Something to avoid altogether.

When drug companies do clinical trials on their new drug, they go through a pretty serious exam by the FDA and the scientific community to ensure that the drug is safe, and what it claims it does it actually does.

When Marketing Effexor (an anti-depressant, I read from the website) they do trials where they give the drug to half of the group and give a sugar pill (called placebo) to the other half. Noone knows which drug they are taking, but their bodies and mood is studied to see if it makes a difference.

Scientists must prove that their drug does more good than harm (usually little side-effects like watery eyes or vivid dreams are no problem, but bad ones like seizures and bleeding are a big deal) and then the drug goes to market.

What does all this have to do with you? Well my friend, if you read it again, you will notice that nowhere does it talk about illicit drug interactions; drug interactions usually fall under categories like Liver matabolizing drugs or Water Soluble drugs...

What do shrooms do? They are psychoactive drugs. They fuck with the way you see things and interpret reality. This is usually a good experience, because if it was bad people wouldn't do it. However, in your case, you are on medication to fight a mental disorder, whether it be social anxiety or mood swings or depression. Your brain is not functioning normally (not your fault, and I am not calling you crazy) and therefore the medication you are on should help.

Why in the world would you want to fuck with your brain? In this case, the KNOWN RISKS FAR OUTWEIGH THE POSSIBLE REWARDS.

I would talk to the doctor that prescribed the drug Effexor to you, and ask him/her. You know what the answer will be already, don't you? Please don't even consider walking down this road.
