Template:DangerousInteractions/Psychedelics
- Lithium - Lithium is commonly prescribed in the treatment of bipolar disorder. There is a large body of anecdotal evidence that suggests taking it with psychedelics significantly increases the risk of psychosis and seizures. As a result, this combination is strictly discouraged.
- [[UncertainInteraction::Cannabis|Cannabis]] - Cannabis has an unexpectedly strong and unpredictable synergy with the effects of psychedelics. Caution is advised with this combination as it can significantly increase the risk of adverse psychological reactions 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]] (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, thought loops, and paranoia. This interaction may result in an elevated risk of mania and psychosis.[citation needed]
- [[UnsafeInteraction::Tramadol|Tramadol]] - Tramadol lowers the seizure threshold[1] and psychedelics may act as triggers for seizures in susceptible individuals.[citation needed]
