> Look into "kindling". Kindling might be operating as the result of the overactivity of certain neural pathways (perhaps glutamatergic) that produce severe side effects. Kindling would account very nicely for subsequent hypersensitivity to these drugs with regard to side effects.
I just remembered - in another thread bleauberry was speculating that a large dose of MSG in a Chinese meal may have amplified the effects of some 5-HTP I took. But bleau says this would point to REDUCED glutamate function rather than overactivity.
What would this tell us in the light of your theory above?
Either way, it looks like glutamate function could be a factor in why I've been feeling so screwed up over the past 8 months, so I'd really appreciate any pointers you can give me Scott!
