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.

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

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.

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.

Hiii - hope everyone is having a good day! Has anyone found any type of medication or supplements helpful with thinking sooo deeply about everything and intrusive thoughts? I’m in therapy + doing erp but my brain in this relapse of ocd just thinks sooo deep into my brain and i can’t seem to not to do it pull myself out. Like I’m just paranoid. An example would be if i simply look at my arm I’ll think so deeply about it like what’s under my arm what’s it look like inside etc. but if anyone not in this cycle looks at their arm they’ll be like hmm ok cool my arm and move on w their day. Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience of what I’m feeling rn.
