In reply to PEA -- where to find..., posted by JLxx on May 3, 2005, at 17:05:30
Just buy PEA HCl from a chemical supply company? Even with rediculous chemical supply house markup, it still cost me like $40 for 100g or something like that. Catalogs.google.com is a good start, and tons of them have it. Just gotta find one that will sell to you.
I am warning you guys that PEA is not benign. It is an extremely powerful endogenous neuromodulator that should be treated with respect. You can easily put yourself near psychosis by taking too much of it over a relatively short period of time. The problem is with MAO-B inhibited, it accumulates in the brain, yet you only feel its action for a short while. Thus, more is taken, and the cycle repeats. I also never found it that pleasurable for any extended period of time. For posterity, I once tried IVing 60mg of it. I got a nice rush. I did it again the next day, and felt incredibly anxious and dysphoric. It definitely is not amphetamine.
If one supplements with it and an MAO-B inhibitor, I recommend starting at 5-10mg per day and working up slowly. You can get a good antidepressant effect, I'm sure; just tread with caution.
