Hey all-
Thanks everyone for the posts and advice - super appreciated. You know, it's nice to be on a forum that has educated, well-written & experienced people instead of the usual trolls. As is the case with most people, I'm sure, my issues go deeper than just major depressive disorder, I'm also an alcoholic. I've tried MANY times to stop drinking, and always relapsed. This was another reason to start tripping, as I had also heard that it can help with quitting alcohol. Little did I know the interactions with the SSRI and SNRI I am on would not allow for this. So here's what I'm going to do - I'm going to quit drinking starting today, and stay on my current level of antidepressants through this month while I go through the alcohol withdrawal, then starting in Feb I'll start to gradually lower my dose until I'm weaned off them completely - probably 2 - 3 months. The cubes from my first harvest I'm currently drying and will put in the freezer for a trip most likely in the Spring.
So yeah, I got my work cut out for me. This will probably be the hardest thing I've had to do, but if I don't do it I'll never get better. I'll check back in with ya'all and let you know if I make it till then. Odds are against me, only about 5% of people actually recover, just hope I have the willpower to stick it out. I know if I am able to the benefits will certainly outweigh the temporary suffering, but that's easier said than done, as you probably already know. Thanks again all -

Being on most anti-anxiety medications block any effects from mushrooms and lysergamides and not doing it on an empty stomach weakens it.

You got this bro. I am using mushrooms to help me get over a 20 year opiate addiction that got real nasty the last 5 years. Def take it slow with getting off your meds and be prepared to have some really hard days long after you take your last pill/drink. Ofnce your off them and start working with the mushrooms it's important to remember they will only show you the way, and even when they make you feel like your cured it's short lived. You have to work with them, try to listen and make the changes your telling yourself to make or it can turn dark on your ass. That said they can also be extremely recreational while they are healing you and I find in the beginning you can eat them as often as you feel the urge too so don't be shy. Good luck PM me if you ever need to talk to someone going through something similar.

Are we allowed to suggest flushing all the Zoloft?
What an awesome transition, quitting Zoloft to pick up this! Hell yes.
We’re tou gonna do 40g fresh your first time???
You might wanna start with like 10-20g fresh lol if you’re not experienced or simply do not know how much is a lot for you. For some people 5g is ALOT for others it’s not so much. You should know this about yourself before doing 40 g fresh
this really is terrible and potentially dangerous information that should not be used. When you are coming off of any kind of drug that you become tolerant to, you dont want to stop using it suddenly and trade it for psychedelics. This is how people have psychotic breaks.... let your brain take some time to heal and take it slow getting off the SSRIs, the brain zaps that you get can be terrible for some people. I imagine its a lot more like a benzo WD mixed with too much mdma (zaps) than opiate withdrawal but it was still very hard for some of my family members to get off so please be careful and remember that there is a lot of time left in your life, no need to rush in!
take your time, do a little more research around here and then try again. the good thing is that when you properly dry mushrooms they stay good for a long time in the right conditions.
PM me if you need any advice and good luck to you on your journey to happiness my friend!

OP said himself that he was gonna slowly stop taking Zoloft so that he can take shrooms he grew hence the awesome transition comment
No one recommend picking up shrooms and dropping Zoloft immediately you are mistaken due to not reading the thread
It’s really sad all the people who have been tricked into taking drugs that are more addicting than heroine. At least with heroine you don’t risk deadly seizures pharmaceutical drugs are so bad. I’m glad I was never tricked into finding happiness in some fake pill
Interesting that so many pharmaceutical users are drawn to this site
OP already said he is doing well btw thanks to the comments

I fully accept the comments on withdrawing slowly; I may just have been extremely lucky. The information I was being given at the time was that the length of the withdrawal / tapering off period should be AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE DURATION YOU WERE ON THEM FOR. For me that should have been at least 7 years! I tried to come off unden my doctors care 3 times, unsuccessfully. That’s why I went for the 3 week tapering off, only telling my doctor once I was off; he did advise me what I had done was not recommended by medical professionals. The withdrawal symptoms did last about 5 months, same amount of time it took me to be able to trip properly after coming off SSRIs. (Hmm, coincidence?)
I really wish I had found the Shroomery before I went to my doctors that first time with depression.....
I would never hope any of my advice leads someone into trouble. So I always stress, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH; start right here in the Shroomery.
Mush love people, and stay safe. DJ Ed
