LSD and Anti-depressants?

My friend wants to try LSD for the first time on Friday, but I'm worried cause he just started taking anti-depressants and I don't want him to get messed up in the head and serotonin syndrome or something. And even if that's not gonna be a problem, I don't want him to have wasted money if the acid isn't even gonna work for him. I'm not exactly sure how all that works, but I just wanna know if its gonna be dangerous for him to take LSD while on anti-depressants. He just started them this month so it hasn't been that long but I want to be sure so I can let him know.

If he's only been on them for a month than it shouldn't hurt him too bad if at all to stop taking them today. That should give enough time for them to be out of his system for when he does acid.

Yeah just quit taking anti depressants and then start taking LSD instead. Or shrooms. Idk maybe those drugs do help people but I just don't like the pharmaceutical industry.
These drugs only help to deal with symptoms without treating a cause. LSD and shrooms can do the same but I feel help people find the root cause. And their effect lasts much longer than needing daily doses. But either way, taking anti-depressants doesn't change the cause of the chemical imbalance, even if one does exist. Unless the person was born with the chemical imbalance. A change of environment, lifestyle, and thinking can change the cause of a chemical imbalance. Because those are the root causes. Pills only treat the symptom.

Do NOT take them while on anti depressants. Get off the anti-depressants why do you even need them anyways? Not trying to be a dick or anything but chances are pretty high that you don't even remotely need them, SSRIs permanently fuck up your serotonin levels anyways and they're just a bandaid on a bullet wound they're never going to fix your depression only regulate your mood and fuck up your serotonin levels in the process.
And once again not trying to be rude here but why are you taking LSD anyways if you don't trust it enough to get off your meds? You should only take LSD if you know it's real LSD dude. Most acid I'd say is fake or at least a very good percentage of it.
If you aren't sure it's acid or good acid you should just take mushrooms honestly. Not to mention they're a better experience imo and work way better for depression than LSD or really anything else. Mushrooms are natures anti-depressant and you're not going to find anything more effective.

I don't know pharmacology but I mixed shrooms with an antipsychotic and was depressed afterwards for ages.

Were the effects diminished? Because from what I understand antipsychotics keep your from experiencing true hallucinogenic or psychedelic effects to some extent similar to xanax.

Yeah very diminished. Only 5-HT1 receptor gets hit and the histamines or something, making all the physiological effects occur, and you get this warped perception, like my living room was spacially impossible, but you don't get "tripped out" or any cognitive effects, no euphoria, just everything looks strange. Then you come down and you feel like shit for 6 months (in my experience. The AP was Abilify, fyi)
I think the receptor site competition isn't good for the brain. A guess.
I know, it was dumb. Yes, I regret it. But at least I'm passing the info on.

i was on an SSRI for a couple of years and it was exactly what i needed at the time. not all doctors are morons. not all doctors who prescribe it are idiots in the pockets of "big pharma." obviously i don't know your friend's situation, but anti depressants are useful tools when used properly for the right reasons.

I'm asking for a friend, not myself. I've been on anti-depressants before but I haven't been for almost a year and personally, they numbed me emotionally quite a bit. but idk, people work differently with this stuff. I told him if he wanted to do acid, he should stop taking them till after we trip and he's cool with that. Thanks for the replies everyone

Fuck people... Word of the wise, don't mix drugs. Chances are if you have to ask if it's a good idea and make up hypotheticals, don't do it... Cmon people use your head. You can have a fucking stroke from smoking pot and taking Prozac... Don't Fuckin g mix drugs. Christ mankind is filled with men who wish to ravage their own psyches as if this world doesn't do it enough. And don't just stop taking psychotropic meds.... Unless you really wanna fuck your brain chemistry up more than it already is from being depressed and now on SSRIs. Ween off of them, talk to the doc about weening off... People stop their meds then slip into chronic depression. But fuck it, trip balls man. After all, it's just your mind, you don't need it for that much , do you? I pray for mankind.... The silly amount of these types of posts and tripped out responses is hilarious... New Age Doctors with degrees in psychedelic induced brain trauma....
