Psychedelics and psilocybin containing mushroom in general are just amazing with so many health benefits. Psilocybin mushrooms actually saved my life from depression and addiction to cigarettes and alcohol. Never had a bad trip.
No doubts shrooms are 100% blessings from nature. Indeed nature's little miracles
I've been looking to try shrooms for depression, just very difficult to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, I'm very sure of Dr.benshrooms.
I hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
It’s so refreshing to listen to someone intelligent on CZcams.😊
No other Dr. on CZcams can come close to how you get right to the point and the critical information everyone needs. Thanks!

Psilocybin are blessings to mankind, I've been coping well ever since I started Microdosing, anxiety and depression got nothing on me anymore
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode enough to start working on my mental health
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need
One of the worst outcomes of the drug patent system is that when a drug is under patent, the manufacturer is disincentivized to release it as a tablet (rather than capsule)- because tablets are easier to micro-dose (and also intake through other vectors). While posing a minor illicit/abuse potential, the real threat of easy micro-dosing is to pharmaceutical profits.
Even with some long-half-life generics- if I want to see whether a “sub-therapeutic” 1mg of fluoxetine works for me, I have to have a compounding pharmacy make it.
See!? (I'm referring to a comment I made on another one of your comments lol).
I'd wonder if our ruling leadership had a more clear and understanding emphatic mind like yours Tay. We would live in a better world.
FAKKKTS, Tay! .... ByDESIGN.
With THAT said, OMG it's been YEARS since I've checked on you!!! lol.
Glad to see you're surviving these orchestrated times! 💜✊🏽👁💜
Being a millennial & learning all the various bullshit ways the companies find to screw us (not just systemic failure, but downright systemic evil), is really a trip (pun not intended), huh? Yet we can't do without the corpos either, (say, in the case of ADHD medication or with Sleep Apnea...)
Sending you love & solidarity in your journey, Tay. IDK how to keep up the hope in all of this, but I guess we gotta.
Thank you! Even though I have no interest in experimenting with dosing, your clear explanation and breakdown was extremely informative and interesting.
I have to comment: I was just now looking thru your videos to find the topic of isolation you did a year ago. And I noticed you have THE MOST ENTERTAINING thumbnails of the CZcamsrs I follow. I appreciate the effort you put into your video thumbnails. Well done. 👍

On a related note: When titrating up, I have found it best to do it twice as slow than the manufacturers recommendations. Instead of 3-4 days between increases, I do one week.
Also, I only increase doses on the weekend because if I have a bad reaction, I have time to recover (whereas if I have a bad reaction during the week, I then have to call in sick or in if it happens in the middle of the day, I embarrassingly have to go home sick).
That is a perfect point. I never thought about doing a dose change on the weekend. Thank you so much for the tip. It makes a lot of sense.
This was such a good & interesting watch! Very informative. I think I’m a normal metabolizer but getting genetic testing to be sure would be amazing!! I haven’t started meds for bipolar disorder out of fear of terrible side effects. I do my best to manage it naturally but I’ve been thinking more about trying meds as some of my low days can be very debilitating. Thanks Dr. Marks!!
Glad you did this. Mushrooms had a an amazing effect in a good way for me mentally with rewiring and self awareness. Microdosinf didnt have the same effect, but I did notice a prolonged effect later after ceasing microdosing, but overall my experience wasn’t always great with microdosing
Andrew Huberman in his podcast cited research studies that showed that the most therapeutically beneficial dose of psilocybin was 20-25mg and most shrooms strains have 10mg per gram of dried shrooms. Apparently a single trip in that dosage has more long term effects than microdosing. I've yet to try but I'm hopeful and microdosing has not been as helpful for depression as I would have liked.
Same I tried microdosing and it didn’t change anything! I had to take higher doses and it made me so much better instead of taking small doses! Also it stops doing anything after a few times
Great information. Thanks.
I tried microdosing psilocybin for over a year to treat PTSD that I’ve been diagnosed w since 2014 and found almost 0 therapeutic value from trying it, and this was in conjunction with conventional medicine and therapy. The 5 people I was trying it with also reported little to no difference and some reported that they felt even worse after trying it. The answer to these questions can all be answered by behavioral neuroscience imo. Nothing has been more helpful to me than learning that my brain is permanently changed from the trauma that it’s been put through and no amount of medicine ,questionable therapy methods, manipulation or coercion will make these symptoms go away
but were you doing this treatment under your therapist and specialist?
I'm only asking because my brothers best friend is a brain neurologist in Australia who is trialing psychocilibins and ketamin for treatments for PTSD , Autism and ADHD
and they're having very promising results.
like I said though he's a brain neurologist so he's often doing brain scans too something a therapist cannot.
if your on certain medications psychedelic's wont work. trust me i know from experience. give it another go while off all other medications.
Sometimes people need mini or macro doses less often. 💕
@@MonstehDinosawr Yes and I had my brother w a degree in behavioral neuroscience helping, only thing for my case I think is worth mentioning is that I’ve also recently been diagnosed with borderline pd, which I’ve heard can prevent drug/psychedelic assisted treatment methods from working
Macrodose
no amount of drugs are gonna help in any form if you don't have friends and human connection established in life. if you were neglected and isolated all your life. no drugs are gonna help. unless it's for distracting. there's no progress or productivity in distraction with drug use. Nothing can fix this but friends and human connections. I would know, obviously.
Yeah not only that but the drugs were actually designed to try to destroy your brain..
This was very helpful! Thanks again, doctor. I'm going to say it again, I wish you were my therapist.

I love microdosing. I have anxiety so am scared to take a macro dose, perhaps one day, but I feel great when microdosing. I find it helps PMDD. I am able to look at things more from the outside as opposed to just reacting. Also I am able to laugh more easily and not take things so personally. Maybe it’s placebo, but I feel better so that’s all that matters. Also because of said anxiety, I take half of a normal microdose. 😂

Hey Dr. Marks, have you ever considered making videos for aspiring psychiatrists. Personally, I would love to hear some advice or opinions from you about heading down the psychiatry path. What are some of the realities of psychiatry? What are some positive and negative experiences that you have made as a psychiatrist or during your journey towards becoming one?
Yes! This was very helpful Dr. Marks!! Thank you for educating on this important topic, it poses a question I’ve had for a long time now. What if I feel as though I need to manage the psychological symptoms with severe PMDD with psych meds, is it even possible since there is a titration period and this imbalance feels directly related to my hormonal fluctuations aka it will happen each month. In other words, I have always questioned being on medications all month, taking meds every day to treat the 1 week of heavy depression 😅
Very helpful Dr. Marks. I can’t tolerate any antidepressants that I’ve tried because the side effects are so severe, but I can take Diazepam 5-10mg for my anxiety and no side effects. Not sure if a liquid antidepressant and micro dosing would work for me, but I’d be willing to wait out the extra time it would take to be effective. I’ve had side effects to other medications over the years, one of which landed me in the hospital when I was pregnant. I may just be extra sensitive to any type of prescription drug. So, I might be a slow metabolizer, but Diazepam works, 🤷♀️ and I’m so thankful for that. I don’t need it on a daily basis, so I’m definitely not dependent on it.
Unfortunately here in the U.K. you literally can not get diazepam prescribed. It has helped me massively in the past no it's just a flat out no don't ask again or if I'm lucky 5 2mg tablets (but last time I had that my psychiatrist complained to my G.P.!)
@@becky2235 The medical bullying is real.
I attempted to self medicate using THC and psychedelics. It actually ended up triggering a mental health crisis, of a week long series of panic attacks and mania. After speaking with my doctor and psychiatrist, they informed me this is often the case more than not. I believe there are more natural approaches, but self diagnosis and treatment is something I think most don’t fully grasp. It’s seriously dangerous. THC is not a joke. Intense fear and panic lead to suicidal thoughts.
I do not have a good reaction to the "modern" cannabis flower. I too get intense fear and all my optimism goes away, leading to intense panic.
At around 20% THC with near zero CBD, the weed being sold at dispensaries is 5 times stronger than the weed from the 1990s (around 4% THC), which was twice as strong as the 1960s (~2%). I don't think most legislators or people over 40 realize that today's weed isn't the weed that they grew up with.
2+ years ago, I was able to find flower that was 10% THC and 10% CBD. Now I can't find it anywhere and am lucky if I can find vape/tinctures that are 1:1 or the unicorn 1:2 ratio.
@@Nyx773simply put, different people react to cannabis differently. People were panicking when they smoked weed back in the day too. Information about bad reactions are just now more readily available because of social media.
@@TheRomeoValentino True. But my main point is that the quantity of THC is tremendously higher than it used to be, thereby increasing the likelihood of unwanted side effects and/or having a totally different/worse reaction than I did 20+ years ago.
Yeah... I'm starting to pull back on weed...while it does help me relax before bed, I've been getting comments about being much more anxious. I do hear things that no one else hears too...
Same here
THAT JACKSFILMS REFERENCE. I LOVE YOU
PERFECT timing!!! I have been worried about this for a while.
Thanks Doc!!
I took 60mg of Prozac for 5 years. I took 80 for a few months but it gave me a headache. So back to 60. I never had any side effects cept the headache. But I didn't feel like I had taken anything at all, I can't explain to you, it literally only made the crazy anger shortfuse I had, turn into a never ending rope of patience. Best thing I ever done was take Prozac. Saved my life.
It was 20 mgs for 3 weeks and up and up and up to 80 but a headache wouldn't go away, so back down to 60 and it really did save my life.
I had trouble with Prozac until I got to 2.5 mg a day... had to break a 10 into 4 pieces, took it sublingually.
It was very effective with no side effects.
eromushy
The side effects surely can't be worse than "suicidal thoughts" with traditional anti-depressants... the side effects of alcohol use... and in general the side effect of most big pharma meds.
I totally agree and talk about microdosing in two of my books.
Excellent as usual, but there's a big area between microdose and standard doses. When the same dose is prescribed for a 250lb man and a
Excellent point. Weight, age, gender, and other medical conditions make a huge difference. I doubt those are taken into consideration by psychiatrists and other doctors (I'm only aware of anesthesiologists and veterinarians using weight to calculate doses).
You're like that cool auntie that I can go to for questions like these.
Auntie Tracey :D
In my practice, I use micro-dosing for patients who have a hard time withdrawing from their medications such as antidepressants and benzos. I never used microdosing for anything other than this but can see how slow metabolizers may prefer this method. Thanks for another great video!
Try the ketogenic diet or at least mention a good diet without gluten and sugar . You shoukd see the patients that stick to it come around and will not need these toxic and harmful drugs. Even if you do keep up prescription drugs for your patients mention the diet. It could save their life.
@@Bandybear Only a troll would make such a comment on this channel
Ok, i understand some people experience different situations and may "need" certain pharmaceuticals to address them, but i am a true believer in exercising to help myself with depression and anxiety . It still amazes me how an hr of physical exercising can lift my mood and am curious if doctors prescribe it as an alternative?
I have experience with the recreational use of LSD and in those quantities it had a good effect on me. It lessens my anxiety long time after use and made me calmer since my brain seemed to be more active instead of reactive in stressful situations. Sadly microdosing is not possible here without going into "certain circles" again that I don't want to have contact with anymore.
@Barbaradapic-hn4ij I don’t think that will work because I live in Europe and out of country shopping is surely much more risky.
Your videos are excellent! Very concise and informative.
could you do a video about if you can/should stop taking your medications for OCD ?

Breaking the tablet in pieces or taking a few of the mini pills in a capsule was the only way I could take zoloft or effexor. I tried taking the smallest dose, and it made my so sick I couldn't continue so I wasn't going to get any benefits. Taking 1 or 2 of those mini pills inside the effexor made it manageable and even though it took longer, I was eventually able to take the full dose and get the benefits. I did the same when it was time to come off the effexor as I would get brain bees.

Can you talk about HOW to talk to your doctor about dosing? I am INCREDIBLY sensitive to meds, prescribed or recreational, I guess I am a slow metabolizer. I have had more than one disagreement with my psychiatrist about this very fact. It doesn't matter if it is tylenol for joint pain or stattera for attention, I am SENSITIVE. but I get treated like I am being resistant or oppositional and I feel coerced into taking meds that are too high and titrating too fast. I have to show up sick as a dog to be believed. I live in a small market so getting a second opinion is not an option unless I can afford to drive 4 hours to another market and they are scheduled out 8 months+ (an element of life in Montana people don't get from TV). How can I build a better relationship with my only medical option and be heard so I receive the help I need?

I have a question years ago I was on ssris they worked really well for a number of years but then every time I would take one I would feel very hyper caffeinated followed by feeling really exhausted and low the next day. Also became incredibly sensitive hypersensitive to ssris where I would take just a tiny bit of one and would feel the same way. Or some kind of autoimmune response. At the time I had been on ssris for 10 years.I always associated with adrenal exhaustion or dysregulation. Could it be that a mood stabilizer would balance this?

Not an expert on that, but I could imagine that thinning down liquid medication is also a way to get an exact dose. Depending on the drug there have to be adjustments if it is soluble in water or you have to thin it down with an oil base or alcohol base. It makes dosing easier and gets a preciser measurement with a syringe.
Is that a way it could work, or do I have a wrong idea?
Dr. Marks, does a significant amount of weight loss impact medication metabolization? I used to be a high metabolizer, but I lost almost 95 pounds, and medications impact my body differently after my weight loss. Thank you.
Yes, absolutely metabolism changes with significant body weight changes.
@aprnstudent I'm actually not sure because the kind of metabolism I'm talking about is liver metabolism controlled by the CYP enzymes in the liver. Genetic mutation change how they metabolize drugs. I'm not sure if weight loss changes their function.
Congrats on the weight loss. Weight does impact how much of a drug is effective which is why children are dosed differently.
Thank you for getting back to me. After losing 95 pounds over 12 months, I had to decrease the dosage of two medications I had been taking for 10 years. Genetic mutation makes more sense since I am now a slow metabolizer. Thank you again. @@DrTraceyMarks

You’re welcome and thank YOU! 🙏🏽❤️
This is not advised for the ADHD meds like Vyvanse because of danger of sensitisation, right?
Would be very important to mention this I think.
I’ve found that micro dosing any psychedelic medication felt quite recreational. Recreational in the sense that I feel as though I shouldn’t participate in everyday occurrences (let’s say…heavy machinery lol) and that this instance of what I’m experiencing needs to be counteracted with alcohol.
For context I’m on 70mg (max dose) Vyvanse and physiologically plough through its bioavailability, suggesting I’ve got quite active CYP2D6 activity.
Meaning what I’m experiencing for the most part isn’t a pharmacokinetic subjectivity and is therefore a monoamine incompatibility.

I don’t know will I get a reply from you but I will try anyway. My 13 years old son has autism and anxiety. We tried 3 types of SSRI, Clonidine and Intuniv but nothing really help him until a psychiatrist oversee let him try 10 mg of Propranolol. Wow it is a life changing, he became very relaxed and happy the whole day but the paediatricians in Canada refused to prescribe Propranolol to us for daily use. What’s your opinion on my son taking it daily before school ? I really wish he can take it everyday and he has zero side effect
Thank you
Propranolol lowered my blood pressure too much but if it works for your son I don't see why they would be against it.
Thank you, very informative and something I was considering.
Glad it was helpful!
I still have leftover perscribed adderall meds at 30mg that I haven't taken in months. I was gonna start taking them again, but I'm afraid that starting off that high would have negative effects (anxiety etc) Can I just take half the contents in the capsul and still get benefits?
I have opened up my ADHD medication capsules before and just taken half as a powder and washed down with a liquid
Call a pharmacist and ask. They know as much or more than a doctor about pills.

In the liquid form, at small doses, would it be better to consume sublingually? Hold it under the tongue for 30-60 seconds before swallowing for faster and better absorption? Or is sublingual a subpar route of ingestion?

You can get smaller dose medications from compounding pharmacies.
it probably won't be covered by insurance, but if you can/want to pay out of pocket then that's definitely an option i imagine
@@agkdjsdjkd It will be covered, but will be at a (much) higher "non-preferred" rate. e.g. If you pay by percentage: Instead of 10% copay for preferred generic, it will be 20-50%. If you pay by a flat rate, expect that to be at least doubled too.
@@Nyx773 i was told it might not be covered at all when i suggested merely to take the 5mg chewable tablets for kids for lamictal instead of the lowest 25mg for adults bc "there's no evidence to support it's necessity". how do you know for certain they will cover it (genuine question)?
@@agkdjsdjkd Good point, I don't know for certain for a child/micro-dose (but I made my comment assuming the adult smallest dose). However, stating "might" implies that you didn't try to get the prescription filled and therefore also do not know for certain. Each insurance company and policy is different, which will lead to different outcomes.
I am an NP at an HRT clinic that has its own compound pharmacy. You are absolutely correct when saying that the drugs are much higher for patients. Insurance companies cover very little. @@agkdjsdjkd

Maybe. In my case caffeine doesn't seem to affect me much but I have to take low doses of psychiatric medications.
It probably depends on the person. If you think you could have problems ask to start out on a lower dose.
Thank you for this 💙
I view a recreational psychedelic dose as an overdose. Tripping is its side-effects. Therapeutic, yes, beneficial, yes, non-toxic, yes, still an overdose. That is why a normal dose of other would fall in the category of a microdose as is. That means a microdose of psychedelics can probably qualify as a normal, therapeutic dose, IMO.
Microdosing mushies is the most beneficial to me , it’s nearly always helpful and I need to take less breaks . However microdosing acid is very touchy and should be used sparingly, no more than twice a week to be honest. I find it’s harder to measure as well
im a fast metabolizer. my lowest working dosages are the max or ABOVE the normal max dosage and whenever i see a new doctor they always ask if im sure about my dosages

I recommend listening to Andrew Huberman's podcast on the topic. Apparently 20-25mg psilocybin is the most therapeutically beneficial and effective. There is roughly 10mg of psilocybin per 1gram of dried shrooms but online for the strain I have told me that a trip dose would be 1.7grams so that is what I plan to do.

По сравнению с алкоголем и сигаретами это псилоцибиновые грибы самые безопасные. Но торговым и медицинским корпорациям не выгодно чтобы люди это знали. Алкоголь убивает гораздо больше людей, люди не понимают, насколько опасен алкоголь. Многие мои близкие не дожили до 55 лет из-за алкоголя. Хотя, грибы не каждому можно принимать.

I have liquid prozac. I get terrible side effects and I plan on starting really low and increasing it super slowly IF I muster up the courage to even start, as I've had awful experiences in the past with medications, especially sertraline. I'll start with 2.5mg for a week. Has anyone done this with prozac?
My main concern is tachycardia as that's what sertraline did to me.
So weird. I was just thinking about microdosing red wine and this video pops up. What are the odds.
So question Tracey, is codependency a form of diagnosis in the DSM-V? What are the real signs and symptoms if this is true? (I’m thinking of also signing up for your mental health subscriptions)
Definitely a slow metabolizer and if a meditation says it has side effects, I will have them 😔
I agree. I don't get every side effect but I get a lot and a lot of rare side effects.
I am depressed (I don't believe I *have* depression though) and I have ADHD. I have *serious* problems with anti-depressants, and pretty much anything that works in a similar fashion (apparently there's an ADHD medication that creates the same nightmare experience for me), but psychiatric doctors rarely believe me, and still pressure me into taking drugs that I have years of horrible, dangerous experiences with.
Am I the only person who has this problem?
I'm guessing these are mostly reuptake inhibitor drugs, and all of them cause me intense despair, helplessness, and rage. I want to do horrible things to myself to stop the overwhelming, intense, and emotionally crushing feelings.
Why do my doctors risk this, even after I tell them these types of drugs will break me, and make me more likely to unalive myself?
Why do they seem incredulous?
Am I the only person who is absolutely destroyed by these drugs?
Am I an anomaly?
Am I wrong?
Am I imagining this?
Have I created this in my head?
Why would a doctor deliberately put me through that kind of hell?
Sorry to hear that. But the rage and intense overwhelmed feeling might be because you might be bipolar. ADHD meds and anti-depressants, when not controlled, can push one into a hypomanic state. One symptom of hypomania is extreme irritability, leading to extra sensitivity, then eventually overwhelmed.
I suggest that if you can, change your psychiatrist. They should be taking how you respond to the meds into account so you can switch meds until you find the mix that works
Same here I can feel you + having serious mental problems but no medication helps is so debilitating.
I'm the same. I'm really sorry you're in the middle of this now! I only found a good psychiatrist who listened to me just last year, and now, as a 44yo is the first time I am on a medication that works out for me.
Do you have the opportunity to get your CYP enzymes assessed?
It may be relevant for you, my psychiatrist suspects it is for me, and that has finally clicked.
Best of luck!
@@pbbbfftno it sounds like they have akathisia
ADHD and depression are common comorbidities. I am pretty sure that treatment resistant depression is more common with ADHD as well.
I work in mental health and I think the prescription medications are what should be illegal for the most part. No matter what they say it's all guesswork.
It's all very complicated
I micro dose on magnesium since I worked out I'm having adverse effects and no improvement. I still have severe anxiety, brain fog, moodswing like you wouldnt believe and chest pains from it.....imaging myself micro dosing psychedelics 😵💫😳😱 HELL NO!!!
What ??? Why would you think MICRO dosing MAGNESIUM would help
@tulip811 because naturopath said I'm deficient in magnesium but it made me very unwell so they said take micro doses, like just a couple drops in water every second day but it still made me very ill, all treatments do, including acupuncture and chiropractic. My resistance is powerful to the point it's killing me. All good tho, I'm ok with that now.
If your magnesium comes as liquid drops, then either there's preservative, which might be causing the bad reaction. Or without preservative, then the water would get contaminated, and then it would make you really sick.
I take 4.0 g Epsom salts daily, I'd recommend starting at 0.5 g, and increasing until you start to notice a laxative effect, then reduce by 0.5 g.
Fruit juice with pineapple really covers up the taste. Since starting, I found I have better pain control, and fewer migraines. My depression is better than it was before starting Epsom salts to increase my Magnesium.
@@davidestabrook5367 you're totaly off with that solution in regards to magnesium. It's any form of magnesium, even foods high in magnesium does it.
@@iamthatiam363 I know that a lot of people have issues with high sulphur containing foods, or medications with sulphur molecules in their structures.
I haven't hear of that happening with magnesium before, but it sounds like that's an issue with you. It really sucks to have health problems, and I'm sorry it's been bothering you.
Still, I'm curious about what form your microdosed magnesium comes in. As there's various magnesium salts and formulations. Do you have the product name and manufacturer?
I'm asking because I do compounding. Making capsules, nasal spray, but the most complicated one, is compounding solutions for IV use. As sterile solutions have to used within 4 hours of opening. And the open container needs to be protected from the dust in air, as that contains bacteria, virus, mould spores.
acid > shrooms more in control less emotional and less seriousness than mushrooms
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Either way around, isn't psilocybin microdosing a clinical trial instead of an experiment? which means there's higher likability of things going wrong, and i assume a person needs to be lifetime evaluated by psychiatrists to be given when a person is non adherent to major depression treatment with SSRI where he/she be at risk to him/her self.
Ok but people with Bipolar or even worse schizophrenia can have their symptoms intensified with microdosing. I have seen it myself. Why are you not mentioning the side effects?
And young people are more prone to develop HPPD because of psychedelics even if they microdose
@Philpsychedelic You are probably damaged by it.

Thc is meant for those who can handle it same with sycodelics there not meant for everyone
Plus SSRI's contain copious flouride levels,highly attracted to the pineal gland system causing calcification of this important mechanism and that's not even touching the vast ammount of 'rewiring' occurring in the brains neural network ? Evil stuff.Prolonged fasting is the way imho,probably in tandem with psylosibin micro-dosage for those BDNF and stem-cell activations ?
Haha
Should an individual with a history of psychotic illness try to microdose acid?
No. But if they do, it should be done under medical supervision.
@@Nyx773 thanks for the response. Guess I won't be eating acid then, oh well. Appreciated.
Having a history of psychotic illness is one of the only instances in which I would not recommend using any amount of hallucinogens, stimulants or even cannabis. These substances can trigger psychotic episodes in individuals who are predisposed. Microdosing without the approval/guidance of an MD is like rolling the dice. I wouldn’t try it.
@@truthinlogic1512 More like Russian roulette than dice rolling.
@@Nyx773 Let's play devils advocate for a moment, Let's say - hypothetically - that I have schizoaffective disorder, would eating acid really be that bad? Genuine curiosity here.
This is like asking a butcher how to perform opened heart surgery
I think that Prozac or any other medication for depression. I was on 250 mg with nothing but effects ! Not good ones ! It was horrible. I had seizures for years ! I have been on so meds that never worked and it changed my life in such a horrible way I would recommend never taking them to anyone. They are full of fluoride as filler which is horrible for you and has been linked to low iq with babies in women who are pregnant . It’s all horrible for you. You may not know this to people who think they need meds like if your bi polar or Schizophrenia that changing your diet is the very first thing you need to do. Unfortunately stop eating anything sugar , processed and made with gluten maybe even dairy. If you can try this for yourself any amount of time I’m positive you will feel much better and some people it takes care of all symptoms. Please try the ketogenic type diet for at least a month and see how it affects you only instead of negative effects from medication you wil only have positive effects. You can’t cheat though. You gotta stick it out. One slip up will set you back. But fruit is ok and if you put heavy cream on it it is just as good as ice cream. Then after you get the sugar first then processed food altogether then dairy for some but gluten and sugar we can’t eat. It’s toxic to most folks with symptoms like depression and Schizophrenia. It’s hard but we’ll worth it
Your advice is dangerous to some people. It can be very dangerous for some people to go off of their meds. You can try a keto diet while still taking medicine. Then try slowly lowering your medication under a doctor's care.

Yeah you really cant microdose LSD, so go with shrooms.
I trust Nature over manufacture.

if you say so, I say chemicals are chemicals, created by man or found naturally it makes no difference
Yes it works,the whole field of homeopathy is based microdosing.
Wo.dering when science will catch up
