> Apparently E doesn't work when you are on SSRI's, though perhaps if you missed a dose it might. I have heard of people taking Prozac after ectasy as it is supposed to protect the brain or something.
The deal is, taking Prozac (or any SRRI, really) 6 hours after using ecstasy, will block dopamine from being sucked up by serotonergic reuptake pumps and thus prevent the conversion of dopamine to hydrogen peroxide by MAO-A. So, any damage that would have hypothetically occured from the result of hydrogen peroxide in the brain, doesn't occur.
