as many of you may know, when taking an MAOI there are alot of restrictions as to what kinds of foods you can eat and/or what kinds of drugs you can combine. well, this question goes out to those of you who have experience with MAOI's or those who have done alot of research and know alot of information. tomorrow (saturday), i had planned to do morning glories and syrian rue while out with some friends. syrian rue is a powerful MAOI. here's the problem...this morning (friday) at about 8:30am i took 30mg of adderall XR which is one of those drugs that cannot be combined with an MAOI. i did a little research on the two and on an adderall site it said "to not take adderall if currently using or recently used an MAOI. this could result in anything from a headache, to high blood pressure, to a seizure, to a coma." so my question is, would i be able to still do the syrian rue tomorrow around 10:30am-ish? i mean thats over 24 hours later and adderall only has a half life of about 11 hours. i also drank 2 liters of water tonight to help get some out of my system. any information is appreciated thanks =p
I don't know about the adderall with syrian rue, but I wouldn't risk it. I'm assuming you observe a strict MAOI diet over the past few days, restricting yourself from foods with tyramine? Also, I assume you intend on observing this diet for a few days after the trip?
Do you mean it's actual half-life is 11 hours? Most people don't know what a half-life is. I have never heard of a half-life inside a human body, then again I don't learn about substances being broken down inside a human body in chemistry.
I really wouldn't risk taking the rue until a few days after the adderall. MAOI contraindications can be fatal dude, so it's worth waiting a few more days. Just be sure to stay away from foods with any noticable tyramine content, especially fermented foods and beer. I know I already mentioned tyramine restrictions, but it really is important. Like I said, it can be dangerous/fatal with harmaline, even days later.
It's worth it if you do it right. Syrian rue seeds(harmaline) cause your body to metabolize and break down drugs in a way that makes their effects stronger. They are even decently psychedelic when you use them alone. They're nasty as fuck though and will almost always make you vomit. lol
