To mitigate this, I sipped water periodically but not excessively. Theoretically, drinking salt water could address the hyponatremia, but I opted not to do this due to concerns it might exacerbate urinary retention.

I'm considering using a low dose of tamsulosin for my next experience. Tamsulosin is a selective alpha-1a adrenergic receptor antagonist used for treating acute urinary retention. Alpha-1a receptors are more prevalent in the urinary system than the alpha-1b receptors found in blood vessels. Blocking alpha-1a receptors relaxes smooth muscle tissues, making urination easier.

T+11:00: The visuals, headspace, and stimulation were still present at this point, albeit much weaker. The urinary retention had finally eased enough to allow me to urinate consistently, producing short streams of urine rather than mere drops.

T+13:00: 50 mg Trazodone, 400 mg L-Theanine, 3 mg Melatonin, 12.5 mg Benadryl It was getting late and I wanted to sleep so I took some sleep medications and supplements. The trazodone pulled most of the weight here as it’s a 5-HT2a antagonist.

I had some decently strong dreams during the night, although the trazodone certainly contributed to this.

T+23:00: I woke up feeling slightly groggy but less than I expected given the trazodone dosage. I suspect the stimulatory effects of MAL were still mildly active, although no psychedelic effects remained. There was a pleasant euphoric afterglow throughout the day.

T+48:00: 100 mg Phenibut I've found that taking a very low dose of phenibut two days after a larger dose effectively eliminates the rebound anxiety and depression for the following week. The afterglow wasn't as euphoric, but a slight mood elevation was still present. Importantly, a sense of stability and calmness pervaded the day.

I felt a little bit tired today, more so than I would be with other psychedelics. This might be due to the stimulatory after effects.

T+72:00: The afterglow is still going pretty strong. I would say it’s on par with LSD or shrooms and certainly much stronger than 2C-B. The sense of tiredness is gone.

This was, by all accounts, a fantastic experience. It was incredibly euphoric, gentle, visual, and insightful. It almost felt as though I had combined shrooms and 5-MAPB, but without the serotonin depletion. Of all the RC psychedelics I've tried, I have to say that MAL is my absolute favorite. While the headspace isn't the strongest, it is still quite introspective, and the added empathogenic effects are a significant bonus. I believe it has immense therapeutic potential.

However, the urinary retention is more than a minor inconvenience. This was a fairly moderate experience, and I would like to have a much stronger one, but I am concerned that the urinary retention could become dangerous. I hope that tamsulosin can alleviate the retention enough to make it less of an issue.
