Respectfully, I think you were playing with fire and got lucky. You have to treat bipolar disorder very differently than unipolar depression. I don't know any doctor who would recommend or even consider using LSD to treat bipolar disorder. Many of the treatments that work for unipolar depression are terrible for bipolar disorder because they can instigate manic or hypomanic phases, if not outright psychosis. I feel happy when reading that you kept bipolar depression at bay (that's really, really good) but I want to caution the readers on this website from using LSD if they have bipolar disorder.


Maybe so. But it worked for me.

I definitely wouldn't recommend LSD or other psychedelics for those with bipolar mania.
