Health - LSD, antidepressant withdrawal

[pantheon]

A person who has been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, and depression, who has been on Paxil(a SSRI)for 1 year, and after that,Effexor (a MAO inhibitor) for another year, and who has recently stopped taking the Effexor wants to try LSD.


Though he doesnt feel 'all there' after coming off the medication, he is still interested in taking LSD. Is this a wise idea for this person, especially ifhe may besucceptibleto depression in the future? if thewithdrawal symptomssubside after 6 weeks, as the persons psychiatrist told him, and perhaps his mood starts to look up. Would there still be a risk of a bad trip, or perhaps something worse happening to this person? By the way, this person has only smoked strong hash, grass, done valium and speed in terms of his drug history.


Just a theoretical question to ponder


thanks
