Strattera and Psychedelics

I recently got prescribed Strattera. I was trying to get Adderall (I was prescribed it in the past), but apparently my blood pressure is pretty high for some reason (getting some blood tests to try and see why) so the doctor wasn't comfortable prescribing me a stimulant. Strattera is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Will this interfere with psychedelics (specifically LSD) or MDMA?

I would tread with caution. I remember reading a report on Erowid of a guy who was on Adderall and then Strattera and took shrooms and went into a psychosis and thought his friends were raping him in his sleep and called the cops on them and they stopped talking to him and all this crazy shit... lemme see if I can find it....

My gf wouldn't feel mushrooms at all when she was on her SNRI's. With acid she had to do 6 hits to feel what I would get off 2. After she got off of them, and she finally got to try mushrooms properly, they kicked in within 15 minutes.

Yeah, but Strattera isn't an SNRI, it's just norepinephrine.

The psychosis in that report was caused by bipolar disorder, Strattera, and Adderal, not ADD, Strattera and LSD. Really good read, though.
How old are you, OP? If you're in your mid-late twenties, or older, and haven't been diagnosed with any mental illness that causes psychosis, you probably won't have a psychotic episode. But you should make sure of the fact that you don't have issues that would cause psychosis. Look into schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to see if you show any of the symptoms related to those illnesses, and you might want to go to a doctor even if you don't think you have either of those illnesses, just to be sure.

Not to sound like an asshole, but did you look at my account stats at all? Seriously though, I've taken psychedelics more times than I can count. I'm 21, almost 22. I definitely don't have any psychotic disorders.

Hey LSDreamer, I just recently was prescribed strattera too, and I've tripped on acid 3 times and tried shrooms 4 times (and got about two not so strong shroom trips, the other two times they didn't really do much). I actually think I'm going to stop taking strattera before I try LSD again, but I'm not sure. I don't have any idea how it might interfere, but if you look at the molecular structures of strattera and LSD, they're very different. They both have oxygen but on LSD it's a carbonyl and on strattera it's an ether. LSD has 3 Nitrogen's and straterra only has one, and both have a nitrogen with one hydrogen and a lone pair.
The only thing I could think of is that maybe the way they act could conflict, maybe straterra could keep you too focused on things. Maybe that could cause a bad trip, or a good one. Maybe when your mind goes to bad things it would just be too hard to get it off of those bad things because you're too focused. I don't know, sometimes I'm still extra ADHD when I take a lot of adderall.
Regarding that story from Erowid experience, I don't think that's a good example of whether or not to try combining Strattera with psychedelics because the person writing that has bipolar disorder, and a friend of mine has bipolar disorder, and I have adderall, and he told me that his psychiatrist told him never ever to take adderall because it can amplify the bipolar disorder.
Strattera takes two to four weeks to start it's magic, so I would assume that it would take a bit of time to wear off as well, so if you're worried about interactions, I would stop taking strattera for at least two weeks before tripping on LSD. I think this is what I'm going to do too, but if I can't wait, I'll probably just take acid while on strattera. I'll have to see how strattera affects me in 2-4 weeks.

I have been on Straterra for over a year now. I have been a semi-regular smoker as well as used mescaline and mushrooms with 0 negative side affects. I was also told by my psychiatrist that I was in the clear. I wanted to make sure so I asked.
