| Avoid high protein meals close to taking 5-HTP to allow maximum assimilation. Two hours before you plan to take your E, take 200-500mg 5-HTP, so taking it before gives you one hour of coming up, then your serotonin levels are peaked as the MDMA kicks in. |

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), is a popular, potentially valuable dietary supplement that promotes the body's production of serotonin. It's important, however, to treat such supplements as you would any other drug.
In scientific terms it's a compound synthesized from tryptophan, is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is found in the brain, blood platelets', and cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Because serotonin is found in the brain and central nervous system it has many implications in depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and sleep patterns. Supplementation of 5-HTP has shown a distinct ability to increase serotonin levels. The function of ProzacTm , and many other antidepressant drugs, is to increase the availability of serotonin in synapses in certain key areas of the brain. However, these drugs may present many unpleasant and dangerous side effects. Since the availability of tryptophan is restricted by the FDA, many research scientists have discovered that 5-HTP compares favorably to various antidepressant drugs.
On a side note if you need to take 5-HTP in order to enjoy your MDMA experience, your probably not giving your brain enough time to replenish its serotonin naturally. |

| to be honest, i don't really mind the day after at all! you can just lie in bed watchin tv all day, feeling sooo lazy. a glass of oj is usually nice (actually a whole carton). i never get bad comedowns i.e. depression, i feel physically knackered from dancing and a sore jaw from the e but the rest is all in the mind, if you understand that there is a depleted chemical in your brain (seratonin) then you can just block out any ill feelings.. its all in the mind! i love waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror and seeing that ive still got eyes like a cats on a mouse, its great, makes me smile! |

| i once read that drinking coffee and orange juice isnt as good as people think. the thing is that the caffine destroys the vitamin C in the OJ... or so the scientists say.... so as for the hangover i guess pick one not both |

for me the cure has always been to smoke some herb the next day,
that way you will get your appetite up since you dont really eat when ur rollin. weed also lets u just chill and relax it kinda avoid depression the next day, and when i eat i feel better..pece
i think i might try that 5-htp stuff |

| I don't know, the only thing i get is sketchyness sometimes afterwards, but nothing like a hang-over where i feel like .. i usually have an after-glow. |

nothing like sketchy sundays...
i like to just sit and chill
OJ helps a lot, i find that if i drink coffee, it brings some of the effects of the E back, which can be fun as well :)
it's all about eating cereal and watching TV :) |
