SSRI and psychedelics
From BurnZero
Many of the subjective and biological effects of classical psychedelics are blocked after administering 5HT2AR antagonists such as ketanserin.[1][2] This leads to the potential for serotonin syndrome and a decrease in subjective psychedelic effects. However, there is no empirical data on the interaction between psychedelics and antidepressants, and whether this raises the risk of serotonin syndrome.
