I was put in the hospital under the influence of an amphetamine and SSRI (escitalopram) yesterday night, although I consider myself very informant about drugs, more than the ordinary doctor is. Unfortunately I didn't research about the drug interaction too much.
Now I read that: SSRI - do sort of have an affinity on dopamine receptor - similar too serotonin, but too a lesser extent. And there's studys made which says that: SSRI does potentiate the effects of amphetamine in rats.
Fucking retard I am. I was convinced in my mind, that i was dead laying on that bed in hospital. My pulse was raising to 180/beats per minute for like 1 hour. Then it stabilized to 110/beats per minute for 8 hours. My body was numb. Cold feets and hands. Couldn't stand. Bloodpressure?
So I was feeling the high of the amphetamine in 18 hours!! Checked out with the same size of dialated pupils as I did when I arrived. I haven't read about that sort of thing anywhere.
Sure, it's labtested at 93% sulfate. The biggest misstake I made was that I never felt an "comfort high" of it, thats why I redosed hour to hour. But I never expected the SSRI to potentiate the effect that much. Heads up for these people. Not funny. I took a total of 150 mg oral, from 16:00 to 22:30. I took 40mg diazepam and 5 mg Zyprexa after the hospital to comedown.
Also here it says; you can get serotonin syndrome with Adderall and SSRI, even though it's very rare. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderal...nd_precautions
So what happend to me? Could i expect some bigger health issues? It wasn't pleasant. I feel good now, but I'm concerned about my heart. I have an OK stamina.
Also I'm tappering off the SSRI now. I've been on it for four weeks now. I can see what the drug does, and my main idea was that I was going to stabalize my serotonin levels. But now when they found out that I'm an ADD, and I can't use SSRI with Amphetamine, it is a very safe decision what to do.
Would like an input how dangerous was this event?
I remember one event which happend some years ago too, it was when combining weed with SSRI. I got a similar reaction, my heart started raising, I felt out of control, whole view was cloudy.
What the fuck are these nasty things called SSRI?
A suspicion I came up with, SSRI does regulate mood. Maybe it does regulate the heart frequency too? In order to regulate to mood, like the betablockers do? Anyhow, I will never put these things inside of me ever again.
