Psilocybin

[LuvSun]

Anybody tried psilocybin ( magic mushrooms) for OCD?

I feel like that would be a bad idea. Just from the times I’ve smoked weed. Usually people with ocd do not do well with psychoactive drugs. But. Every person is different. And definitely micro dose if you do

Thanks for replying. I have just read some articles recently about it helping with some mental problems. 🧐

They think that it can really help with ptsd, but also that’s micro dosing. Not eating multiple mushrooms at one time.

Hey there LuvSun,

I would be wary of trying anything that doesn't have solid scientific research behind it for OCD. If you do decide to try it I would definitely talk to your psychiatrist or therapist first and follow their advice. There are some conditions where psychedelics have been found to be effective, but as far as I'm aware, OCD is not one of them. I could be wrong though and I would encourage you to always follow your medical team's advice and keep them informed of any changes you want to make to your treatment plan.
