I'd highly recommend it to those considering.
I agree on the 10ug being placebo territory, but it could be that those seeing the effects are those that are likely self-medicating anyway. A normal person wouldn't notice, whereas someone needing the bump would, just a guess.
Comments on the linked article:
20ug yay
10ug why?
Hearing better: Surprisingly yes,
I definitely noticed this, and it was thoroughly confusing at first, but my best guess is that its related to serotonin, since similar medication has been used to treat Tinnitus (e.g. SSRI's)
It seems like serotonin is the signal amplifier dial, and mine is at a 9, people with Tinnitus are at 11.
LSD and SSRI's drop it a notch or two. (Another wild guess based on my personal + google-lay experience)
I think it aligns with what serotonin actually does, rather than the ELI5 "anxiety" label assigned to it.
The "creativity" feels like a hippie thing to ascribe to it.
I think it's closer to reducing the noise thereby providing a clearer signal for whatever is already on your mind...
There seems to be a hint of time-dilation, in that the racing thoughts I've had all my life, seem to slow to a "normal" speed.
I'm curious if this time-dilation aspect is what causes the weird trippy visuals people report at higher doses...
If the "signal" is light hitting the retina, maybe serotonin modifies the rate it gets processed, like slowing down or ramping up the FPS on a video camera.
No idea why I rambled this long on your comment, sorry haha
