I suffer from bipolar manic depression, and in the past, shrooms really helped with it, and when I quit hallucinogens, my symptoms returned at “pre shroom” rates.

I hear microdosing does good things for that. And I know mushies helped me in the past, so I’m willing to give it a go.

I experience Rapid Cycling Bipolar manic and hypomanic mood swings. Sometimes frequently.

I have found no real control mechanism. Weed is a smokescreen at best.

Shrooms have never been abundantly available. Knowing they may be helpful is enough reason to look into starting a new endeavor.

Everyone is going to have their own experiences of course, but I think the reason Oregon legalized mushrooms was because it is proven to help with some forms of depression, anxiety, and addiction.

I certainly know it helped me in the past, and if I can, I’ll try growing my own and experiment with dose sizes

I've read some studies and stories of people using shrooms as a therapy for various disorders. Micro-dosing does make sense!! I'd say it is worth a try.

I sometimes think I am mildly bi-polar, and maybe more. I had to interact with a cop a while back and he said "I don't know if you are ADD or ADHD but ..."

Ibogaine is another interesting one...Tree bark from Africa...There are legal clinics in Mexico and maybe Canada still, where you trip your balls off for 3-4 days and supposedly are cured of addictions. Sometimes. Not usually pleasant trips either...looong trips! Rather scary.

What happened to Canada's ibogaine clinics?

Following a surge of interest, ibogaine therapy in the country all but vanished. But signs show regulators are warming to the promising plant.

Yeah, ibogaine is an EXTREME dissociative if I recall correctly. I tripped off a mild dissociative one time, dextromethorphane I think. NOT to be confused with dimethyltryptamine. Yeah, I didn’t enjoy it much.

ibogaine is primarily used for extreme addiction therapy, and often times the patient comes out of with zero urge to use the substance they were previously addicted to.

but it’s said to be a terrifying trip. And they just keep you on a bed in a darkened room with no noise. Or at least that was the process when I looked into it, maybe close to a decade ago.

I know people who regularly go to South America for ayuhuasca retreats. Also not my cup of tea...lol, pun most definitely intended.

Golden Teachers are a type of Psilocybin mushroom. Microdosing means taking a small, under the hallucinogenic threshold dose, to promote different types of neural healing. That and Ketamine seem to be helping a number of veterans with their PTSD and other mental issues which is why my husband is taking it. I do my part to keep him on the best MJ I can. I was hoping they might work together to potentiate the effect.

Has the VA asked him for a UA yet? That's one of the first things they asked me here.

My hub goes to private physicians now after the head of the service he was on, someone I went to med school with, had a disagreement with me about his care. Thankfully we are insured and none of his current specialists would dare ask for something so therapeutically irrelevant.

Sorry I'm replying a second time but I wanted to encourage you to fire them as well. Healthcare providers work for you even when you aren't directly paying them. Don't hesitate to fire them and find a more suitable health provider that share common goals with you. You can even try to stay within the VA system while you do that by changing primary care providers.
