I had tried AMT a few times before mainly on my own or with one other friend. This time I decided to do it with a close female friend (M) who had come to visit me. We also had a little pot & alcohol(too little unfortunately).
We ate one gelcap(approx. 45mg) each at 10 pm. Knowing the sadness & restlessness that AMT causes when you’ve got nothing to do, I suggested we go check out a club in a city about an hours drive away. I figured it would take 2 hrs. to come on anyway so I would be driving sober. We got there fine, stopped in a pub for a beer waiting for the place to open, & around 11:20pm we both started feeling the effects quite strongly. I also noticed it became more interesting to just sit & observe people, like a kid at a zoo. Time to do some dancing! But no, the place turned out to be an ultra- high class place & one look at our eyes & the bouncer refused to let us in(excuse: you aren’t dressed elegant enough). It was now 11:40 & I was really flying at this point, the only trouble was that now I had to drive around in a big city I wasn’t familiar with to find another place, which proved very difficult indeed. I remember thinking why traffic lights took so long to turn green, I was convinced it was because I had been spacing out & missed the green. AMT has a way of confusing you because on one side you’re very clear-headed, while on the other you’re tripping like acid. We finally found another club, but it was also this rich-good-boy-don’t-do-drugs-except-cocaine place & the people there were really starting to annoy me. I swear i could read their minds & knew if they had done coke, while asking directions for another club(not that I could really understand directions at this point, but it was fun talking to someone & watching them talk to me), I casually lit a joint right there & started intentionally puffing on people waiting in line there. I was even thinking on yelling out if anyone wanted to share it with us, thank god I didn’t! At 12.30pm I shared some of my thoughts with M & she decided it was better if we headed back home before I pulled some Fear & loathing in Las Vegas stunt. So yes what I feared came upon me, I had to drive an hour back home peaking on AMT, it might as well could have been a 10 hr. Drive cause the time dilation was extreme at this point. On the way home M & I had a very nice discussion on various topics, also I was starting to feel that sort of “concentrated depression” that I’ve felt other times doing AMT alone, but talking about it with M was so liberating, it made me feel 100x better. I was also very concerned about driving now & that I didn’t want anything to happen, but M was having a great time since she didn’t have to drive, staring at the lights of other cars & buildings flying by. She kept saying she didn’t envy me ‘cause I had to drive. We ended up going to a disco next to my house where my mom used to take me when I was 14. The crowd there is the typical straight, middle-class, 30-40yr. old crowd. But we found another dance floor with some good house, & to my surprise, a bunch of kiddies rolling there asses off!! Walking into that place I felt like an alien visiting earth, and everyone looked so pathetic to me, especially the 30yr guys hitting on plastic painted chicks almost seemed grotesque. Many times I would have told someone how pathetic they looked, but M was always there to keep me out of trouble. For once in my life I didn’t feel slightly inferior to everyone else in a club, I felt like I was god in there. I was seeing plenty visuals at this point(3:00am) but it just seemed normal to me at the time that walls & surfaces should be warping & wiggling, & shadows dancing around everywhere. Reality is what astounded me the most!
At 3:30 we had a couple drinks, but I didn’t feel the light tipsy feeling of the alcohol, I was still peaking at this point. If I heard any sort of music I just couldn’t keep still. Sometimes I would catch myself thinking something really twisted(like something I’d be thinking on acid), but since my head was so clear at the same time I’d end up laughing at myself. We spent most of the evening dancing, going for water, or being all over each other on some couch. Once we discovered how much fun kissing was, nether of us could get enough! The place closed at 4am, & my body felt heavy, my mind on the other hand was racing. Back home I started to notice the visuals, everything seemed to be moving. I was sitting on the toilet taking a piss when out of the corner of my eye I noticed a crocodile head on the heater, it started melting & dripping towards the floor, when I turned it was just a pair of underwear. M was sitting on her bed staring at her hands saying, “I never knew they looked so ugly” so I started staring at mine, Wohh! Veins were popping out every where & they were bigger than usual. We smoked the last 2 hash joints we had, & cuddled up on a bed listening to music. I completely forgot what it meant to be sober, I just had no mental landmarks anymore(approx. 5:30am). Our conversation at this point was limited to describing our visuals and expressing gratitude for each others presence, or simply to babble about the most incredible nonsense which did seem to make sense at the time! We couldn’t sleep so I opted for a movie, what did I chose in my altered state of mind? Saving Private Ryan. No the blood & guts didn’t freak us out, we thought it was hilarious, & the pathetic patriotism even more so! Normally I hate that film, being of German origin, But this time it was amusing, almost like watching a Disney film. The more serious the actors were in a scene, the funnier it was! I finally fell asleep around 10am, craving for weed, wine & benzos.
It was a pleasant experience, Amt is now one of my drugs of choice. I do regret not having any benzos on hand. Amt lasts SO long otherwise. But one Amt trip is worth 2 months of psychotherapy.
I hope you find this report readable/interesting, it's my first trip report.

Great report. AMT, sounds fun, but it's probably something I'll never get my hands on.
 
grate trip report! I'm currently waiting for my AMT to arrive and your this report has made me really excited about it.
 
Back in September, I tried AMT. It was a very interesting experience. My friends had tried it and said it was a very long trip, and I was interested. So I researched the drug (mostly through Erowid) and through some books around the house concerning tryptamine's and MAOI's (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors). I discovered that AMT is related to many other psychedelics and drugs (like DMT and the stuff that makes you trip from toads), and should not be mixed with pretty much anything (since it is relatively new and not much is known anout it and its effects as an MAOI). Erowid taught me a good amount about it, especially in the section where people share their experiences on the drug (like never do E on AMT, and stuff like that). I also learned that you should not mix foods containing tyramine with MAOI's. Now, since almost all food contains tyramine, I decided not to eat during my trip. Tyramine is a normal chemical component of the body that helps sustain blood pressure. It can rise to fatal levels when combined with some drugs (such as MAOI's). Tyramine is found in most foods, such as, alcohol beverages, breads & yeast products, cheese & most dairy products, sour cream, fruits (bananas, plums, avocados, figs, raisins), meats and meat substitutes (like soy products), vegetables (beans and eggplant), and other products that are added to food, such as yeast, marmite, soup cubes, commercial gravy, soy sauces, and any protein food that has been stored improperly or spoiled. After learning as much as I could about it, I obtained a pill for 10 bucks and was off to see the Disco Biscuits. I had a great time and danced a lot throughout the night. The worst part about it was that I had to puke to start my trip, a little over an hour after ingesting it, and that my hip muscles bothered me a lot while I was dancing. But after I puked a little I felt great and was on top of the world. Thank God that I was in the right scene, otherwise I don't know how much fun I would have had, since it is extremely intense. This drug is not for the faint of heart and only people with experience on many other drugs should try this one. I would say the drug feels like about 5 hits of acid with 5-6 pills of E and a line of meth for about 16 hours straight (although around the 12-13 hour point I slowly started coming down). I treated my trip as a very long and intense candyflip. I stayed well hydrated and stopped dancing whenever I didn't feel right. I smoked a lot of herb and cigs while on it. The nugs definetely intensified the visuals, but it did not contribute to the euphoric ecstasy feel that AMT also provides. At about 16-17 hours after taking it, I was pretty much down. It felt like I was coming down off of a very intense candyflip and the way you feel when coming down after snorting an eight ball of coke or doing meth for more than a day combined. I read in Erowid that taking a benzodiazepine (drugs like xanax, valium, etc.) when coming down will help you feel better and allow you to sleep easier and sooner. Unfortunately, I didn't have any more xanax at the time and dealt with it. In my opinion it wasn't that bad coming down (although I took some Tylenol PM to help me fall asleep). The next day I felt a lttle woosey and not fully with it. But it wasn't that much different than recovering from any other super intense drug experience. My experience was a good one and if I had the opportunity to do it again I probably would, but only at a two day concert festival or rave or something similar since it lasts for so long.

Excellent read, but I wonder...the depression you speak of while tripping...is it because someday you too will be a 30 year old guy hitting on women? Hmmm....
 
i'm curious did you do this at the NYE show in philly? cuz i was trippin on AMT as well at that show and it was absolute insanity. i was peaking right at 12am when it got real intense.

No, unfortunatley I didn't make it to Philly for the Bisco shows. For NYE and the night preceeding, I was at the moe. shows in Asbury Park, N.J. As far as the Bisco show I refer to, it was at Saratoga Winners, outside Albany, N.Y...
 
dude your cool *tylerdurden* so what's this AMT shit ? (no doubt i'll research it on my own)
 
Biscophish, wouldn't worry too much about the MAOI effect of AMT, just don't mix other drugs with it, but you can eat practically anything as far a food is concerned(drink all the beer & red wine you want). & it is a strong drug, but M was doing it for the first time & she was fine. For NYE at a huge overcrowded rave I gave for the first time AMT to 4 of my friends, some of them had never even tried other drugs than weed. But they a enjoyed it immensely.(they thought it was a trippy e pill) I made sure they didn't mix it with anything else.
cascadia, no I wasn't thinking that. But for me with AMT I can get really depressed if I do it alone at home, because I don't know what to do with myself. & that time when i was driving it was because i was wondering what we were going to for the rest of the evening. Basically an un-founded fear. I've found that large gatherings are the best place to do AMT, but also with some chill-out place you can retreat to when you feel like it.

Sounds like you guys had a good time. Best time I ever had on AMT was when I smoked roughly 10-15mg and then dosed 50mg an hour later. Talk about fun.

I did mix shrooms and AMT but this was a very weird and unfulfilling mix. The AMT overpowered my very spiritual shroom trip. I was left with the audio distortions of shrooms and the more unpleasant side effects of AMT with little CEV's. Yeah one day I'll post it. But im lazy so it might take me a while.
