What do you mean the increase in oxytocin appears to be irrelevant to the effects of MDMA? MDMA is working via SERT in the hypothalamus. An Australian group showed MDMA fos activation of oxytocin neurons can be blocked by a 5HT antagonist.
MDMA massively increases serotonin & to a lesser (but still remarkable) extent, dopamine. This leads to reinforcement & strengthening of prosocial brain circuitry. The enormous oxytocin increases appear irrelevant to the effects of MDMA.
