really bad idea.
the risk of hyperthermia is already huge with meth and speed. if you are on an ssri it is even bigger risk. plus you are at risk for "serotonin-syndrome"

Smile hey

to answer you question, yes, i've done speed whilst on anti-depressants and i was fine. In fact, speed is now my favorite drug in the world (along with ecstasy) but if you're not sure how you'd react, i wouldn't try it. it's better to be safe than sorry

Default Louissugar may I ask & get ur answer

I was just wondering since reading ur post of what I feel is encouragement of mixing anti's w/ "speed" & "speed" being ur favorite drug NOW - what r u taking??? & why would u seem to recommend someone else do this?? I guess u did post better safe than sorry BUT even that makes no sense to me. Not trying to be critical of u or ur point of view just wondering why u made this ur first post...?... I hope u r careful mixing anything - legally or not
I would love to know what drug u have found to fall in love w/ NOW as u wrote... Thanks

Actually from what I've read and heard, they are both pretty ineffective when used together or at least when stimulant ADD meds are used. When serotonin levels are high dopamine is low and when dopamine is high serotnin is low. I'm not totally sure how true this is.
I really doubt the risk of serotonin syndrome since stimulants don't act on serotonin levels.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
