I remember the days when I could get away with doing half a gram of coke on fluoxetine 40mg, drink 4 pints and 4 mixers and still be relatively ok the next day. In fact i don't think I would have gotten involved in cocaine if i wasn't taking fluoxetine, it freed up dopamine and allowed me to feel alive for once.
There's very little to suggest the combination is capable of producing serotonin syndrome, nor does it carry any additional dangers above those already present. Mice on the combination exhibited increased locomotor activity.
Data suggests taking it lowers the ability to experience pleasure (google DeltaFosB and cocaine).
I remember having cravings for up to a year after my last line. I was grateful when the last time I took it I became so depressed the following day, it lost its appeal forever.
