Well the other day I drank a Mellow Marely Mood some drink that relaxes you a bit and tastes good, has kava, passion flower and other shit in it, but I'm pretty sure passion flower has maois in it, not sure how much of the chemical.

But maybe like an hour later I drank a large bottle of delsym. I didn't notice anything wrong but I had really bad robo itch, so bad that my hands were red and inflamed, was itchy as hell on my feet too.

I completely forgot about the possibility of MAOI's being in this drink, but I didn't die or feel ill besides this.

I always thought it was bad, just curious if maybe it wasn't a high enough dose to interact.
 
i would bet you'd be fine Ason.
i mean if a drink has like actual levels of MAOIs in it i doubt the FDA would allow the sale of it in the first place, and if it was allowed id guarantee you there would be a warning label, because of how risky MAOIs are.
 
It could've been worse. You could've died.
Never take DXM if you are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI).
This also applies for one week before and two weeks after taking a MAOI. MAOIs include some (rarely used) prescription drugs for depression and Parkinson's disease, a few recreational ethnobotanicals (harmine and harmaline), and yohimbe bark. Mixing DXM and a MAOI has regularly been fatal.

Yeah this all happened yesterday, I was just really freaked out I wasn't even thinking about it.

Definately an enjoyable trip, but I think I passed out during it, those drinks make you tiiiired. I did notice it being more intense than a normal dose, but I think it was because I still had a weed high going, smoking rez later on, always increases it.


EDIT: Not sure how much passion flower was in it, don't have a can.
 
i am just saying ason, i GUARANTEE you if it had an active dose of MAOI in it there wouldve been a lawsuit of some sort already, youre not even allowed to eat certain foods on MAOIs because of the risk of serotonin syndrome.
dont worry, be happy :)
 
passionflower does not have active levels of MAOI. I have no idea who keeps perpetuating this myth. Any activity that passionflower may have is due to some other mechanism, because it is not an MAOI.

Obviously they exaggurate it for safety reasons. Very low doses won't be fatal for MOST people. Just try not to do it again. :|

yea this is what i always thought.
 
They can probably be detected in passionflower, but without quantification it doesn't say that much. You can imagine they found these beta carbolines in there and basically assumed they were responsible for its action. But later a lot more compounds were found like (bio)flavinoids and stuff.

So you guys are right, there are small amounts in there but not enough to make that kind of a difference. It doesn't mean there would not be synergy with something like mushrooms with it though...

Anyway, to be on the safe side I would not combine such products like that drink with a complex drug like DXM with contraindications that deserve exclamation marks. You never know what will amount to a problematic combination with that sort of thing.
