[/quote] If you are currently taking SSRI medication, such as paroxetine (Seroxat), it is important to discuss this with your treating physician before considering truffle therapy. Although recent scientific research has shown that there is no increased risk of complications such as serotonin syndrome when using SSRIs for truffle therapy, SSRIs can affect the action of psilocybin, the active ingredient in truffles. Scientific studies suggest that combining SSRIs with psilocybin during truffle therapy might reduce the effects of psilocybin, but that it does not result in dangerous interactions. Although the effects of truffle therapy may be slightly reduced under the influence of SSRIs, the therapeutic effects of psilocybin still appear to be present, albeit possibly less intense. It is important to understand that I cannot provide medical advice and that you should always consult your treating physician regarding your specific situation. Your doctor can advise you on the best approach, such as tapering off SSRI medication prior to truffle therapy or continuing the medication and accepting a potentially reduced effect of psilocybin during the session. At Triptherapie, we do not provide medical advice, but you can discuss our non-medical suggestions with your treating physician. It is important to make an informed decision that suits your individual needs and health situation. Question about: Truffle therapy
