I'm not a drug guy. I'll do things like kratom and tianeptine, sure, but anything trippier than that and I feel sleazy. But I'm so sick of my OCD I'm willing to try anything at this point. A few months ago my scrupulosity OCD became more severe than ever, I'm talking extreme guilt making me almost catatonic, so whatever, I ordered three grams of shrooms.
Yes, psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. I've already tried all sorts of meds and supplements for my scrupulosity OCD. I tried inositol for the first time a few months ago and it works so well I wish I had discovered it two decades ago. I take inositol and the voice in my head that's always guilt-tripping me becomes much weaker. It loses its grip on me. Its demands stop feeling like imperatives I absolutely must heed. They now felt like suggestions I can safely ignore.
But the OCD is still there. The effect soon wears off. I have to take inositol throughout the day. The guilt keeps creeping back in. So yes, whatever, I tried the shrooms. Microdoses. And it works. It works beautifully. It's kind of like the effect I get from inositol, but even better. The OCD voice almost disappears. It pretty much dissolves. It becomes a distant, almost wordless sound. When I get the dose right, at any rate. It's kind of inconsistent. But it's beautiful. It really does work.
But I've been losing way more hair than usual ever since I began microdosing shrooms. And when you search reddit for "psilocybe" + "hair loss" quite a few threads turn up. It seems to be a thing. What do you guys think? Any experiences with this? Any proposed mechanism for why this should happen?
