Based on some .. personal studies...it does work to reduce anxiety... but its not a long term solution and can't replace any existing medication

You get up to 3 months or so of reduced anxiety and increased sense of well-being and "interconnectedness". It has to be a full-on psychedelic episode though, micro-dosing doesn't seem to have the same effect (or much of any effect beyond placebo in my experience). ~6 hours of intensity is a bit steep, especially if you've got real baggage that's going to surface.

Well, sometimes it's better to not be able to escape as quickly and actually have to accept and deal with it head on. At least for me personally.
