Fig. 2. Weekly attack frequency is shown at baseline and over the 3-week period in individual episodic participants (A; n = 4) and over the 8-week period in individual chronic participants (B; n = 6). Open symbols denote participants randomized to placebo in R1; closed symbols denote participants randomized to psilocybin in R1.  An effect of time was observed for ‘overall drug effects’ on all three dosing days [Day 1 F(8, 232) = 36.3; Day 2 F(8, 232) = 28.4; Day 3 F(8, 232) = 31.5; all p < 0.0001] but these effects did not differ across days (interaction: F(16, 232) = 1.02, p = 0.440; Supp! Table 3). Psilocybin induced maximal ‘overall drug effects’ between 90 and 120 min with an average maximum rating of 2.8 (0.08) on a 0-3 NRS. Given that 7 out of 10 participants gave the highest rating for this measure (3; i.e., ceiling effect), an average score was calculated wherein ratings were considered along with duration of effect. This average score for ‘overall drug effects’ did not correlate with changes in attack frequency (r = —0.190; p =
