So wait, I thought aMT was dangerous in combo with MDMA because of its MAOI properties? But if it has the same MAOI activity as amphetamine... amph is taken in combo with MDMA all the time, often MDMA is cut with amph on the streets, I've never heard of any problems with the combination of the two. Do you think you could clarify that for me at all? Much thanks.
From what I've gathered, the weak MAOI issue is a concern, but I think the bigger danger of combining them is not knowing how much aMT added to MDMA is similar in serotonin releasing capacity to "x" milligrams more MDMA. So, purely for illustration purposes, someone might think "well, 35 mg of aMT feels about like 125 mg MDMA to me, and so 125 mg of MDMA plus 35 mg of aMT will give us an experience similar to either 250 mg of MDMA or 70 mg aMT. Yeah we've handled those doses of both fine before." But then, when they take it, there's a synergistic interaction in serotonin releasing capacity (the effectiveness is more than the some of its parts), that little calculation they did doesn't live up to the linear logic, and they and their girlfriend spend a few hours virtually paralyzed, fading in and out of consciousness in a puddle of their sweat and vomit on the floor of a hot sandy tent while staring into each others' tearful eyes stammering "I love you.. I love you," all the time convinced they're watching each other slowly die (er, something like that -- I remember reading an Erowid report about the combo to that effect).
I think there's a similar fuzzy interaction gradient problem with any of these new triple monoamine releasers (mephedrone, 6-APB, 4-FA, etc.). Maybe your dosing logic will work, maybe it won't. I know personally that combining aMT and 4-FA was way more powerful than I imagined from "adding up" the subjective intensity of each dose I took alone. Thankfully I had played it safe and kept the initial doses of each low (and it was fucking awesome!!, heh.... heh..yeah). Some people have even combined selegiline (MAO-B inhibitor) with MDMA and lived. After combining that one with phenethylamine (the most common combination with selegiline) out of sheer curiosity, feeling my pulse in my face, and seeing a web of red blotches form on my shoulders and neck I would never even entertain the notion of that again, or recommend it (even if others have been fine). It's like Erowid says, everyone reacts different.
