What is it like to microdose LSD for depression? a thematic analysis of participant interviews from an open-label trial.

Ther Adv Psychopharmacol December 4, 2025 Carina Joy Donegan, Dimitri Daldegan-Bueno, Rachael L. Sumner et al.

People with depression who microdosed LSD described their experiences in interviews from an open-label trial. The analysis identified themes such as improved mood, increased energy, and greater emotional openness, though some participants also reported anxiety or discomfort. The findings suggest that microdosing may offer benefits for some individuals, but the open-label design means results should be interpreted cautiously.
