I'm interested because you seem to have a euphoria that is not average... indeed if it were I think the drug would be pulled off the market by now?I consumed a lot! I cannot quantify it other than saying a lot. Euphoria is quite common to Nardil. But the euphoria isn't pathological. It is pleasent and motivating, but doesn't induce deleterious behaviour. Although euphoria is commonly listed as a s/effect....

The caffeine in the chocolate can diffuse through the Blood Brain Barrier, but with regars to augmenting the neurotransmitters you speak off, I find it highly unlikely.
> I am interested as I am on Parnate and am thinking of trying to make it more nice, not just merely energising, so am going to try to eat lotsa dark dark chocolate to see what happens.I really doubt much will happen, but give it a go! I would look at augmenting if you want a more robust effect.
