As I’ve complained in my latest essay, they don’t let you back into a clinical trial just because you ask nicely haha.
If you’re asking about the trial itself, it involves two doses separated by about 2 weeks. I noticed the antidepressant effect most strongly after the second one. I still greatly look forward to the conclusion of the trial (if it hasn’t happened already, I haven’t checked) and the release of results. I know, n=1, well beyond reasonable doubt, that it worked and was life-changing for me. I expect that the trial itself will have a positive outcome, and am generally positive that we’ll see legally available psilocybin in clinics within 5 years. I’d say I think that’s around 70% likely to happen, at least in the UK. If that does end up happening, I will insist on psilocybin as my drug of choice for myself, and probably a lot of patients too.
You can look at my latest essay, but I’ll save you some time and tell you that I experimented with LSD (and did not do it as sensibly or as cautiously as I wish I had). I think it had a similar antidepressant effect for me, but this is confounded by a very positive change in my life which already had me feeling much better overall. No strong conclusions to be taken away from that one.
