I disagree with @sam121. I’ve got some experience microdosing, and I’ve yet to find anything else as effective. Pretty much completely relieves me of my OCD and anxiety symptoms, without any “trippy” side effects or ill health effects. I can feel the lasting relief from it, too, especially over time. I take doctor-prescribed medication, too, but I really can’t express how much more effective and over-all healthy for my mind and body I find the natural earth medicine to be. Truly.
I haven’t done it but I don’t think it’s a good idea . I’ve heard psychedelics can cause psychosis in some people
shrooms bring out a side to people that they don’t let out naturally if you are Pure O with harm as your main OCD that might be concerning when considering doing a drug that allows little control over the mind. I would definitely sway towards not using drugs but in the end it is your call.
Mushrooms are actually the safest drug. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/may/23/study-hallucinogenic-mushrooms-safest-recreational-drug-lsd and 84% of people have positive experiences/outcomes.
Jin, psilocybin and a microdose is usually 1/10th the size of a recreational dose so anywhere from .1 to .5 grams
Read this as well... those who have mental illnesses, considering that is what OCD is, should also understand the risks that come with that when using drugs
They also might be approved for the treatment of some mental illnesses by the fda in the near future. https://www.vogue.com/article/magic-mushrooms-may-be-an-fda-approved-drug-for-anxiety-and-depression-in-the-near-future
Colorado may legalize soon: https://coloradosun.com/2019/05/20/denver-magic-mushrooms-psilocybin-drugs-medicine/
As far as doing shrooms to help with your OCD, I think there are better and safer/more effective methods. But in the end it is your decisions. Drugs should never be something people lean on for help unless prescribed by a doctor and as a last resort. Due to addiction and other long lasting effects. Even though some drugs may not by physically addictive they can be psychologically addictive and you should not rely on it. If you’re just looking for a good time. That’s your call but if you’re looking for things to help with your OCD I would not recommend
@sam121 I want to do them more so for my depression and anhedonia. They’ve been driving my ocd and when they’re not flared up my ocd it’s virtually non existent
For whatever the cause is. Drugs should not be a reliant unless a doctor is helping you in that process. If not used correctly they won’t be helpful or safe. My recommendation would be to go to your doctor and get medicine specifically for your depression and anhedonia.
Recreational drugs are momentary, not long term
Though I‘m not at all convinced of doctors and professionals to help with mental problems, as well not with pharmaceutical drugs, I would at best not experience with hallucinogenic drugs ALONE. I don‘t know if you have an alternative „scene“ in the US like it exist with Ayahuasca from southern america. I would try to find people knowing about the drug, maybe using it framed in rituals and so on.
Hi Envythewind, what‘s the name of the mushrooms? And how micro is micro? Is there anything about it on the web?
Has anyone heard or tried using medical marijuana? I have been using the meds the doctor gave me and up and up the doses but still feeling the same, i was looking into other meds and options and saw articles saying it helped people with ocd. I’m thinking of going to my doctor to see what he thinks, but wanted to know if anyone on here has tried it?
Has anyone tried or looked into psilocybin treatment? I keep reading good things but the idea freaks me out. I tripped on acid once - long time ago and spent 12 hours in an OCD hellscape that took years to fully return from.
Hey guys, I know this is taboo to some people so ignore it and move on if you have a different view but, has anyone here tried microdosing with natural medicine for ocd? The kind that grows in the woods and can be found under decaying trees and cow patties. You know the kind…
