PEA has a very short half life (minuates I believe), however I am under the impression that high concentrations can be neurotoxic. Not to mention makeing some people very nervous and paranoid.
Anyhow, I certainly notice that when exercising on parnate I would start to feel very strange.
I mean, I normally get a boost from exercise, but this was unreal. 20 minautes into exercise and I felt like I was entering an altranate dimention. Stuff was "larger than life", I felt like I was in a movie. Everything was looming about me, it was all very mystical and otherworldy, like perhaps this was 100 years ago, or maybe in the future. I saw that stopsign on my street one thousand times yet this time it looked different, like I had never-ever seen it before. It was scary. I wondered how I could have lived so long and yet not noticed all these things. I began to doubt everything I knew, perhaps if I was so wrong about the environment that I was wrong about everything else. I slept very little on parnate. Probably no REM sleep at all. Things were definatey not boring on Parnate, but that was the problem. I wanted boring back. I wanted it back bad. The sewer drain was very eerie. Perhaps there was a ninja turtle living down there. This presense of God became overwhelming. Every little lie I had ever told anybody in my whole entire life started to come to the forefront of my contiousness. The guilt was overwhelming. I felt I had no option but to make the wrong right. I had to confess such lies, there was no other way past them. God stared at every one of my wrongdoings, he wouldn't stop staring. It was scarry as hell.
Where am I going with this? I don't know, but MAOI's are powerfull sh*t. Perhaps those receptors would have downregulated, but I can tell you that after I discontinued parnate I experienced a euphoria like I had never known. I felt "absolved" of my sins. This dark scary place melted away.
I realized that I experienced a full blown psychotic episode while on parnate. An experience that was unparalled before or since. There is a reason that my brain is metabolizing those trace amines. Its because they are very psychoactive.
Bottom line, be carefull.Sorry for rambling.
