Combining Lamictal and Psilocybin

Lamictal is medication givin to people who suffer from seizures and bipolar disorder. A buddy of mine was just diagnosed with petite mal seizures and he has to take Lamictal once a day. Well, we just got some shrooms recently and we were planning to trip on my upcoming birthday. What I wanted to know was if there will be any negative side effects of combining the two substances.

lamictal is an SSRI. SSRI's will actually bring the trip down some so you should have no problem. Your buddy will probably have to eat more to get an equal effect as you. I'd give him a normal dose though and nothing more the first time just to be on the safe side.

Since Lamotrigine (Lamictal) is an anti-convulsant/epileptic medicine, it would just give you a more milder trip with not as much visuals, just like benzodiazepines do when used with psychedelics.
Some people are prescribed to it as an alternative to benzodiazepines in treating anxiety, the main reasons being that benzodiazepines are much stronger and have high potential for addiction. I have taken lamictal and tripped, and while it didn't "dull" the effects of the psychedelic I was using to the extent benzos do, you don't get the full ride.

At least we wont have to worry about him dying after eating them. That sucks that it brings the trip down a bit though, he wont be very happy to hear that. O well, will both still get to trip, thats what really matters.

i'm pretty sure that is incorrect. lamictal is not an SSRI.

Oops, thats right . Well, both SSRI's and mood stablizers like lamictal will slow a trip down.

I'm also on Lamictal, it isn't an S.S.R.I. It's used to treat primary and secondary tonic-clonic seizures,those associated with Lennox-Gaustaut syndrome, and also partial seizures. It acts as a mood stabilizer and is especially good for the depressive phase of Bipolar Disorder.

I've taken them while on Zoloft and flew to a new universe all the while suffering NO anxiety because of the Zoloft...
I'm off of the Zoloft and now on Lamotrigine and I hardly feel the effects at all when I take them...
I had to eat 11 grams the last time I did them...

Lamigtal's not an SSRI. SSRI's trigger manic episode if taken by someone who is bipolar.
