I thought I'd share my experiences with it to manage my depression and suicidality:
So I've been microdosing psilocybin via tea for the past two weeks, taking it every three days.
So far, it's worked better than any anti depressant I've used (sertraline and Lexapro and lithium) without any side effects that'd you get from ssris (fatigue, insomnia, hunger pain, sexual dysfunction).
I get a little buzz after I take it (not getting high by any means) like I can take on the world. I haven't been acutely suicidal or thought about suicide all that much. It's very weird to exist without being suicidal after experiencing for so long. I'm not "cured" by any means just numbed up enough that I can function normally.
I think it works because I've just received some very irritating life news, normally the kind of thing that'd send me into a suicidal spiral, but I've taken it in stride and my mood hasn't change.
For disclosure, I'm also using magnesium and lithium supplements which may be contributing.
