severe social anxiety, GAD, depression... - microdosing
    #22412542 - 10/21/15 07:59 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I have been suffering from severe social anxiety disorder, GAD, depression for many years.
I would like to know if microdosing with psychedelics such as psilocybin or mescaline or even iboga could help me to relieve of these issues ? If yes, can you get me some advice where should i start first ?

Has anyone here had any success with microdosing and especially for social anxiety in the long term ?

Thanks.

Microdosing won't help. Microdosing is better for performance enhancement and it can help with mild depression, but honestly you should see someone. I'm not gonna recommend a larger dose of a psychedelic, but if psychedelics are to help you at all with this, you are better off trying a larger dose.

I'm about 50/50 on this one. In some sense, micro dosing can positively affect social outcomes, however in my experience it's after I've dealt with my own ego resistances. A lot of people report having strange experiences--a greater sense of depression when taking smaller doses. In this sense, what Hard Trippin suggests above may be more beneficial in the long run, as stronger dosages generally work more deeply with the psyche/ego/etc.

I've found that the realizations you make, often profoundly, in higher dosage experiences can be remembered and restored when taking subsequent smaller dosages. You can use the microdose as a pleasant reinforcer.

If I'm taking a gram or less it tends to be fresh, but I found that it works extremely well at helping depression and anxiety. Its completely euphoric and I laugh a lot. I combine it with a nice sativa though. Might want to give it a try. No one knows how mushrooms or other psychedelics affect you personally. Everyone is different. I'll agree with higher doses generally helping you on a deeper level though.

Smoke DMT to the point of breakthrough.
Also don't think if yourself as someone with disorders or that's all you'll be.
Who you are is only limited by who you think you are.

^what he said.

Try to meditate. One of the point of meditation is to understand that you are not what you think. A meditative state is like being a miror to bad thoughts (depression, insecurity, anxiety...) while the miror (you) isn't affected by what it reflects.

Good luck man :smile:

Yeah microdosing might even make your anxiety problems worse. It did for me at least cause I am very sensitive to mushrooms and was wondering if I was gonna accidental trip a little
