LSD microdosing in major depressive disorder: results from an open-label trial

Microdosing Research

This open-label Phase IIa trial (n=19, 15 male) found that an 8-week regimen of microdosed LSD (8μg initially, then 6-20μg twice weekly) for major depressive disorder was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events or cardiac valvulopathy, achieved 59.5% reduction in MADRS scores sustained for six months, and had only one withdrawal due to anxiety.
