This is definately not a recreational drug. I would not use it unless a doctor perscribed it, and even then I would probably be reluctant.

Ahhh Yea, Like SOT said. NOT A FUN drug especially the first few days. It is an S.N.R.I. antidepressant. And makes you feel "$%*#" up in a yucky way. Also what strength are they ?

i am curious as to why anyone whould want to take them recreationaly as they are anti depressants. are they 75mg or 150 mg? i am prescribed these and as with any anti depressant it take time for them to build up in your system to give noticable afect. i would notrecomend taking them. but if anyone can tell me how and to what efect they have been taken recreationaly it would be apreciated.

Question Question: Does Zoloft Have Any Recreational Use?
I have 25 mg pills of Zoloft, i have 30 of them, i understand that they boost seratonin levels, i understand that MSDS(ecstacy) effects the body by boosting seratonin levels. Am i right in concluding that if i take more then the prescribed dose it will have "effects similiar to ecstacty"? thanks for all info.

Well, ecstasy is actually MDMA, MSDS is material safety data sheet,lol. Zoloft is actually an SSRI, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, therefore it doesnt release serotonin, just inhibits it from being reabsorbed into the brain. It has no recreational value whatsoever.

If your being prescribed these, its best to stay away from amphetamines and ecstacy and other drugs that involve serotonin release/ inhibition. The results could lead to serotonin syndrome, which can be fatal. If you are gonna use a drug involving serotonin you must stop taking zoloft for at LEAST 2 weeks before you do.

What drugs to avoid while on an SSRI?

Is there any place that I could find a list of what drugs are safe to use while on an SSRI? I know DXM is out. Ketamine too, if I'm not mistaken. I've done both Kratom and Salvia without any issue and I'm wondering what others are 'safe.'

The thread Serotonergic drugs. is a good place to start sussing which drugs aren't fine to take on SSRI's, & to get an idea of the things to look out for when making the decision whether something may be safe. Basic rule of thumb - if a drug boosts & blocks serotonin then do not take another drug that does the same.

This is veering dangerously off topic however - back on track please kittlings!

To my knowledge there are no recreational SSRI's since the action of them just involves inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin. You couldn't say it provides euphoria but for some they are effective for treating depression. Some people attempt to use them with DXM or magic mushrooms to potentiate effects but this is quite dangerous and is not advisable without much more research on the users part (IMO, not worth it at all but to each their own).

They are completely non-recreational and trying to get high from them is potentially dangerous. SSRIs take several weeks to reach an effective therepeutic level so there is little point in doing this. I think the above poster is confusing SSRIs with MAOIs as there is no way they will potentiate a mushroom trip and taking them with DXM could be lethal.

Ahh yes your right when it comes to mushrooms I was thinking of MAOI's. As for DXM SSRI's is what's used though, and yes this is potentially lethal which is why I recommend against it, though people are willing to try it to get to 4th plateau.

abrad84 no i was'nt talking about MAOIs I WAS on about SSRIs.well you would think logically if something is suuposed to elevate the mood, and make you smiling and happy then it should produce some kind of high/euphoria,but these pills dont right?,so im confused does anyone know anything more about these sbustancesSSRIs?, their effects?

I know you meant SSRIs but I thought BCStoner was thinking of MAOIs.

Here is their mechanism of action according to Erowid

Quote:
Originally Posted by Erowid
Pharmacology / Mechanism of Action
There are specific serotonin axons in the brain which, amongst other things, release serotonin into the space between the axons and neurons (the 'inter-synaptic gap'). The released serotonin hangs out in this inter-synaptic gap, and from there can move in a variety of directions. Some of the serotonin fits into specific receptors on neurons triggering an electro-chemical message of sorts to be sent through the brain. But there are far more serotonin molecules released than will actually find a neuronal receptor to trigger, so some serotonin molecules will be grabbed by 'serotonin reuptake transporters' on the serotonin axons like the ones from which they were originally released. Still other serotonin molecules are destroyed by MAO enzymes in the inter-synaptic gap (this is the process which is inhibited by MAOIs). This is a complex inter-related process which regulates the amount of serotonin that is floating about in the inter-synaptic gap, and thereby also regulates the number of serotonin receptors that are being triggered.

SSRIs block the serotonin reuptake transporters so they are temporarily no longer capable of moving serotonin out of the inter-synaptic gap and back into the axon. Functionally what this does is to increase the amount of serotonin in the inter-synaptic gap, and therefore also increase the number of serotonin receptors which are being triggered.

They will not get you "high" under any circumstances, as I said it taks several weeks for them to reach a level effective in treating deppression so to feel anything SWIY would have to take them daily for weeks and even hen they just kind of dull your ability to fell emotion. Also fucking with these could cause serotonin syndrome which can in some cases be fatal.

What an incredibly foolish thing to do, after being told that they have no recreational value you take nearly 10 times the recommended dose of cipramil.

You have no ill effects yet but you are fucking with your brain chemistry, the long term effects of thereputic doses are not known nevermind overdoses.

SWIM at a tender young age did attempt to experiment with SSRIs for recreation, and the results were awful. 6 times the normal(?) dose of paroxetine (i forget what this is offhand) left SWIM with dilated pupils, nausea, derealization, insomnia, and dysphoria for about 36 hours. completely NOT reccomended.

yea swim was having theres REALLY weird experiences as if he was going to pass out or have a convulsion whilst driving along,just happens couples times like everything is blurry and as theres a sudden break from reality for a Milli second.so basically what your saying in the last post is these ssris chemicals are research chemicals and there no more know about them than all the illegal and illegal research drugs?

They have obviously been more more thoroughly tested than RCs but they are still not fully understood and could well have unexpected long term effects. If SWIY keeps having these experiences he should seek medical attention.

I was on paxil (paroxetine) 2 years ago and it gave me a great euphoria and confidence when combined with alcohol. In fact I've tried many drugs and no one gave me this feeling. For me it is the best combo ever.

However this only happened after 3-4 weeks being on 20 mg everyday. I know for sure that ssri's take several days to act in your brain so it would do nothing take it just once or twice to get high.

But when I am on paxil for 3 weeks I have the most wonderful time clubbing and drinking
