Pre-2023 it was a commonly held belief by healthcare practitioners that there was a theoretical interaction between psychedelics and SSRIs that may cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially fatal reaction. However, the serotonin theory of action of antidepressants[1] and psychedelics is now under debate and there is now some empirical data to suggest that there is a weak interaction[2] or even no interaction[3].
