Harm Reduction
While some people choose to micro-dose while on medication, the effects can vary and safety is always our top priority.
- Psilocybin is a psychoactive compound that may interact with certain medications.
- SSRIs and SNRIs may dull or block the effects of psilocybin due to serotonin receptor competition.
- Other medications – especially those that impact the brain, mood, or serotonin, may also ause unpredictable interactions.
Because each person’s body is different, we strongly encourage you to speak with a qualified healthcare provider before microdosing, especially if you are taking:
- Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs)
- Mood stabilizers
- Anti-anxiety or antipsychotic medications
- Seizure medications
- Blood pressure or heart medications
What many people choose to do:
- Some people wait until they’ve tapered off certain medications (under medical supervision) before beginning micro-dosing.
- Others experiment gently, beginning with low doses and noting any unusual effects.
