Ok, so I know from personal experience that SSRIs fuck with trips and make them way less intense. I've been on Lexapro since 08/08 and since then have just taken short breaks (2-3 days) before I trip to minimize the negative effects of the SSRI. This has typically worked fairly well but the intensity of the trip has still been reduced. But, over the last semester the Lexapro stopped helping me so I was switched to 2 'atypical anti-depressants', neither of which is an SSRI or an MAOI. For the record they are Remeron (a piperazine) and Welbutrin XL (norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake inhibitor). After weaning down from 20mg a day to 10mg a day, tomorrow will be my last day taking Lexapro, so my question is, should either of the new medications, given that they generally don't act specifically on serotonin, affect tripping? Personal experiences as well as scientific theories are welcomed.
I can't see any reason why they wouldn't work since they don't act on serotonin. But I don't know for sure, wish I could be more help
well, if you look at your problem in the most basic form than no unless there is some sort of information you are neglecting to tell us accidentally. you should be straight, there should be no reason for them to fuck your trips up. good luck
That's what I've been thinking. Next week I'm going to test it by eating some mushrooms so I'll update this to how it goes for other people in the same situation.
