About Rolling

MDMA speeds up serotonin and dopamine release and use. you get high serotonin runs out dopamine goes where serotonin normally would. oxidized dopamine molecules cause damage to nerves. The higher your serotonin levels are before you Roll,

the less dopamine will become oxidized. The less dopamine in your system the less the chance of

oxidized dopamine forming.

Warnings

I do not advise taking this supplement before rolling. It will increase dopamine production in your body. While rolling dopamine becomes oxidized, oxidized dopamine is what causes the neurotoxicity of MDMA. More oxidized dopamine in your system increases the risk of nerve (receptor) damage.

Important Terms

Serotonin (neurotransmitter)

5-HT Serotonin is normally involved in temperature regulation, sensory perception, and mood control It also plays a major role in emotional disorders such as depression, suicide, impulsive behavior, and aggression.

Rolling Effect

Good mood, empathic, mushy effects

Low Serotonin Symptoms

craving of sugar and other carbohydrates, bouts of depression, frequent headaches, and vague muscle aches and pain.

Dopamine (neurotransmitter) As a chemical messenger, dopamine is similar to adrenaline. Dopamine affects brain processes that control movement, emotional response, and ability to experience pleasure and pain.

Rolling Effect

Rushy, body buzz, speedy effects

Oxidized Dopamine (neurotransmitter) "The Enemy" normally these guys pose no threat to a healthy body, but with the introduction of MDMA into the equation things can get a little backwards. Resulting in confused Oxidized Dopamine trying to replace serotonin, and causing a bit of nerve damage in the process. Loads of Vitamin C in the system will clean these guys up before they can cause any damage. Oxidized Dopamine is created by an enzyme named monoamine oxidase (MAO), it breaks down dopamine in a natural process essential for your body to operate.







Norepinephrine (neurotransmitter) Also called noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter that doubles part-time as a hormone. As a neurotransmitter, norepinephrine helps to regulate arousal, dreaming, and moods. As a hormone, it acts to increase blood pressure, constrict blood vessels and increase heart rate - responses that occur when we feel stress.

Glutamate and GABA (Amino Acid)

gamma-amino butyric acid Amino acids that act as neurotransmitters. The majority of synapses within the brain use glutamate or GABA. They also have other functions in the body such as making energy-rich molecules in cells.

Levodopa

Neurotransmitter Neurotransmitters are chemicals which are released into the synaptic space whenever a neuron conducts an action potential to the axon terminals. There are perhaps 100 or so different neurotransmitter varieties in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin.

Melatonin a natural hormone that regulates the human biological clock. excess of this hormone can make you sleepy.

FDA RDA (Federal Drug Administration Recommended Daily Allowance) The minimum dosage that you require per day, to ward off serious deficiency of this particular nutrient. In the therapeutic use of this nutrient, the dosage is usually increased considerably, but the toxicity level must be kept in mind.

Grapefruit Juice Why grapefruit juice? A compound found in grapefruit juice (6,7-dihydroxybergamottin) inhibits enzymes that metabolize drugs in humans. Most supplements are not absorbed by the body and merely washed through with other wastes. If you can increase the bioavailability of all the supplements you are taking you will get more bang for your buck, this includes MDMA.

Amino acids The building blocks of protein. Twenty amino acids are needed to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Eleven of these amino acids can be made by the body itself, while the other nine (called essential amino acids) must come from the diet. The classification of an amino acid as essential or nonessential does not reflect its importance, because all twenty amino acids are necessary for health. Instead, this classification system simply reflects whether or not the body is capable of manufacturing a particular amino acid.

In Summary

The grapefruit juice is a key ingredient. while i hate the taste of it, it's the only way to get that compound. basically what it's doing is preventing your body from flushing out the excess of the other things you're taking (but not using just yet). Then when you drop, you have the things you need in abundance to help minimize damage -- like the Vitamin C and extra Seratonin. you also want to space the vitamins out as described b/c they work together and again, too much excess you're more likely to flush them out. this way there's more chance of them staying in you as you go to the bathroom throughout the day. You take the vitamin B-6, 5-HTP and vitamin C at night before going to bed for the following reasons: first of all your brain does most of it's repairs at night while sleeping. 5HTP would fall in this category. B6 is needed for 5HTP to become Seratonin. Vitamin C tends to give me the poopies *blush* if i have too much since it's so acidic (ie. too much orange juice or whatever), so if i take it at night, it seems to "stick" better with me. So why do all this? well my friend, the short answer is this: i find that my rolls are much better. more intense, last longer, more euphoric (thanks to DLPA), all that good stuff. it helps to minimize brain damage in theory ;-), and my recovery day (the day after) is minimal. i am usually quite functioning, but just either tired from lack of sleep, or body sore from dancing so much. but mentally, i'm not depressed or anything. i say "usually". i sometimes sit and zone/stare off at the tv, but i'm not depressed, just apathetic. if my friends come get me or whatever, i'm find to hang out. You can get all this stuff at any vitamin store. it's all legal and has uses for other things. the initial expence is a bit steep -- maybe $100, but each bottle is a different size/quantity, so you won't be buying them all, all the time. you'll use them up at different rates, so it isn't such a hit. then again, what's a hundred bucks or so to help protect your health and your brain is the way i see it!? if you wanna play with the big boys, you gotta ante up right. ;-)

Adendum

Since this writing, I have read a bit more, and the book "Ecstasy: Dance Drance & Transformation" (by Nicholas Saunders with Rick Doblin) on pg. 72 states: "Free radicals are formed by the redox cycling of MDMA in the brain. Excessive quantities may cause oxidative damage, but this could be avoided by taking antioxidant supplements. The suggested dose for prevention is 2-4 gm Vitamin C, 1000 IU Vitamin E, 5mg beta-carotene, 2gm bioflavonoids, 1gm L-cartinine, 2gm N-acetylcysteine, and 25 mcg Selenium. For treatemnt, three times this dose is recommended." -- Nutrients for blocking phenethylamine damage by Dr. Brian Leibovits, in MAPS Newsletter, Spring 1993. Another link I found is this one that has some overlap, and some differences. I've yet to try it, but perhaps I will soon. I know others that try it and swear by it. And this one seems to be pretty informative
