@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.

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

New diagnosis
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?

My partner has severe OCD
Hello i got this app hoping to maybe find some support for my partner i thought about reddit but reddit has become a hateful place and i figured this is a safe place. i love my partner more than anything and he’s been struggling with OCD his whole life he has a hard time talking about it with anyone because it’s too painful he’s stated that it’s gotten worse as he’s gotten older His biggest issue right now is overwhelming thoughts of his actions having tragic outcomes and being unable to stop these obsessive thoughts (such as needing to check out door handle 5 times to make sure it’s locked but still panicking that it’s unlocked) he’s not open to one on one therapy or meds although he loves learning and watching informative videos i fear he’s afraid to confront his OCD or just afraid nothing will help i really wanna help him live a stress free and happy life he deserves it would anyone possibly have any ways to naturally help with OCD or recommend any great individuals that could share techniques on managing OCD or helping your partner with OCD? i would very much appreciate it!
