> Why do they put Dextromethorphan in Ecstasy pills? Is it serotonergic?
salarmy4me...it is slightly seotonergic at the 5ht2 receptor and the 5ht reuptake sites. People mask any serotonergic drug as MDMA, and since DXM is very inexpensive and easy to obtain...also, the main problem with the combination is that people take a DXM pill, think that it is "fake" then take another pill which may contain MDMA, there is an interaction between the two drugs, that usually results in a hypertensive crisis-like reaction.
