Harm Reduction Took 300 mg St. Johns Wort Extract with 30 mg MDMA/MDA...will I be OK?

[Changa707]

Hi everyone, I took 300 mg St. Johns Wort Extract at about noon today (so 8 hours ago)....since then I have taken 60 mg codeine, 900 mg paracetamol, hashish, 600 mg gabapentin, and 50 mg diphenhydramine...which I took along with the st. johns wort earlier. But I took the MDMA/MDA just now...though I believe that st.johns wort has a rather long duration of action, right?

Just 15 minutes ago I took about 25-30 mg MDMA/MDA powder...I am feeling pretty nice right now, but just started thinking about the fact that St. Johns Wort is a mild MAOI...and I don't want to end up with serotonin syndrome. At what point should I seek medical attention, because I will not hesitate to do so if need be...but I would prefer not because at the moment I do not have health insurance. However, because the dosages are so small here and St. Johns wort is only a mild MAOI...I think i'll be alright.

Any thoughts on this?

Hey everyone, just checking back in here to say i'm doing fine and haven't noticed any negative symptoms so far. It seems that either the MAOI action of st johns wort is exagerrated on many online forums, or it could be that I simply didn't take enough MDMA/MDA to cause problems.

However, I will admit that St. Johns Wort seems to potentiate codeine and/or gabapentin. I only took about 60 mg of Codeine with the St. Johns Wort and it feels like the high was stronger and longer lasting. In the future I will experiment with more St. Johns Wort...but I am also going to try and avoid mixing MAOIs (however weak) with serotonin releasing substances like MDMA/MDA.
