Withdrawal or rebound if stopped abruptly: Stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal or a rebound of symptoms. Any change to the dose is the prescriber’s decision. Sources [1]
Raises blood pressure or heart rate: Raises blood pressure or heart rate. Psilocybin raises both for several hours, so the effects can add. Sources [1]
Serotonergic: Increases serotonin activity, for example by blocking its reuptake or releasing it. Psilocybin acts on serotonin receptors, so effects can add together. With antidepressant use, the psilocybin response can be weaker. Sources [1]
