D-Aspartic Acid and MDMA

[smashey]

Hey guys, quick question.
I have been taking D-Aspartic Acid for about 2 weeks now for test boosting purposes. I recently got a hold of pure MDMA powder and plan on taking it on Thursday. I decided to come here for some knowledge of the combination of the two and the effects it could potentially have on my body.

D-Aspartic Acid stimulates the NDMA receptors as a neurotransmitter : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartic_acid


would having both in my system be a bad idea? ive done ecstasy (not pure mdma) plenty of times

If I remember correctly, DAA stimulates TESTOSTERONE production by binding to hormone receptors in the pituitary and testicles.
I do not remember reading anything about NMDA, but this was months ago....and I don't feel like searching right now.

I do remember when I took it I had moderate dizziness, followed by mild anxiety/anger.
I assumed this was due to an increase in dopamine activity....but this receded withing hours.
Then there was a noticeable increase in semen production...

I felt no after-effects, so I imagine it is eliminated from the body quickly.
Stop taking it several days in advance to be sure.

I believe it is a precursor to several amino acids in the body, but not glutamate.
Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter of the brain, and may be involved in the toxic cascade from MDMA use.
Since DAA activates the NMDA receptors, it might increase glutamate activity in the brain....but I don't know.
NMDA antagonists can prevent neurotoxicity, according to many on BL.

Stop the DAA now and exercise, you should be fine.
Controlling your dosage of MDMA is the most critical risk factor.
Re-dosing increases the 'damage' caused by the drug.

According to wikipedia:

Neurotransmitter

Aspartate (the conjugate base of aspartic acid) stimulates NMDA receptors, though not as strongly as the amino acid neurotransmitter glutamate does.[5]

So it does stimulate NMDA receptors. I'm assuming this would pose some sort of problem and that I should stop taking the DAA until after Thursday?

Thanks again

But DAA doesn't convert into glutamate.
If it did, it would be VERY unpleasant to take it.
It is only mildly unpleasant, IMO.

But yes - stop taking it now.

Yea, I don't feel anything from it so my body is fine with it.

I'll be alright to take MDMA this week then? No adverse effects from DAA?

Thanks for the clarification.
