Prozac and mushrooms

Ok. I've read a LOT of info on here and other places about taking Prozac and Shrooms. Half the posts say you cant trip at all and that ssris are horrible and to get off them as soon as you can, and the other half say they had a great trip with less anxiousness. I don't want people posting here that are just gunna say, "Get off the ssris man!".
I would like to hear from people that are on Prozac and have taken shrooms. Or are on any ssris and have taken shrooms. I know everyone thinks ssris are bad, but I don't give a shit. I need them and they greatly improve my quality of life. If anyone has any first hand experience, or knows someone that has tried tripping while on ssris, specifically Prozac, then chime in.
I know ssris are bad. Stop lecturing me, mom. Thank you in advance for your comments.
BTW, I was on Citolopram for several months, then Wellbutrin for a couple of months, and now am on Prozac. I've been on 50mg of Prozac a day for about two weeks. Im also on suboxone, cloazapam, and gabapentine, very low doses of each. I know benzodiazapines will kill a trip, but I'm willing to not take them for a few days before tripping.
Again, thank you for your advice.... And PLEASE just don't tell me to stop taking Prozac. It is not an option, so might as well not even post that. I've read that in almost every single tread about this. I KNOW.

Fuck You. It's just a ride mang...

I was on Prozac for quite a few years a while back. I noticed I had a slightly higher tolerance to psilocybin, however, desired results were def able to be achieved. Many people WILL bitch about SSRIs, you are correct. These are generally the people who can not fathom the suffering a person who truly needs them can go through. Be well :-)

Thank y'all so much for your post. I have a very low tolerance to shrooms. 2 grams will fuck me up good. I guess I'll take 3 next time. 50 percent increase. I'll report back how it was. Thanks again.

Can't help but love the Americans, by the age of 12 they are on at least 5 different medications
Why don't you just take the damn mush and see what happens, you are on a cocktail of drugs anyway, a little bit of psilocybin won't tip the scales, surely?

I was on prozac the first time I took LSD, sorry not shrooms but I figure it might still be useful info. I had read that prozac might lessen the effects but I was actually kind of glad about that since I was kind of scared of not being able to handle it. Things went very well but it was very mild. I felt it was a good introduction. This was one hit of unknown potency. Next couple of times I tripped I would skip my prozac for that day and that seemed to do the trick. Usually my trips are very well planned out but one day I got a free day off from work so decided to take 2 hits even though I had taken my meds that morning and it was pretty much a waste. I felt a bit high but thats it, nothing like 2 hits on a day I hadnt taken my meds.

I've taken benzos on shrooms. They have the same effect as they would if you were to be sober; takes the edge off. The 'edge' is just a little bigger on shrooms, so the trip you would have would not be a traditional mushroom trip. It would be a mushroom trip with a bunch of SSRI's.
I have taken Valium once when I was drunk after having some regret of eating mushrooms. It was probably the most significant trip in terms of life benefits (this was on a very low dose too, 1.2g of some potent Cambodians).
Just eat them.

Same here but mid-twenties.
OP, I've been on a low dose of prozac for years. If I'm planning a trip, I take a break from the meds, usually about a week. You will get effects if you don't take a break, but it's hard to cross the threshold without taking a large unknown amount. I don't take any other meds regularly.
Edit: I forgot to add that I experienced psychedelics long before I was medicated. I don't notice a difference between those trips and a trip after a week long break from prozac.

The first time I took shrooms I was on a 2-3 year long relationship with Prozac (I was 20 atm, I'd always been a depressed kid and had severe OCD). Shrooms didn't do practically anything for me, and I thought this was because they weren't in their best shape (badly grown). I took another shrooms 3 months later and almost the same thing happened: nothing more than some crappy visuals and a little weirness.
At that point I got really frustrated since I'd just finished reading Terence McKenna 'Food of the Gods' and these experiences were just not doing it for me. Since I wanted to overcome my personal problems and Prozac was just some placebo that kept me going without solving anything, I decided to lay it off for a few weeks and see what happened. Summer was just beginning so it was a good time to do so. After 2 months off I tried some shrooms for the third time. The set and setting, added to properly grown shrooms did the job. It was like a 10 year psychoteraphy session in one night, ceirtainly the most significant experience in my path to adulthood.
That said, I think if you want to know what they're about you should probably lay off the Prozac to get their full effect, and being your 'unmedicated' self during so. At least for me it did the job. I've never taken any antidepressant or mind altering medication since then. It's also very important to let your therapist know about any changes you make on your medication intake during this process.

This thread has been closed.
Reason: No joke. This thread is locked because Prozac is more unsafe than the allowed list of legal and illegal substances.
SSRIs ruin your trip.
