In reply to Cipramil for Neurotoxicity of ecstacy ?, posted by Pacha on April 12, 2000, at 14:49:17
> I went to the Doctor to get Prozac for ecstacy Neurotoxicity (but said for depression), but instead of getting Prozac I was given Cipramil (citalopram hydrobromide).

> Administering Prozac (fluoxetine) up to six hours after the MDMA prevents the neurotoxic damage. We know that Prozac plugs the reuptake transporters. Since it prevents the damage even if administered six hours after the MDMA, this indicates that it is not the MDMA per se that causes the damage, but something which enters the reuptake transporters after the serotonin is depleted, most likely dopamine (see the slideshow for more details.) Without the protection of prozac, the damage seems to occur slowly over the course of a 24 hour period.No antidepressant is going to protect you from MDMA. In fact, nothing will protect you from MDMA. The only thing that will protect you from MDMA is to AVOID TAKING MDMA IN THE FIRST PLACE! You sound really stupid. Going to end up frying your brain with MDMA. Dont kid yourself MDMA is very dangerous. Are you prepared to end up with permanently changed brain chemistry? Well, then go ahead and do some MDMA.
If something is bad for you, why do you want to take it? Do things that build you up, not things that tear you down.
