acid/shrooms + depression medications?
Q.Its a lot more complicated than that. Below is something I wrote last year for another group which explains what happens, and can happen even with the very first dose.
A.This is complete bullshit. MDMA, used in psychiatric circles, has had many wonderful results. There's no evidence that MDMA has caused any psychotic illness, or emotional disorders other than temporary depression the week after using it, and a limited number of anxiety disorders related to PTSD. Short-term depression the week after is relatively common; long- term depression or panic disorder is rare. Really, mixing in common problems with uncommon ones is misleading. People with existing mental problems take more of these drugs that the average person. Partly this can be an attempt at self- medication; MDMA and the serotonin antidepressants have some common actions, indeed MDMA has been called an "instant antidepressant" (not that I would recommend it for this, but some people use it this way, consciously or unconsciously). People would much rather blame their mental problems on some drug they took (or other external factor), instead of accepting the fact that they have an intrinsic mental problem. The occasional psychotic reactions from MDMA are generally the result of the emergence of unremembered, traumatic (often abusive) childhood episodes. MDMA and the psychedelics tend to be "mind-loosening"; someone with a lot of internal contradictions or repressed childhood problems may find the drug opens the door to this material. This is also one reason these drugs are useful in a therapeutic context. Beyond that, for MDMA there are simple test kits available from several sources (one is www.dancesafe.org) which can easily distinguish MDMA from meth; their earlier test kit had similar reactions with MDMA and DXM (a common substitute drug), but DanceSafe just released a new test reagent which makes this distinction easier. You know acetaminophen (Tylenol) causes permanent liver damage at higher doses, or even moderate doses for some people with impaired liver function. But millions of people use it without this damage, at lower doses. By your reasoning, it makes no difference what dose people use it at, since permanent damage can occur. The dose at which MDMA starts to cause axon loss is very important!
