In reply to Luvox/BuSpar/Enada-- dissociative flashbacks??, posted by Ame Sans Vie on February 5, 2003, at 5:23:42
> This is actually something I noticed with my first 100mg dose of Luvox two nights ago-- I would walk from my well-light room, through the pitch black living room, to get to the bathroom on the other side of the house. When I would suddenly flip on the lights, everything took on a 'liquid', 'trailing' effect-- as if I'd dosed on dextromethorphan (Robitussin). Now I haven't been stupid enough to trip on cough syrup in years, but I thought these brief little glimpses into a time when I *was* so stupid were actually pretty cool. Many former (and current) hallucinogen users refer to these as 'free trips' :-) Oh, dextromethorphan, by the way, is the only active ingredient in Vicks 44 Cough and Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough and in doses of 200-1500mg is a dissociative anesthetic; similar to PCP and ketamine, but nothing like either.

> Anyways, I also take BuSpar (15mg tid) and Enada (5mg bid). Last night I was out with some friends and smoked a blunt, actually mainly because my stomach was so overturned from the Luvox... the stuff makes me nauseus as hell-- the visual flashbacks started immediately. I was once again fully immersed in the DXM experience. It was enjoyable, but it lasted until the high wore off. Very, very strange....

> I know dextromethorphan is somehow serotonergic, as taking it with an MAOI can produce serotonin syndrome. And I know 5-HT is indicated often in the action of hallucinogens/psychedelics. DXM, btw, also happens to be the reverse isomer of levomorphan, a high-potency opioid.

> Anyone with any experience/insight here? Anyone experience anything like this with Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac, Effexor, Zoloft...?

SORRY to butt in Michael .... But why not use Licorice Root or Ginger Root for the nausea and lack of appetite.. or perhaps Compazine would be stronger.. YOU need to eat great food to recover,, buddy,, so Appetite and exercise are KEY aspects to this depression thingI would Avoid POT like the Plague!
