I read the article, and it doesn't seem beyond possibility that he wasn't exactly the smartest dude on the block, before he took all that e.
That said, if street e is as impure and subject to cutting as people say it is, then he was exposed to an enormous amount of other garbage as well.
One thing that struck me. Does e run on the same mechanisms as the SSRIs? This got a couple of mentions in the article, so you'd think there'd be an enormous number of people on SSRI's long-term to study.
No. MDMA causes the forcible release of neurotransmitters, especially serotonin. SSRIs simply prolong the action of serotonin that is spontaneously released, so they tend to be much milder.
