Has anyone tried psychedelics? How has it affected your ocd?

A reagent test can distinguish LSD from common dupes or research chemicals. There's no such thing as an LSD "derivative", and if by that you mean analogues like 1p-lsd, their effects in the human body are analogous to LSD, hence the name. Ingested, they're identical in terms of their effects in humans.

Yea I think everyone reacts to lsd differently. I have the skills to react to ocd and it’s quite weak. When I have a good trip I barley even notice the ocd because I’m not afraid of my thoughts anymore.

@Cameron.harris0803 I haven't actually ever had a full LSD trip I don't think. But mushrooms never had me going in unhappy thought loops, which I understand can be common for LSD even in people without OCD. Mushroom trips initially taught me how to let go actually, as resisting a trip would make it unpleasant. The letting go is a skill I apply to intrusive thoughts and urges to do compulsions, mine is usually weak too. It's weird, I'm now struggling with a new take on an old theme after several months pretty much compulsion free. When it's bad it's bad, but that usually doesn't last more than a week. It's the lessons from psychedelics which has helped my OCD as much as anything chemical about them. I've had quite a look into the science behind microdosing mind you, and it looks like LSD disrupts your use of the default mode network in your brain, and that's precisely where people with OCD or anxiety live. When I microdose, I couldn't ruminate even if I wanted to. My OCD is Gone. 2 doses of less than 10ug per week, not even enough to be detectible in urine let alone make me trip, and not only are my intrusive thoughts gone but I have a deep sense of choice about whether to take any thought or concern seriously or direct my attention elsewhere. They need to get on with the studies, it's a damn miracle. I was speaking on Facebook a while back with a psychiatrist who has OCD himself who says he expects the microdosing studies to blow SSRIs out of the water.
