Discussion Have you ever tried microdosing to help with suicidal thoughts?

[emptygal]

and how did it affect your overall being?

I tried microdosing magic truffles at the beginning of 2021. I dried them and took dosages of 0,3 grams up to 1,0 grams. With a couple of days in between dosages to see if I could notice any differences. Sadly it didn't do anything for me. Can't really say I noticed any effect at all. The usual ups and downs. I was still feeling like my usual self; depressed, anxious and suicidal.

I think "microdosing" cannabis works pretty well regulary (unless it's it's T-break)- and then perhaps in once a week or two it's worth taking something besides that (Heavenly blue, or LSA works pretty well for me- but I would also love to try some shrooms, and that sorta).

damnit! but did any "normal" dosage work for you?

Sounds interesting! How often, and how much do you consume a micro dose of cannabis?

Well, I try to manage with one gram for a week, by just having little peps daily.

my mum thinks I'm too spoiled to be depressed (lol) so I've never tried any sort of medication to ease my mental pain ever in my life and from what I heard from other people's experiences, I'd rather CTB than be stuck in that shitshow ngl. though some people do feel better, depends on the person. I hope you find what suits you!

If you feel like it, then you should definitely move toward it.

I did shrooms and truffles in the past. In a normal dose it did something, but it was kinda different every time. I never really experienced any pronounced visuals. More like a deeper connection to myself, kinda spiritual, I was able to gain a different perspective on myself and my problems. At least for a short amount of time. (don't really want to try again because I developed dissociation since then, afraid I might get stuck in something like that) Too bad the microdosing didn't work for me. I'm sure it can be beneficial for some people.

I tried microdosage with magic truffles that was left from a trip for a few days, it worked a little with anxiety. I was an heavy user of weed for years and in the long run it seems like a bad idea, because it made me a lil more anxious and reduced my capacity to endure unpleasants situations/emotions while fully sober and i needed a joint for everything. I switched back succesfully to occasional use. Normal dosage of psilo in one trip makes me feel somewhat better for a few days/weeks

I feel you! I smoked weed multiple times daily (little dosage but it came up to 0,5g/d) for more than 2 years but quit cold turkey 2 months ago, because I wanted to go to therapy. But my social anxiety got super worse since then and i barely can leave my room now, neither respond to text messages.

Have you tried it just one single time or over a period?

I just took my first 10 micrograms of 1D-LSD an hour ago to get some shit done, and it hopefully motivates me to get some shit done..

Woah if one gram a week is microdosing then I guess I'm nanodosing because now that amount would last me a month or maybe a little less I used to smoke a gram a week when addicted to something else

Wooooow!!! I'm honestly impressed! How can you be that self-disciplined ? And how do you consume it?

I have no self discipline lol, had a 6 month break so my tolerance went back to 0 and now I'm trying to keep it as low as possible, maybe I get strong strains because little amounts can get me really stoned. It's more efficient and saves money when you have low tolerance. Also I smoke straight from an improvised aluminum pipe or a glass one and try to not smoke more than once or twice a day

Kinda, but I just recently started vaping so perhaps I get more out of it then just by burning it with regular pipe.

I tried shrooms today for the first time. Maybe I didn't take enough but I didn't experience any major changes, certainly no visual or auditory hallucinations. Made me a bit more introspective but I was still coming back to those suicidal thoughts & if anything they felt more beautiful, more peaceful. I also started feeling worried and existential because of various things I'd missed out on, on the fact I'll never remember all the books I've read, how I'll never do xyz. I started feeling really unusually empathetic and low towards the audiobook I was listening to - again, this feeling of existential loss. Hard to describe but it got rid of some of my numbness, but it was replaced by emotions which were difficult to cope with.

I might try a higher dose but generally speaking, it kind of affirmed my desire to die rather than getting rid of it.
Forgot to say also that I have tried LSD before, too, but it didn't do anything for me. Not sure if it was bad or something but I have a history of psychotic symptoms and have heard that it doesn't work as well for people with schizo-spectrum disorders so perhaps that is why.

sry for the delayed answer, i didn't login to the site lately, i tried microdosage of psilo only for a few days, it worked a little but i have not enough data to know if it was placebo or really efficient. I didn't feel stomachache coming with anxiety and felt less confuse than average when i'm highly anxious and feeling like i lose control. Anxiety was still a little present, but it felt more manageable. Also i have to say that the reason i was anxious was more because my work is very demanding and stressful than a psychiatric issue imo.
