^ The terms 'low' and 'high' are far too simple to be applied to the brains most intricate neurotransmitter system.
Yes, a drop in serotonin is involved in neurotoxicity because it allows metabolites to get into the receptors.
But this doesn't mean that lower global serotonin reduces the risk of serotonin syndrome!
Defined loosely as 'too much serotonin in the brain stem' - this condition fails to recognize the individual circuits throughout the brain that are affected.
If neurotoxic damage has occurred, for instance, then some receptors and pathways might be compromised.
With a lower capacity for serotonin in specific regions, anything that increases global serotonin (like 5-HTP) could cause 'too much serotonin in the brainstem' just enough to damage those pathways.
I will agree that post loading is far less dangerous than preloading, since MDMA is a massive release.
But there is substantial reason for concern with post-loading especially among heavier or long-term MDMA users.
One day the network just cannot sustain normal transmission. And dopamine is suppressed as a result.
MDMA neurotoxicity and serotonin syndrome share many symptoms in common - but they are not mutually exclusive.
BSiren is giving you perhaps the greatest recommendation.
Ginger is a cousin of turmeric, both potent anti-inflammatory agents in the GI.
Perhaps the best.
You should not be concerned about stomach acidity only from MDMA use.
It sounds like you are searching for an explanation to your discomfort and a way to minimize it.
Ginger and turmeric are GREAT for sour stomachs!
Milk Thistle is one of the greatest herbs on the planet, offering substantial protection to the liver.
It encourages under functioning liver cells to function normally and it heals and regrows damaged cells.
It also stimulates bile flow.
Other than these recommendations, only basic harm reduction techniques apply.
Such as controlling your dose, NOT redosing, and testing your gear.
And SPAAACING your rolls.
Everyone thinks of their gut as just another set of organs...
It is in fact its own nervous system. An extension of the BRAIN!
Or rather the brain is an extension of the gut.
Seriously.
