Checkmate big Pharma, I'm a poster-pilled serotonin factory now. I've seized the memes of endorphin production and liberated myself from Capitalism. Posting is praxis and I'll cry if anyone tells me otherwise, so you better not! You'd hate it. I'm a real ugly cryer.
Mushrooms helped me a ton more than SSRIs, very recommended for depression and anxiety. Of course, research a bit before taking them, don't just trust me. They are much less toxic than the opioids the doctors give you and have a better effect on you, with moderate to high improvement of depressive symptoms within a week. You can already find studies on psylocibin for depression, and I have tried it myself to confirm those studies too, they are great.

Glad someone said it. A lot of people with mental illness do not benefit from mushrooms or other psychedelics and they only make their conditions far worse. I do have psychosis and mushrooms run a very high risk of causing me to develop full blown schizophrenia if I take them. They could potentially do permanent damage to a person if they aren't careful. People often adopt the "it's natural, therefore it is less harmful than the pills big pharma tries to use on us." But just because something is safe for one person, doesn't mean it is safe for another. I don't think they are nearly as harmless as their enthusiasts claim. I've seen too many people fall into really dark patterns(and worse) due to them, despite claiming they are "more wise" and "their mind has been opened" thanks to psychedelics.
That's why I always say to research and not just trust me, for many people it can be a miracle cure, for others it can have negative effects, I also had some bad trips until I controlled more the dosage. All I can say is that I recommend researching about them. I understand your point and I'm sorry they had a negative impact on you, but if it weren't for posts like these that spiked my curiosity for psychedelics, I wouldn't have discovered the medicine that cured my depression.
Lets hope that these obscure bans on drugs get repealed for research and we start making actual science and medicine with these, because today's capitalist rather have us addicted to opioids and sell us snake oil, and banning our cures, because that's profitable.
🍄 fan club meets every 8th day of the week. You can only get there when you're tripping hard maaaaaaaannnnnn.
Shitposting aside - yes. Please do look into Ketamine/Shrooms as an option for hard to treat depression. They are wonderful, but need to be used responsibly.
Agreed, I have definitely benefited a lot from psychedelics. Obviously you need to be careful with the dosage still, but it is much harder to od on.

Yeah I know some of those people too, mushrooms can give you a really nice warming feeling of happiness, but as you said it has to be with people you trust. I went yesterday to the woods for a long walk while on mushrooms and I felt amazing, really connecting with nature and my feelings. I tried them alone the first time as I didnt know any friend who used them, but I spent 2 months looking for data to know if they were safe, what dosage, effects, etc.
What dosage? I'm also under SSRIs and suffer from anorgasmia...

Dont take mushroom with SSRIs or any other antidepressants, you need to wait 2 weeks or you might have side effects.
Oh ok thanks.
SSRI/SNRI's will inhibit the effectiveness of shrooms. You'd have to wean off the pharma drugs and give your brain some time to adjust before starting shrooms. This can be pretty bad and risky if your depression is quite strong, so it's best to do it all under consolation with your doctor.
I tried asking him about psylocybin and microdosing but he doesn't agree with it all. So I'm kinda screwed :/
I don't know your insurance/care situation, but it is possible to find Doctors who are more supportive. You're entitled to change your provider and find someone that is willing to work with you. I don't mean to say shop around until you find someone to just agree with you - but at least someone who has a less rigid position on the matter and is willing to discuss it in the context of your care.
