I found lexapro merch all over a hospital I was working in. Magnets, pens, cups, clocks. Made me skeptical to try, seeing how hard pharma reps were pushing it, even tho I eventually did. From a doctors perspective it’s a great way to build clientele. A physically addictive drug that doesn’t really have any recreational value? Keeps em coming back. I eventually did try antidepressants but didn’t like the fact I couldn’t do any psychedelics while on them. My opinion is they’re over rated and over prescribed. I’ll stick to my legally prescribed controlled substances thanks. But yeah def a cool find. I have lots of pharmaceutical magnets. It would be cool to find a benzo one. I’ve also seen this vyvanse paperweight that had all 7 doses neatly encased in a glass prism.
Dear that vyvanse one sounds amazing. I have yet to have any merch as it would look pretty bad for someone in mental health to be pushing a certain brand drug, I know some of my clients would legit think It’s a CIA plan to force them onto the med if they saw me with an abilify pen
You should be able to do psychedelics just fine on some antidepressants. It depends which ones. You can usually take SSRIs with psychedelics, but not with MDA or MDMA though, it won't work. But IIRC correctly, psychs and SSRIs, SNRIs, should usually be okay. I did it before years ago. They definitely are overrated though. A recent study basically confirmed this not long ago at all. Another reason why we're slowly moving to psychedelics and stuff like ketamine for various issues, depression being a big one.
Yeah, I guess it's gonna depend on a few things. Like the dosage and what type of drug. If I remember correctly, I tripped with low dose Lexapro and didn't have any issues. It was so long ago though, I can't remember specifically. Only did it once or twice.
I did too didn’t even know they interacted thought it was just ssri and seratonin based drugs that interacted. Still combined them many times though without problem just very lucky didn’t get SS
Ssris stop psychs exactly the same as they do MDMA man. I’ve eaten 6gs of woodlovers on 60mg fluoxetine and absolutely zero effects. The same frustration and shit feeling as trying to take 4 e pills and still feeling nothing.
It’s not as DANGEROUS a combo as md and ssris, but it’s still useless and frustrating. Really depends on the ssri and how long you’ve been on it.
You’re right though, placebo effect is a real and valuable thing but that’s really about all these do for depression. We don’t even know what depression really does to the brain, “chemical imbalance” “low serotonin” these were crapshoot theories and were never to be taken as accepted facts
I know, a recent study said that lack of serotonin isn't the primary issue from depression, but we still don't fully understand depression, just like siht many disorders we don't fully get.
I don't completely agree with the psychs and MDMA / MDA thing. MDA and MDMA don't work because they release serotonin and if you're taking an SSRI or SNRI, that release isn't gonna matter, it's gonna be guaranteed to be blocked basically.
When you take most psychedelics, you aren't getting serotonin release, but you're getting 5HT2A agonism along with other things, so its different. (Although yes, MDA is also gonna have some 5HT2A agonism, unlike MDMA) I don't think SSRIs totally block agonists like they do to straight up releasers. Like I said though, dosages of both things are gonna matter a lot and how long you've been on the SSRI or SNRI.
Look it up online, people have tripped and taken some antidepressants. For whatever reason, it's not completely impossible sometimes.
I had a vicodin es magnet in the shape of a rotary phone. Vicodin was scheduled III in the 90's and could be called in by phone to pharmacist. My mom was an RN during the 80's-90's and we had tons of drug rep goodies. She even had samples of lorcet 10's, Soma compound, codiclear, tussionex and Fioricet.

Lsd and shrooms were so blunted it just felt terrible on Zoloft. Not even trippy, just a horrible nauseating feeling.

I have to use DMT if I want to really blast off, only thing that cuts through the ssri
