I cannot even eat food high in trace amines or I get anxious as all get out and I am up all night. Seriously, chocolate gives me insomnia. So I have no idea how someone could handle these drugs.

I think this happens to me for two reasons. I am low in BH4 which limits my ability to metabolize amino acids down the common pathway and thinks like phenylalanine get metabolized dow the alternative pathways creating PEA and Tyramine. But also I have the mental illness associated changes in TAAR1 and VMAT1 and VMAT2. (I have schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder.)

I never understood why people would want to take drugs to see the shit and live the suffering I have all my life but that's where we are...
