Took shrooms but not tripping, suggestions?

Hello everyone, first time poster and shroomer here.
I followed the basic TEK on this site for growing shrooms: cakes, humidifier, the whole deal. I bought the spores from TLG. After growing, dried them just like it said, and two hours ago, I took my first dosage of shrooms ever: 2g. I wanted to stay on the light side since this is my first time. Thus far I feel nothing. At all. Right after taking it, I did take prescriptian nausea meds (Promethazine) to make sure I didn't get affected by nausea. I'm also on SSRI's (Lexapro). Anyone have this experience? I bought B+ and Amizonan strains from TLG, could these simply not be what I thought I bought?
I'm staying put on my couch for the rest of the evening in case something does happen, but it's pretty disheartening to have put this much time, money, and effort into it, and get nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

It still might kick in. If not, i'm guessing the shrooms aren't very dry and they weigh a lot more than dry shrooms, thus you didn't take enough. Maybe you can dry them and dry again, or just eat a gram or two more. Wait a while and tell us what happens.

They do bruise blue, although none of the ones I took were bruised. My stomach wasn't totally empty, I'd eaten probably 4 hours prior and was beginning to get a bit hungry. And nope, didn't use any heat, used a desiccant, put them in a tupperware bowl like the tek said. I left them in there at least 5 days, so I'm hoping this isn't because they weren't dry enough. I'll take another gram and see what happens, but won't risk anymore than that. I'll keep everyone posted, thanks for the insights.

hmmm... my guess is they werent 100% dry and you didnt take enough. you should have fan dryed them for 24 hours then throw them in the desiccant chamber. or that batch wasnt very potent.

Yeah Snip's right....SSRI's will seriously put a damper on your trip. You should go off your medication (unless your doctor is adamant about you staying on it) for about two weeks prior to tripping. Or, you could simply up your dose.

Ok thanks for all the help everyone. I took one more gram about 2.5 hours after initally taking the 2g, and still not a thing. Next time I'll use fresh instead of dried to take that element out of the equation, and try going off the SSRI's for a bit. I'm on a low dosage of the SSRI's and I'm shocked they kept me from tripping at all, but I'll keep trying. Again thanks everyone.

Just wait a week or two and try again with a higher dose would be my suggestion. Maybe even 4-5 grams. It's hard to judge these things with SSRI's in the picture though =/
