microdosing psychedelics
has anyone tried microdosing psychedlics like lsd or shrooms to boost problem solving, lessen anxiety, or increase creativity? i'm thinking of trying this out. the concept reminds me of nootropics.

I hate the term but some people I know and I have done it. It's quite useful. I don't have much anxiety, but I notice an increase in productivity .
It just sounds so hipster drug culture douchey. How about just "dosing"? I mean, if I eat a small sandwich, i don't say i'm micro-eating. And if I take a lot of drugs, I don't call it mega dosing...
If anyone has suggestions I'd love to try this too.
paul, what meds are they if u can state them?
yea i am gonna have to get a reputable plug too.
I ate 100mg of material every other day for fourteen days on three separate occasions, yalthough, It did cause me an increase in some already occurring social anxiety.
actii, im thinking of trying shrooms instead of lsd too. it inc ur social anxiety but what effects did it have on things like creativity if u dont mind telling?
I dunno I ate better, was more productive better at problem solving etc. Some confusion here and there spacey ness you could say
I am not really an artsy type so I think most of it is prob from eating better and while I think supplements are great I feel the effects are not cumulative in this regard, but I may try some of the more exotic options eventually
SWIM had good luck with mdma but again purity is a huge issue along with I imagine neuro toxicity with that
actii, interesting. swim cant wait to try. swim thinks mdma might b a bad idea - doesnt know if such small doses could accumulate and lead to serotonin syndrome.
eggit, thats very odd hahaha
I have tried analogues of LSD and related substances before, but got nothing more than annoyingly nauseated during and then cripplingly depressed the next day. I had hoped that would have worked both for anxiety and headaches since there's been some recent promising research on LSD and psilocin.
However, I did find that a quarter dose of ayahuasca did wonders for my mood and anxiety levels for several days without a hard crash later. Since half of ayahuasca is an MAOI, it's not surprising it would have an antidepressant/anxiolytic effect, but I was surprised how well it worked and for how long.
I've been doing them every second day in a microdose of .2-.3 grams, which at first I thought would have zero effect. But I am noticing pronounced effects on my speech patterns and how well I can communicate with other people(increased memory, better use of hand gestures, sentences flow better)..I've noticed it's easier to comprehend topics, as I took a microdose a day before a test at school studied for three hours and took in everything i read. Without much prior knowledge on the exam from not paying attention/ being lazy in class. I did manage to get a 76, which where I am from is a B.
