So, my brother keeps telling me he's heard that Mescaline works just fine while on SSRIs, but I have heard otherwise. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Regardless, I am upset because I have been on prozac for fucking 30 years and never realized till a few years ago that I should never have gotten on it in the first place and that psychedelics are so much better.
I do take shrooms sometimes, and I can get some effects, but they are always blunted, and I have some pretty terrible depression and anxiety which could really use the beneficial effects of an UNAFFECTED dose of a psychedelic.
Last month I took shrooms for probably like the 10th time in my life and all I got was 5 hours of DEEP despair. I guess they worked, but no visuals. Over the summer I did have a good trip on shrooms, some visuals, a few insights, but there's always the feeling that it's not what it could be.
I was recently watching some documentary where someone with horrible OCD tripped ONCE on shrooms and it was life changing and his OCD went away forever and he had all these blissful and incredible insights. Well, while i was in fucking despair on my last shroom trip I was wondering why someone with depression and anxiety like me couldn't be gifted such a beautiful life-changing experience as that guy, and the answer is obviously because a dumb doctor put me on prozac at age 14 and now I'm 43 and probably can't ever get off of it.
I mean, is it even REMOTELY safe for someone who has been on prozac for 30 years to EVER wean off? My doctor told me he doubted I could ever get off of it.
So yeah, I mean, if I ever wanted to take a quarter or more of shrooms or 5 hits of LSD (the most i've taken is 3 and I did trip) then MAYBE I'd get what I'm looking for, but I feel like I've been completely ripped off from being able to use REAL medicine for my condition.
What else, if not psychedelics, can really help a person like me with depression and anxiety who sees no way out and feels hopeless?
