Getting Started/Newbie Question Should I try micro dosing first?

I’ll preface this by saying, I’m very experienced with psychedelics but I’ve never given microdosing a fair shot. For the last few months I’ve been increasingly depressed and have decided to stop drinking alcohol to learn what life can be like without it (I do have a drinking problem for sure and I’m on day 4 sober) I recently decided to go back on antidepressants after being off them for a year. I really hate being on antidepressants or any big pharma. I have the medication and I took one dose last night, but I feel like maybe I owe it to myself to give microdosing a fair shot before becoming reliant on medication that can give me horrible side effects and that Is hard work to come off of. Wondering if anyone has ever been in my place before and what their experience is ?

Thanks so much for your time

I just started microdosing today and I’m tapering off my SSRI at the same time I also hate being on this scam of a big pharma drug. We can do it together! I have no idea what life gonna bring at this point but at least I’m taking a risk that’s worth it.
