And by that SWIM means, something that is good and plentyful,so SWIM dont have to starve Himself ?
SWIM read plenty on the subject ,but SWIM want to know what the nexians eat before , while and after taking MAOI ?
 
Technically the alkaloids from caapi and rue are Rverse Inhibitors of Monoamine Oxidase (RIMAs) so diet isn't nearly as big a deal as with MAOIs (I'm assuming your post has to do with harmala alkaloids and not pharmaceutical MAOIs). I still wouldn't load up on junky, overly fatty/sugary, or tyramine-rich foods, but you can eat just about anything while on these substances with no adverse effects, ime. Fruit is awesome, especially berries and citrus.

Swim is not talking about pharmaz.But what is there that can fill someone up without putting that person at risk ?
 
As snozzle said, if you are talking about caapi or rue, no food will really put you at risk, because the tyramine, the culprit for problematic food interaction with pharmaceutical MAOI, is metabolized by a MAOI that is not (or very little) affected by harmala MAOIs.

Regardless of the MAOI story, with any psychedelic, it is recommended that you eat lightly, whether its before or after the trip.
 
You should be fine to eat anything. These substances are RIMAs so the issues that exist between MAOIs and tyramine-containing foods don't apply. Granted, if you ingest a ton of tyramine, you may get unpleasant side effects like headaches or hypertension, but you should be able to eat a healthy home-cooked meal with no problems.
 
SWIM eats everything there is. He always eats right after taking ayahuasca or pharmahausca before the effects begin. This helps jump start the trip and helps to avoid nausea for SWIM.

Pizza with extra cheese is his favorite. He's had this many times right after and during a trip and never experienced anything out of the ordinary.

Things to avoid on SWIM's list: ALCOHOL, and most other drugs. Alcohol is a vasodilator and so are the RIMAs (THH, harmaline, harmine), and their combined effect will cause too much vasodilation which will cause a headache. Drugs like coffee are not really dangerous, but the effects of the caffeine are increased. Other drugs may be dangerous to mix with RIMAs.


If you’re absolutely paranoid about food with tyramine in it. Pizza contains a lot of tyramine, and SWIM eats that all the time. So avoid pizza, and anything with aged cheese. There are several other things to avoid. But honestly, these food restrictions don’t really apply to RIMAs, but do apply to other kinds of MAOI compounds.
 
Thanks for your help ,Swim had this misconception that if he eats certain kinds of food with Riaaz he would die, and SWIM always stressed about it.
 
Hello Nexus, i know the thread is old but my question would fit into the scope. So my question is how long do you usually wait after taken Harmals until you

1. drink alcohol (moderately)
2. drink alcohol (heavily)
3. take 5-HTP
4. take Mescaline
5. do MDMA

I would appreciate answers based on experience. Thank you.
