Hi I'm David, an American living in France. I have bi-polar type II and am being treated with lamictal and quetiapine. I see a psychiatrist once a week. The talk therapy helps but I still have cycles. I'm very interested in the use of psylocibin for the treatment of treatment resistant depression. A couple weeks ago there was a presentation on CREST about the use of psylocibin for bi-polar II. It seems like the only current ongoing study is in California (Uni San Francisco?). Here in the city of Nantes, France where I live, the main public hospital will offer psylocibin treatments, but no date has been set. With psylocibin treatment being legalized and soon offered in the state of Oregon I was wondering if it might make sense to fly over and have a treatment. I've heard that I would have to stop taking my current meds before. But then I ask myself the question will these people in Oregon really be professional and qualified?

Thanks ahead for your help!
