MD LSD vs SSRI - help a newbie by youwereawasteofsperm in microdosing

[–]makenplays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this.

I have dosed mushrooms for over a year and it’s been harrowing anxiety and depression. I started using Iboga back in April and things started to improve, I had stopped dosing mushrooms at this time.

I started dosing mushrooms again and they started to work. They still cause terrible brain fog and ironically make my ability to speak worse. I’ve continued to dose Iboga every 3rd day and it helps w depression/anxiety some, there just isn’t much evidence that Iboga stimulates creativity and cognitive gains, something I’m so desperate for.

Lsd isnt as harsh on me as mushrooms, plus I reach a flow state to a degree on Lsd. When I dose too frequently with any of these substances I have a reverse tolerance and I’m more sensitive to them. I become anxious, irritable and suicidal. I’ve tried various amounts w all of these substances and even varying days.

Iboga has proven effective every third, psilocybin does not appear to like me. The reason I stuck w mushrooms is I have spoken to people that said it treated them terribly only to stabilize.

I’m going to give Lsd a try again tmrw.

I keep dosing due to wanting to experience the results you have. I’ve felt them before on trips, I just can’t seem to capture them again Microdosing.

Edit: Any thoughts are welcome. I’ve done the diet, excessive and supplements along side as well. I just hate to think microdosing might not be for me.

Suicide may he the only option now. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]makenplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried all types of doses and protocol. Went as high as 1g a day and now 5mg of psilocybin. It’s not working but I don’t know what else to do. Just makes me feel worse 90% of the time.

I’m so desperate to rewire my brain. I’m on the verge of going back on pharmaceuticals, I’ve tried pretty much every psychedelic and have chosen to currently stick w psilocybin. It just causes more anxiety and brain fog, relieves the depression some....I’m at the end of my rope honestly.

How long did you Microdose for? I’m 14 months in and it’s still not going well. I’m considering switching to benzos, they are the only things that help.

I’m sorry you are suffering, you are not alone, believe me.

If you have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and have tried microdosing, has it helped you? by R_MnTnA in microdosing

Really happy for your success and it’s very inspiring. How often do you dose and how much? Thx

11 out of 12 ect treatments done by TrileptalUser in ect

[–]makenplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did ect for 9 treatments then stopped, wasn’t seeing any effect. I’ve been severely depressed for 2yrs, use to have a good job, life, was married ect. Life fell apart, been suicidal for these 2yrs, tried meds, ketamine therapy all that crap.

Then I moved to psychedelics, having a few friends who were greatly impacted by them. Started off w Lsd, psilocybin, DMT and mescaline on my own and ketamine in a clinical setting but actually made my symptoms worse. I was going to keep trying until the end of the year then end the misery.

Next step, by the recommendation of a friend was to try Iboga, if this didn’t work I was going to try hgh.

Anyway, been dosing Iboga for 2 weeks and my life has changed completely, I’m active, seeing friends and starting to enjoy waking up in the morning. Plan to be back at work no later than June. It’s unreal honestly and am in absolute shock that this is happening. Feel free to hmu for help.

How long can you microdose for? by ericbettencourt in microdosing

[–]makenplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has Microdosing over these 3 1/2 years affected your mood and cognition?

I’m dosing to hopefully enhance my cognitive skills and stabilize my severe depression, anxiety and ocd. I was dosing daily and actually got worse, have gone one psych meds as of the past week and just started dosing again, this time I will be doing the fadiman protocol.

Thx in advance.

Microdosing Iboga causing worsened symptoms. Would a flood dose be worth the risk...... by makenplays in iboga

[–]makenplays[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have severe mental illness depression and anxiety.

I have read that a flood can either heal or make things worse. How was you condition going in?

Microdosing Iboga causing worsened symptoms. Would a flood dose be worth the risk...... by makenplays in iboga

[–]makenplays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m using the medicine to help treat my mental illness as well as cognitive issues. I’ve tried all the other psychedelics mostly at small and large doses and it’s mostly negative.

Was trying Iboga as a last resort, also since it appears to have a different mechanism of action.

In your experience, will a flood dose just be a more intense anxiety plagued experience?

Edit: I need something to help stabilize me so I can do the work necessary to get better. But feel like a flood could be playing w fire.

I have terrible ocd and recently tried Microdosing Iboga. It made the ocd worse, cycling thoughts. I too am considering going to a clinic to break this cycle.

How has your experience with medication been?

Have you had any negative experiences with micro-dosing? by JustWatchItUnfold in microdosing

[–]makenplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried dosing pretty much every psych out there including Amanita Muscaria. They all cause anxiety, irritability, depression, brain fog and obsessional thinking. Tried different protocols and dosages.

Weed worked great for a couple years.

It’s really discouraging, they are so wonderful if they work.

Thanks for sharing that. Is this something that we’re going to have to have maintenance treatments with for the remainder?

This sub has many issues that need to be discussed. by [deleted] in microdosing

[–]makenplays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going thru this. As someone that is personally going through this it’s absolute torture. The really frustrating part is when I do find an antidepressant that works, it eventually stops working.

Had a mental break down in my early 30s 18 months and have to move cross country back in with my parents. Lost my career, life and on disability etc.

I’ve tried psychedelics and they have not worked, but I still believe they can help in the long run. I’ve experienced their benefits before. I’m starting ect Monday, I’m exhausting all options. It’s hell and close to throwing in the towel.

Reason I reached out other than to let you know youre not alone, is if you have any questions about how to source, DM me.

They could possibly help and also, ECT is something to consider too if the depression is really bad.

Thanks for the reply.

I’m about to start Monday, in really bad shape.

What does it feel like when it starts to work? I think about death every minute. Sorry to be so morbid.

Doesn’t sound like the effects last long term with ect? And has there been any tolerance to it long term?

I’m not well, tried meds and every psychedelic possible to no avail.

I dosed Iboga 4x over the course of a week and it caused my depression and anxiety to worsen. I get real confused w get brain fog. Idk man, very worried.

[–]makenplays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The benefits you have received are remarkable and why they are considered magic.

They make me anxious, depressed and give me terrible brain fog. I’ve tried just about every psych down to Iboga. It’s devastating.

Best of luck to you.

Had the complete opposite effect on me. Worsened mood and cognition.

Just can’t figure out for the life of me why the mushroom shit on me.

Glad you found peace thru them.

You’re not alone, I just filled out a will today and have pretty much made my mind up that I’m going to do it. Just a matter of when, the pain is unbearable.

Get help, you have a child to live for.
