anti-depressants and speed

[ute]

im currently taking anti-depressants in the form of the SSRI Luvox. I have read comments about possible harmful interactions between speed and anti-depressants. does anyone no anything about this?

Sure.....
Think about the actions of the two drugs....
one causes a realse of seratonin and the other blocks the uptake. hence too much seratonin. They work together in very moderate dosages , but when you get into recreational levels it wise to limit your use of meth while taking an SSRI. If that is possible.

as far as I know, amphetamines causes serotonine release only at large doses, and only in moderate amounts.
I have done this combo a couple of time with no ill effects. It's probably a bit more neurotoxic, but there shouldn't be any serious interaction between the two.

Agreed. I've been on a number of antidepressants and tweaked on all of them...just fine. It's not quite as good as when you are off the meds, but it still works! And it's still fun, you still get that rush.
