> That's serious. Thanks for your reply. I knew the warnings, but I asked b/c I had met someone who said she had done ecstacy while taking an MAOI and didn't experience any negative effects. She said that as long as it was pure mdma and not speed, then the risks weren't nearly as high.

Do you really want to take a chance at death just to get high on X? Furthermore, the MAOI that your friend was on may not even be affecting serotonin (i.e. selegeline affects dopamine) and FINALLY, it seems that you unaware of whether it is reversible or irreversible. Mixing an MAOI with MDMA has got to be the most dangerous thing I have ever heard--mixing an MAOI with speed IS done infrequently with VERY careful doctor monitoring, but MAOI and MDMA is a ridiculous notion. It scares me that someone would even conjure up a plan such as this.Rick
*I apologize for being so uptight about this, but you are playing with a loaded gun here. Not to mention the fact that your friend's drug use might have something to do with her need to be on an MAOI in the first place.
