  1. Oh yea. Take a look at this

    Avoid the following foods while taking an MAOI:

    aged cheese (cream cheese and cottage cheese are okay)

    alcohol (especially beer and wine)

    avocados

    bananas

    beef or chicken liver

    caffeinated beverages

    canned meats

    chocolate

    dry sausages

    eggplant

    fava beans

    figs

    gravies that are preprocessed

    green bean pods

    homemade breads

    Italian broad beans

    liver

    orange pulp

    pickled or smoked fish, poultry or meats

    raisins

    red plums

    salami

    soups (packaged or soup cubes)

    sour cream

    soy sauce

    spinach

    tomatoes

    yogurt

  2. Well. In short form.

    There are different types of antidepressants.

    SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors).

    (Prozac, Paxil, Celexa)

    They block seratonin from going back into the vesicle. (where the seratonin is stored). What happens if you are on an SSRI is that when the MDxx enters your blood stream, it will try to get into the vesicles to force the release of seratonin. The SSRI is blocking the uptake of the MDxx (that is its job) so you don't really feel a rush, depending on the dosage of the medicine you might feel something but nothing like you would if you weren't on it at all. It is basically 'safe' to take E while you are on an SSRI. My girl stopped taking her Celexa on a Tuesday and she didn't roll at all on Saturday. The drug was still working in her system.

    MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors).

    (Marplan, Nardil, Parnate)

    There is a protein that is responsible for breaking down seratonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. This is a normal process in the brain. However people that are diagnosed as depressed are believe to have low seratonin counts. The purpose of a MAOI is to basically stop the breaking down of those neurotransmiters. They are not blocking the uptake of MDxx. When someone takes MDxx and they are not on MAOI's the body will break down the seratonin and you get the 'coming down' feeling. When you take MDxx when you are on a MAOI the body doesn't stop the uptake of the MDxx, which is the desired effect. However the seratonin doesn't get broken down. This can cause a condition called seratonin syndrome. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome include nausea, vomiting, blackouts, memory loss, increased blood pressure and increased heart rate. Not good.

    MAOI's can be dangerous when taken with certain food / or other medications (cough medicine w/ dxm for example)

    I believe the dawson's creek you are talking about, the girl was taking Nardil. whoopsie!

    The dancesafe slideshow shows about SSRI's however it doesn't show the effect of an MAOI and MDxx.

    NOTE: I am not a doctor nor do I pretend to be. I have spent quite a while research this stuff because I was concerned about my girlfriend doing 'E' while she was on an antidepressant.

    Hope that was enough to tease you. There is enough info on the internet to read about this stuff if I didn't post enough information.

  3. awww damn. I'm taking a much deserved break until july. CPI last week was great. I have VIP card and my ass should be there every week. frown.gif

    Ah well. Like I've always said. Everytime I've gone to hear Jason, I've had a great time.

  4. It was talking about the Jersey shore and the outbreak of E there. Alot of the stories they were talking about took place in the summer of 1999. Had on a doctor claiming that it raises body temp so high. I can't watch these specials anymore. Misinformation is running rampant. They mentioned PMA once in the special but still claimed that mdma can cause the body to have temps of over 108.

  5. How were the officers supposed to know they were plastic? You see something getting tossed at you, are you going to wait for it to drop and say 'Oh, its just plastic. They are playing around, let's leave them alone'

    I'm not too familiar with what happened this year so I really cant comment on anything specific. Mix a little alcohol with hostile feelings toward police and lets see what happens.
