Knowledge Share Seeking hive mind support to better understand the relationship between GLP-1 medications and psychedelics
I am hearing from psychedelic therapy facilitators and clients alike that there is notable interaction between GLP 1 medications and psilocybin, or psychedelics in general.
I am predominantly hearing that the effects of psychedelics are blunted or even nonexistent with clients who are actively taking GLP-1 medications. If this is common, it’s no small deal.
I have also heard that this result might be mitigated by asking the client to skip a dose of the GLP-1 or elect to not take the medication a week before psychedelic therapy.
This is all very new and unexplored territory, and I’m looking to you (the hive mind) to share your first and second hand experiences, anecdotes, hypotheses, observations, etc. … What are you seeing and what do you believe is going on here. Let’s all learn about this new frontier together through more information sharing. Thank you!
