I’ve been a recreational user of psychedelics before I got depressed (I sufferd post partum depression after my daughter was born). A year after her birth I was still feeling like crap most of the time, crying, anxious and feeling dull. I gave LSD a try again. And man I have not felt this good in that whole misrble year. I laughed during my whole trip like I had to catch up on not having a laugh for the past year. I did some more LSD trips in the months after that and I am feeling reborn. Energized, happy and I feel like great mom! Ofcourse time also played it’s part, and the fact that babies tent to sleep better after a while, but still I think LSD speeded up the process and gave me much more that I could have imageded

I have suffered from depression for most of my adult life. At times it’s been a very deep dark ordeal lasting years. Conventional medications seem to have no effect. The only way I’ve noticed they do anything at all, is when I stop doing them, and my condition worsens. I hadn’t tried psychedelic substances because I was afraid it would accentuate the problem. When I finally found the courage to try mushrooms, I was pleasantly surprised that depressive symptoms subsided for at least a couple weeks. My friends pointed out that the tremors I have had for years, (perhaps from the psych meds) subsided immediately upon using the mushrooms. In the last couple years I’ve increased the dosage, and have noticed the period of relief has increased to 2 or 3 months. I am still on the psych meds as when I tried to eliminate them I crashed hard. I am functioning very well with a fairly high dose of cubensis ( 3.5 grams) every 3 months. I prefer to do them alone in a comfortable environment. This has been the best I’ve felt in my entire adult life. I wish there were more research done with psyliciben. Somewhere there may be a better treatment perhaps with microdosing, that could eliminate the need for the conventional psych meds.

[…] A growing body of evidence suggests that various psychedelics can treat depression. Recent large studies, using the psychedelics psilocybin and ayahuasca, have shown that a single moderate dose of these substances can significantly reduce depression scores. The antidepressant effect of psychedelics also seems to last for much longer than typical treatments, with reduced depression scores maintained for several months after treatment. […]
