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.

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