Really important question regarding prozac and shrooms
#10509472 - 06/15/09 08:26 AM (14 years, 8 months ago) |

Ok so I've read many topics on many sites regarding this issue. Basically I'm going to explain how I've been using the medication I started off taking prozac about a year ago for OCD (NOT DEPRESSION!) yes SSRI's are also used to treat OCD in high doses so I'm on 80MG of that shit. It makes alcohol stronger but that's about it ( not even a lot stronger I can have 4 beers no problem and not be drunk and I'm a male weighing 125 pounds) and I stopped taking the prozac for about a month just because I didn't think I needed it a while ago and when I started taking it again it was less effective. I just want to point out that I'm using this medication for a reason that's not for depression. I've also tried salvia on prozac last year and tripped. What I basically want to know is am I wasting my money? Will the shrooms work? Will I have to take more? Dangerous? Please help thanks

You have to be extremely careful because theses drugs are maoi... which enhance the effects of psychedelics.

It doesn't matter WHY you're taking it, it still acts the same way. You will not trip while you are on that shit. Although, psychedelics are known to be able to treat OCD, so it might be worth your while to taper off your SSRI and try psychedelic therapy. Just a thought.

I am taking paroxetine...another SSRI...and have eaten mushies a bunch of times without adverse consequences of any sort. However, I do think that I get less of a buzz than others who are SSRI free. The question here is whether you will experience more adverse effects if you raise your dose of psilocybin. From a practical perspective, you might want to titrate your dose of shrooms to how you are feeling. Start with a low dose...wait to experience the effects....if all is well...have a few more shrooms...wait and see how you feel...if ok..have a few more. IMO this is a safer approach than eating a handful...and having a rough time.

do this. fuck those pharmaceutical fascists. they are not out to aid you in your psychological well being. all they do is shove an addictive, side effect causing, ineffective pill down your throat so they can make cash. regardless pills are only temporary solutions (when effective) and this is never the answer. get of the pills IMMEDIATELY. drop acid or eat mush. understand you mind, and realize you never should have been on the pills in the first place.
and i was on SSRIs for ocd as well, if thats relevant.

Yes...I definitely trip. I get the body rush, the introspection and I get the visuals. However, I find that I do need more than my trip mates.
As great a fan as I am of psychedelics, if your doc and you think you benefit from prozac or another SSRI, follow medical advice. While some folks recovery with indole psychedelics alone, others have gotten worse. There is no way of telling who you might be.
Again..I suggest small but increasing doses so that you have the best and safest possible experience.

Prozac stays in your system for up to three months after taking it. you can compensate by taking more mushrooms but you really might want to wait until it clears your system.

dude yes. the prozac does the same job no matter what you're treating it for and it does not attempt to heal anything. prozac will not cure your OCD, it MIGHT alleviate some symptoms, but it will most likely just severely fuck you up in other ways. trust me. i recently did my research paper regarding pharmaceuticals and their danger. if you're interested in reading it (not too long, 4 1/2 pages double spaced) I'd be glad to share it with you. Just reply or PM me.

Actually, Fluoxetine's Half-Life: 1–3 Days (Norfluoxetine 5–7 Days). It generally takes five half-lives for a drug to clear your system. So, to eliminate all of the parent compound, it takes two weeks...and to clear the nor- metabolite it can take up to five weeks.
