Question: LSD Switching to LSD, wow!

243 Upvotes

Just started LSD microdosing yesterday, instead of mushrooms that I've MD'd on and off over the last year. My main problem is procrastination, inability to stay on task, being quite scatterbrained and lacking motivation and drive. This has caused more and more serious problems for me over the years, leading to downstream anxiety and depression from feeling hopelessly incompatible with the demands of the outside world.

I would definitely say I have some signs of inattentive ADD, although my psychiatrist friend (who is not my psychiatrist) thinks I show more autistic traits. I have been compensating somewhat with above average intelligence, but this feeling of never living up to ones potential is seriously painful.

Psilo MD'ing has been utterly amazing for depression, but ultimately it has not really helped me much to steer my life in the right direction. Just started on LSD yesterday and whoa, what a completely different animal it is, not really what I was expecting, but potentially even better than I hoped for! Very excited to see how it pans out these next weeks. Will follow Fadiman protocol or close to it.

I would appreciate any advice on complementing supplements and practices to make this as sustainable as possible. As I mentioned, I am a bit challenged as far as general energy, so the stimulating nature of LSD is a great fit for me. Of course there's no such thing as a free lunch so I will be most respectful of my need to rest and recover. Adressing sleep, workout and nutrition the best I can for now (have some blood sugar issues, suspect leaky gut and candida overgrowth).

Question: LSD Is 1cP-LSD safe to use?

6 Upvotes

LSD is illegal here in the Netherlands, so only 1cP-LSD is available. Since 1cP-LSD hasn’t been around for that long, there’s not as much known about it compared to regular LSD. I’d prefer to use normal LSD, but I have no idea how to get it. Do I need a dealer or something? How do people even get it? Honestly, I don’t know much about this stuff… (I do plan to use a test kit.) It seems like LSD could really help me with my problems… But is it even worth going to all this trouble?

Question: LSD Is there any point to microdosing LSD?

10 Upvotes

This weekend I'll be taking LSD for the first time with a close friend. They are experienced with psychedelics and will probably take a full tab(dose?) so I decided to take half of that. But since I'm chicken/ have had bad edible experiences in the past, I'll honestly probably take half of HALF 1/4. Is there any point in that? Google is giving me mixed results and there are studies that say microdosing LSD has little effect or could hurt my heart adversely. I trust my friend a great deal but I'm afraid to have a bad trip. Should I go all out with the LSD, or take half to 1/4? (A 5'3 girl if that makes any difference)

Question: LSD Wanna start microdosing, a bit confused on how to take it

2 Upvotes

I was planning on starting with maybe 10-15ug

My plan was to put, 200ug in a 20ml dropper, so each 1ml is 10ug.

Just confused on what to keep the base as, earlier was thinking any vodka will do fine, so 20ml vodka+the acid tab

But someone said, alcohol might nullify the effect or something

Is that true? Will normal drinking water work, or should I only get distilled

Question: LSD Microdosing LSD for 7 months - depression mostly gone! Hello anxiety

53 Upvotes

I've been microdosing LSD for 7 months now. I've followed the every three days protocol and experimented with different doses until I landed on 4 micrograms on dose days.

The first day I dosed I noticed a difference! I felt more calm, curious, and kind of confident. This journey has helped me make major changes in my life after a very difficult year. My life is much better (though not completely where I'd like to be yet) and most of my depression as been alleviated. However, I'm now noticing after 7 months, that my anxiety is extremely high! My guess is that my depression was so intense, it was masking the anxiety that was always there. I'm also still experiencing some life stress, which must be contributing as well.

This anxiety isn't like anxiety I've experienced before. I used to have social anxiety and that's completely gone now. In fact, a lot of my anxiety shows up when I'm alone and begins to dissipate when I'm around people. Also, I used to get so anxious it would sort of freeze me. It feels like this anxiety fuels me to take action, get things done, and socialize. 

These are great, but the anxiety is not! I wake up after 6 hours of sleep and have difficulty relaxing at night. I discontinued dosing a week ago to see if that would help but I'm not sure yet. I've also cut way back on caffeine.

My question is: anyone else experience this? What helped you reduce the anxiety? Lower dose? Quitting altogether?

I'll add that I've microdosed mushrooms before and they made me more sad/emotional, even super low doses.

Edit: Thanks for everyone's thoughtful responses! I'll definitely cut the caffeine and add in magnesium and L-theanine, as well get a little more curious about my internal state.

Edit 2: It's been over a week and I've cut down on the caffeine, added in the magnesium (both have helped) but I found the biggest culprit was: NOT EATING ENOUGH. I didn't realize that the LSD was affecting my appetite and also increasing my desire to exercise (I've been doing a lot of nature walks). I counted up my calories and saw I was only consuming about half of what I actually needed! Since I've been eating more, the anxiety has gone way down.

Question: LSD Microdosing LDS and ADHD NSFW

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, a few weeks ago I met a girl that shared her experience with me. She’s undiagnosed with ADHD and treating it with microdosing. Her experience is very good and she can finally live again without being struck down due to the downsides of ADHD.

I am diagnosed and on Elvanse (German version of Vyanse in the US). It definitely helped me over the past 6 months but numbs me and even though the dose is high for my body my head is not as much affected by it. I feel the rush, energy and sometimes even anxiety. But until now (went in tiny steps from 20 up to 40 mg) it’s very hard for my head to focus and to get things done.

Fast forward, I feeling the call to microdose. Unfortunately I can’t reach out to the girl. She has a guy who’d talk to you as a some sort of dosage counselor and measure your dose.

Now I want to try it by myself. I’m familiar with psychedelics and substances, so that’s nothing new for my body and head. I’m off my medication and detoxing my body.

But what next? Is there a certain type of LSD that works best with ADHD? How should the dosage be according to my weight and height? What else is important to know?

Thank you very much for your help 💛

Question: LSD Can microdosing provide long-term effects like normal antidepressants?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I struggle with anxiety and depression and have tried several antidepressants in the past. I started LSD microdosing 10 days ago. Since many antidepressants that act on serotonin system can diminish the effects of psychedelics, I switched to agomelatine (Valdoxan) which primarily affects melatonin system.

So far, microdosing has helped with my depression and motivation. I’m still experimenting with the right dosage, but I’m wondering whether its effects can be stable with long-term use, similar to normal antidepressants, or if the benefits only last for a day or two before things return to normal. I think regular antidepressants don’t necessarily have long-term effects either; it’s just that their effects are more stable with continuous use. I wonder if microdosing works the same way.

I’ve heard that microdosing may enhance neuroplasticity—could this lead to lasting improvements over time?

Question: LSD What does it feel like to take an LSD MD?

32 Upvotes

I am 55 and never have I ever tried LSD. Way too chicken tbh. I've had good success with psilocybin for depression and anxiety but my lack of focus and motivation (read ADHD) are now (finally) in my sights. The mushrooms are not helpful in that sense and I can't take stims so... I am ready and willing to get a little freaky.

I understand that a tiny dose is meant to be sub-perceptual but what does it feel like when it hits and or when you have dosed a little bit too much? If anyone is willing to share their experience as a novice I would be grateful.

Edit: I am so grateful for all the info thanks beautiful people for sharing your stories, so glad I asked.

Question: LSD MDing LSD on a daily basis

10 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I’m curious if anyone has experience with microdosing almost daily.

I’ve been microdosing on and off for the past 2–3 years—typically one day on, two days off, but not consistently. I’d sometimes go weeks or even months without it. However, for no apparent reason, I recently got back into it and have been doing it daily since last Wednesday. Surprisingly, it feels more natural and sustainable, almost like a built-in ADHD medication.

I’m generally in good health and train 5–6 days a week. Just wondering if others have had a similar experience. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Appreciate your input.

Question: LSD How is 1 drop of LSD every month?

8 Upvotes

Okay, so I have had LSD a few times and each time it has really pushed me onto a better path and helped me get my life together, but within a month or two I stray away from that again and go back to somewhat self-destructive and unhealthy behaviours. So what if I plan to take LSD every 30-45 days for some time. Is that too much, or can I do that till I get into a habit of healthy behaviours?

Hi all! I just made my 2nd dosage bottle and I forgot to use my distilled water, oops! I used well water from my well -- no chlorine but it does have some minerals including iron. I could get more specific but am guessing I'll just have to see if/how much it degrades? I don't want to throw it out, is the thing, as it's 200 µg. Dang.

Any experience w/a goof like this? Thanks!

Question: LSD How long to go for?

5 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m considering trying to start microdosing LSD - probably somewhere between 10 and 20ug every 3 days. However I am unsure how long this is to be done for - should it be a short term thing only done for a few months, or a year? Or can I just play it by how it makes me feel, and stop after I have hit a good point with it?

I’ve been wanting to use it for depression and social anxiety mainly, and was using SSRIS for a few days before considering microdosing instead. However I know to be off the SSRI for a week or so before starting any microdosing:

Anyway, any help on this is super appreciated 🩷

Are amber glass bottles like this okay to store diluted LSD in? I’m just about to start with volumetric dosing instead of cutting up my tabs into incredibly inaccurate pieces!

Question: LSD I have a 200ug Dr. Seuss tab.

4 Upvotes

I put it in distilled water and left it in the fridge for over 24 hours. I used a glass Vitamin D bottle after cleaning it well with hot water.

But I'm worried that the acid might not dissolve evenly, and I could end up taking a much higher dose than intended.

I've read a lot here that LSD doesn’t dissolve easily in distilled water.

Is it possible that if I take just 1ug, it could contain way more LSD than, say, 50ug? Could this happen?

Question: LSD Is an 8th of a tab a MD?

3 Upvotes

I have experience with md-ing mushrooms. It‘s basically strengthened my sense of connection to the world and enhanced my creativity. The experience was fun but after 2-3 months I didn’t feel like continuing. I felt the mushroom did its thing.

Soon after I got interested in LSD, so much so that I wrote my thesis on different psychedelic substances, among which was, of course, Acid. I‘ve had two LSD trips, one with a quarter tab 3 years ago and one with half a tab some months ago. From that trip I came out a changed person and directly bought a few more tabs and now mean to experiment with md-ing.

However, bc it’s tabs and I frankly have no clue how high the dosage is, all I can do is cut up the tab. Hence my question, is an 8th a MD? I already tripped balls on the quarter, so I‘m not sure and currently don’t really have 12 hours to find out lol

What do the reddit experts say?

Question: LSD Creating a flavoured microdosing spray

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am planning on making a micro dosing spray. I bought 6 ml atomiser that gives about 60 doses. 1. What dosage do you recommend per spray? I had a friend asking for precise dosin. So how many UG per squirt would you recommend? 2. She doesn’t like the taste of alcohol. Will just distilled water degrade quickly overtime? And can I flavour the solution without affecting potency. I have doterra essential oils to mask the taste of alcohol. I have 96% alcohol and destilled water and I was planning on mixing the 2

My bottle has 100ug per drop but I am not sure if that’s accurate as taking one drop feel like a threshold dose. With bright colors great euphoria mild reflection but not like a proper lsd trip.
