I have pretty bad anxiety and was just recently prescribed a TCA (tricylcic antidepressant), called Nortriptyline.
Does anyone have experiences with TCAs and psychedelics?
Will I be able to have psychedelic experiences following cessation of TCA use?
I was originally prescribed Zoloft, but I read that SSRIs inhibit psychedelic experiences (and posts on here somewhat concur), whereas TCAs can actually potentiate it (apparently). So, I decided in favor of a TCA. But I'm still worried about it. To be clear, I'm not using psychedelics while taking the TCA. At some point though, I want to get off the TCA and take psychedelics, but I am paranoid that using the TCA will permanently prevent me from having psychedelic experiences even following cessation of the TCA use. Who knows what it can do to you permanently? Can any of you comment on this?
