Prozac Keepin Me From Boomin :(

In dabbled with other drugs while taking 10mg prozac and never noticed any decrease in effects or anything of that nature. However, just today I tried 2.6g of dry cubensis for the first time and I feel like the prozac prevented me from tripping.
After I got the shrooms down, I felt a little lightness in my body and a little more connected with music, but these teaser feelings only last about a half hour, then abruptly ended all at once.
I took these shrooms on an empty stomach. I'm not sure if weight has much to do with dosage, but I'm only 107lb, so 2.7g seemed like a more than suitable dose for a first timer.
I'm just so sad I didnt get to journey do you think the prozac could be the problem? If so, about how long might I abstain from prozac to be able to effectively trip?
Now, I know there are people that might say its bad news to just stop taking the prozac, but two years ago I abruptly quit taking 70mg prozac and suffered no withdrawl effects. I've only been taking this 10 mg prozac for a little less than a month. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

My recommendation is not to go off your meds just to trip. I'm sure you will anyway if you're asking, but I just had to get that off my chest haha...anyway, do you know that other people have tripped from similar or lower doses of the same batch? They might just be bunk and you might've just been having placebo.

Yes, Prozac is the problem. Due to SSRI discontinuation syndrome, you can't just stop SSRIs.
The best you can do IME is the following: Skip one night of Prozac the night before you want to shroom. Use some piracetam to boost the effects of the shrooms (taken 1 hr. to 1.5 hr. before). Take a larger dose (2X) than you would normally take.
Resume your SSRI the night of your trip-- even if in the midst of your trip.
Good luck.

if anything i would think it would make you trip more. Prozac is an SSRI which allows serotonin to not be taken back to the receptor is was fired from. As you know psilocybin works just like serotonin in your brain, the chemical structures look very similar. So my arguement is that the mushroom "goodness" would also be affected by the SSRI and not be taken back into the receptor from which it was fired.

Imop you should stop Prozac for good man antidepressants are so terrible for you it's made, pushed, and supported by the government. Live your life maybe some LSD will cure your depression it sure did for me.

The shrooms are your problem. They are just weak. I take 40 mg/day prozac and I trip balls all the time on 1 - 2 grams of cubes. I also weigh 220 lbs. Find a different source for your mushrooms.

Yeah I don't have any problems tripping on 40mg/day Celexa. Supposedly the trip is reduced on SSRIs but I've never noticed any differently. You should at least be able to trip a little...

This is exactly why I want to experience the full effects of shrooms and lucy - I believe they can open up new doors of opportunity for me to heal in my own more natural, permanent way. Me and prozac get along just fine, but I dislike the idea of being bound by a prescription, not to mention its beginning to rival the sleepy zombie effect i encountered on seroquel.
physicist and tokinman21, a friend of mine who has boomed before tripped balls off 2g of the same batch of gold caps so I'm assuming the batch wasn't botched. It took every ounce of strength in me not to mack down the remaining 5g, but I didn't want to waste it if I didn't know for sure it could help me take off.

soooo i'm figuring about 5.4g or higher next time? How long would you reccomend waiting till I try again? I've read that it takes about three days for shrooms to exit your system (for the most part at least), and I know its very easy to build a tolerancy for these bad boys. Would a week be long enough of a wait?

A week's fine. 4-5g should do the trick.

I don't think Prozac did anything - positively or negatively - for my OCD and resulting depression. Just to mention that.
Psilocin on the other hand... has allowed me to feel relief I never thought would be possible. Not lasting relief very much, mind, but it's early days yet and any significant relief from OCD even temporary is more profound than most people might imagine.
Depression and the generally gloomy pessimistic view of life and the world is eased too I find.
