I searched the forums and read many threads on the topic of antidepressants and MDMA but nothing answered the question I have.
So after a long night of drinking yesterday I was offered some MDMA, 80% I was told. We crushed up the pills and snorted them. I also happen to be on Effexor an SSRI/SNRI and wasn't aware at the time of the possibility of this triggering serotonin syndrome. I'm on a relatively small dose of 75 mg once daily.
Today after a pretty bad come down that is still going on I have yet to take my regular effexor dose out of fear of causing the syndrome to happen. My question is would it be safe to now? Seeing as I took the E around 21 hours ago? If not when would you recommend I start taking my regular dose again? Effexor has extremely quick withdrawl symptoms ie a few hours after missing a dose so that's why I'm so concerned if I can be taking it or not.
Any help or advice at all would be appreciated. I've seen some places say serotonin syndrome is highly unlikely with SSRI's and MDMA and that it's only a worry with MAOI's but some places say the opposite, I'd like to be on the safe side here.
