*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Cannabis]]''' - Cannabis has an unexpectedly strong and somewhat unpredictable synergy with the effects of psychedelics. Extreme caution is advised when using this combination as it can significantly increase the chances of a negative psychological reaction like [[anxiety]], [[paranoia]], [[panic attacks]], and [[psychosis]]. Users are advised to start off with only a fraction of their normal cannabis dose and take long breaks between hits to avoid over intake.
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Cannabis|[[Cannabis]]]]''' - Cannabis has an unexpectedly strong and somewhat unpredictable synergy with the effects of psychedelics. Extreme caution is advised when using this combination as it can significantly increase the chances of a negative psychological reaction like [[anxiety]], [[paranoia]], [[panic attacks]], and [[psychosis]]. Users are advised to start off with only a fraction of their normal cannabis dose and take long breaks between hits to avoid over intake.
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Stimulants]]''' - Stimulants affect many parts of the brain. Combined with psychedelics, stimulation can turn into uncontrollable [[anxiety]], [[Panic attacks|panic]], [[thought loops]], and [[paranoia]]. This interaction may result in an elevated risk of [[mania]] and [[psychosis]].{{citation needed}}
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Stimulants|[[Stimulants]]]]''' (''[[amphetamines]], [[cathinones]], [[cocaine]], [[phenidates]]'', etc.) - Stimulants affect many parts of the brain and alter dopaminergic function. Combined with psychedelics, stimulation can turn into uncontrollable [[anxiety]], [[Panic attacks|panic]], [[thought loops]], and [[paranoia]]. This interaction may result in an elevated risk of [[mania]] and [[psychosis]].{{citation needed}}
*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_(medication) [[UnsafeInteraction::Lithium]]]''' - Lithium is often prescribed as a treatment for bipolar disorder. It may possibly cause elevated risk of seizures and psychosis due to its [[Glutamate|glutaminergic]] and [[GABA|GABAergic]] effects.{{citation needed}}
