> 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.
So your saying that an SSRI, 5-HTP, Alpha Lipic acid (for the damaging free radicals) & Vitamins will not afford enough protection against the neurotoxic effects of e.Because on a lot of Dance web-sites, this is what they recommend.
