Pills after a heavy night

I went clubbing last night with a group of mates and took about 7-8 pills over the course of the night.
Anyway, I went up my mates house today just to pop in, as you do, and he had a couple of pills left over. So we both double dropped..
Within half an hour he was up again and buzzing whereas nothing happened to me. I had a couple of little rushes but not a full on come-up and these were the same pills we had last night which I were fucked from.
I took them at about 4pm and 6 hours on (as its now 10:20pm) they probably aren't going to kick in. I just wondered if anyone knew why this happened?
My guess is that my seratonin levels are mostly gone, but my mate did more pills than me the previous night and still come up today.. so I'm unsure.

I had a feeling it was spmething to do with seratonin levels.. I thought it through though and my mate doesn't take pills as regularly as me, so I guess his tolerance levels are weaker than mine.
Im interested in this 5htp stuff... have any short term or long term health hazards been reported? Why hasnt this stuff been used instead of the anti-depressants on the market today?
Im just thining it may be too good to be true.
That's it and then when you get to that stage smoke a load of joints. :eek2:
As with any chemical that is naturally present in your brain, the balance is delicate and it works in co-operation with the other hormones etc. Its not a miracle cure, if you wanted to over simplify matters you could say it was an amino acid precursor to the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter - you need 5-HTP, amongst other things, for your brain to be able to produce serotonin. The difference it makes to the actual levels isn't that much, and other factors need to be considered in the treatment of depression - SSRI's block the neural pathways that take up serotonin, meaning there is more about in your brain, they don't make you produce more.
As for health hazards, high doses have been know to affect your liver, and as with any of this type of thing, you are potentially throwing a delicate system out of balance.
To understand how 5-HTP works in much more detail, it would be worth reading the Erowid Tryptophan Vault.

Can be fun but headfuck none the less!
This wasn't the case during the weekend though. I had a huge pill up session on friday night with these pink kangols and then on sunday night I had another huge pill up session but this time a combination of pink kangols, x-factors (the triangles with the X), and some double cherries. Oh my fucking god, I've hallucinated of pills before but never this much or this clearly. Fucking clear hallucinations of Bender from futurama, green pixies, police running around with no heads, a ballet dancer floating in the air, demon faces flying around the wood, a ghost of a cat, a cow that ran through me, a huge bright green laser fence that I walked through and a row of police officers with hand guns that made me put my hands up and shout "don't shoot" in the middle of a golf course. Haha way more vivid hallucinations that any other times doing pills, more like a shroom trip.
those are some strange hallucinations and they certainly dont sound like a shroom trip!
Sounds like you are a proper bullshiter, xtc.
