I don't know what the dangers are, but look at what happens when substitued PEA's like MDMA are combined with MAOIs. Hyperpyrexic crisis I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I doubt chocolate 'buzz' has anything to do with its PEA content. Seems you must inhibit the MAO-B to allow it to reach & pass the BBB. Of course PEA made WITHIN the brain does have an effect, supposedly that 'falling in love' feeling.

Hi teck,

Cool, I never knew you could buy PEA. Yes, I'm a big Shulgin fan, and own a copy of pihkal. I think there's some promise to substituted phenethylamines and depression. Actually, Effexor is essentially a substituted PEA I believe. Very interesting stuff. Shulgin made and tested some substituted PEA's that seemed antidepressant but lacking in psychedelic properties. I'm not sure if any of these were developed further.

I don't know how PEA would interact with an MAOI though. It's a calculated risk. I guess you could try starting with VERY small amounts and giving yourself a break between trials. (You would still technically risk serotonin syndrome though) Interesting concept though.
