Can People With Bipolar Have Psilocybin and Psychedelics?
The short answer is we really don't know.
All I know is my experience, and that of 8 other bipolar patients I've talked to, and those I've talked to in other bipolar circles.
I'm trying to gather information the best I can, but this is not scientific, and it's all based on personal accounts.
All of us have had psychedelics, and not only does it not kick us into psychosis, but it keeps us stable. No hypomania, no mania, no psychosis.
No depression!!!! That's the biggest help for me.
When I say no depression, I want to make it clear that it's not 100% perfect in taking it away. There are degrees at different times. When you have a more challenging psilocybin ceremony, the depression is a little stronger those two weeks.
But it has completely taken away my suicidal thoughts. I never knew how heavy this burden was to carry, until it has been taken away.
All glory to God!!! Truly!!! God lead me to these medicines, and God grows these beautiful plant medicines for us. Thank you Heavenly Parents!!!
What Is My Personal Protocol?
My first dose of psilocybin was 3 grams. This was a great anti-depressant for 12 days.
2nd dose 2.5 grams: dose lasted again for 12 days.
3rd dose 2.5 grams: dose lasted for 12 days. This time I was hoping for the macro dose to last longer, by starting to microdose in between.
The microdosing led to hypomania. I was directed by God to stop all microdosing, and to only macrodose. I asked how frequently and I was told every 3-4 weeks. At the time, it was feeling like a lot to take psilocybin every 1.5 to 2 weeks.
So I was relieved to find out it would only be every 3-4 weeks.
But what about the other 1-2 weeks that I would have depression coming back? What about covering that time?
At the time, I didn't know what God would lead me to, but I knew that He would. That night I got a dream that was so clear! Usually that doesn't happen to me.
In the dream, I popped in my mouth a ketamine lozenge. As I was waking up from the dream, I literally said out loud "oh, I'm supposed to take ketamine!"
So I connected with one of the at home ketamine companies, and got the ketamine ordered.
Now, this is what my personal protocol is for each month.
I take between 2.5 to 4 grams of
dried mushrooms every 3-4 weeks. I am slowly trying higher doses, to see if the psilocybin anti-depressant effects will last longer. I have not gone above 4 grams yet.
I have found that psilocybin lasts about 12-14 days, and then I can feel the depression coming back. I try to use psilocybin once per month, and then once or twice per month I use a dose of an at-home ketamine lozenge.
Week 1 - psilocybin mushrooms
Week 2 - still covered by psilocybin mushrooms
Week 3 - if I'm feeling the darkness of depression, then I will take a dose of ketamine
Week 4 - same as week 3
