Anti-depressants and Salvia Divinorum

[OrangePeel]

I've been taking 300mg of Wellbutrin XL daily for several months now to treat depression. This has proven to be highly effective for me.

Independent of that, I've recently become fascinated by the idea of trying Salvia Divinorum for its interesting dissociative effects. I'm intrigued by its usage as a soul-searching, meditative tool (i.e. not for abuse purposes).

Because of the lack of regulation, information on drug interaction is scarce.

Basically, I just want to be assured that I'm not going to end up inducing a seizure (or worse) by experimenting with the diviner's sage

Thanks!
