When Depression Meets a Microdose: One Woman's Radical Experiment
Picture this: a Harvard-educated lawyer and mother of four wakes up one morning and places two drops of LSD under her tongue. Not enough to hallucinate - just ten micrograms, a fraction of a recreational dose. This is how Ayelet Waldman begins her month-long journey into microdosing, desperate for relief after years of mood disorders that left her cycling between rage and despair. Traditional medications had failed her spectacularly - SSRIs, mood stabilizers, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines all brought cascading side effects without lasting relief. When perimenopause disrupted her carefully calibrated treatment regimen, she found herself at a breaking point, her volatile moods holding her family hostage. What would you do if nothing else worked? How far would you go for just one really good day?
