Contraindications

Cardiovascular

  • severe cardiovascular diseaserelative

    Severe uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, or conditions where acute hemodynamic stress poses significant risk. Relative contraindication based on class-level cardiovascular effects.

Neurological

  • concurrent lithium therapyabsolute

    Lithium must be fully cleared before psychedelic use. Even subtherapeutic lithium levels may be sufficient to trigger seizures, as documented in a case report of an adolescent on low-dose lithium therapy (Edwards et al. 2024).

  • epilepsyrelative

    Pre-existing seizure disorders or epilepsy may increase vulnerability to seizure-related adverse effects, though direct evidence for LSZ is absent.

Psychiatric

  • psychotic disordersabsolute

    Personal or first-degree family history of psychotic disorders or schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. 5-HT2A agonism disrupts cortical filtering mechanisms implicated in psychosis.

  • bipolar disorderabsolute

    Bipolar disorder of any type. Risk of triggering manic or mixed episodes applies regardless of current mood stability.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

  • pregnancyabsolute

    Pregnancy and breastfeeding are absolute contraindications on precautionary grounds. Ergoline class uterotonic effects pose theoretical risk.

Other

  • concurrent tramadol useabsolute

    Concurrent or recent tramadol use due to serotonin syndrome risk from dual serotonergic activation.
