I've just started taking Prozac again. I'm not saying I'm going to use drugs (generally its coke) but if anyone has any info or experiences I'd appreciate it.Thanks.

It has been suggested that the drug may also have implications for the use of other psychoactives;
'*Fluoxetine* (Prozac) -- even at doses of this antidepressant ranging from 2mg/day to 40 mg/day, there was an overall decrease in most effects from LSD (no matter how much acid people took), as well as a decrease in response to ketamine. There was no change in response to psilocybin. There does seem to be a decrease in the response to MDMA.'
(you can read the full text of the article here on Erowid.)
Generally heavy or regular use of any mind altering chemical (including alcohol) whilst on a course of prescribed anti-depressants is not a good idea as they can exasperate or mask elements of the condition you are being treated for. Talk to your doctor, and if you trust his advice take it.
Also, with E and shrooms, I had no effect. No matter how much I would take I never felt anything. At first I thought I was just weird, I had no idea it had to do with the AD's
Doing coke when depressed is a bad recipe, possible contra-indictions aside.
If you're depressed enough to be on prozac, giving stimulannts a wide berth is a good idea.
Definately a wise thought.
Does anyone know why SSRI's block the action of MDMA, surely by idiot logic they should actually make MDMA more powerful?
