Trip report. An SSRI Christmas miracle

Firstly, thank you to all who commented on an earlier post I made, both publicly and by private message. Your observations were enough for me to try one more time.
Background: I’m on a lot of loony meds, including SSRIs, mood stabilisers and anti-psychotics. Stopping them isn’t an option. After reading up on the therapeutic effects of shrooms, I thought they would help dig up some buried shit so I could face it and deal with it. Only after my first successful grow did I find that the meds attenuated the effects to the point that I felt pretty much nothing on a normal dose.
With any luck, the following will offer hope to others in a similar position.
Yesterday I ground up 10g dry of Golden Teacher and made tea. I drank a little over half shortly before 6pm on an empty stomach. I was tempted to knock back more, but this was uncharted territory; what if there was a threshold beyond which the SSRIs would sit back and enjoy the party??
After about 10 minutes I thought that my teeth were getting bigger, but wasn’t sure whether that was the shrooms or optimistic expectation. After half an hour I was very chilled, music sounded really clear, and I got a few closed eye visuals (colours and patterns rather than anything elaborate). By 7pm I noticed ‘ripples’ – the pattern on the blanket I was wrapped in was moving around a little and the flames from the log fire were fascinating.
I wasn’t able to escape reality at any point, and I came out of the experience a few times, although simple meditative practices got me back in.
By half 8 it was all over, but I had proof of concept; it clearly IS possible to trip on mushrooms whilst taking SSRIs, it just needs a heavier dose.
I respect the shrooms so I’ll titrate up slowly, but I anticipate 10g should be enough to get to at least a level 3 trip, maybe a 4.

Also your ability to grow quality mush might suck

I had a 'control subject' on 2g who would say otherwise, but I'm sure it's possible. Regardless, if my experience helps or encourages others, I'm happy.

leave a couple of weeks for threshold recovery (tolerance) sounds very amazing - good work.
