I have extensive experience with pharmaceutical anti-depressants and with psilocybin.
It's not the introspection that causes psilocybin's anti-depressant quality. Mood and improves, and phantom pain diminishes by about 12-24 hours, regardless of the qualities of the trip, and continues to rise for a couple of days. Even if the trip is relatively non-descript, or is difficult, the internal change is still very clear.
A euphoric trip overshadows this change, obviously.
- sutterbomb 8y agoI’ve used micro doses of psilocybin as a depression treatment and found it effective. Be definition the microdose meant I never had a “trip”, let alone a strong one with lots of introspection. It improves mood and increases energy even at low doses.
- acct1771 8y agoI've begun to prefer the term "experience" anyway. "Trip" is outdated, and harmful to public opinion, I think.
- sutterbomb 8y agoOk but irrelevant to my point. The experience isn’t always necessary to have positive effects.
