the title pretty much explains it, if take an ssri, and 5-htp in the same day is there a risk of seratonin syndrome?

Uhh, duh?

possibly, even taken alone each pose a risk. However, I still take 5-htp daily

nope

and serotonin syndrome is weak sauce.

I eat what is basically a shitload of 5-HTP so I'm sure I'll wind up with it one day or another.

i tried 5-HTP for the first time yesterday with B6 to try and get my serotonin back up after waking up feeling like shit after eating 2 rolls... seemed to get me out of my excessively pissed off mood..

Absolutely no risk. And for the record, one SSRI won't do anything to you. It takes a couple of weeks for the serum levels to get high enough to have an effect. That's why antidepressants have a risk of suicide-- those two weeks of being helpless can fuck with you if you already broke down and tried to get help.

And serotonin syndrome was one of the stupidest drug-related things I did as a teenager. And I did a lot of stupid drug-related things.

That's why antidepressants have a risk of suicide-- those two weeks of being helpless can fuck with you if you already broke down and tried to get help.

not at fucking all. ssris can fuck with your serotonin and make you more depressed, thats why theres a risk of suicide. in my experience, they make you more depressed.

I was actually just gonna post a similar thread. Might as well ask it here.

I've been on the SSRI citalopram for three weeks for social anxiety disorder. Up until two days ago I was on 5mgs. Now I'm on 10mgs a day. The worst thing about these is that it can be dangerous to do with certain drugs.

I've read that mixing SSRI's with extacy is a waste of money because the e can't get to the receptors. I really like rolling. Can anyone offer me some insight or a solution? I'm hoping someone will tell me that my dosage is so low that it won't matter. I know that taking the SSRI after a trip can minimize neuro-toxicity. But I also know that it can cause serotonin syndrome. This kind of confused me. What exactly will happen to me if I were to roll? How would my trip be? Would I be putting my brain at risk (well a higher risk anyway)?

DXM is also off-limits because when combined with SSRI's it'll fuck up your liver. Correct?

I think my doctor also said that if I wear to say take acid now I'd get more bang for my buck and trip harder. Any truth to that?

I also need to know if it's dangerous to take with Adderal XR because the meds make me so sleepy and I was thinking I might start taking speed to counter act the drowsiness.

not at fucking all. ssris can fuck with your serotonin and make you more depressed, thats why theres a risk of suicide. in my experience, they make you more depressed.

SSRI's do fuck with your serotonin. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. That's exactly what is supposed to make you not depressed. I'm just going on the clinical shit, your own experiences may vary. If anything, when I was on SSRI's, I found the fact that I had to take them to be happy pretty depressing in and of itself.

basically dont do dxm, and dont bother with e. the only way to feel the effects of e is if you were to not take your celexa for like two weeks.

yea, i know about the dxm.;..GAHHh i miss downing a bottle and a half of good old tussin, and staying up all night dancing to techno and pondering whether i should kill myself just to see how cool the afterlife would be
