One person also mentioned he took a 1/4 XTC tab(XTC contains tremendeous amounts of Serotonin) and had like 5 LDs in one night,whoa wonder if thats true..[/b]
This is only my second post here, but I thought this needed to be said:
XTC (a.k.a. Ecstasy/MDMA) does not "contain" serotonin, it causes your brain to release stored serotonin in massive quantities. That's the "high" of Ecstasy.
The problem is, releasing so much serotonin in such a short period of time damages the serotonin receptors in your brain, i.e. it makes it harder for you to feel normal and happy each time you do it. It also means your brain has to work extra hard to restore your serotonin levels to normal after doing the drug. So even if it works once or twice, it's not a good plan for LD'ing on a long term basis.
There's plenty of far safer ways to increase the amount of serotonin in your brain. Such as:
5-HTP - this a suplement that converts to serotonin in your system when you take it. Do some research before using it, and always use the smallest dosage possible.
Liquid Serotonin - this is the fastest (and therefore one of the more dangerous ways) to increase serotonin. You take a few drops under the tongue and it increases your serotonin levels rapidly (usually within a few minutes).
St. John's Wort - this an herb that works in a similiar way as Prozac and other MAOI's. It has to be taken regularly for awhile in order to take affect. Usually for a a couple weeks or more. But like all MAOI's that also means it will continue to work for awhile after you stop taking it, so be VERY careful with the dosage!
Then of course there's always prescription drugs like Prozac and Zoloft, ask your doctor about those.
WARNING: Never, ever, EVER mix MAOI's (Prozac, St. John's Wort, etc) with Ecstasy! It can create a condition called "Serotonin Syndrome" which is potentially fatal and really NOT ANY FUN. Believe me, I speak from experience. This can happen even if you've just been taking MAOI's recently but not the day you take Ecstasy.
So, if you are planning to take Ecstasy (I hope no one here thinks that's a good idea), make sure you have not been taking any kind of MAOI for at least two weeks prior to taking Ecstasy.

Ok, stepping off my soapbox now...
