Without going into pharmacology, I would like to recommend some things I have seen success with.

This is a list of things to ensure you have the most possible fun while doing minimal (if all tips are followed, marginal to none) damage to your brain, while taking ecstasy over an extended period of time.

1. don't dose more than 1 time every 2 (optimally 4) weeks

2. know your source and all that shit. If you can, only use pills you see and approve of on ecstasydata.org

3. Take a shit load of anti oxidants. These can be expensive but I would never skimp on them. The most important being Alpha Lipoic Acid before and after you does. Make sure not to overdose on K (potassium) in things like orange juice. Blueberries, walnuts, dark chocolate, cranberries, these are all great to eat the day after.

4. A. Instead of taking more x, make sure you supplement with 100mg 5-htp with each dose. do not exceed 100 mg within 2.5 hours of taking tho.
B. 5 htp can also help the next morning, but be careful if you take (or plan on taking) anti depressants. never take an anti-depressant with excess 5-htp, it will cause uncomfortable serotonin syndrome. anti depressants will also "dull" your roll, so have them out of your system before hand, and wait atleast 12 hrs for the 5htp to get out before taking them



5. AS GREAT AS IT FEELS, minimize your exposure to excessive heat, especially your head, and don't forget to piss. seriously...

6. get atleast a marquis test, the more tests the better though. They have the robadope, mecke,simons, mandelin, etc.

Drink water. Lots and lots of water.

Only drink enough water that is necessary to keep your body hydrated. Drinking water continuously can lead to hyponatremia, also known as water poisoning (which is essentially lowering your body's electrolytes).

here is an excerpt from erowid:

"The dangers of drinking water obsessively while high are real. If you're drinking a lot of water, in any context, mixing in some salty snacks or drinking sport drinks will keep your salt and electrolyte levels healthier and can prevent hyponatremia. People on E very often do not want to eat anything, so salty snacks tend to be a ineffective option. While some people find these sugary/salty drinks are unappealing, others find that they quench the thirst better than water...and they can definitely help prevent both hyperthermia and hyponatremia".

sry for the long post guys.

Yeah, "lots and lotss" of water really isnt neccesary. Over the course of 8 hours dancing in a crowded hot ass club, I drink maybe 2-3 bottles of water.

seriously tho alpha lipoic acid and 5-htp are two things a roller should never ever go without. anti-oxidant complex is a plus.

For those who haven't used 5-htp, or think this is all conjecture or bullshit, 5-htp is the last precursor on the chemical rx line to make serotonin. with moderate mdma (and to a lesser extent mda) still in your system you can feel a 5-htp hit your bloodstream within 10 minutes, trust me that shits fire you will never roll without them again.

you don't really need to spread your doses out every two weeks. that's just recommended for the best effects. with potentiation, even if you dosed less than a week ago, you can still roll hard.

check your pills with www.pillreports.com

yeah you don't need to spread your doses apart if you want Ecstasy to stop working for you after 5 times..

spacing out your doses is definitely a good idea if you dont want to completely screw up your brain. IT takes a few weeks for your brain to "recover" from ecstasy, so if you dont wait, its like you are compounding the damage to your brain.

good point hom36rown, I didn't even think of the neurotoxic standpoint. +rep
