I Need Advice ASAP!!!!

Hi there everyone I have a question...I have done mushrooms before, but it hasn't been for a few years now. Since then, I have been put on medication for bipolar disorder. I take lithium(mood stabilizer), wellbutrin(anti-depressant), and a little bit of nozinan(sleeping pill) It is Monday today and my friend and I plan on tripping Friday night. I stopped taking all of my meds yesterday just in case I do decide to ingest, but I wanted to ask around first, has anyone ever been on these type of drugs and was able to trip safely on mushrooms? Because if it is going to be dangerous, then obviously I am not going to do it. But I wanna check, maybe I can trip? Thanks for listening

It is dangerous. Friendly advice: Don't try it. =)

I don't know if you should trip on those drugs, but I DO know that it's a bad idea to stop taking these kinds of medications suddenly.
You might find yourself in much worse condition for the trip because you won't be medicating your bi-polar, for instance.
GENERALLY, it's not a good idea for anyone with severe inbalances to use psychedelics... but I also recognize that me saying this probably isn't going to stop you.
So I'll say this: if you are stable WITH your meds, and it can be verified as safe to dose while on them, you might be better off staying on them.
Hopefully someone with more experience with these drugs can make a recommendation.

First off, you should be commended for being open to suggestions and advice. So many people come here asking for advice, only to turn it down if it isn't what they want to hear. That alone means the mushrooms may not have as negative an effect on you as some others with similar disorders.
However, like the others say, it could be seriously mentally damaging- especially after stopping that sort of medication... but it could also be a beautiful and profound experience. You won't die...

I wouldn't worry about wellbutrin... the sleep-aid is PROBABLY fine too. It's the Lithium I would watch out for.
I don't know how dangerous it is... but from what I understand, the danger is psychological and not physical.

Thanks I like hearing that....I was worried that the meds would interact with the mushrooms in my blood. I have been 'stable' for a while now, and over the years I've occationally missed about a week's worth of meds straight(didn't have $ for prescription) and I wasn't left messed up from being without for a week, so that's ok there. I also know I'll have a good trip, I have done mushrooms many times, never a bad trip. Cool I'll let you guys know how it goes!

ok well everything that im seeing through research on the net sugest you should be fine keep taking your meds. lithium has alot of drug interactions but mostly with drugs that alter the ph and mineral content of your blood/urine. and also drugs that weeken the liver aswell as caffine should be avoided. fortunatly psilocybin is not any of those drugs. asfar as contridiction to the sleep aid well i dont think youll be needing that on friday night=P. also it doesnt apear that your welbuterin will interact. the important thing is dont take mushrooms on an SSRI atleast thats my personal feeling. Maois potentiate the mushroom experence and thats the other main type of antidepresant so dosing should be limited. however welbuterin does apear to be either of those things so i think your good to go. my recomendation. dose small and work from there.

Indeed.. Neither Wellbutrin nor Lithium are MAOIs or SSRIs, so I think you should be safe physically as well.

good luck and happy trippin! hope it goes well for you and your first timer...
lol i tripped with a whole group of first timers, i was supposed to be the one who was experienced and leading and all that, then when i started my trip i somehow forgot everything about anything i ever knew. i mean everything, my name, their names, everything i know about drugs... at one point i had to ask someone what i took and what i should be expecting. i did my best to hide it from my buddies to keep them from havin a bad trip but it was actually pretty bad for me. it was strange anytime one of them had a question for me i could give them the right answer but i couldnt answer any of my own questions. but anyways, this got long on me, have fun!
