Cactus Extract (bridgesii) safe with adderall?

[Wintermute]

Hello there... So I have a decent amount of Bridgesii extract that is supposed to be a "really good amount" to have a good trip on. It's a 10g brick of extract, enough for two people I am told.

My question is: If the bridgesii is purported to contain natural MAOI's, and I'm prescribed 80mg of Adderall IR daily (4 x 20mg doses) that I tolerate very easily in those therapeutic doses (I've never taken more than 30mg at once without staggering the doses by at least an hour), will I need to abstain from my medication before taking the extract? Is there a real danger there? I've been reading about people taking MDMA with cactus extracts and apparently having wonderful, amazing times, and no real mention of serious cardiovascular side-effects.

Basically, can I take my regular dosage of medication (20mg adderall every 4 hours or so) and be fine? I figured to be safe I would just take a lower amount of adderall, but the fatigue can really affect my trips in ways that I don't fully realize until I'm starting to come down. Maybe I should just take my adderall 2-3 hours before the extract, and then once I've gone through the customary vomiting and start to trip, I can take my next adderall if I feel the need? I've never taken mescaline before in any form and I'd hate to be anxious about my blood pressure going up when it's just the typical effects I'm feeling...

I'm probably over thinking this, but you know... Better safe than sorry

That's a pretty bad idea if you ask me. In all Ayahausca diet guides they specifically state amphetamine as something that you need to stop taking a long time beforehand and the Wikipedia article on Aderall states that if you take it within 2 weeks of taking an MAOI then you'll end up with a hypertensive crisis.

I don't know how strong the MAOI-effect of Bridgesii is, but I don't think it's something you really want to find out

Don't bother taking amphetamine on mescaline, it only induces the possibility for unpleasant bodyload. It's not like your ADD is going to be an issue on mescaline...
