does anyone have any experience taking it (small dose) during the onset of an lsd trip?
I've done that with ketamine. If the dose is low, personally I think it might be a good idea as it helps ease into the trip nicely and the NMDA antagonist properties will mean less glutamate in the brain to cause stress during the trip.
The difference with MXE vs K is the stimulation combined with a drastic mood lift which could be a bit 'panicky' for some people.
It could be an interesting experiment, but not one I'd do myself without a benzo around.

As for the perception of sound, I noticed the last time while on MXE my tinnitus was greatly improved. For a while I couldn't even notice it.
Since K is theorized to help with chronic pain by 're-booting' aberrant brain activity, I wonder if it could help with tinnitus too, (as that has to do with hair follicle cells which have been damaged so they constantly send a signal)?

As for the anti-depressant properties, last night after smoking some weed I felt this veil come from the back of my head over my frontal lobes filled with stress, pressure, negativity and pain. It was the depression that MXE had eliminated almost a week prior.
I thought to myself, 'I don't know how I lived with this and I don't want it back' and luckily after 20-30 minutes it went away again which was a relief.
This whole last week I've been like a new person and while the physical, pharmacological basis for my depression was eliminated by the MXE, I realize it will still take some to learn new positive habits and ways of interacting with people. The response I'm noticing from other people makes it easier though.
Tomorrow will be a very long day for me, filled with plenty of opportunities for stress, or to practice new behaviors.
Depending on how I feel over the next few days I'll probably medicate with a 25mg dose and I think eventually by having a more positive outlook I'll get to the point where I won't need MXE anymore.
Years ago I had 5 heavy ayahuasca trips in 8 days in the amazon and while that helped with my depression, MXE has worked better and I didn't need to go through hell for the results...
