DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

Ecstasy is the only psychedelic I've used which leaves me feeling any less
than perfect the next day, and this experience seems to be common among
most users of ecstasy. Based on this, I suspect that ecstasy is not the most
benign substance to take into one's body, and I've reduced my consumption
to an infrequent basis.
There have been a few cases of people who died from heat stroke following
the use of ecstasy in dance clubs. They became dehydrated after dancing for
hours without drinking any fluids. Although this is rare, it's a reminder for
one to pay attention to their body's basic needs while using ecstasy or any
other substance.
I've read numerous clinical articles on ecstasy. There does not appear to be
conclusive evidence one way or the other as to whether it causes any type of
damage to humans, or whether any potential damage caused is permanent or
reversible. However, many who are concerned with safe use have gleaned
suggestions from these articles.
Although large doses of ecstasy produced some neurotoxicity 1 in lab
animals, damage was significantly less to non-existent with a smaller dose
(equivalent to 100-150 mg. for most humans.) Other experiments showed
that a single dose of Prozac (a prescription anti-depressant drug) will
completely block the neurotoxic effects ecstasy can produce in lab animals.
The Prozac can be taken up to six hours after the ecstasy. I've taken Prozac
toward the end of about 20 X trips, and in most cases I've felt better the next
day than I normally do after taking ecstasy alone. Prozac is considered a
controversial drug. Some of the people to whom it was prescribed on a
regular basis claim it gave them suicidal tendencies. Apparently a small
percentage of the people who try Prozac have some type of negative mental
reaction. Several people I know have first tried Prozac by itself, to see what
their reaction to it is, before taking it at the end of an ecstasy trip.
As mentioned above, taking ecstasy without Prozac, especially multiple
doses, has a tendency to give one a hangover the next day. This can leave
one feeling physically drained and mentally frizzled. One's chances of
feeling bad the next day can be greatly reduced by taking just a single dose
of X. Another method of reducing or eliminating this hangover is to take
amino acids such as DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) or other neurotransmitter
precursors prior to and after ingesting the ecstasy. These nutrients are
available from health food and vitamin stores and are frequently included in
"smart drinks." I've also read that all of the phenethylamine drugs produce
free radicals, and that taking anti-oxidant formulas, also available at most
