MDMA significantly boosts oxytocin levels, a neurohormone crucial for bonding between individuals and even pets. This increase in oxytocin not only enhances feelings of connection but also plays a role in the emotional pain of losing those bonds. Studies reveal that higher doses of MDMA lead to marked increases in oxytocin, highlighting its potential impact on human relationships and emotional experiences.
