Prim Care Companion CNS Disord, 2024 ↗“LSD-Microdose: Seems to provoke healthy decisions in me. Helps overcoming conditioned behavior. Gives me some amount of energy and better concentration.”
Microdosing does not show consistent immediate benefits for depressive, anxiety, or stress symptoms in healthy adults, and evidence from RCTs remains inconclusive. Although improvements were observed in some studies, these effects were not significantly different from placebo. Larger, well-designed RCTs are needed to clarify the efficacy and safety of psychedelic microdosing beyond placebo.
CNS Drugs, 2026 ↗“The final one is lsd. The GOD of all I have tried (including adderall). Laser focus, hyper awareness, creativity through the roof, and a euphoria/connection with everyone and everything you encounter on that day.”
