Morgan,
See below for my responses...
> Wow, do you think it is possible aminoguanidine interacted badly with Parnate or SAMe or something else you were taking? That would really suck if a supplement was the trigger that pushed you into a really bad state.
Yes, I definitely think it's possible that the aminoguanidine that I took may have interacted with the Parnate and/or SAMe that I was taking to permanently alter my brain chemistry. The aminoguanidine may not have had the effect that it had (assuming that I'm correct in thinking that my cognitive impairment and psychosis were triggered by aminoguanidine use) if I had taken it alone, but I do think that adding it to the Parnate/SAMe combo is what set things off. I could be wrong, though.
> So are you still interested in life extension? Are you a member of Imminst? I'm thinking maybe I remember your name over there. Maybe not.
Although I find life extension to be a fascinating topic and have browsed the Imminst.org forums before, I wouldn't say that I have the same interest in life extension as some others who I've encountered on Internet discussion forums. I basically took aminoguanidine because I thought that inhibiting nitric oxide synthase might turn back some of the permanent effects that I was experiencing (the tremor and agitation, to be specific) after having taken lithium. At the time, taking aminoguanidine seemed like such a good idea, but obviously it seems like a pretty bone-headed move now. Anyway, I'm not a member of Imminst, but maybe one day I'll create an account and do some posting over there.
I hope you have a good day,
Tomatheus
