Can I continue taking Pantoprazole for the psilocybin therapy?

Pantoprazole is a medication belonging to the group of proton pump inhibitors and is often prescribed for the treatment of stomach acid problems such as heartburn and stomach ulcers. Psilocybin acts at other sites in the body after conversion to psilocin, and no direct interactions are known.

However, psilocybin can affect the stomach. About 90% of users of truffles, magic mushrooms, or psilocybin experience nausea after ingestion, and this often lasts 5-30 minutes. Someone with severe stomach issues may therefore experience additional discomfort as a result. Although this most likely poses no danger, it can lead to discomfort at the beginning of a psilocybin therapy session.

Therefore, although there are no specific contraindications for combining pantoprazol with psilocybin, it is always important to exercise caution when combining medication with psychedelic substances. It is advisable to discuss this with the doctor who prescribed the pantoprazol so that he or she is aware of your plans and can assess any potential risks.
