DMT "Surges" an Affect of MAOIs?
Up until a few weeks ago when I intramuscularly injected DMT in combination with an MAOI, I believed the surges I experienced with ayahuasca—where the trip suddenly increases in intensity for a few minutes before receding again (and repeats)—were due to the liquid ayahuasca mixture rounding a new corner of the intestines and being more quickly absorbed by an “unsaturated” tract of the gut (or random gallbladder excretion). This was corroborated by two telling observations. Firstly I noticed surges occurring when I turned over and lay on my opposite side while tripping, an act that I guessed to coat a new length of intestinal tract with DMT by force of gravity. And secondly, in my non-MAOI trials with DMT intramuscularly, the experience was very even and predictable, suggesting that the smoother trip was indeed due to the more constant and predictable DMT blood concentration one would expect more from IM administration over oral/MAOI.
This conclusion was contradicted however by a recent, difficult and physically taxing, trial with DMT (IM) in conjunction with syrian rue where the surging was so powerful it was fully incapacitating (hope to have a report soon). I suspect that the surging phenomenon is due to an interaction with an MAOI, but I can’t really say for sure from one experience. Do most of you who consume DMT orally with an MAOI experience these surges? If yes, have you noticed differences in the intensity of the surging between different MAOIs? Have any of you experienced intense surges from insufflated or injected doses or used MAOIs in conjunction with these routes of administration? What were the differences if any?
