Speed is something I would never do.
On another note, 2C-B which in itself is somewhere between MDMA and LSD, is said to combine quite nicely with MDMA, especially in extending the MDMA session. One drawback about it is that its really rare and some people don't really like it at all.
It was actually marketed as Nexus in Germany as a sex drug. Supposedly it makes sex wonderful - as oppesed to pure MDMA, which most people report to have opposing effects to reaching orgasm. Of course, it became abused, actually mostly in the USA.

Interesting. Why should you know take 5-HTP four hours prior to popping?
Its the direct precursor to serotonin in your brain. It only makes sense that it should help you replenish supplies of it. Though again this is not confirmed in human studies, I've only heard of monkeys in rats, but I can't imagine this process from being too different in people.
The reason not to take it less then 4 hours before is probably because it will put stress on your brain as its trying to make serotonin and all that MDMA activity at the same time, but who knows...its just some people reported adverse effects.

The real reason, and I can say this from firsthand experience, is that once your body starts to process the 5htp, it has an inhibiting affect on your neural transmittors that get a kick start when you do pills, and this results in you getting no where near as mullered as you would probably like.
Your best bet to do it 24 hours away from your next party, prefs just before you go to bed
All I can say is be careful when taking it. I mean, it is fun to let your body go and feel the drug as much as possible but before taking it remind yourself what you are getting into and that you need to still be careful and cautious in what you are doing. First time for me was just this past NYE at IKON when I saw PvD and Obir. I almost, well... slipped. One minute I was dancing having a great time and the next I was sitting in the corner thinking at any momen it was all over.
I can't stress enough how important water is AND taking breaks from dancing or whatever activity it is you are doing. I think that is one thing that is the most highly over rated. Everyone can tell you to drink water but its no good if you are still keeping your body temp way up by dancing non-stop. My friend and I must have went though about 3 bottles of water in an hour which should have been plenty but I danced non-stop for a few and thats when dehydration and panick set in. I didnt realise how huge of a mind fuck this drug really is. If you are in a happy mood it intensifies it x10000 but if your mood is opposite then expect the same results. I dehydrated, which I do sometimes and kinda freak but freaking out while on E just makes it a whole different ball game. Luckily while in the corner some random guy saw me in my current condition and gave me his bottle of water that he just bought for $5. Then my friend found me and was just yelling at me "Its in your head! Dont let it get to you! Its in your head just go back out there and listen to the music!" 2 minutes later I was right back where I began. Dancing and enjoying the scene.
Just be careful. It is a fun time, maybe the best time you will ever have BUT it has its limits.
