I want to begin by expressing my deepest respect for the men and women who have worn the uniform, and for the extraordinary sacrifices—both seen and unseen that military personnel carry long after their service ends. The courage required to serve is immense, but the courage required to live with the lingering weight of trauma is something society often overlooks. Those who develop PTSD naturally, whether through combat exposure, repeated operational stress, or the cumulative strain of service life, deserve not only our gratitude but our unwavering compassion.

Regarding this topic, our team actually began this program back in 2014, focusing exclusively on non‑human subjects to establish a safe neurobiological foundation. Our earliest work involved adolescent chimpanzees who had developed PTSD‑like symptomatology following traumatic encounters with hunters or forced separation from their family units. Using controlled administration of psilocybin‑derived compounds, we studied how psilocin metabolism interacts with the amygdalar fear circuitry and the hippocampal memory‑reconsolidation pathways.

Across multiple controlled trials, we observed reproducible outcomes: psilocin consistently attenuated hyperreactive limbic signaling, primarily through modulation of 5‑HT2A receptor density and downstream glutamatergic transmission. This receptor‑level modulation appeared to reduce trauma‑linked memory reconsolidation events, effectively interrupting pathological neural replay loops that sustain PTSD symptomatology.


After several years of synthesis refinement, protocol development, and strict veterinary oversight, we transitioned cautiously to our first human cohort in 2017, consisting of four disabled veterans. Under controlled clinical conditions, neuroimaging data showed remarkable outcomes: functional MRI scans revealed normalized activity in regions typically associated with PTSD, including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex. In numerous sessions, the neural signatures resembled those of individuals without PTSD at all.

Building on these findings, we developed a long‑acting psilocin XR formulation ,paired with mineral‑based adjunct supplements designed to provide sustained serotonergic modulation while minimizing acute perceptual distortion. This extended‑release profile was engineered to stabilize neuroplastic recovery, reduce inflammatory load, and maintain therapeutic receptor engagement without producing destabilizing peaks in cortical excitation.

A critical component of our XR development involved eliminating the risk of long‑term psychedelic‑induced psychosis, a concern historically associated with uncontrolled or high‑dose serotonergic hallucinogen exposure. Through pharmacokinetic modeling and receptor‑binding analysis, we engineered the XR formulation to maintain psilocin plasma levels below the threshold associated with 5‑HT2A overstimulation, thereby preventing aberrant dopaminergic cross‑activation in mesolimbic pathways. Additionally, the XR matrix incorporates stabilizing adjunct minerals that modulate glutamate release and reduce cortical hyperexcitability, effectively suppressing the neurochemical cascade implicated in hallucinogen‑triggered psychotic episodes. Longitudinal monitoring across our cohort has shown no emergence of persistent perceptual disturbances, delusional ideation, or psychosis‑spectrum symptoms, supporting the safety profile of the formulation.
Our program remains intentionally limited to ensure individualized monitoring, ethical oversight, and strict adherence to clinical protocols.

We currently maintain 29 active participants, the majority of whom are Ex-veterans and severly traumatized people.
Members receive a monthly supply of psilocin XR and adjunct supplements, accompanied by continuous neuropsychiatric evaluation. Diversion or recreational misuse is strictly prohibited; any indication of non‑therapeutic use results in immediate suspension and full reimbursement of membership fees. This policy safeguards both participant safety and research integrity.


I am open to any questions, and you may reach out to me directly for more detailed clinical information.


Thank you and stay safe.

i use to take mirtazapine before, now i take nortriptiline
That’s an interesting switch. Mirtazapine and nortriptyline work very differently, so it makes sense you’d notice a change in how they feel. Mirtazapine leans more toward sedation and appetite effects because of its antihistamine profile, while nortriptyline is a tricyclic, so it hits norepinephrine more strongly and can feel a bit more activating or ‘sharper’ for some people.

How have you been responding to the nortriptyline so far, any noticeable improvements or side effects ?
if there's anyway i can help you, do not hesitate to acquaint me.

Hi, could you please let me know what institution you are affiliated with, and an IRB number (also any previous publications would be a cool read). Posting studies on bluelight needs an approval process.

Feel free to reach out over pm to an admin (@alasdairm @Cheshire_Kat or @Skorpio ) or our executive director @Tronica.

I appreciate your diligence, but I want to be clear from the outset: we are not affiliated with any academic institution, federal research center, or university‑regulated IRB. Our work did not originate inside a traditional institutional framework, and we have no intention of retrofitting ourselves into one simply to satisfy external curiosity.

This research body began as a private neurobehaviora collective; an independent group of clinicians, neuroscientists, and trauma‑exposed Ex-veterans who were dissatisfied with the stagnation of conventional PTSD treatment models. For the first several years, the project was entirely self‑funded (out-of-pocket) and operated more like a closed scientific consortium than a public laboratory. We moved to human cohorts only after several members of the research team, who were themselves Ex-veterans, witnessed the neurobiological progress in our early trials and voluntarily offered to participate. Every advancement we’ve made has come from internal expertise, internal oversight, and internal accountability
.
Because of this origin, we deliberately chose to remain private. We are not beholden to institutional politics, grant‑cycle limitations, or administrative bottlenecks. Our review board is internal, composed of physicians, neuroscientists, and long‑term cohort members who understand both the clinical and ethical dimensions of trauma‑focused research.
We understand that this unconventional structure may differ from traditional academic pathways, but this structure has allowed us to maintain strict safety protocols, rapid translational progress, and participant‑driven governance without compromising scientific integrity.

We only began sharing our findings publicly after multiple long‑term members, many of whom are Ex-veterans advocating for their peers, requested broader transparency so others could benefit. That is the only reason this information is being broadcast now.

If you require deeper clinical details, pharmacokinetic notes, or neuroimaging summaries, you may reach out to me directly. But understand that we are a private research body by design, and we will not compromise participant confidentiality or operational autonomy.

Thank you.
 
@Blake jarmine I would like to try the formulation at recreational doses.
what is the chances of that happening?
Our formulation is not available at recreational doses under any circumstances, and the chances of that happening are precisely zero.
The psilocin XR compound was engineered for controlled therapeutic modulation of trauma‑linked neurocircuitry, not for perceptual enhancement, entertainment, or any form of non‑clinical use.

Because of the extended‑release pharmacokinetics, attempting to use it recreationally would not only violate our protocols but also undermine the safety architecture we’ve spent years developing.
I am sorry.
