Is Microdosing Magic Truffles For OCD The Answer?

Recent research indicates that microdosing magic truffles may help alleviate OCD symptoms.
Psilocybin (the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms and truffles) has been shown to help people cope with their OCD better. This article explores why microdosing could be the key for people suffering from OCD.

What Is OCD?

OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an anxiety disorder in which a person has intense repetitive thought patterns, or an extreme urge to perform certain routines. It is a disorder that is very present in pop culture. Unfortunately it has become stereotypical character trait — e.g. “I’m OCD about cleaning my room.” But these representations are not a true depiction of OCD. Some uncontrollable behaviours can take up hours in a sufferer’s day — this interferes with people’s social and professional lives.  

How Common Is It?

Today, research suggests that 1 in 40 people tick the boxes to meet the criteria for an OCD diagnosis. Additionally, there are many people suffering from forms of OCD that perhaps do not meet all the institutional specifications. This makes it harder to confirm the actual figure of people with OCD.   

What Is Traditional OCD Treatment?

Traditional treatment for OCD usually starts with therapy and/or medication. Therapy can be difficult for people with OCD from the get go, due to the fact that in some cases it can be hard for them to leave the house. With prescribed medication like SSRIs, it can be months before they take effect, with side effects including insomnia, fatigue, nausea, lack of sex drive, suicide ideation — to name a few. This method can work for some people, but many run into issues with their treatment. 

Why Should You Microdose Magic Truffles For OCD?  

Your ego is controlled by a system in the brain called the default mode network (DMN). People with OCD have an overactive DMN, which results in unnecessary stress and recurring negative thoughts. Psilocybin, the active compound in magic truffles, can turn off this overly active DMN. 

Magic truffles, in large doses, can cause intense trips or ego death, but when we microdose it, we experience a mild form of dissociation. This dissociation makes it possible for us to step outside learned negative behaviours and thoughts patterns, giving us the ability to reset them. 

Those who have tried our magic truffle microdose pack, Microdosing XP, have reported how it has helped them to implement advice from their family, friends, and therapists. This is where microdosing magic truffles differs from medications, like SSRIs. You learn to manage your possibilities, rather than numbing your reality, which the traditional prescribed medication can do. 

Benefits Of Microdosing XP For OCD

• Quicker results than traditional medication and therapy.
• Little to no side-effects 
• Sustainability — traditional OCD treatments are daily or weekly. 
  Effects of Microdosing XP can be felt up to 5 weeks after. This, and a lack of side effects means it is a viable long term treatment option. 
   

We hope we have informed and inspired you! However, it is important to remember that everyone is different. Therefore, your body will respond in its own way to different treatments. When it comes to mental-health disorders, there is no cure-for-all. The inner work you do, which can include therapy, meditation and a healthy diet, is integral to your growth. Combined with this, microdosing could be the key to get you back on track <3 .
