So, I want to do psychedelics to help with my depression. I just got done with ketamine infusions. 6 in total. I loved the experience and I feel so much better. So I’m convinced psychedelics work. I’ve been depressed since I was a child. So I know it fucking works. And a looong time ago I did shrooms once and LSD a handful of times. So I kinda know what it’s all about.

Anyway, ketamine is apparently very safe for someone on antidepressants. I take 20 mg of lexapro a day. Along with lamictal for my bipolar moods. I REALLY want to try shrooms for my depression. My question is... was anyone a little freaked out taking psychedelics while on antidepressants? I keep seeing the words serotonin syndrome. And it’s a bad thing to mix psychedelics with lexapro. But it seems that some people do just fine. Does lexapro dull your psychedelic experience that much? That just seems annoying. It absolutely didn’t dull my ketamine trip.

I’m guess I just want to know if I’m in danger microdosing shrooms or LSD. Am I?

Ideally I’d like to microdose instead of taking fucking lexapro. Which I’ve been on for years. And I’m a bit nervous/freaked out that I’ll die from serotonin syndrome.

Any thoughts would be a tremendous help.
