Harmala alkaloid: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

However, it is important to understand that this does not imply that Harmala alkaloids will not cause neurotoxicity. Harmala alkaloids temporarily disable the brain's primary mechanism for breaking down neurotransmitters and drugs, which can have negative consequences as material builds up in the synapses, leading to a huge range of downstream central and peripheral effects including; [[Sedation|sedation]], [[Stimulation|stimulation]], [[Anxiety|anxiety]], [[Physical effects: dysphoria|Dysphoria]], [[Physical euphoria|euphoria]], [[Headaches|headaches]], [[Physical effects: Eye strain|eye strain]], [[Physical effects: Convulsions|convulsions]], etc.

Since [[DMT]] is broken down by monoamine oxidase-A, inhibition of this enzyme allows for the oral activation of DMT, and prolongs the experience for the duration of the harmala alkaloids' effects. In combination, harmala alkaloids and DMT is known as [[~~Ayahuasca~~]].

Since [[DMT]] is broken down by monoamine oxidase-A, inhibition of this enzyme allows for the oral activation of DMT, and prolongs the experience for the duration of the harmala alkaloids' effects. In combination, harmala alkaloids and DMT is known as [[ayahuasca]].
