St.Johns Wort, Piracetam, or 5htp

[mj1945]

Well I recently took a 6 month break thinking it would do something to my tolerance but it did absolutely nothing. My buddies got way higher off one cap than I did off the two I took. It makes no sense because this is my longest break ever and it was also my worst/weakest roll yet. I also work out 6 times a week, eat tons of food high in tryptophan and still barely felt the mdma. It was about a year and a half ago my mdma abuse started and even when I was rolling weekly I'd roll way harder. The only thing that came from the break was less of a comedown, the comeup was so weak I can't even put it into words.

So I'm thinking one of these supplements might help. I say 5htp because with the foods I eat I should have super high levels in serotonin unless my body is having troubles converting to it. I've done some research on the other two but I'm not sure which one would be better bang for my buck. I'm basically looking for whatever supplement which will help me with my problem the most, some first hand accounts would be greatly appreciated.

are you taking other drugs? are you on medications like SSRIs (anti-depressants)?

i know people who swear by piracetam, but i am not sure how it reacts with taking ecstasy. i have had unpleasant results from combining st. johns wort and ecstasy--maybe that was just me, but i had a weird reaction to pre/post loading with it.

its not really known how effective taking 5-HTP is with ecstasy. i used to do it for a while but it wasnt enough of an effect to rule out placebo effect. i would take 5-HTP for about a week or so before i was going to trip, then take a couple once i came down from the roll. some people "pre-load" the 5-HTP right before they take the MDMA, but i have heard that it actually takes away from how hard the ecstasy hits you. of course nothing is really known about all this, its all anecdotal conjecture.

5-HTP might be worth a try, but keep in mind everyones chemistry is totally different. some people are just "hard-headed" with some drugs, and some are more sensitive than others. i am pretty sensitive to psychedelics like LSD and mushrooms, but have a natural tolerance to phenelthylamines like MDMA, MDA, 2C-B, etc.

I did dxm a few times in that 6 months and shrooms once but nothing else except drinking. Not on any medications either. My city doesn't really get many big name djs but Madeon is coming in a month so I wanna roll for that. I'm not even expecting the magic to fully come back because I could see myself taking a break for years and getting the same result. I just want some more intensity back, or to roll really hard without taking a stupid high dose.

I wasn't planning on pre-loading, just planning on taking one of the two for about 2 or 3 weeks then stay off a week before the show. Maybe they could do a little rewiring or just help that all the good food I've been eating and exercise hasn't done. Can't hurt to try I geuss.
