So for the past week ive been on seroquel 300mg. ive skipped it a day or two, and i didnt take it last night. I know anti psychotics are serotonin blockers, so if i didnt take my dose last night would i be in the clear to trip? this is the last of my stash and i dont want to waste it
It's not really that it's dangerous, but it's a waste of mushrooms. Atypical antipsychotics such as Seroquel are 5-HT1A receptor antagonists (they hinder them). Tryptamines (such as the psilocybin in magic mushrooms) are 5-HT1A receptor agonists (they stimulate them). As you can see, they do the exact opposite of each other. They actually give you antipsychotics at the hospital to abort a trip. so I guess if you are on seroquel you would need to take alot more mushrooms, but in all honesty I just wouldnt waste my time.
Oh and obviously, if you are on antipsychotics, there has to be a reason for that so be responsible. If stopping seroquel will send you spiraling into psychosis, you shouldnt go off your meds, and you probably should not do psychedelics in the first place. Just saying, as a harm reduction thing..
if you had a bad trip you might take seroquel and it would completely stop it. Benzodiazepines are pretty good at aborting a trip also. Taking mushrooms while on seroquel would likely have no effect. If you took "too much" and just wanted it to stop or got scared you could take the seroquel i guess. I have tripped while being prescribed risperdal..worked fine just didnt take the risperdal the day i tripped...taking risperdal after tripping makes me completely sober in 1hr when the pill kicks in.
Yeah I think with benzos you keep tripping but it just sorta turns down the volume and take away some of the associated anxiety, but with antipsychotics it completely aborts it. I know I like to have them around when I'm planning to get into some mischief
I just got perscribed seroquel last week as a sleep aid. Im no longer taking it for the reason that it messes with my trips and rolls. if anything i can use natural sleep aids. i postponed my trip till next friday
I was prescribed that for sleep too lol. On top of 50mg paxil, 1mg clonazepam, and 0.5 ativan as needed. Some docs go crazy with the meds.
Gotcha. I'm guessing your off SSRI's altogether now if youre tripping successfully. Would you say it was worth it to take them for a while?
