Reply to comment by mauinion in Single-Dose Psilocybin for a Treatment-Resistant Episode of Major Depression | NEJM by 9mac

I'm glad you found something that worked, but two months seems like a very short period of time to trial four (!) different meds.

Indeed it was a short amount of time. I immediately didn't like the way it made me feel, and then reading about withdrawals, side effects, and weaning off them made it clear it wasn't the path I wanted.

I was better off with alcoholism, anxiety and depression.

The more I read about the medications, the more I realized that any perceived benefits above placebo were more than likely 'by chance' and not because the meds actually were designed to have the outcomes in trials that they had.

I really wanted something more natural, non invasive, and easy to put down. I tried THC / CBD and that was a fail as well. I had done mushrooms recreationally many years ago, but never considered them as medicine. It really is a major breakthrough for treatment IMHO

It's there a guide you use for dosing? What form do you consume the mushrooms in?

There is more than enough info on /r/microdosing

I use it in capsule form from a place in Canada. It has some other medicinal mushrooms in it too, like Lions Maine, etc. 20mg of psilocybin mushrooms per capsule.
