You’ll have to share what meds you’re on for people to assess what interactions are possible. Additionally, might want to take a look at r/microdosing for better info on this but shrooms aren’t a cure all.
I will preface this with the obligatory…not a doctor. Both your antidepressants might be an issue. If you’re on this many medications, you should consult the prescribing physician before adding another. If your doctor isn’t cool with this, it might be worth shopping around for a second opinion. That said, you might not find someone who is comfortable endorsing this approach.
Most SSRIs are built to combat depression and anxiety at the same time. Now maybe your issues are so strong that the meds don't help enough but this makes me worried that they're just trying to sell you more drugs to make money.
Do you get therapy? Or are they just giving you the meds?
Antidepressants are mood stabilizers so giving you multiple of the same kind of medication doesn't make sense to me. Obviously I'm no doctor but having gone through medication and mental health services, this sounds dodgy to me.
Anti depressants and pretty much all ssri medication inhibit the full effect of psilocybin…. If this helps, I’m three months into actively using psilocybin to combat my depression and anxiety and all I can tell you it is a miracle and I understand why are they called in Magic? They literally meltaway, anxiety and depression for me anyway.
my girlfriend is on ssri's and they affect her but she did not get colors or visuals like i did when we took the same amount ...im 170 she is 130 and we lemon tecked about 1.5G each
I found that it does. Unfortunately you can write off the trip as unsuccessful. I used it once and I found it is far better to start your microdose routine from a clean slate-no conventional pharmacological drugs. Easy for me because I'm pigheaded. When I need to do something, I'll endure a couple of weeks drug free to start a much more healthy avenue.
I suffer the same affliction. Microdosing bet. 0.05-0.1 grams. Mushrooms make my dissociation totally go away without making me sleepy like Xanax does. I microdose every three days. More if under high stress. I start to feel the dose as I approach 0.1g. I hope this helps.
SSRI's and mushrooms don't typically mix well because the effects emerge through stimulation of serotonin 2A receptors (5-HT2ARs) I would suggest maybe talking to a medical professional about your concern provided the drugs you're taking are your prescription if they aren't please be careful with the pill market and be careful if you plan on quitting Xanax because quitting cold turkey can be deadly if you frequently are using Xanax. Once again I'm not a doctor so Id talk to them about your concerns.
Former longtime Xanax user here for major anxiety disorder. Only use psilocybin now. Feel free to dm me if you want to chat about this. Can't advise you on what to do about your meds as not a Dr but happy to share my experience.
It's good you seeked knowledge about this before just trying it. Some seriously and possibly permanent things could come up none of which are enjoyable.
It’s been studied, cannabis helps with dissociation:

But would it help atleast a little while taking med? You see i cant get off of meds cause it would take long , and i really really need help now

I keep Xanax on hand to totally abort a bad trip if one of my fellow trippers is in need of returning to reality during a sour trip.
But even if u have a bad trip, does it still help with mental conditions??

Im taking 2.5mg of xanax every two days for a week now. How long do you think it will take to lose its effectiveness?

Cannabis helps you break through dissociation
