Ssri or psilocybin
Hello,
My doctor prescribed me Fluoxetine 20mg yesterday for generalised anxiety disorder. Now I'm thinking should I go down that road or start microdosing instead as I was planning?
Has anyone been in a similar situation, or have any advice on my dilemma?
I feel I'm at a crossroads here, as both SSRI and psilocybin microdosing are something I need to stick with.
To be honest, I was a little bit surprised when he prescribed an SSRI for me. I don't have an episode, generally I feel ok but I do have a constant tension which worsens a lot on certain social occasions. Also I could probably say that anxiety (even low level) is holding me back. On the other side, I do feel I need something just to take the edge off so I can live more enjoyably - that's why I was planning on starting psylocibin micorodosing.
Also a note I was on sertraline 50mg for a year 3 years ago, but objectively, initially I felt much worse back then.. Back then sertraline really helped me a lot, basically erased my symptoms. I've never tried microdosing. However I did try recreational doses, and always had fun and positive trip with some time spent reflecting.
Any advice welcome! Thank you!
