Magic mushrooms or Lexapro? What about Magic Mushrooms + Lexapro? As psychedelics gain momentum as a potential treatment option for PTSD and depression, these questions are at the forefront. Dr. Ben Malcom, a clinical psychiatric pharmacist, shares the latest research on potential drug-drug-interactions between common psychiatric medications, such SSRIS, and psychedelics, like MDMA and psilocybin. We talk about serotonin sickness, risks associated with using isolated DMT, and best practices for using psychedelics safely and consciously.
Dr. Malcom lives up to his name as the “Spirit Pharmacist,” and is a rare person who can explain exactly what is happening to our brain chemistry when we take psychedelics, while simultaneously honoring the profound spiritual shifts that these medicines can give us.
