    I’ve got some anecdotal evidence that it fully and completely cured my road rage. I’ve been 5 years without a gut wrenching anger when I get cut off or when someone without self awareness whips their car out in front of me.

    Also I don’t blame myself for my parents decade long divorce that made them both very very poor. Bonus.

      I can see that, it supposedly builds new synaptic connections. For myself somebody pointed out if your are walking and an old person is walking slow in front of you, or a person turns and bumps into you unaware, you don’t swear and yell and try to hit them, we move out of their way and apologize to each other—why should being in a car change decency. And that was enough to trigger a new thinking pattern for me.

      Have you got more details on that? I wouldn’t classify it as a hard reset but I never did the crazy high doses.

        I’m speaking more personally/anecdotally but it can really shift things around from a high 2nd plateau - 4th on. I haven’t done a 4th plateau cuz it scares the fuck out of me but there you have it

        Edit: there seems to be a lot of work being done(+ its very in vogue right now/fashionable) to use ketamine to treat depression. Ketamine is also an anaesthetic and NMDA-antagonist at supra-therapeutic doses…

    I would imagine any belief of efficacy is placebo. Now a heroic dose, that’s where the real change can happen.

      Dr. Andrew Huberman’s podcast reviews the available literature here (in the section marked Psychedelics, after 1:34 or go to 1:37 for discussion of a specific study that’s also linked on the page): https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/understanding-and-conquering-depression

      From what I’ve heard recent years, you don’t get to just (micro)dose up and see what happens. Guidance is needed for there to be actual healing potential. Those of us who have no such trained or even sympathetic person around to help would be taking a big risk. Even having an untrained friend around, you’d just be taking a holiday from your depression and not really treating it.
