Mine have definitely helped me, as if I miss them for a day I get noticeably worse
Those can be "discontinuation effects" rather than lack of treatment. I'm not saying they aren't doing good for you, but it's important to bear in mind that acute symptoms from missing a dose can be a different thing.
Sorry, but I'd be dead without mine. I'm going to have to disagree with you.
The interesting thing with mushrooms is that you could eat a handful, realize you are already dead, and then maybe not need the other meds at all.
This could be interpreted as psychedelic ego death from psilocin, backdooring into some kind of personal revelation.

Or as clinical death from Amanita toxicity, with some meta commentary on religion.

+1. :)

The very apparent effect these things have makes you wonder if they do not (somehow) correct for what otherwise could be a built-in deficiency we carry with us, by "design" correcting some sort of built-in imbalance ...
