Mixing Ibuprofen (Advil) and MDMA (molly)
Caution
MDMA already stresses the kidneys, and ibuprofen adds to that. Rehydrate instead of taking ibuprofen ahead of time.
MDMA can cause hyperthermia, dehydration and, rarely, rhabdomyolysis — all of which stress the kidneys. NSAIDs reduce renal blood flow, so ibuprofen taken to head off an MDMA comedown headache adds load exactly when the kidneys are least able to take it. Rehydrate rather than pre-dosing ibuprofen.
The risk here is to the experience — intensity, panic, thought loops, confusion. Physical harm is unlikely at ordinary doses. Setting, company and dose do most of the work.
