Dr. James Fadiman and his colleague Sophia Korb, PhD compiled a list of medications, supplements, and prescription drugs not known to cause any adverse side effects when combined with microdosing. This list does not guarantee that you can microdose safely and responsibly while taking any of the medications listed.
It is important to:
Always consult your doctor first if you plan to combine, stop, or phase out medications.
Remember: no one is currently knowledgeable enough in the field of microdosing to be able to advise you on the interactions of microdosing and your medications. If you want to taper off medications because you suspect that microdosing is a better alternative, always consult with your doctor and thoroughly research the pros and cons!
IMPORTANT: Do not microdose while taking Lithium.
