Description

In this episode of the Meadow Podcast, Dr. Tracy Kim Townsend and Mike Townsend explore the differences between SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) and psilocybin therapy. 

They examine the history of antidepressant use, the chemical imbalance theory, and the challenges of tapering off SSRIs.

This discussion offers a nuanced perspective on how microdosing may serve as a bridge therapy and what individuals need to consider before combining psychedelics with antidepressants.
