My supplementation regimen is not scientifically proven, nor should it be used as a claim that you can prevent 100% of the neurotoxicity risk. It's meant as a harm-reduction strategy for those choosing to use MDMA anyway

>Previously I had convinced myself (mainly via reading things on the internet and hearing what others said about it) that it was totally harmless and "safer than horse riding or alcohol". That pisses me off so much. I t

LSD and traditional psychedelics are not neurotoxic. However, they can cause HPPD and psychological issues if not done in the proper environment.

It would be a familiar environment, with people that you trust, and in a proper mindset. Having some Xanax on hand is a good idea too, if things get out of control. You want your environment to be as familiar and safe as

Correct. Psychedelics will down-regulate serotonin receptors. That is what is causing tolerance. Even MDMA only acutely depletes serotonin stores by 15-20%. It's the down-regulation of tryptophan hydroxylase that eventua

Yeah, that is a good way as a last ditch effort. It completely aborts it, though. Xanax just calms you down.

From what I see, 50mg is good.

No, not always. Nicotine actually up-regulates ACh receptors, but desensitizes them. They are different mechanisms. Up-regulation of serotonin receptors is usually done with Saint John's Wort.

There are a few possible mechanisms for HPPD. The most likely is excitotoxicity in the neurons that control visual and auditory processing. Excitotoxicity is caused by excess glutamatergic signaling, which can be exacerb

Well that's just another jump in assumptions. Benzos act directly on the GABA system. Selank's actions are a lot different. Could they help? Possibly. However, there is no evidence of that yet. If the theory is correct,

If the excitotoxicity theory of HPPD is true, perhaps. The issue is that DXM is mostly a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor. Its metabolite DXO is actually the NMDA antagonist. So DXM is going to interact with a lot more syst
