Rx vs microdosing

[VivianGreen]

Does anyone have experience with micro-dosing mushrooms for anxiety and depression? I know many people who have had success but no one who has switched from Rx to micro-dosing. I’m wondering about the transition and if it’s worth trying. I know from my own research that my SSRI blocks the function of the mushrooms so I assume they won’t work until I’m not on the SSRI anymore. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I don't but the research they have been doing on it is fascinating and I've been wanting to try it as well the problem for me is its illegal which messes with my ocd and anxiety justvthat fact sets me off and afraid of trying it, but I have heard positive things, some of the papers I've read however only talk about using "heroic doses" so a large dose but ibthink micro would be good too.

The people I know who are having success live in Canada and they can mail order them. I know they are illegal there as well but much easier to get then in the US. It would be much easier if they were legal so that we could have honest conversations with our doctors about them and there could be studies about transitioning from SSRI’s to psilocybin

Personally, I don't have experience but it's something I've been interested in for a very long time. After hearing Paul Stamets give a talk on mushrooms I started down the path of an amateur mycologist years ago, they're fascinating!

The idea of having some kind of psychedelic experience seems scary to me. I know lion's mane mushrooms can be neuro-regenerative too though.

I'm eager to see what the new studies will show and more than a little annoyed that they were ever forced to stop in the first place.
