A good place to start looking for prescription drug/psychedelic
interactions is erowid.org. If you can't find it in the Entheogens
section, there's Ask Erowid: http://www.erowid.org/ask/

MAOI's can have serious and fatal interactions with some drugs like MDMA, and
booster effects on other drugs such as tryptamines

Prozac and other serotonin reuptake inhibitors generally lower the effects of
psychedelics such as lsd, and psilocybin and other tryptamines

For the antidepressants, I refer people to Kit Bronson's study; see:
