SSRIs + psychedelics

I'm assuming there have to be a few of you out there with experience with this combo. My girlfriend recently got put on prozac (20mg/day, i think). Anyway, she's never tripped before, but would really like to do so with me. I've been under the impression that SSRIs decrease the potency of psychedelics - but by how much? I.e. let's say i'd want her to eat 1/8 of mushrooms or 1 hit of acid, would one want to eat two, three times as much? same amount just to see because effects vary wildly?
Also, just from my vague knowledge of things it seems like MDMA could be unsafe on SSRIs but I haven't seen any info to support that idea. Any thoughts?

SSRI's are not neccessarily dangerous in combination but tend to almost negate the effects of hallucinagens.
As far as MDMA goes, im sure that could cause a seretonin syndrome but thats just my opinion.

so are we talking like an 8th of cubes = no noticeable trip, then?

idk man some other people on here might have had different experiences but i was on lexapro (an SSRI) at 20mg a day (the normal starting dose is 10mg) for like 9 months and I tripped just fine. Like literally I can't tell any difference from tripping before I started it, during, and after. 1/8th of shrooms or 2 hits of acid or whatever always fucked me up just the same as any other time.
YMMV, but it's certainly worth a shot, and for the first attempt I would recommend just giving her a normal dose (1/8 of shrooms or whatever she would take were she not on SSRIs).

It probably depends on the person in question, but a lot of people do report diminished ability to trip. Or at least that they need a higher dose.

My brother is on Prozac, and just dropped acid for the first time a while back. He took two hits.
He was tripping but didn't seem to be in it that much, he really just seemed agitated, like he got the mind thing going but not much else. He was convinced that no one knew what he was talking about ever. Thats what I mean I guess. He didn't think much happened and I don't think he could really tell he was tripping. He had been on it about a month I think, maybe a little more.
I wish I could attest to the strength of the acid since I bought two hits with him but one of my roomates threw it out. I put it in the freezer and someone thought it was garbage (it was on altoids in a baggy), so I was kinda pissed about that, more just because it was twenty bucks and I was gonna sell it to one of them probably... Anyway, it was probably decent he didn't get visuals really.
Like I said he just got kinda confused and agitated, probably thats just the way he is when he trips but you get my drift. Not much happened.
My suggestion would be just give her a normal dose, and see how it works out and if you need to increase it next time do so accordingly. But I wouldn't want to give someone a bunch of acid or shrooms thinking they aren't gonna work well and then the potency doesn't suffer much. I'd say play it safe, it may cost a little more but first timers doses aren't things I would fuck with much.
*edit jesus this post has shitty grammar, I'm sorry everyone I must be drunk or something

About a year ago i picked up a half ounce of shrooms. I took an eigth my friend took an eight and I sold the other two.
I tripped balls, some bomb ass shrooms, My friend says he didnt get any really noticeable visauls but had fun. I and everyone who took these tripped our asses off and he barely tripped and it was his first time tripping on anything, and I was used to eating qaurters. He takes lexipro now and used to take prozac or paxil.
That is my experience with this I say have her lay off on the meds for a while if she thinks she can do without them or it might be a waste

When I was one lexapro, I could take 5grams of shrooms and just be a little high. Like, high enough to make watching a movie interesting...
Then when I quit lexapro, and waited a few months, then tried shrooms again (from teh same batch) BAM! ....
YMMV though.
