CAN MICRODOSING BE COMBINED WITH OTHER MEDICATIONS
May
Many people wonder if microdosing can be combined with medication. This is one of the most frequently asked questions for researchers and experts in this field. To effectively answer that question, Dr. James Fadiman and his colleague Sophia Korb compiled a list of medications, supplements, and drugs until now are known not to cause any adverse side effects when combined with microdosing.
The list stems from the data collected through their long-term study from hundreds of subjects who have microdosed independently with (mainly) LSD, 1P-LSD, or psilocybin. We want to emphasize that this list does not guarantee that you can use microdose safely and responsibly while taking any of the medications listed. Read more about risk with microdosing.
Therefore:
- Always consult your doctor first if you plan to combine, stop, or phase out
- Remember: no one is currently knowledgeable enough in the field of microdosing to be able to advise you on stopping (pharmaceutical) drug use. If you want to phase it out because you suspect that microdosing is a better alternative, consult with your doctor and thoroughly research the pros and cons!
