tricyclic antidepressants and the effects of LSD

[Akatosh86]

hello everyone, I haven't posted anything on this forum for a while.

anyway, I'm a 23-year old male currently residing in Central Europe (though originally hailing from one of the former Soviet republics). I'm affected by Asperger Syndrome and the lack of empathy and expressing emotions have been a huge issue with me for my whole life. guess it was what brought me to things like MDMA and LSD

anyway, its been three years since I started experimenting with psychedelics and this year has been the year of acid proper. I'm taking a tricyclic antidepressant anafranil that seems to have a reputation of not going well with lysergic things. what's your suggestion, what are the risks except the possibility of a bad trip?

Lithium or tricyclics (like Amitriptyline, Anafranil, Asendin, Aventyl, Elavil, Endep, Norfranil, Norpramin, Pamelor, Sinequan, Surmontil, Tipramine, Tofranil, Vivactil) are fairly consistently reported as being very bad in combination with LSD. People attempting this combination are unable to communicate with others, they go into "fugue states" where they end up in other places and don't know how they got there, and they are generally in a terrible place psychologically. Life-threatening seizures and at least one DEATH have been reported to be triggered by the combination of LSD and lithium.
