I tried a healer. No luck. I have bad psychosis and paranoia. Got to take my meds.

Thanks, I was honestly hoping someone...anyone has had luck with marijuana and micro dosing magic mushrooms. I’ve heard things but I don’t know if it’s worth getting off my meds to try. It’s really risky for me...

You don't need to go off med for Marijuana. If you're going to explore micro dosing do it with a veteran shroomer

Honestly, weed lol psychedelics. Specifically shrooms, not acid. Acid is great, I prefer it to shrooms, but you have to basically take 2 days off of life to really enjoy it and come down from it. But those are the only alternatives I suggest.

Weed helps a lot but I still need meds too. Mushrooms benefits don’t last as long as I wish

Weed does help but if I smoke to much of it it makes me very paranoid I've never taken shrooms in my life I would think it would make your episodes worse ? Have u tried a mood stabilizer? Ask your psych doctor about different treatment options wish I can help more

I’m on 8 different medications currently and take then religiously... But I read a pdf file on a man who has Bipolar 1 and he’s high functioning and micro doses with shrooms and self medicates with marijuana between micro dosing and he’s been Episode free doing so for over 2 years!!! I just want to know if ANYONE else has had a similar experience doing so...I don’t plan to EVER stop my meds, I can’t, but is there a simpler way to medicate with fewer medications???
