Hallucinogens and SSRIs
    #4107710 - 04/28/05 04:23 PM (18 years, 10 months ago)

I take Prozac daily and have for many years. Because it is an SSRI, it makes it seem like I have a slight tolerance to mushrooms, even on my first trip, am I correct? Anyways, I was wondering if you knew if there were any other hallucinogens for which I would have to up my dose due to the Prozac: DMT, LSD, mescaline, et cetera.
Also, I am 130 pounds, so for my first time with mushrooms, does anyone have a dose that they could reccomend that I take. Only reccomend if you have taken shrooms on an SSRI for your first time and could maybe help figure out how much I would need to eat.
Not taking the Prozac for two weeks is simply not an option. In times when my Prozac has ran out, and I did not go to the pharmacy and pick up more for several DAYS, I had become far more easily aggravated, irritable, depressed and more. I can not stop taking this stuff just for a shroom trip, it simply is not worth it to me.

Does anyone have any answers to any of my questions? Thankyou for your time.

I was on Prozac for a couple months and whenever I drank liquor, nothing would happen... at all. I remember drinking 2 pints of whiskey and getting pissed because I seemed to feel even more sober. I also observed that Prozac greatly reduced the effects of hydrocodone.

I didn't try taking any hallucinagens while on it but this link: http://www.erowid.org/ask/ask.cgi?ID=2768 might be of interest to you.

I would strongly advise you to avoid using DXM while on any antidepressants. I made this mistake while on Effexor and felt like a zombie for a good 4 days. Not fun. It also caused violent vomitting 1 hour ofter ingestion.

Goddamnit, well at least my lowered response is with acid, not shrooms. Lord knows I will probably never get my hands on acid. But how do I know what psychadelics were tested? I mean, am I to suspect that they tested all known psychedelics?
Because I am getting DMT and I want to know how badly this will screw over my trip. Does anyone have personal experience?

Yea, I was going to do DXM a while back in high school, but even bak then I was smart: I did research on everything that went in my body. As if all the damage and possible complications that DXM could cause were nor enough, I completely voided the idea forever when I realized that it could hurt me due to the Prozac.

Check out this link:

http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/pinealstory2.htm

"Under the influence of an SSRI-AntiDepressant, serotonin levels in the Pineal Gland could increase to excessive, possibly even toxic amounts. Although I had to revise my previous hypothesis regarding increased melatonin levels in the eyes (melatonin levels didn't increase under the influence of an SSRI-AntiDepressant), this time I found more support for the hypothesis that certain serotonin derivatives, like the psychoactive tryptamines DMT, 5-MeO-DMT and Bufotenine, could very well increase on account of an SSRI-AntiDepressant."

Even better, this link:

"The effects of taking DMT are greatly increased by users who are also taking some prescription anti-depressants."

I was on prozac and tried LSD and the only effects I got was the feeling of pre-trip anxiety....

some will say that because your on an SSRI in the first place maybe you should stay away from those types of drugs.

Yes, antidepressants will increase the effect of DMT. I'm not too sure about how dangerous it is though. Start with a very low dose and slowly work your way up, and you should be fine.

dunno about chemichal interactions but i dont think its a good idea to start playing around with psychedelics if you have to eat anti-depressant / mood stabilizer in the first place

Agreed, whatever: you might want to think about why you need to take those drugs (Prozac) and whether or not you want to take psychedelics, and why. Psychedelics are pretty safe, but if you have underlying mental conditions, psychedelics can aggravate them. Be careful and tread lightly.

MAOi's will, but SSRi's have the opposite effect.

SSRI's are constantly pissing me off, they really limit the effects of opiates. Also these hateful pills are fucking impossible to get off of. I get brain zaps,dizziness,coke mouth numbness, and the list goes on. All from Effexor withdrawl, but damnit I wan't my opiates to work better!

The only reason I don't take antidepressants is because they greatly change the effects of my recreational drugs that I enjoy using so much. That and I hate the brain zaps you get when trying to get off the damn things.

I HATE BRAIN ZAPS MORE THAN ANYTHING! Every time your eyes look at a different object, or when you blink, or turn around, it feels like an electric shock being sent through your head then down your fingertips.

Anyone know exactly what causes this sensation? Sudden lack of serotonin perhaps?

I am going to work with my doctor to being weened off of Prozac. The problem you all face is idiocy. YOU CAN'T JUST QUIT TAKING ANTI-DEPRESSENTS!!!!!!! It is dangerous, and psychologically unhealthy. You should stop taking them under a doctor's supervision, gradually decreasing the dose. i can't wait to quit, so many drugs will no longer kill me if I use them :smile:

Actually, effexor is an SNRI. I was recently put on effexor, anyone know how SNRIs effect psychedelics?

yeah it it's a nor-epinephrine reuptake inhibitor as well as a seratonin reuptake inhibitor. Don't know what causes the brain zaps, but they are quite unpleasant. I have reduced to the lowest dose possible, but I'm not gonna take the time to count out the little time release pellets. lol
