Systematic Review Reveals Little Data On How Psilocybin May Interact With More Traditional Psychiatric Medications

HealthDay (3/25) reported, “Psilocybin…is generating lots of interest as a potential treatment for a host of mental” health conditions, but a 40-study systematic review and meta-analysis revealed “there is little data on how it might interact with more traditional psychiatric medications.” The findings were published online March 7 in the journal Psychopharmacology. “ The current standard of care for these disorders involves treatment with psychiatric medications (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), so it will be important to understand drug-drug interactions between MDMA or psilocybin and psychiatric medications.”
