Vitamin C tabs with sweetners before E..?

[ukcluberleeds]

Hello i am going to the love parade tommorow in leeds and i have been reading that if you take 1000mg or Vitamin C about 1.5 - 2 hours before taking E it reduces the comedown, lets you sleep better and generaly reduces how crap you feel the next day.

Today i toddled along to Asda (Wallmart) and bought a box of vitamin C tabs (500mg/tab). Anyway...they contian an artificial sweetner called "Phenylalanine".

I have now read all over the web that Phenylalanine is a sweetner which is also in fizzy drinks and when taken with E it increases the nerotoxic activity in the brain. - The vitamin C is used to decrease this activity.

What should i do...?

Take some vitamin C tabs today to increase my vitamin levels and early 2mora morining about 5 hours before im guna drop?

Or totaly give it a miss with the Vitamin C tabs...??

Tnx

No I would still use the Vit C it's a very good tool for preventing the come down and as you said it should help with the neuro toxicity. You have to remember that mdma is still considered to be a moderatly neurotoxic drug.

I recommend taking the vitamin C. I never tried it myself but it sounds like a good plan. It's always useful to have a good intake of Vitamin C and sugar when you're buzzing. I usually drink a few glasses of orange juice (which combines both) and it does reduce the bad effects of the comedown quite significantly in my opinion.
