FAQ

Can you safely combine microdosing with medicines or supplements?

Many users want to know if they can safely combine microdosing with their medication or supplements. It is one of the most frequently asked questions to researchers and experts in the field. To properly answer that question, researchers Dr. James Fadiman and Sophia Korb compiled a list of medications and supplements that have not been reported to cause problems when combined with microdosing.

The list is compiled from data reported in long-term studies of hundreds of participants around the world. They mainly used LSD, 1P-LSD and psilocybin. Please note that this does not guarantee that you can safely microdose with these medications or supplements. It is always important to handle this with care.

It is important to:

Consult with a general practitioner or doctor if you want to combine, stop or reduce the use of medicines.
To think that relatively little is known about microdosing. No one can advise you on this based on complete information. If you think that microdosing is a better alternative to your current medications, discuss this with your doctor and list the pros and cons together.
