How long should I stop taking my Prozac and Zyprexa before tripping?
    #21378536 - 03/08/15 02:36 PM (9 years, 2 months ago)

I'm currently on Prozac and Zyprexa. I ate a six inch cutting of a San Pedro cactus while I was taking my medication. I definitely felt effects from it, but I hardly had any visuals. And I didn't really trip from it. I recently read that the meds I'm on can stop mescaline, LSD, and shrooms from working. How long should I wait to take psychedelics after stopping my medication?

I don't really NEED to take my meds. I've never had any hallucinations or delusions or heard voices or anything like that. The only time I had hallucinations was when I took some shrooms, before I started taking my meds. So I'll be fine without them.

Don't forget that you are not a doctor, and the person being prescribed the anti-depressants has no real ability to self-diagnose their condition. That's why we use a third party in the first place.

Well I'm not going to just call up my doctor and tell them I want to take psychedelics, lol. They won't understand.

All I want to know is how long I'll have to wait after stopping my medication to get full effects from psychedelics.

The way your post is worded implies that you started taking Zyprexa because of a previous trip?

Oh lol, no. My previous trip just was like a year before I started taking zyprexa. The two aren't related at all.

I just wanna know how long I'll have to be off my meds to be able to trip. Because I've read about a lot of people who weren't able to trip when they were on either of my medications.

Most doctors are just shills for big pharma.  Fuck em.  I'm bi-polar and went through a whole slew of bullshit meds that just made things worse, I started refusing meds and using psychedelics instead, stay up-to-date on pharmacology, coginitive and neuroscience and manage my mental health on my own.  10 years off the meds and doing better now than I ever had before.  It takes a lot of introspection, monitoring, meditation, research and will power, but it is 100% do-able to go off meds.   

OP, you have to be pretty intelligent, educated and capable of great introspection in order to deal with depression or mood disorders without meds, but it's possible.  I recommend keeping a daily journal if you're going to be off meds for a while. 

Also, going on and off meds wreaks havoc on your mind, you should make a choice, either you need the meds or you don't.  You don't just get off meds to get high and have a good time.  That's stupid and it won't turn out well.  If you don't need meds, taper off them slow and then see how you do with psychedelics. 

Don't trip more than once a month at first, after a while you may even want to do them less.  I trip every 2 months or so and that keeps me stable and happy, depression free.  Psychedelics are not a toy though, especially if you have problems that have caused you to seek out professional help and start taking meds in the first place. Start out with mushrooms, they're a natural antidepressant and seem to be the easiest on the mind.  I generally feel like shit after taking LSD.  Stay away from RCs, they seem to be really tough on people in terms of negative mental side-effects. 

If you get stupid and abuse these drugs you will wind up back on meds and worse off than you were before.  Approach them with respect and you will have a powerful tool that will add meaning to your life while alleviating the symptoms of depression etc. 

If you want to continue to see a psychiatrist while not doing meds, find somebody who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy and tell them that you absolutely refuse meds.  I found a pretty cool doctor that accepted that and still gave me a lot of good advise and tools for managing my mood disorder.  Don't tell them you're tripping though, learn to have a filter and only tell them need-to know information, otherwise they'll treat you like a druggy idiot and you'll get no-where with them.  Good luck.  :grin:
