MDMA Supplementation

Original post in this thread

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.

Awesome, thanks for the quick response.

Also, I should opt for Prozac instead of 5-HTP the first night? I ask due to the potential for serotonin syndrome.

After the massive dump of 5-HT that MDMA induces, your stores will be so low as it is. Taking both Prozac and 5-HTP should not be an issue, so long as you only take one Prozac dose. Don't keep taking Prozac the following week. Just stick to 5-HTP and EGCG for 3-5 days.

How long prior to MDMA should you take your pre-load? (multivitamins, magnesium and antioxidants)

**-Fully chelated magnesium glycinate.** Doctor's Best brand is good. Most brands are shit. (Dose 400mg before and during) **-Alpha lipoic acid.** You can either get racemic ALA, which is still good. Or you can get full
