Heh. Sorry about that semi-spam topic, meta. I have here a more important question.

I recently (6 days ago) took AMT. I have read in several places (TIHKAL and EROWID) that AMT -may- function as an MAOI.

I have also read that MAOI's should NOT under ANY circumstances be combined with DXM.

So, my question is: is AMT an actual MAOI or does it just mimic one? Does this matter when taking DXM?
*wait, that was 2 questions. oh well.*

thanks a lot. I think this is valuable information anyway.

I suggest you check out this link http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/amt/amt.shtml
it most likly has the info you are looking for.

Being as this is an amnesty day, I won't say nothing but: When you do research you really should read what's there.

Just to double check myself, I did some reasearch of my own and at TiHKAL [which I entered theough Eroeid] I found the following:

"Both the alpha-methylated tryptamine (AMT) and the alpha-ethylated homologue (AET) were found to be effective monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and both were clinically studied as potential antidepressants"

This was found in under 30 seconds of research: I ain't that good.

So, to be certain.

The answer is: Yes, AMT is a maoi.

Where the hell do you get AMT???? Mood lift, smiling... plateau from 4-7 hours??? Sweet! But where the hell do you get the stuff?
