Trait mindfulness and personality characteristics in a microdosing ADHD sample: a naturalistic prospective survey study

Trait mindfulness, specifically description and non-judging of inner experience, was increased, and neuroticism was decreased after 4  weeks of MD compared to baseline. The remaining personality traits remained unchanged. Using conventional medication and/or having comorbid diagnoses did not change the MD-induced effects on mindfulness and personality traits after 4  weeks. Conclusion: MD induced changes in otherwise stable traits. Future placebo-controlled studies are warranted to confirm whether these changes occur in a controlled setting.

Repeated low doses of psilocybin increase resilience to stress, lower compulsive actions, and strengthen cortical connections to the paraventricular thalamic nucleus in rats

These results establish a well-validated regimen for further experiments probing the effects of repeated low doses of psilocybin. Results further substantiate anecdotal reports of the benefits of psilocybin microdosing as a therapeutic intervention, while pointing to a possible physiological mechanism.

Heart risks, serotonin, and fen-phen: 5 questions for 5-HT receptor researcher Bryan Roth

All those (phase 3) studies have one or two doses of psilocybin. If I were a betting man, I would say there’s little chance that that type of dosing would be an issue, but we still need to do clinical trials. The big concern is with repeated dosing, and lots of people are doing that now with microdosing. That’s extraordinarily risky until the appropriate studies have been done.

Review of studies on the use of microdosing with hallucinogens that combine psychotherapeutic techniques with administrations of LSD, MDMA or Psilocybin ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a review of studies (double-blind, longitudinal, open, randomized and controlled trials [mostly with placebo]) on the use of microdosing with hallucinogens that combine psychotherapeutic techniques with administrations of LSD, MDMA or psilocybin.
