Giving Girlfriend Mushrooms; It's Her First Time

I'm not really sure if It's a good idea for her to trip...
She's 22 and has never tripped. She asked me the other day, "do you think we should eat mushrooms?" I said I'd give her some Carlos Castaneda to read I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea or not. I like her the way she is, it would be cool though if she could see what I see. I'm just not sure if it's a good idea, maybe it'll answer some of her questions, but it might mess up her thought process, or her memory. I don't want her to lose that vibrancy. She's already pretty nuts, and takes Effexor and I don't know about how anti-depressents interact with fungus. Anybody got some advice, holler --

I can't really imagine anybody having lasting trauma from a dose of around 1-1.5 grams. It's not like eating 5g, but its a good way to ease in and test the waters.
I'll leave discussion of medication/shrooms for others with more experience.
As for being nuts, mushrooms could definitely bring out problems... but I have found that people usually have issues if they are prone to anxiety related issues or schizophreniform issues.

Not to scare you away from letting her try (I think everyone should at least once) but my girlfriend tried some and had a bad trip. Now she doesn't like it when I trip and thinks i should stop.
I can't convince her that her experience was laced with oppurtunities for a bad trip (she'd been to the dentist that day, never been high before, thinks acid burns your brain, etc).
Regardless, best of luck to you both if she does try it...hope you two have fun

From personal experience I've found it can also work the other way, it all depends on her attitude. Get her to read this. A few experiences from erowid wouldn't go astray either.

Giving her material to read up on will help prepare her mentally for the experience. Not to mention the fact that it'll help her decide as to whether it's for her or not.
Whether she does this or not, the most important thing would be to start her off at a very low dose, nearly threshold, depending on her prior experience with substances.

"do you think we should eat mushrooms?"
The fact that she asked you for them seems like a good thing. If she is willing to try them, there's less of the chance of a freakout.
I'm not sure if you should give her weird books to read, I'd prefer you telling her about mushrooms, your own experiences and stuff. Then let her decide is she wants them or not.
Thing is, you have the opportunity to give someone you care a completely new experience. If you make sure she's well informed and ready for it, chances are you are going to have the time of your life.
Remember to stay by her side and when difficulties arise, love your way through them. I wish the best to you. 
(Also make sure his meds are not going to interfere with shrooms. I did some very quick research and all I could dig up is Effexor seems to decrease the effects of mushrooms. This of course doesn't mean you should up her dose.)
