I've been eating them at 8 or 9am. Do some yoga/meditation and then get to work. But I write fiction so it's not like I"m out operating heavy machinery or anything.

This study references doses of 10 and 25 mg and the subjects reported having their brains "rebooted" and "defragged" which I find to be an accurate analogy. I'm a guy whose mental health has never been great and I find it just silences nagging anxieties. The increased energy is nice, too. I've pretty well quit caffeine already, because even on days when I'm not dosing I find I'm just not tired when I wake up. |

Patients unresponsive to conventional treatments benefit when treated with natural psychoactive compound, but researchers warn against self medication.

Please do not self medicate pals, it's very bad for you. In the unlikely event your trained, professional MSc. or Ph.D./MD degree-having therapist does put you on a hallucinogen, that's fantastic and exciting. But! Studies showing hallucinogenic drugs having the potential to help patients resistant to traditional mental health interventions tend to emphasize that A) the benefits are
potential, cf.
established or
proven B) exclusively relevant to patients who have actually undergone and shown substantive resistance to traditional interventions forms.
The study referenced does not, and these studies as a class do not, in
any way, shape or form suggest that you, internet user with no formal diagnosis, are likely to derive medical or psychiatric benefit from "microdosing" LSD on a self-medicating regime. Very much the opposite. Please do not do this. It is in very bad for you. If you aren't yet experiencing the bad effects, the odds are you will, but not until it's too late, and by then you will be longing for your minor depression days of yore.
If you struggle with mental health, please only take psychoactive medications in consultation with your trained, professional, MSc or Ph.D./MD degree-having therapist. Or, of course, if or once you are a sound mental health-haver, for recreational fun, in a controlled and responsible setting.

So, again, to emphasize a key point of this article that many people seem to miss when reading them,
researchers warn against self medication.
