I began to supplement with the 5-HTP about 5 hours prior to taking the MDMA. I took the pills at a rate of about 1 pill every half hour, beginning around 3 PM. I skipped dinner (which is always a good idea when using psychoactives) and drank two glasses of purified spring water along with another 500mg of 5-HTP. My total intake of 5-HTP was approximately 1 gram. Some proponents of preloading suggest a dosage between 200 and 500mg. I will try this smaller dosage next time, since 5-HTP is so expensive.
By 7 PM I was feeling very strange. I do not know if this was due to the incredible dose of 5-HTP, or simply because I hadn't slept well the previous night. It was by no means a pleasant feeling, and I do not suggest that people try to get high on 5-HTP alone. Perhaps this is what a tremendous serotonin buildup feels like.
It was around 8 PM that I finally took the pill, which was small, blue, and had a Nike emblem imprinted on it. I had taken the same pills before, and I knew their strength. The pills were not adulterated, and as far as I could tell, contained only MDMA (by comparison with previous experiences where I was certain that the chemical in question was MDMA). I expected the effects to be potentiated, but I did NOT expect the experience that occurred. About 30 minutes after ingesting the pill, I began to feel the roll. My custom is to take a bong hit just as the MDMA is coming on. For me, this seems to potentiate the MDMA and cause the experience to build up more quickly. This is more than likely a purely mental effect. A huge bong hit, and I was coughing like crazy. Several people seemed concerned that I was going to cough my lungs out (it felt that way). I got very nauseous and ran to the bathroom to empty my stomach (which was already empty, thankfully, since I hadn't eaten). I felt brand new after that.
The first evidence of the action of the 5-HTP became very apparent very quickly. I sat on the balcony smoking a cigarette and rubbing my hands together. My jaw was probably dropped, and my eyes were wide the whole time. I was in total astonishment over the power of the 5-HTP to enhance the MDMA experience. I've taken a lot of MDMA over a long period of time, but this experience was exactly like the first. The tactile sensations which which you are all familiar were there, and in force. I hadn't experienced these sensations since the first three or four times I took MDMA, and I was worried (before this experiment, that is) that I would never be able to feel it again. I was wrong. The tactile experience was so intense that I was worried to move around lest I be bombarded with overpowering sensations and fall to the floor, senseless.
alvast bedankt
