Ibogaine and brain glutamate ?
I;d have to do some searching but everything i remember reading is DO NOT MIX IBOGAINE WITH MAOI
Interesting that I had just seen this the other day and just posted it in goatboy's newest thread. I am no scientist, so I am still trying to figure out what all of this means, maybe you could make something of it.... I know you would understand it more than I would, but it is specifically talking about Glutamate. Maybe your expertise would be able to help us understand a bit better??? http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/5629307.html
my expertise has troubl follow cooking recipes but i this is great and i did send it off to two seperate Dr's to evaluate it MIGHT prove just the opposite of my concerns thanks jbg
Ketamine does http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/10/121004141747.htm My guess would be yes because ibogaine is also a dissociative psychedelic and shows more promise for mental health.
RE: MAOI and racepam nootropics (noopept and piractam) i received this reply from someone who is more techno smart than I "The British National Formulary makes no mention of adverse interactions of piracetam and MAOIs; renal impairment and treatment with the anticoagulant wasrfarin are mentioned as being hazardous. Piracetam is licensed in the UK as an adjunct in the treatment of myoclonus of cortical origin, which kind of makes sense when you consider the structural similarities betweden this and GABA."
Since I'm just curious and don't recall the answer to this, are MAOIs proven safe or not safe with flooding and such? I haven't seen anything saying to avoid them specifically but it does interact with a good amount of medicines, including a similar pysch causing an overflow of serotonin which seems like it could cause a very unpleasant experience. I wouldn't be surprised if it was much better than SSRIs, but since I don't know, I'm still skeptical how safe it is. And do you or anyone have any experience or further knowledge about taking Piracetam? Sounds kind of interesting.. I've never heard of that one till now but don't know much about it besides looking at a google search or 2 of it briefly..
Thanks JBG! I am very curious to know what your Dr. friends have to say. roxine
