That is a mild MAOI and SSRI. It actually has an interesting effect of up-regulating serotonin receptors. This will not affect 5-HT production, though.

Yes there are! I have them on my computer. There are rat, mice, primate, and human studies. The dosing ranges anywhere from the human equivalent of 1mg/kg of MDMA to 4mg/kg. These are normal recreational doses. Read thr
