Ok... I have decided to work with Ayahuasca for a while as I believe it holds some of the keys to true healing for me. From depression/anxiety, some substance abuse etc. I have been off antidepression meds for a while now in oredr to work with the plant medicine. I know most of them don't mix well with aya, esp TCAs and SSRI's. It has been a hellova difficult managing without antis and I am looking for something that will work and won't be dangerous as I pursue the aya. I had some success with Tianeptine in the past, but see that it has been mentioned in some places as being a no no with aya. Being that it is an SSRE and appears to work with the opposite mechanism of an SSRI I don't understand why they can't be combined? I have heard of one person who has been combining them without incident, but I want to know why they are not supposed to be mixed.
Can any of the chemically enlightened let me know why? Also, I know Tianeptine has a short life in the body...can I just not take it the day of and day after I do the aya? Any thoughts? Thanks
