Where do I read about how psychedelics interact with medication? Especially medications that are newer in the market? (hexbear.net)

I know about Ask Erowid. But there's nothing about my med on the site. The med I'm taking came out less than 15 years ago.

Edit: Latuda is the med I'm looking stuff up on.

Here’s a pretty good article. Currently doing some more reading to find more resources for you: https://mind-foundation.org/psychedelic-antidepressant-interactions/

Basically raises your risk for serotonin syndrome. This is particularly close-to-home for me because I had a close friend who was taking an SSRI who began using psychedelics of all sorts (psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, etc) & i watched her fry her brain. One time on a trip, she couldn’t stop saying the same thing over, & over, & over, & over again. She didn’t know who she was. This is coming from someone who has used psych’s before; they’re a beautiful time, but not was SSRI’s. Don’t take the risk.

Update, I’m having a hard time finding anything else. I think this article does a good job explaining the science behind why the risk of serotonin syndrome is raised when you combine psychedelics with SSRI’s. Please be careful friend & do not combine these two classes of substances
