The baseline of the condition you have makes you vulnerable to drugs triggering an episode. If you experience psychosis on top of mania, then I’d say NEVER do psychedelics.
Also, bing actually provides good summaries of drugs. Looks like this one works on dopamine and seratonin somehow. Psychedelics flood your system with seratonin, so I’d guess that something will interact. Weed is a different chemical type so it probably won’t directly interact.
But you can legit just ask your doctor. They’ll probably tell you to knock it off, but they’ll send you in the right direction.
I’ve had a really valuable trip on a verrry large amount of shrooms. Another trip was on a small amount of shrooms, it was amazing. Decent to amazing experiences on acid, weed, molly. All with a wonderful afterglow.
The bad trips come after the meds got introduced. One shrooms trip was bad because I got on meds, and cold-turkeyed them for a week in an attempt to do shrooms safely, avoiding serotonin syndrome. That caused me to be in psychosis already AND on shrooms at the same time. (I highly don’t recommend it.) Another bad one was being partially in psychosis already then doing acid. I think it’s all psych med interactions. I immensely liked weed too until the past two antipsychotics I’ve been on.
That sucks. It might come down to a quality of life thing where you have to choose psychosis and instability with tripping, or stability without (assuming the meds do their job for you).
Did you ever have psychosis before you started the meds?
Then you might never be able to trip without having those symptoms come back. Psychedelics dump serotonin into your system and psychotic conditions are a brain structure thing and too much serotonin iirc. Please be careful comrade.
