I could be wrong but I was under the impression that it was a bad idea to mix amphetamines and MXE. I just assumed the DOX family was probably a bad idea with Mexy.
With regards to music & MXE, I find if I notice "imperfections" like in badly compressed files more. Also, either a nice, loud system with subs or a good pair of over the ear headphones makes a huge difference. Even my Cerwin-Vega E31O's (no sub) sounds kind of weak while the same tunes through my Audio Technica ATH M50's take me... there. Still like everything with MXE its somewhat unpredictable.
Over 3 years ok MXE use, I'm convinced the hole is only "open" sometimes. Sometimes taking more just won't get you there no matter what. It will get you confused & disoriented though. Lying still in bed with headphones & blindfold is is the best bet IME. Pure Bliss...
Has anyone mixed mxe with DOC? I don't believe it's listed on the safe /unsafe combo page.
I doubt I'll ever try MXE and I haven't even read much about it but I have a fascination with Ketamine which I've never been able to find so I was just curious:
Is MXE dangerous to take with Klonopin and Prozac?
Does it interact badly with either?
Also, it's legal in the U.S. right?
Just wondering.
As for the serotonin releasing drug combos, YES there is potential for overload/serotonin syndrome because MXE has proven SRI (serotonin reuptake inhibition) properties.
Combination with Klonopin should be safe in moderation with both. There is a long history of safe clinical use of benzodiazepines co-administered with dissociative anesthetics. Risk of CNS depression is only significant if being combined with alcohol and/or opiates (or if taking a large dose)
Yeah MXE at high doses with music is incredible, that's what I was doing when I had my M-hole experience that I wrote about. Laying down, hit of cannabis (or not, but it synergizes), music. Give Shpongle a try with it, my personal favorite (by far) is Nothing Lasts But Nothing Is Lost (the album)... it seems made for the MXE experience, to me. I actually have listened to that album most of the times I've done full doses of MXE, it's that good.
Thanks,
So what if one were to mix Klonopin and Prozac with Ketamine?
That Shpongle album is one of my favorites too. I tried that last night and it was indeed incredible. My dose was low tho, did ~50mg over the night with cannabis but definitely doing it again with higher doses. Shpongle vibes are kinda unique, I havent really heard anything even remotely similar sounds. Other psy artists I know haven't been able to achieve same kind of multidimensionality as Shpongle. Kudos to this group.
I had to do some research on Ketamine's interactions with SSRIs to confirm, and it seems that the SRI properties of ketamine (compared to MXE) are very weak and thus should not present any significant interactions. However, the serotonergic system is not the only place there could be an interaction between the two drugs. I did find this:
"Certain SSRI's also have an influence on expression of P450 liver enzymes, which has implications towards ketamine's N-demethylation into norketamine. Fluvoxamine (Luvox) for example, is an inhibitor of CYP: 1A2; 2C9; and 3A(4,5,7) enzymes. Fluoxetine (Prozac) is an inhibitor of CYP: 2C19 and 2D6. Sertaline (Zoloft) is an inhibitor of the CYP2C9 enzyme. Of the three aforementioned SSRI's, only Fluoxetine (Prozac) does not interfere with the enzyme expression of CYP3A4, CYP2B6, and CYP2C9.
"
So while Prozac does not interfere with this enzyme expression, it seems other SSRIs do.
I just gotta say as a sucker for simple forms....snarky puppy and some more exploratory new jazz masters that complex tight sound, my word.....my mind has been blown.Yeah I totally agree. Shpongle is the most organic sounding electronic music I have ever heard. That guy is a genius, straight up. It's so layered and complex, it seems to embody the psychedelic experience in sound. On MXE it's unbelievably perfect. And I think Nothing Lasts But Nothing Is Lost is their most varied and complex album. A lot of people I know prefer Are You Shpongled, but I don't (though that one is great too).
