Microdosing

Netflix has a documentary about alternative medicine called "How to Change Your Mind" where one guy with OCD underwent a similar treatment. Seemed promising.

Not refering to your values over microdosing, just feel you should at least consider two factors: 1. Tbh, if you're considering taking drugs for a treatment (yeah, including traditional meds here, you should always be guided by a professional, who is impartial and follows your overall health through the treatment, who regulates your dosis, evolution and you feel secure enough to talk about possible side effects, doubts, insecurities, and so on. So, a professional, expert for a treatment, never alone. That leads to the 2th point: 2. However long historically fungis are used & consumed by humans, microdosing therapies are very new (and that depends a bit in what country you live), what means that legal research & investigations (in medicine, psychology, biology, ...) with therapeutic focus might be very, veryy new. So the information and discoveries around it usage in therapy, side effects, effectiveness in the long run & more might be much less and concrete (robust, tested, idk) than meds that are studied since 40-60+ years ago. So you might be at risk of trying something that is still uncertain or testing it in the go. This might depend a lot on the technology and development of your country, take that in mind. If you decide to try it, please take in consideration having a professional who knows very well of it and their implications. PS: As a recommendation, please don't go consuming stuff that you find outside and are not sure of 😅

I've seen things that show in a controlled environment it can be beneficial but just at home use I haven't seen any evidence of benefit only user given stories and those aren't reliable due to mix substance use/abuse. Mcducko mentioned the documentary. Super interesting watch. I recommend it for curiosity purposes.

I feel like if used the correct way, and minimally - many things may be beneficial. I unfortunately have a history of substance abuse with psychoactive drugs so I will never be able to know benefits of micro dosing under clinical supervision of providers, or on my own again. Many of my friends have a healthy relationship with micro dosing but again everyone is different.

I was almost accepted into an ocd trial for this at the University of Arizona. My late brother had a history of psychosis so I was eliminated. Then I pursued it on my own. It's part of the big picture of what I do for myself. Therapy, erp, rx meds, this, and therapeutic ket. Because of the ket and the other factors (rx med and risk of serotonin syndrome), I do it about once or twice a month. It's not something that I find enjoyable because I generally don't prefer how those make me feel. But I do see benefit. It's definitely something that is best if you have at least one provider you can safely tell about it as part of your care. I didn't see as much benefit for it without the other components though, and if you're looking into alternatives, I'd recommend k. There are many ways of doing it legally and safely, its ok with meds, you can micro or regular dose depending on what service you use, and personally I find it immensely more helpful.
