- What are your thoughts about microdosing for anxiety?
Microdosing involves taking very small doses of psychedelic substances like LSD, typically around 1/10th to 1/20th of a standard recreational dose. The goal is to experience potential benefits like improved mood, reduced anxiety and depression, increased focus and creativity, without the intense psychoactive effects of a full dose.
However, the scientific evidence on microdosing's mental health effects is still limited. Most data comes from self-reported anecdotes and observational studies rather than rigorous clinical trials.
I got anxiety disorder microdosing with lion's mane, not sure if it was caused by microdosing itself or the combination, But I wouldn't recommend it, especially if your trying to recover from hyperstimulation and anxiety disorder. it's just not worth it, the odds are almost guaranteed to make it far worse.
I fully recovered from hyperstimulation and anxiety disorder naturally by watching CZcams channels like this one.
People dabble in that stuff and that is always risky. Recreational drugs are like, as you pointed out, alcohol. I come from a family of alcoholics..none of them planned on being an alcoholic..while they were functional alcoholics (they held down a job) their personal lives were impacted, some were wrecked. There was damage in the home to the spouses and the children. I was one of those children. I vowed when I was a little girl I'd never drink, and I never have b/c of the awfulness of it. I haven't missed a thing. People ignore the dangers of recreational drinking..they are risking far more than they ever imagined...and recreational drugs are as or even more dangerous imo..oh yes, there will be those who strongly disagree...all I've got to say to them is 'if you don't want to fall in the river, you best stay away from the bank; just b/c you got up close and were fine doesn't mean you always will be".
Love your comment! We've seen so many lives ruined by alcohol and recreational drug use. Unfortunately, the damage often doesn't show up until it's too late. Being an "affected other" is too often the common damage, causing long-term psychological and emotional anguish.
@@anxietycentre Thank you!
Dear Jim, did you experience delayed processing problems? Or do you know if many people with anxiety report this also? Like, you see everything normal, but it takes time for your brain to catch up ..i have this 24 hours a day😢do you have some explanation on how this happens? I cant find it on the website❤
We call this symptom "Difficulty Thinking." We have that mentioned in the symptom description in the Recovery Support area (Chapter 9) but haven't updated that symptom on our public pages yet. If you are a Recovery Support member, you can read about it there.
Hi Jim is hyperarousal as in relationship to PTSD the same as hyperstimulation? what about hypoarousal
Yes, hyperarousal is another term for hyperstimulation. Hypoarousal often means chronic stress has muted the effects of the stress response. It's not that the stress response suspends, but that the body doesn't react to stress hormones like it normally would. Hypoarousal (chronic fatigue) is a common consequence of hyperstimulation.
@@anxietycentrethanks. I guess what confuses me is that some people like yourself consider hyperarousal and hyperstimulation the same thing while others say hyperarousal is when your body goes into high gear when thinking about their past traumatic event
Hyperarousal can be defined as: excessive arousal. It can be acute, from a fearful thought, or chronic, such as chronic worry.
@@anxietycentrethank Jim. I have 1 more question. I upped my dosage of Lexapro from 10mg to 15mg a few weeks ago and this past week I have noticed a dramatic increase in symptoms. I noticed a similar experience when first starting back in April but it than seemed to settle out. I know you’re not a doctor but have you seen this type of thing usually stabilize as my body adjusts. I don’t know if I should go back to 10mg or stay at 15. Im also concerned that being on an SSRI my body can’t properly complete level 1 recovery.i know this is true with benzos because it depends on the benzo to buffer against stress. Can the body fully stabilize at full health with a medication like Lexapro and than I can properly discontinue once I’ve done enough level 2 recovery work and feel confident enough in my skills?
@@anxietycentrethanks.I have one more question.I recently upped my dosage of Lexapro from 10-15 around may 30th. Over the past week I have noticed a dramatic increase in muscle tension and overall symptoms. I’m not sure if this is related to the medication as I expiernced a similar thing when first starting back in in the beginning of April. I know you’re not a doctor but have you seen this commonly occur and people typically stabilize once the body adjusts to the new dose of an SSRI?I don’t know if I should just stick it out til my body stabilizes and symptoms come back to a better level. I’m also concerned that I won’t be able to properly complete recovery on Lexapro? Can the body fully stabilize at normal health while on Lexapro. I know on benzodiazepines it can’t because your body depends onthe benzo to buffer against stress. Ideally I’d like to complete both levels of recovery while on medication than taper off slowly and be good to go
