 Damn SSRI

I'm sad. Last night I tried tripping for the first time ever. Took around 1.8 and all I felt was a mild stoning. I even tried smoking with it to no avail. I'm on the lowest prescribable dose of zoloft so I didn't think it would affect the trip much if at all but I guess I underestimated it.
So I guess I gotta wait and try again. I just take the zoloft to help me sleep and it's not even working so I'm gonna go off it for a while and try again. Do I still have to wait a week even though it didn't work? I'm guessing yes but I'm not sure.

any idea on the strain?
1.8 is a low dose, unless its penis envys or cyans

It was a cube (Texas I think).
I should've tripped a little though. I was almost completely sober. 0 CEV or OEV. No breathing. Just a super, super mild stoning.
Very disappointing.

That's a low dose in general and an extreme low dose on SSRIs.
Try at least 3.5g next time.

Well I'm just gonna go off my SSRI (since it's not effective anyway) and try 2g to get my feet wet.
Any opinions on if I have to wait a full week? I'm fine waiting if I should

Going cold turkey on Zoloft is going to make you fell disoriented enough. First, I would gradually wean off, by taking every other day (if that's what your doctor agrees with), and then when it's out of your system, try 2.5 or 3 grams.

My chick had the exact same issue... she's been cutting back and I think we're going to try a 3.0g next time (went with 1.8 first go around)

Very low dose really
Don't just stop any prescription drug... Can have serious consequences
Suggest talking to your doctor to come off it... Safely

My first shroom trip was >3.5g and it was great. Calm down, it's not like it will kill him. Frankly I think many people are too cautious with their shroom dosing, leading to many "I don't get it" threads here.
In the proper set and setting, an 1/8th is a good experience, (especially if 1.8 did nothing) it's intense with room to move both up and down.
Because the effects seem to be partially stepped, a low dose doesn't really 'prepare' someone for a high dose, so might as well go for medium, afterall the point is to trip right?

tripping while comming off an SSRI sounds like it could get messy to me. either wait until you're completely weened off the SSRI to trip again at the same dose, or keep taking the SSRI but increase your mushroom dosage. maybe try 2.5-3.0 next time.
Id agree that its smart not to go cold turkey, but I went cold turkey on my anxiety meds and had no issues. they were effective at first but once my body got used to them they did nothing.

Ok so based on everybody's responses my current plan is to cut my dosage of zoloft in half. Then in a week I'm gonna try 2.5g and see what happens. This is .8gs up from my last dose and I'm not stopping my SSRI.
Thoughts?

sounds good to me, might still be a little dissapointing, but i think too little is alot better than too much.
and your growing if im not mistaken, so i think you would have a good ammount to play around with until you find the right dose.

You are not mistaken, and that's my feeling. I'll have a pretty good supply so if I'm disappointed I'll take more the next time!

Why do you take Zoloft to "help you sleep"? That seems pretty extreme, SSRI's are nasty and have all kinds of negative side effects.
There are natural sleep aids that are far safer and just as effective. I really wouldn't take an SSRI for insomnia, I guess you live in the States? Doctors there seem to give out psych meds to just about anyone.
No one will be able to tell you accuarately how to work your dosage, there are too many factors at play. Some people swear there's no difference on SSRI's, others, like myself, find it almost impossible to trip whilst taking them.
Also SSRI's can take weeks to fully clear your system, I would go with a minimum of 2 weeks in regards to potential tolerance being an issue.
To my knowledge there is no risk from immediate cessation of SSRI intake (cold turkey). I have had some WD symptoms from SSRI's but they are gradual and unavoidable if you have been on high doses for 6months+.

My doctor thought my insomnia may be caused by anxiety hence the SSRI. I have not noticed any side effects due to it so I don't seem any harm in taking it seeing as how it does decrease my anxiety. I'll probably wait 1-2 weeks and trip whenever a good opportunity presents itself.

I understand what your saying but everyone is different.
I had a friend who took an eighth the first time in a really good mind set in an arboretum. The ending result was he was stuck in thought loops for a while and he had a really bad trip.
Im just trying to look out for people.
