Let’s be careful about billing psilocybin microdosing as a cure-all. I’m glad it worked well for you but I am curious if you also incorporated journaling, therapy, exercise, and other mindfulness as you worked on your depression? Additionally, how long ago did you microdose, and do you foresee the effects lasting, or do you feel like eventually you will “tune up” again?
Many people over on r/microdosing approach it as if it were some miracle drug and are bummed when it does not treat their depression/OCD/anxiety/etc. It is medicine but it takes a holistic approach to making modifications to your behaviors.
Additionally, it is best to follow a protocol and not take it every day. For example, the Fadiman protocol has you microdose 1 day on, 2 days off. I personally found that with both psilocybin and LSD that the days off were the ones that were super transformative for me, when lessons were revealed, old habits changed, new routines established.
As I said, I’m really happy it worked well for you but there are many caveats that people need to be aware of. For me, personally, it has been transformative in addition to some carefully placed macrodoses, daily journaling, therapy, and exercise.
