I only took rexulti as a test by my doctor to see if it would help my mood and it's giving me weight gain and he advised me if weight gained happened to stop because I was on abilify a long time ago and started having too many problems with my weight. So if Rexulti was stopped, paxil wouldn't be a issue?If you were only taking Paxil, I'd say you would be okay to take LSD. But since Rexulti is a serotonin dopamine activity modulator, you would likely have a problem tripping. It's not a good idea to go off your meds but it's a good thing that you asked so you can be safe. I don't know enough about this drug to properly advise you so I'm going to move this to Psychedelic Drugs.
Paxil and Rexulti are both SLRI's
The interaction with SSRIs varies. Plenty of people report barely being able to trip, or not being able to trip fully, even with higher doses. Some people report no interaction, and some report only a slight decrease in potency.
But yeah the antipsychotic will stop a trip dead.
I may want to get off it, I'm not sure yet honestly. I've read antipsychotics almost completely block psychedelics. So that's why I'd want to. I just want the microdosing to be effective.I really am not sure. Some people report not much interaction, and some people report that it's much harder to trip. Microdosing isn't the same as tripping though. There's no danger in microdosing while on it, so maybe give that a try before getting off a prescribed medication. I don't think it's worth getting off a prescription for the sake of microdosing, unless you want to get off of it anyway, microdosing or not.
Oh no, I don't mind sharing at all. Dang , well that's a bummer then. I can talk to my doc, but I can almost guarantee with him being a research institute psychiatrist he won't go for it... which is disappointing. So I'll probably just try it anyway. I actually don't 100% know why I'm on Rexulti. I think it's to help the WellButrin XL and the Rexulti helps me with my nervous tics of clearing my throat and popping my neck. I have a history of depression/anxiety if that helps you any. The tics maybe I could get under control perhaps with microdosing is my theory... and if that makes me happier than prescription pills ... it's a route I'd like to explore.Oh my bad, I thought it was an SSRI, I didn't remember what the thread was about when I replied. Yeah the antipsychotic will probably just totally block it. Use caution getting off the antipsychotic... talk to your doctor about it, is my recommendation. Why are you on it, unless you don't want to share? The answer to that question probably determines whether it's a good idea to get off of it or not.
Yeah I wouldn't doubt a lot of people have tics. I think a lot of us do . Mine just drive me insane sometimes lol. Do you mind me asking how they are nasty drugs? I'm very green with knowing the details/effects behind a lot of the medicine I'm on. I've been on medicine for a decade + , but am green around the edges on a lot of it. A taper most likely indeed would be the case I think too.That makes sense. I have throat and knuckle popping tics, I just consider it a part of myself. I can stop them if I focus on it... I think a lot of people have stuff like that. Antipsychotics are kind if nasty drugs. If you don't think you should be on it, you do have the right to discontinue it, but it will probably have to be a taper from what I understand.
Damn. Makes you wonder why I'm on it at all, lol. I'll say this, it definitely does help... I'm just not sure at what cost. I think microdosing shrooms would be safer, honestly.Some of them can cause tardive dyskenesia, which is a disease related to dopamine damage, causing uncontrollable muscle movements, which is permanent. This is not a given by any means, of course, but a risk. They are dopamine antagonists, so they make it much harder to feel emotions and make some people feel like zombies. There is a huge issue with people medicated on them, often people with serious disorders such as schizophrenia who really need medicating, preferring life without them even though they experience psychosis, because they feel so braindead and apathetic on them. Of course, a really small dose might not have the same negative side effects. Just in general I feel (and many others do too) that they should only be used if absolutely necessary.
