I'm compiling a FAQ on antidepressants and recreational (including pharmaceutical) drugs, and I would like to know if any of you have every found that being on an antidepressant has had any interaction with/effects on drugs that you use? Do you have troubles getting high/find it easier to get high on a particular antidepressant?
I am NOT asking about MDMA or psychedelic drugs; I am asking specifically about drugs that apply to this forum, including alcohol.
 
I just started to take wellbutrin and have found that a coke high (snorted or injected) has a lower peak, but lasts a bit longer. I feel that I get more of a body buzz. Meaning, overall it's much more mild, but still enjoyable.
Oh, and I don't know whether to attribute this to the wellbutrin or the cocaine (though it's been from the same source since I've started taking wellbutrin) or maybe a combination of both, but there's definately a larger sexual component to my highs.

Hey there- I have been on an SSRI called Celexa for the about a year...maybe a little more (actually i just got off of it). SSRIs tend to screw up your roll...the first 3 times i tried x, i was not able to roll...even at higher dosages i could only feel some of the mild effects (some tactile enhancement). Also, Celexa made my tolerance for alcohol much smaller. I got drunk easily, sober faster than most people, and i never had a hangover.
 
im on paxil, and for the "high period" (the first 3 weeks you feel mildly like yer rolling), every time i drank, it increased the buzzed out feeling for a while, but ended up going away totally when i got drunk. It also seems to have lowered my alcohol tolerance a bit. also seemed to make meth seem less euphoric, although the stim effects werent lessened at all.
