I REALLY want to try shrooms soon but im scared that since i take Seroquel and Citalopram for minor social phobia (prescription from a doc), that there could be a negative reaction because of the medicine, can someone help me?

Not necessarily negative, but those prescriptions will make it nearly impossible to trip.

wow... minor social phobia... ASPD??? they gave you ceroquel and citalopram for that??? fuck my ass... i didnt get shit...
anyways, this is a touchy subject, its a fine line to walk, depends more upon opinion than fact, things like this... i would say ditch the anti psychotics... theyre no good for you... i would say do that if ojnly for better health, but it will be very hard for you to achieve any sorts of affects whilst your brain is soaked in SSRI's, so you would have to stop taking them

I don't know if there is any way to tell.
SSRI's usually take several weeks for their therapeutic effects to be felt. Presumably, this lag is due to the body's neurotransmitter and receptor systems making some type of "compensatory change".
I don't know how long it would take for someone to "go back to normal" after discontinuing an SSRI, but I would make a GUESS that 2 weeks is sufficient.
You will still have the matter of seroquel to deal with.
In this case you would probably have to discontinue two medications for a moderate amount of time. These are two medications which were prescribed to you for a reason. Considering your motive, I would advise against it, however I'm sure there will be plenty of responses after mine telling you to go for it.
