Also they excluded people using benzodiazepines, SSRIs and MAOIs. I've taken mushrooms while on SSRIs and the trip is usually severely dampened.
- matthewcford 7y agoSo was it a high dose they were given? and is that pure psilocybin?
- matthewcford 7y ago> dose of synthetic psilocybin
- bloopernova 7y ago> excluded ... SSRIs Well, crap. I imagine it will be a few more years yet before I'm able to take a tiny dose. I'm a week in to taking Lexapro on top of Cymbalta, which I've been taking for over a year, and I'm hoping I can get some good results. Or at least even things out enough that I can tackle things enough to feel a little better and less anxiety.

- rhcom2 7y agoIn my experience the hallucinogenic effects are diminished but for me at least I still get a nice feeling of calm and well being. Usually the visuals are limited to a "shimmery" effect on clouds and trees, sometimes with some color but very mellow. This is not medical advice. There are cases of serotonin syndrome from the combination of SSRIs and mushrooms. Use caution.
- bloopernova 7y agoThank you. Especially for mentioning serotonin syndrome. I've had supposed pain specialist doctors give me a half-dozen serotonin-affecting drugs, and then get aggrieved and hurt when I ask about serotonin syndrome. I've had something approaching it one night, and it was a terrible experience that I never, ever want to repeat.
