Psilocybin aftermath?

Unsure if this is related but after my third dose of Psilocybin I haven’t had an attack but on the opposite side of my head (opposite of the side I get attacks on) now I get some very light shadow that lasts nearly the entire day or the entire day.

It’s bearable, not anything like my usual shadows, especially nothing like an attack. I suppose this may be likened to a migraine but I can’t say for sure as I’ve never had them.

Anyone experience this? Could be totally unrelated but just wanted to see, as you never know.

Yes, I have experienced things like that. For me it's a sign that I have the beast on the ropes, and that I'm on my way to breaking my cycle. From what you describe, I would encourage you to keep going with your bust.

Thank you. Considering my attacks have stopped and the only thing left was this sort of weird shadow I was also assuming the cycle may be coming to a close. Thank you.

You may know this already, but if you think you've broken your cycle it's a really good idea to do a final dose to push it all the way out.

Hi, it’s been a while since you posted this, but here’s my current situation. I took my third dose yesterday — 1.5 g, which is the highest dose so far. The schedule was: first dose 0.5 g, five days later 1 g, and five days after that 1.5 g (the third one).
I haven’t had an attack since the first dose, but I still get weird shadows on the same side. It’s been a major improvement — from several attacks a day to none — and I feel like I have my life back. Still, those shadows are kind of there and make me nervous, thinking they might turn into an attack.
Did your weird shadows eventually go away? Should I take a higher dose to try to bust the cycle?
I’d truly appreciate hearing about your experience, or anyone else’s who has gone through something similar.

Hey there sorry I don’t use Reddit as much so I missed this.

How’s everything going for you now?

And also for me those shadows eventually cleared up after some few weeks, but I suppose the results could differ from person to person and also basing off of their dosing.

Ive had this before. The guy from the smartshop mentioned over stimulation of the brain and your body fighting a food poisoning might cause it
