Do SSRIs permanently affect drug usage?

Hi! I've browsed this site for years but this is my first time posting.

So from middle school to the end of high school I've been on a lot of different SSRI's including abilify, lexapro, and for the longest time, cymbalta. Senior year I did LSD and psilocybin mushrooms I think three times each but I would stop my meds for a week before. When I did these drugs I always had a great time but it didn't seem as strong as how the other people felt. Now, I tried LSD again after not being on SSRIs for about a year. When I did this I definitely was not in the same mindset as my friends who are also familiar with LSD. They had very intense trips that left them unable to talk or move really, whereas I hardly felt like I was tripping!
So my question is, is this because of my SSRIs even though I've been off them for so long? If so, I'm doing MDMA soon (I've done it once before and had the most euphoric experience but unfortunately I don't remember how much I took since it was last year) so does that mean I should take more than a normal .15 g dose? Thank you!
