Okay, i've been taking cymbalta for a few months now and recently made the decision to try rolling. Now I already know that SSRI's make it to where you completely can't roll and I took zoloft once and couldn't roll at all for several days afterward. The only reason I thought I would try anyway is because cymbalta is not an SSRI but an SNRI. I thought it would probably weaken it since it inhibits serotonin also but wanted to try and thought there was no way to know except to try. I bought a pink playboy bunny tab and snorted it. I felt "something" which I thought was the comeup but it never did anything else. I bought a second tab which was a green transformer and chewed that one up later and nothing ever happened really. It did make me grind my teeth a little bit but I never actually rolled and my eyes didn't even get big. there must not have been too much speed in the tabs either because I never felt tweaky and meth makes my eyes get very dilated which did not happen. So obviously cymbalta affects serotonin too much and I cannot roll while taking it but I don't want to stop taking it for just this reason. I was wondering if maybe I could not take it for a few days before I planned on rolling? The half life is 12.1 hours but its in some sort of extended release form. I am hoping that I could just plan when I'm gonna roll and not take this for several days before and be able to roll. The half life of this one isn't as long as some antidepressants but since that really means the time for half of it to get out I would have to wait longer for it to completely get out. It's so dissapointing when you think you're about to have an incredible experience and it doesn't work. I haven't rolled in maybe over a year, not because I was taking meds but for other reasons so it should be really amazing. Also, I haven't had a problem with any other substances. Meth gets me extremely high still and 2c-p I did try right when I got out of jail and it seemed to definitely still work. The fact that I was able to trip was one of the reasons I thought I might have some chance at rolling but I guess not. I used to hang out with this chick who said she took paxil and was able to roll but I don't see how.
I took a couple cymbaltas smoked some weed and was tripping, very clear colorful visuals... cymbalta is an snri not a ssri..
yeah I know, I thought I said that, that's why I thought it might not be like the ssri's and I might be able to roll still but I guess since it still affects serotonin also you can't roll on it. Hopefully I can just not take it for several days before rolling. I don't often plan to roll though, it just happens.
its making me feel weird now that i haven't taken it for a few days. I get this head jolt feeling its hard to describe. Last night I got sick for some reason probably the withdrawal, I hadn't eaten since the day before because I had been high but when I ate some pizza that night I got sick after that. Ativan helps but i've only got one left. Weed helps too but im out of weed, I hope this shit doesn't get any worse I feel shitty weird. If this is the beginning its gonna suck.
Yeah, anti-depressants do that kind of shit to to your head. I was on Paxil once and would get something that felt like electric shocks in my head at night while I was trying to sleep. Going cold turkey off anything like that ... not a good idea. Be kind to your brain and taper down. Be careful with the Ativan. The absolute worst withdrawal I've ever had in my life was off benzos (which Ativan is one of). For a week I was suicidal until I realized what was causing it and reinstated then started a slow, very slow, taper.
yeah I get the same electric shock things and when it happens it fucks with my ears too like I'll hear a weird static sort of popping sound its hard to describe. And weird shit happens when I try to fall asleep. I hope this is as bad as it gets I just wanna be able to roll and then i'll probably start taking it again until I wanna roll again.
