wow, thats a nice (and pretty unique) reaction to mdai! glad you had a nice time on it
perhaps it is worth a mention in the mdai thread? who knows, others may have had (or may have) similar experiences...
i like mdai on its own though. it doesnt feel that sedating to me at all... it also is the least horny inducing remotly stimmy substance i ve ever tried
IME MDAI actually is a slight aphrodisiac and makes me horny. But nothing like stimulants, I get sexually obsessed on them and so horny I could explode. I don't know if it's some kind of counteraction by my mind, as SSRI's have killed my sex drive almost completely, even after stopping them. The good thing about MDAI is that it's not really a stimulant and has almost zero noradrenergic effects so I can take a few beta blockers before sleep to get my pulse down (which would be dangerous on stims).
I got a bit irritated when the high started to wear off, so I took some pregabalin (it's a wonder drug for me, it turns everything negative to positive every time, stimulant comedowns are erased), propranolol and alcohol. It turned the high into a completely different one.
I really miss psychedelics though. But as long as I'm on benzo WD I've decided not to take them. My mind is not as stable as it would be otherwise, and even if I've almost never needed extra benzos on a trip there's no parachute if things would go seriously wrong. While I normally can encounter fear on trips and actually learn a lot from it, I don't think my mind can handle fear in the same way right now. Obviously I shouldn't use any drugs while on WD but as it's such a long process I can't resist the temptations of drugs.
have their been any conclusive studies that MDAI is significantly less bad for you than any of the other MDXX?
I have a feeling that with most stims if they aren't hitting you so hard you could take little 'boosters' of certain things like Caffeine or Theanine or even just most of the stuff in energy drinks.
it worked incredibly well with me on DOC when I drank an energy drink with a lot of theanine and arginine and stuff like that and I felt incredible.
Conclusive, probably not, as there haven't been any studies involving humans AFAIK. In animal tests MDAI has not shown any neurotoxicity, e.g. according to
this study not even when co-administered with certain DRI's. I'm tempted to believe it is not neurotoxic, as it doesn't release dopamine like MDMA or methamphetamine. It certainly messes with your serotonin levels though. I always take antioxidants with any drug (apart from some tryptamines like DMT and 4-AcO-DMT) as a precaution. EPH is not supposed to be neurotoxic either but it damn sure is toxic to your body when used recreationally, it does really nasty things to my heart, and the vascoconstriction is very pronounced on it.
L-Theanine is indeed great, it reduces the edginess on stims while not affecting mental focus negatively. It's a quite good sleep aid occasionally too in high doses. I've never tried it (or caffeine) with my favourite psych 4-AcO-DMT which sometimes makes me extremely sedated and groggy. Theanine could be good for the mental focus while not stimulating you too much. I'm a bit unsure of adding caffeine to psychs though, as caffeine can make me anxious.
