Set and setting. I myself can't set a date to trip, I may be down that day, or have anxiety. The build up to that date will most likely produce anxiety for me as it is. So, I have to spontaneously trip when I've been feeling good for quite some time with no burdens on my back. This increases the chances of having a good trip.

From a fellow tripper suffering from depression, I would say that you should be okay. Just ENSURE that you are not on one of your "Down Days" and also ensure that you dont have anything looming over you that may cause to you focus on it too much. Another good idea is to surround yourself with fellow trippers that you TRUST!! I cannot stress this enough. I have taken LSD countless numbers of times and the only 2 "Bad" trips I had were when I ran across someone who was shady and I didnt like or trust. (The other was when this girl started freaking out about writing 20K in bad checks) As soon as they left I was cool. Also dont over do it. 1-1.5 hits should be PLENTY to get you way fucked up and having a blast. Personally, my vote is still for shrooms. They are much cleaner and the high can be much more rewarding. (Although there is no real "substitute" for a balls to the wall blotter or window pane trip.)  Hope this helps! -Me

^^ I think thats the first time I have ever heard someone say LSD is cleaner than shrooms.
Personally, as a person who has minor depression and severe anxiety, I think shrooms are ALOT harsher, but it just shows how everyone is different 
As for tripping with depression...take some 5htp. Dont take a molly just to stay happy, it may not have the desired affect. Actually some of my worst trips have involved the use of MDMA, but so have some of my best. Now days when I trip its usually a candyflip anyways, but I still get moments of depression sometimes.
Just know yourself and know who you are with. I am always with my wife when I trip, and no drug will ever make me want to end my life or hurt myself when she is by my side.

is your depression because of chemical imbalance or is it because of mental stuff?
it's probably hard to tell the difference, but i believe that chemical imbalance in serotonin system is very uncommon.
i suggest a small dose of LSD (100mics) and 100 mins after take a small dose of MDMA (about 80-100mg)... do it alone so noone can distract you.
get some trippy ambient music (boards of canada, shpongle) ; go to an environment where nobody can reach you, cell phone off...
when high try this anti-depression excercise...
close your eyes & take a deep breath in... and slowly breath out. repeat 3 times... put your awareness in the center of your chest and not in your thoughts, and just let everything flow through that center... don't try to avoid "difficult" thoughts but don't put energy in negative thoughts.. if there's a difficult topic, just breath in breath out and focus your awareness in your center...
with a little bit of luck you will be healed from your depression, healing magic

It's all a matter of willpower. If you believe that you can handle it, and know deep down that you don't want to kill yourself, then you will be fine. If, on the other hand, you are comfortable with suicide and are normally inhibited (due to self-defense thought processes in your mind) from killing yourself, LSD might not be a good idea because you may be more inclined to find suicide acceptable. Although, if you have no intention to die, I really doubt you would feel inclined to kill yourself.
Remember, depression, anxiety, and all those troubling feelings are just in your mind - you can always meditate and think your way out of those thoughts.

I've done it on my down days before and it's turned it into an up day. Stay with good friends and smile a lot. I think you'll be fine especially since it's your first time. First time is special
