Mental Health What antidepressant can I go on and still be able to roll?

[mightyhedgehog]

I posted this in another subforum but so far haven't gotten many responses. I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here and I understand if it gets removed.

I currently take:

quetiapine/seroquel XR: 150mg per night
sertraline/zoloft: 100mg per night
alprazolam/xanax: 0.25mg as needed or 1mg as needed (I've never needed to take 1mg because the quetiapine works better than other antipsychotics I was on at the time and my psychiatrist prescribed the 1mg as a "break glass in case of emergency" thing while I was making the switch to quetiapine)

So I've been able to successfully roll on MDMA while on quetiapine but now that I've added sertraline I cannot roll anymore. I found the thread about different antidepressants and their interactions with various recreational drugs and it said that SSRIs pretty much nullify the effects of MDMA which is what happened with me.

So, I would like to know what antidepressant I could switch to so that I can still enjoy MDMA. I've looked into bupropion/wellbutrin but since the quetiapine already increases the risk of seizures I'm kind of scared to add bupropion. I'm not prone to seizures at all, I've never had one in my life and I have no known family history of seizures or related disorders, so I don't really know how risky it is to combine these prescriptions for me. Is it a concern if I'm not prone to seizures? I also know that MAOIs are a big no-no with pretty much any other drug so obviously I'm not going to look at those. I want to get high, not die.

Anyway, I'm only looking to change my antidepressant, I like quetiapine, I've tried like 6 or 7 other antipsychotics and quetiapine is the only one that works for me with minimal side effects. So I'm only looking to switch out the sertraline for something I can still party on. Also, please do not tell me to stop recreational drug use until I can get off the meds. I know it's sound advice, I know I'm being reckless because I want to continue using party drugs while on medications for mental health disorders. I know what I'm doing is bad. Shame on me. I want to get high every now and then, I'm sure most of you can empathize with that.

So tell me, what antidepressant have you been able to roll successfully on?

We're not allowed to encourage you to get the ultimate high, but there are some antidepressants that are not SSRI's out there.

Wellbutrin worked for me, and i am not sure how it works with MDMA, but if you are looking for a non SSRI maybe it's worth a shot to ask your doctor about alternatives.

Good luck, have fun, be safe, but i'm going have to close this thread because of my first sentence.
