Is it safe to take 2c-t-7 while on an SSRI?

[hypernovax]

I got prescribed paxil recently and only took 10mg a day for 2 days so far...

Is it safe to use 2c-t-7 in my case or just while on an SSRI in general?

The mechanism that produces the psychedelic and entheogenic effects of 2C-T-7 is most likely to result from action as a 5-HT2A serotonin receptor agonist in the brain, a mechanism of action shared by all of the hallucinogenic tryptamines and phenethylamines.[4]

I'm not sure about this, but I think that it would be best to stop taking the Paxil for a week or more before taking 2C-T-7 due to the fact that they both have serotonergic action. You're certainly better safe than sorry.

Nope.

2c-t-7 seems to inhibit monoamino oxidase (MAOI), SSRI's + MAOI's could cause serotonin syndrome. Also SSRI's tend to reduce the affects of psychs, requiring higher dosages - the MAOI property of t-7 won't however decrease, so by raising the dose you would be increasing the first risk.
