Can I take ayahuasca while on antidepressants?

Direct answer

No — combining ayahuasca with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs or several other psychiatric medications can be dangerous (serotonin syndrome, hypertensive crisis). Tapering under medical supervision is required, and the wash-out period depends on the medication (often 4–6+ weeks).
