Prozac. I've read numerous studies/articles suggesting that taking Prozac 4-6 hours after your roll will greatly reduce the neurotoxic effects of e. I just roll as I normally would (usually about 2 pills a night), then after about 4 or 5 hours after my first pill, I pop a Prozac. I continue to roll as if I had not taken anything besides e.
Also, Prozac has a relatively long half-life, so it stays in, and has affects on, your body for a while. This is both a positive and a negative.
Positive: Since Prozac negates the effects of e, it controls my e use to no more than once every three weeks or so.
Negative: Since Prozac negates the effects of e, it limits my e use to no more than once every three weeks or so.
I've rolled once maybe 4-6 days after I took Prozac and felt *very* little from the pill. And I know those pills were not weak.
Does anyone know if it is safe to take 5-htp or Sam-e the days after taking Prozac? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that taking that combination could potentially result in seratonin syndrome. Has anyone done it? Since I only take Prozac once after my roll, I still get e-pression. Prozac, I believe, doesn't help you produce seratonin, but only helps you keep the seratonin levels you already have by blocking seratonin reuptake sites (hence, it is a SSRI). I was wondering if it was safe to take something that boosted seratonin levels along with Prozac.
