@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.

Does anyone have any recommendations on all natural supplements that help with their ocd? (Obviously not ERP and CBT therapy). I am having a hard time deciding on if I should get on meds or not. Unsure of if they make a huge positive impact.

Help please
Does anyone on here know of any natural medicines/supplements/vitamins to take to make ocd a little bit more bearable? I’m getting to the point now that I feel like I can’t function and I’m struggling so much. I’ve been on prescribed medication before and it doesn’t agree with me at all so looking to see if there’s any sort of natural aid that could help ease it a little?
