> Can it be dangerous to take illicit drugs while taking an SSRI? Specially ecstasy which action is related to serotonin release. I may want to try some securely some time (thatīs why I am looking for information). What if I canīt do it and someone put something in my drink?
I am not sure about the SSRI / illicit drug interaction. From my experience (with speed, e, dope, nos, LSD, mushrooms, and opiates I don't think I have ever had a particularly harmful interaction. I like to think of it as concentrating all that enjoyment and happiness into the space of the high - so you will feel a bit down for a couple of days as the body replenishes its supply of the neurotransmitters; but that is the considered cost of the high (in my opinion). It may be too much for someone who is prone to intense depression, though, and I have had to go to hospital for a bit of time out as I have gotten severely depressed for a couple of days following a bit of a binge.
Would be interested to hear others thoughts on this...
