SWIM is bipolar and taking a couple medications but doesn't want to have to cut off entheogen use if at all possible (though SWIM certainly will if it is the responsible thing to do due to the dangers of drug contraindications). SWIM is on 75mg Lamictal and 30mg Cymbalta. SWIM has done just about everything with the Lamictal and hasn't had any problems nor did SWIM hear of any in SWIM's pre-use research. However, Cymbalta is a different story. SWIM is interested if there would be an interaction between it and tryptamine compounds (DMT, psilocybin/psilocin, etc.) or LSD--in short, with other serotogenic drugs with which an SNRI or SSRI might interact.
SWIM understands that Cymbalta is an SNRI, which shouldn't cause problems as far as SWIM can tell, but someone has told SWIM that it is an SSRI as well and SWIM knows that taking SSRIs with any serotogenic compounds, among which are the included tryptamines and LSD, is dangerous in that it could instigate Serotonin Syndrome. SWIM can't confirm that Cymbalta is an SSRI in addition to an SNRI from SWIM's research.
SWIM's question is this: is Cymbalta an SSRI as well, and if not (and even if so), is SWIM putting SWIMself in any immediate chemical danger from the drug interaction? Or should SWIM still avoid tryptamines (especially DMT) and LSD even with an SNRI? SWIM can't find any information on Cymbalta and recreational drug use contraindications. Ugh!
Your help is deeply appreciated. Peace!
