I am sensitive to RIMAs. On two occasions i have received powerful headaches from them.
For this reason i have all but sworn off the rue, and im not sure i feel safe with isolated harmaloids anymore.
A while back while camping i did changa ( passionflower changa, with a bit of damiana ) that was pretty saturated with harmaloids i had extracted from syrian rue. We did this on and off for a week, never more than 2 bowls in a day, probably consecutively for a couple days. This is not my normal level of use...we were camping, it was a beautiful place, i felt the call.
Anyway, i was stupid. ~4 days in i got a splitting headache after most likely eating some of our camping food which had tyramine in it. This instance wasnt so bad. I would have thought it was just a normal headache if i hadnt had one before...
When i first discovered DMT, i consumed rue seeds and smoked it consecutively for probably 5-6 days once. This was not a breakthrough dosage. However, after some physical exertion i experienced, eventually, a huge, quick-onset migraine that totally immobilized me. I was writhing in my bed, in a huge amount of pain. Im pretty sure i didnt experience migraine blindness from it but its possible. For a month after i had trouble exerting myself without getting a headache. I couldn't do jumping jacks, walk up stairs too long, ETC.
I didnt realize what it was initially. Went to the doctor, got prescribed medication.
Really, only caffeine fixed it. That pointed, to me, to the problem being vasoconstriction, because caffeine is a vasodilator. Then i realized it was the RIMAs.
It's been a year since then. I feel mostly the same, and i havent had a headache from rue besides those instances.
Thats not something smart to do up there, but RIMAs are safe for most people with careful use. But the reason i am posting this is because i have a question. Does anyone know if i could have gotten brain damage? I dont feel as if i have, but im really worried about it...
