Hi Bluelighters,
I'm really interested in experimenting with psychedelics, but have put it off for years because I suffer an anxiety disorder (OCD), which is controlled very well with SSRIs (100mg sertraline) daily.
I occasionally take a 2mg alprazolam if I have a panic attack , but I only take them sparingly now due to a prior 15 year dependence . Finally beat the benzo withdrawls using Cannabis , so now can take the occasional alprazolam and it actually works now (definitely not tempted to go back to regular use! )
Anyway enough of my medical history 8) , what I'm looking into is whether psychedelics are contraindicated with SSRIs , and have they been known to damage serotonin receptors or anything like that ?
I'm also looking for advice on how to get started with hallucinogens. . . Like , what would be a good starting point ? I have long been extremely interested in DMT and the [FONT=Roboto-Regular, HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif]Ayahuasca ritual , and am generally very interested in altered states of conciousness, whether it be through meditation, sensory deprivation or substances . . . And I'm keen to explore this other world.
Looking forward to any advice and discussion to hopefully help me safely experience psychedelics [/FONT]
