@Jake I have actually heard contrasting things about psilocybn. I listened to a 'making sense' podcast with James Fadiman P.h.d. (one of the scientist who lead the way in psychaledics and medicine in the 60's right through to micro dosing today) and he said that the studies so far show that micro dosing has shown to help people with depression but that people who suffer mostly from anxiety disorders often report feeling worse. From my own personal experimentation, I tend to feel unnerved when micrososing but have found larger doses to be extremely beneficial when taken responsibly/ with a clear focus of what I wanted to get out of it.

100% with you, microdosing isn’t for everyone, while i think macrodosing is beneficial to everyone. about 2 months ago, early april, i macrodosed 110ug of lsd and found substantial relief from OCD symptoms for at least 2 weeks. there are, however, examples of individuals who microdose and found relief from OCD when combined with other holistic practices, such as tweaks in diet/nutrition, exercise, meditation, yoga, etc. perhaps is microdosing psilocybn isn’t as effective for everyone, and microdosing lsd may be more beneficial to an individuals unique physiology. experimentation is required, and i feel it takes at least a month microdosing to properly gauge whether it’s effective for you or not. personally, i’m about to begin a psilocybin microdose regime for a month, and if that doesn’t work i’m debating hopping on SSRI’s. perhaps i’ll make a post here regarding my findings.

also, how many grams were your microdoses? personally, i’m going very low, around .05-.1g’s, never above. i’m very sensitive to psychedelics, and anymore will cause effects that aren’t a microdose (clouded head, anxiety, etc.).

@jake I experimented at the same levels (roughly 0.7g psilocybn daily). Although I've never gone longer than 2 weeks so you're right in saying that's not long enough to tell. I'd be interested to hear how you get on if you try for a month. For me it seemed to fuel paranoid thinking and because I suffer from social anxiety I'd always quit the experiment when a social event was happening that I couldn't get out of.

@Kyla91 .7gs is a lot of psilocybin my friend. that’s considered a macro trip to myself and many. you’d probably see better results if i lowered your dose a bit

@Kyla91 ahhhhh makes more sense. some people find better successes with lsd as it just works better with their physiology. but regardless i don’t think microdosing is for everyone and if u experience negative effects then by all means stop.

I have read that eating 2 kiwi fruit before bed helps you to sleep better, as it increases serotonin levels.

Magnesium and b vitamins. Magnesium helps relax you when your adrenals get drained.

If you look up Walsh Protocol some people find relief with that.

i take aswaganda, curcumin, salmon fish oils specifically for OCD, a general multivitamin because it’s healthy for you, and lions mane mushroom for its neuro-regenative effects. ashwaganda, curcumin, and salmon fish oils have all been studied as safe ways to help an individual in their pursuit of alleviating OCD, especially ashwaganda: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27515872/ do some research and you’ll find more supplements to help your recovery. if you get blood work done and have low B-12 or vitamin D, supplementing those could help you out immensely. you’re diet plays a huge roll in OCD, just look up “OCD and nutrition” online and you’ll find plenty of resources to set you up for success

additionally, if all else fail, you can try microdosing psilocybn. while there are no peer-reviewed journal articles regarding microdosing psilocybn, there are for macro doses, and results are promising. additionally, microdosing has anecdotally provided thousands of individuals suffering from OCD relief. however, you shouldn’t be on both SSRI’s and a psilocybn microdose regime.

don’t say that, there are plenty that have been clinically proven to help OCD. nutrition plays a key roll in the regulation of seratonin in our brains.

I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?

Medication or supplements
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.
