So ive been on antidepressants for the last 6 months or so (currently on 150mg of venlafaxine). I understand that the effect of mushrooms probably will be muffled. I have B+ strain that i intend to take for meditation and introspective purpose. The most ive ever used was 1,75g of Golden teacher and had a blast but that was before i was on antidepressants (im F, 110lbs/50kg). Also used about 0,5g for meditation before and i had very mellow but not trippy experience. So my question is, should i stick to lower dose (0,5-1g) or up the dose cuz of the meds (1-1,5g)? Anyone with experience of using shrooms while on antidepressants? Thanks xx

Update: i think ive just experienced ego death lmao (might post trip report later)

Perhaps its because of the people in my social bubble, but it seems as everyone nowadays claims to have had fucked up childhood.

Ive been on venlafaxine for half a year and it suits me pretty well when it comes to handling depression and anxiety but i have a long term struggle with motivation and generally the willpower to do important stuff (job, tasks, taxes etc). Ive just received results for ADHD/ADD assessment and they came back negative. I was hoping to be put on adhd medication but if i cant, id like to consider different antidepressant that can help me with my motivation. I found articles about bupropion being an alternative for adhd medication, stating it should help with energy and motivation. Does anyone have similar experience to mine who can share any info? Important context - i am officially diagnosed with BPD so i am neurodivergent. Personally i feel like my brain just doesnt produce enough dopamine or whatever. Any advive is appreciated
