MDMA Supplementation

Original post in this thread

MisterYouAreSoDumb · 205 points

Ok, I did promise that I would make another post regarding supplementation to mitigate MDMA induced neurotoxicity. I have just been putting it off. Since my last post, I have gathered more information regarding my theory about MDA metabolism being the main cause of MDMA's neurotoxic effects. I will try to not get into that in this post, and keep this mostly about supplementation. As seems to be the norm with me, this may be long winded. Obviously everything I put on this list is not necessary. I will be placing supplements into different categories, with reasonings and references. I will let you decide which ones will be a part of your regimen.

It also has a nice benefit of regenerating other vitamins, like C, after redox cycling. It exists in two enantiomers, R-ALA and S-ALA. R-ALA is the biologically active isomer that we are looking for.

It increases all aspects of the roll for me, very much including the empathy. Same with all the friends I've had try it as well. Anecdotally, so far Noopept has had very similar potentiation and seemingly-neuroprotective effects for me as well. Very interesting that Piracetam doesn't do the same for you though. That said, there's some indications even just post loading with it could help with recovery and mitigating many comedown symtoms. I've definitely found this true for myself.

I always have racetams (oxiracetam, piracetam, noopept) after my roll. The racetams seem to make me irritable at times, and the same holds true while on MDMA. It's interesting you and your friends have the opposite effect.

Is there any real data that racetams work?

First off where do you live? Piracetam is legal most everywhere, save for Australia. It's prescription there for god knows what reason. Piracetam is safe, and has almost no side effects. The only common one is headaches

Replying to TheOptimizzzer · Anything else you add when wanting to just hunker down and research/study for an extended period of time?

Generally I would use oxiracetam, noopept, and phenylpiracetam with it. However, Sabroxy has been doing well for the focus side of things for me. 7,8-DHF would be another I might add in now.
