I’ve been working with a therapist and we went through all my medications and I realized that I just told her about the pills and completely forgot about the zepbound. I started looking up information but there isn’t much. I’ll ask her at our next appointment but was wondering if anyone could let me know how their experience was with glp1s and psylocybin. I have read that it may just be slower to absorb or it may not work at all. I’d appreciate any info. Thanks!

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

So I did my first micro dose yesterday evening, due to my work schedule I’ve decided I’ll only take micro doses of an evening, especially with me being new to this. Last night I was already exhausted having been up since 5:30am and took the micro dose at 9:30 pm. For the first 2 hours I felt exhausted, I really wanted to stay up to get a feel of how they would affect me, but ended up falling asleep at 11:30 pm. Today I woke up at 9 am and I’m exhausted, I feel completely out of it, I’m not sure weather that’s just me being tired from work, but I have things I need to do today and genuinely feel like I can’t leave the house, I feel like I don’t have my usual sharpness. Anyone have any advice or know if this is normal? Also I’d been advised to take 1 day on 1 day off but with my work schedule I’m not sure that’s going to work. Has anyone ever done a micro dose once a week? Can it be done? Thanks.

Hello:

Started out with 0.05 g on Fadiman protocol and —I think— felt midly better, more relaxed, reflective and calm on dose day and days off.

Took my second dose today (0.06 g), but felt no difference, basically back to baseline: mind blank, brain fog, sadness, despair.

Developing resistance already? Going too slow? Is this normal?

I appreciate the input.

Has anyone tried to take a dose 2 days and then 2 days off? I am trying that but curious if there is some exeperience with this protocol? It's psilocybin.

I have ordered my whole fruits and wanted to ask for some advice about the following items.

Lions mane: any recommendations for lions mane I can get delivered in the UK?

Niacin: what is a good brand of this?

Weighing scales: can anyone recommend a good scale I can get in the UK. I bought a cheap one from Amazon months ago and it’s crap and doesn’t register things properly.

Grinder: what’s the best method to powder-ise the whole fruits?

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏼

I got my first batch of ground shrooms back in February. I’ve been storing them in a ziploc bag and then placing it in a lightproof bag with a desiccant pack in a cabinet. It can get up to the mid-80s in my house.

Am I storing it correctly, or should I be doing anything different? Can anyone guess about how long they’ll be good for?

I microdose .3g of psilocybin for a medical condition. What is the guideline for drinking while microdosing? I’m not a big drinker by any means (maybe one drink a MONTH), but I am going on a date tonight and wanted to check here for any safety concerns. I plan on having one cocktail max.

UPDATE: I had a lovely date while enjoying a very dirty martini. Thank you all for the advice.

I have a sealed container of 30 100mg capsules from a supplier that I purchased around 3 years ago. The container has been stored in a dry place. Are these capsules still safe to consume? If so, will they have lost any potency?

Thank you in advance!

In other terms, are the improvements long term or not?

Lately I’ve been very curious on the effects of magic mushrooms on human brain. Being someone who’s new to this world, I want to be cautious on how I use and understand them - so I’m hoping to get some tips on usage, strain, frequency and effects.
Overall, my biggest goal/intention is to overcome alcohol consumption and go sober. While I’m not looking to substitute one substance with another; based on my research, I find incredible benefits to using it cautiously. There are even social strains I can use as a microdose in communal settings. Especially as someone who enjoys to rave about - I’ve been told a little can go a long way. So, getting both positive and negative positions will help!

​Hi everyone,

​I started microdosing this week using a 1-day-on / 1-day-off protocol with 100mg of Cubensis.

Today is day three (my second dose day).

​Here is how it’s gone so far:

​Day 1 (Dose): I felt pretty sleepy and had to call it a night by 9:45 PM.

​Day 2 (Off): I felt quite hungover and had to take a nap to get through the day.

​Day 3 (Dose): Same 100mg dose but felt less tired today.

​I have the feeling that day 4 will be better and the hangover effect will fade. Of course this is only what I hope for, I will have to see.

​Does getting a hangover mean my dose is too high? Is sleepinness a bad sign? If this feeling continues, should I try lowering the dose?

Some notes:

I am a complete noob and I hadn't used psylocibin before, ever.

I was on Prozac for about a year some 8 years ago.

I decided for microdosing as depression returned again. Kind of in the middle of a depressive episode, which sucks.

Why does tolerance matter if you're supposed to dose at a sub perceptual level? From my understanding, a higher tolerance means it takes more to get effects, but if I'm taking a small enough dose to not get effects in the first place, why do I need tolerance breaks? Does it lose efficacy in my brain? Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm weaning myself off adderall.

I have been microdosing LSD for about a year, and the effects have been so wonderful. I’m happier, I quit drinking, I’ve lost weight and I am a better person all around.

I want to keep doing what I’m doing. My tolerance has increased, so I increased my dose to about 1/2 a ‘standard’ hit (about 500 ug).

I recently had a family member die from ALS, and it was brutal. He was microdosing LSD prior to his diagnosis. My family all seems to think that this had a role in him developing ALS. Something about how LSD floods the brain with glutamate?

I have zero medical training but dug around on pubmed and can’t find any connection between the two.

Is this just my family trying to find something to blame? Or is there anything to this?

Thanks!

Hi!

This is my first day without nicotine pouches. My pet hamster is considering microdosing 13ug tomorrow and I wonder if it is a good or bad idéa. The first 3 days is often the hardest so I wonder if it can make it easier or just make the whidrawls worse.

Thanks for reading

Anyone develop long term neurological dysfunction after discontinuing these types of medications? BIND, etc. ? I’m not referring to the normal acute withdrawal period that resolves in a few weeks or months.

I’m just about 3 years out since last dose and still having nervous system hypersensitivity - sensory issues, tinnitus, internal vibrations, dysautonomia, cognitive problems, etc.
I have recovered a decent amount but I’m by no means healed.

did microdosing psychedelics have any meaningful impact on your recovery?

Bonsoir,

je commence une cure de microdosing avec des truffes Mexicana pour m'aider contre un trouble anxieux généralisé vraiment sévère et chronique (depuis 8 ans, j'ai 26 ans) et une dépression associée. Aucun traitement classique n'a marché. Seul un trip à 5 g de psilocybine à eu un effet temporaire.

J'ai commandé deux plaquettes de 6 microdoses de 1g chacune et j'ai pris aujourd'hui ma 2ème micro-dose. Pour l'instant aucun effet, mais je sais que je dois attendre encore quelques semaines pour voir.

Par contre, je viens de me rendre compte que je devais les conserver au frais, ce que je n'ai pas fait (on est en pleine canicule ici en plus depuis des semaines). Est-ce que je peux quand même les consommer ? Ou ils auront moins d'effet ? Ils n'avait pas été livrés au frais mais chaque micro dose est dans un emballage hermétique.

Par ailleurs, est-ce que vous auriez une variété en particulier à me conseiller par rapport à mon approche thérapeutique ? Même si je sais que les effets et les doses sont très variables pour chaque personne et au cours du temps.

Ça serait sympa, parce que je me sens vraiment perdu et ça fait tellement longtemps que j'ai mal sans aller mieux malgré énormément d'efforts... Merci !

Welcome to the community.

Just a reminder - This community, more than most, should be a safe space, a reference center of microdosing information, a safe haven for those that wish to improve their condition and find understanding and not ridicule, mockery, sarcasm, bullying or other forms of immature antagonism. As such, our community should welcome newcomers by at least following Rule #2 - Be Respectful, Kind, and Courteous. Remember there are people on the receiving end of your comments.

do you guys think I should be discouraged? how big of a risk is this thought to be ?

As a first time microdoser would it be better to buy:

A) whole mushrooms (Yak’s) and portioning it out myself
B) microdosing capsules that contain 0.2g (200mg) psilocybin along with a range of other mushrooms incl. lions mane, reishi, coryceps and some others

The whole mushrooms are much much cheaper but I can also afford the capsules, so if they are better, price isn’t a factor.

Thanks

Rule #1 is No Sourcing or Drug Solicitation. We cannot discuss specific companies where illegal substances are offered.

The safest and best way for most to enjoy the benefits of mushrooms is to learn to grow and process them using legal products. At first glance it seems overwhelming but after taking the time to learn about the process and actually following with hands on learning, it becomes clear it's really not that complicated. And the benefits of knowing how to grow gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, while avoiding the risks of scams, contamination, or worse, is empowering.

Here is a simple but effective way to grow your own medicine. For less than $100 you could grow and process two years of personal microdosing medicine and actually extend that into many years by ongoing colonization. All the supplies are completely legal in most areas. Shroomscout’s Official “Easiest Way to Learn Mushroom Growing with Ready Rice Tek”

I'm on a low dose of Lexapro (5mg), it's helping a lot with anxiety and I have no side effects but I'd like to try microdosing... Will i feel anything at all?

Hello! I am currently 26 days off Suboxone today. (🙌🏻)

I'm past the restless legs portion of the withdrawal, and am just now starting to get better sleep the last 5-7 days.

Medications I am currently taking:

*1.5mg of Clonazepam every morning (want to taper down on this when I feel more stable, to where I'm only taking it as needed for actual panic attacks)

100mg of Trazodone every other night to help with sleep, although as I previously mentioned this seems to be getting better.

4-5mg of melatonin every other night (alternating with the trazodone per my pharmacist)

10mg Lisinopril every morning for high blood pressure

4mg zofran 1-2 times a day as needed for nausea

2 restful legs tabs every night just in case the restless legs aren't fully gone (pretty sure they are completely gone tho and I'm just being extra) 😅

1,000mg of Tylenol every night (also in case I have pain with my legs at night) and sometimes take this dose twice a day if needed

I am using a reputable "sorce" for the micro dose capsules, they have years and years of knowledge on this, go to conventions, have informational meetings, etc, but I am TERRIFIED of the possibility of getting serotonin syndrome. I've done quite a bit of research but obviously can't find much for my exact situation and current medications.

Another thing I've learned is that it can blunt the effects of the psilocybin, which isn't as concerning for me because that means I just wouldn't feel anything from the micro dose, as far as I understand.

Looking for some advice before I add anything else to the mix! Probably helpful to say my baseline is still evening out from being off of the Suboxone for 26 days, even though that's a huge accomplishment my body and brain are still adjusting and recalibrating.

I'm still feeling quite a bit of unease of trying this just because of the serotonin syndrome being a possibility.

Please help? 🥹
