I have read a bunch of threads about the safety of exctasy and effexor xr and the possible complications such as seritonin syndrome. I have also heard sometimes it stops the MDMA from working almost completly. I myself experienced this. I have never read any threads about a strategy that I think might work. I'm wondering if this makes sense scientifically.
My question is can I stop taking effexor a day and a half before taking the E? I am hoping that the massive release of serotonin/dopamine will prevent the withdrawl symptoms associated. For anyone that doesnt know stopping effexor suddenly can cause severe withdrawl symptoms. I have forgotten to take it in the past and the withdrawl symptoms for me usually dont set in until close to two days after missing.
I have taken effexor xr and extacy before and felt almost nothing happen.
I want this to be the best concert of my life. You know, have one of those experiences that everyone talks about. The exctasy not working is my main concern because it seems stupid to go through all the risk of mixing and have nothing happen.
Strategy:
Im taking it for a concert and would have 3 effexor xr in my pocket.
Step 1: I would probably take the MDMA/Exctasy around 7:30PM.
Step 2: Right after the encore around 11PM I would pop one 75mg effexor pill.
Step 3: I would then pop the other two in two hour increments of 1AM and 3AM.
Step 4:The next day I would take my regular dose of 225mg effexor xr at around 1-2PM like usual.
Since effexor has such a short half life the levels should have started to fall dramatically by 730PM night of the concert thus reducing seritonin syndrome risk but more importantly allow me to feel the full effects of the exctasy. Taking the effexor after the concert in three hour increments should help reduce the neurotoxicity and at the same time reduce the chances of serotonin syndrome . The X should be mostly out of my system by 3AM.
From my past experience there is at least 24 hours between missing a dose of effexor xr and withdrawl symptoms.
What do you guys think of this plan? Are there any flaws in it?
