Likewise, the plasma half-life of -MDMA was significantly longer than that of the (S)-enantiomer (5.8 ± 2.2 hours vs 3.6 ± 0.9 hours). [77] However, because MDMA excretion and metabolism have nonlinear kinetics, [ 215 ] the half-lives would be higher at more typical doses (100 mg is sometimes considered a typical dose).
