drinking is bad cambo with MD-- takes from the high.
Gear(if you can find it) and valiums by contrats is good for the comedown. Makes the transition smooth if you smoke some before returning to baseline and wraps you in a warm euphoric blanket. Its like playing with fire though- before you know it you have a habit and the tueday blues turn into the heroin flues. So be advised-it sneaks up on you ever so insidiously.
From a harm reduction standpoint hyperthemia can be a problem so drinking adequate amounts (1-2 L) fluid is good, but overhydration and reulting hyponatremia and other problems are also a problem because drinking to much fluid and not diuresisng enough dilutes the sodium in your blood- people have experienced complications from this too so don't drink gallons and gallons and when dancing take frquent rests. I think dancesafe has more harm reduction info on this topic.
Also studies were done that found that taking an SSRI before basline might prevent the alleged 5-HT neurotoxicity. Avoid using MDs with SSRI or any other antidpressant that increases the availability of seratonin because you could precipitate a seratonin syndrome. Theoretically with ssri you might not feel the whole high, instead of getting seratonin syndrome because it ties up the seratonin transporter MDs need, but seratonin syndrome is a bad, bad thing- an emergency situ, and if your on a drug like prozac, there is a long half life so missing one dose might mot be enough to prevent this.
