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.

Essential Supplements:

* Alpha Lipoic Acid- This is one that everyone should be taking. It is a powerful antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. 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. Most supplements a…

I will give it go. How long did you take the piracitram?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb

I have taken lots of racetams regularly for over a year. If you are wondering how long it took me to notice effects, immediately. Piracetam is fairly subtle, and will build over time. Stronger racetams will be noticed very quickly, and have different effects. I do not need choline supplementation, but many people do. I have only gotten a choline deficiency headache once, after weeks of noopept, oxiracetam, and pramiracetam with no choline supplementation. I eat a lot of eggs, though.

Do you view /r/Nootropics ever?

Have you ever tried take 0mg of choline? Everyone keeps perpetuating the misconception that we *must* have choline with our racetams. I take no choline supplementation, even when I am on piracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracet

Pramiracetam 180

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.

Ceretropic now carries PRL-8-53, IDRA21, noopept, phenylpiracetam, pramiracetam, oxiracetam, phenibut, and aniracetam

I hope you like my last minute descriptions! It was my girlfriend's birthday this weekend, and my brother came into town. So I was a little rushed. Haha
