Gearing up for my next roll .

[xpr´k]

Ive been reading up alot on XTC , its nasty sideeffects on your brain chemistry and the things i can do to minimize them. But ive read so much and sometimes different posts seem to contradict each other (like with the B6+5HTP story) so i'm not really sure i understand it all correctly .


Heres how i get it , prior to rolling :


take some multivitamins, get some good nights sleep, eat heatlhy (especially last 2 days) en cancel the roll if you feel stressed or depressed .


while rolling :


avoid alcohol and other types of drugs (except maybe some weed on the comedown) . Drink enough, preferably isotonic drinks, if rolling long enough eat some food .


Take some antioxidants like vitamin C


There's magnesium (1000mg??) if you start getting lockjaw or muscles spasms/cramps but it can be heavy on the stomach .


To end the roll:


On the comedown take 5HTP (200mg) to minimize depression and get to sleep a little better . Use a lower dosage (100mg) for about 4 to 5 days after the roll .


What i got so far :


5HTP on order 120 100mg pills


Multivitamins i had from last year when i was into fitness (are these still good ??)


Questions i got:


What antioxidants do you guys use , just regular vitamin C tables or those special anti-oxidant formulas you can buy at the gym and in what dosage.


Can Someone explain to me again what the deal is with vit B6 and HTP5 , i read about 3 different versions of the same story and i feel confused about it .


I also read somewhere you cant mix 5HTP with proteine rich foods or drinks (milk!) , but taking the 5HTP 1 hour in advance of the proteine should mean the 5HTP doesnt get cancelled out by the proteine .


What dosage do you use with the magnesium , ive only seen one mention (1000mg) but that seems a bit high .

What antioxidants do you guys use , just regular vitamin C tables or
those special anti-oxidant formulas you can buy at the gym and in what
dosage.

Vitamin E is avery useful anti-oxidant, as is Alpha-Lipoic Acid.
A powerful multivitamin will probably contain all that has been
mentioned here, and more (although you might need to buy some
Alpha-Lipoic Acid seperately)

Can Someone explain to me again what the deal is with vit B6 and
HTP5 , i read about 3 different versions of the same story and i feel
confused about it .

Deal is: Vitamin B6 (and B12, I think) will speed up the reaction from
5-htp > Serotonin. Unfortunately this means that the reaction
will occur in places other than the brain quicker than in the brain
itself. I.e. you will get serotonin in your liver, and blood
etc,.. There is a school of thought that thinks this is cardio-toxic.

I also read somewhere you cant mix 5HTP with proteine rich foods or
drinks (milk!) , but taking the 5HTP 1 hour in advance of the proteine
should mean the 5HTP doesnt get cancelled out by the proteine .

Load of old waffle.

What dosage do you use with the magnesium , ive only seen one mention (1000mg) but that seems a bit high .

About a gram is right. Varies from person to person. It can
give you the splats at that level though, so 'test-eat' a gram on a
Tuesday afternoon... if it gives you the splats, then dont eat a gram
when you get mashed




Well done for trying to read up and minimise harm

[Juu2]

yeh there are to many e-tards out there

[xpr´k]

when i took it in my teens i had no clue as to how harmfull it was . I really thought xtc was the most harmless drug next to weed .


Thank god i know my way around the net these days ) .
