 SSRI (Zoloft), Mushrooms, and Post-Trip Depression

Hello all, I haven't eaten mushrooms very many times, but I do see a lot of potential in the few weak experiences I have had.
Prescribed 150mg Zoloft daily, but after a couple years of taking it, I noticed that it was doing away with ALL emotion, so after a long period of taking only 100 mg every 3 or 4 days in an attempt to quit, on and off for months, the instability of everything started to get to me.
I've started taking 50 mg daily, because the Zoloft does have some benefit for me when it isn't at such a high dose, and getting back on a regular schedule is feeling much better and balanced.
While taking 100 mg every 3 or 4 days, 2.5g of dried Cubensis barely produced any noticable effects. Around a "Level 1" or very low "Level 2" trip. Now that I'm on a regular schedule of 50mg a day of Zoloft, I was wondering what type of dose I should take in an attempt to reach a "Level 3" trip.
I didn't want to attempt scaling the dosage up until I was on a regular Zoloft dosage, so I could have a better comparison between dosages, and not have a varying Zoloft level/tolerance.
I have also experienced moderate post-trip depression, but only in the 3-6 hrs after the experience,. In the days afterwards, I actually feel somewhat refreshed, but not much.
I guess what I'm asking is:
- What would be a good estimate for the dosage of P. Cubensis, when combined with 50mg of an SSRI (Zoloft) daily?
- Have any of you experienced the short, yet, fairly strong depression after taking mushrooms? And if so, do you have any advice towards a way to relieve it? If it's a chemical imbalance, are there any vitamins or foods I could take ahead of time to help counter-act the imbalance?

there is evidence that it makes it easier for people to take their own life when their on zoloft or whatever for an antidepressant their on.
these drugs are dangerous nomatter how "legal" they are. those drugschange the way people behave so that everything is so good and all that, which isnt the reality at all. plus the downswings which are normal in peoples life, will become different.
the "drugs" that are illegal are those who kill least people. no logic left anymore on how we are being treated as humanity.
If someone asked me about mixing different drugs and zoloft my answer would be. nothing should be mixed with antidepressants at all costs.

in the meantime herbals which are important to life as living/existence are illegal, so mr Big can make that buck and business continue its unmoral way of existence.
advice would be: don't mix anything with those medicals.
nature is humanity.

I agree with basically everything you've said, which is why I tried to get off of Zoloft, but damn if those withdrawal symptoms aren't like crawling naked through Hell and back.

What do you mean by this?

From personal experience, this is very true. Before the medication, I had some suicidal tendencies, but had always pussied out, simply because of the magnitude of what suicide would be.
While taking the high dosage of Zoloft, suicide seemed to just be another thing. I wasn't necessarily depressed and suicidal all the time, but during the low points, suicide seemed to not really hold that powerful, dark, almost taboo presence about it, and almost just seemed like "another thing on my to-do list"
I've found that prolonged, secluded deep thinking, and serious self-reflection, while it has the potential to be harmful in someone like me, has actually had more benefit to me than being another lab rat for Big Pharma, and am happy to say that, for the majority of the time, I'm a generally content human being, that just happens to have manic swings from time to time, and tends to linger on the lower, more humble end of the mood spectrum most of the time.
