Opioids How to use low dose opioids if I am taking antidepressants and sleeping pills ? LF harm reduction

[rainofthehour]

It's my first time trying any opioids ever and I had been yearning for it for ages. Finally got my hands on RC's ODSMT tramadol analog and IC-26 methadone analog.
I'm so nervous, scared of the nausea, scared of the unknown, but have been craving it like hell hoping I can get any kind of euphoria from it, opioids were my dream drugs, I was drawn to the bliss people describe when using. I just wanted to taste it and feel pleasant. Something I don't feel enough of.
But I am on quite a bit of psychiatric meds.
My friend warned me about serotonin syndrome but said it should be fine at a low dose.
I take 100mg trazodone at night before sleep, and 10mg citalopram (ssri).
What are some things I should know?
I think there's no way that I won't be taking these drugs but I just wanted to know what I can do to reduce harm.
Should I stop taking antidepressants for some time before trying? I am not sure if that's going to put me into withdrawal....
Harm reduction tips needed.
[Btw I've snorted some DMXE and done weed in the past which apparently also interacts with serotonin receptors but I was fine] ~Maybe that info will be helpful and optimistic?
Thank you

The meds your currently on shouldn't interfere with any opioids so you should be fine, just start with a low dose first and work your way up.

opioids are a god-send to depressed or mentally ill. however they will consume you faster for this reason. there is a warning label.

if you do open this door, start slow. 2-3 times per week and never 3 days in a row.

trust me I have heard everyone say "I can do this once a month no problem." every month it doubles, by the end of the the year it is every day and within 2 years they have track marks. The brain will no longer be pleased with the oral or snorting route. it is just how the cookie crumbles.

the more money you have the worse. a rich junkie never gets clean. a poor junkie has a better chance at getting clean.

I mean I want to move to India and work on a poppy farm. In the abundance of water the fool is thirsty. I am a fool I suppose in one way or the other

I was prescribed trazodone (then lunesta), cymbalta, and oxy 15s at the same time. As well as a few other things. I would advise you to be very careful going down this path. I've always known opioids would be the thing to get me so I never went down that path. I've never shot anything. I've only taken them as prescribed. I was only prescribed enough for 2 weeks a month. I would go thru withdrawal every month until I decided it was absolutely insane what I was putting myself thru. I told my Dr I wanted to stop taking them. And that was that. If it's euphoria you want to feel, find another way. I mean if you've ever gotten pain meds injected at the hospital, that's the cleanest high you'd probably get. It doesn't last long. Really, it's not worth it. You want to feel the good that you've heard described but have you heard the bad? Do you have a realistic sense of what you could possibly be putting yourself thru?

I take 6 meds daily that can bring on serotonin syndrome. Cold medicine can bring it on. Anything that increases serotonin can bring it on. In my opinion, that's not really what you should be worried about.

Dont mix tram wth ssri's

Those low doses shouldn't be an issue, however the seizure risk gets higher mixing SSRIS with Tramadol (as they share a common mechanism of action). Methadone isn't known to be particularly euphoric, but does help lift up the mood.

Yeah don't mix Tramadol with any SSRI/SNRI otherwise your flirting with SS.

Quit while you're ahead

U play with fire. Tramadol ( even drug information papers inside pill box mention, Its basicaly just sorotonine releaser and NRI but active opioid drug u take Is O-DSMT). It lasts quite long and affinity to mu receptors is like that of Oxycodone, some research results even resulted in O-DSMT having slightly better affinity.
Its horribly addictive and WD Is crazy.
In low doses no need for anticonvulsants. Your doses of antidepressants are low and citalopram actually goes nice with it in low dose.
