Getting Started/Newbie Question Needing advice as a newbie please!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m in need of some tips from seasoned microdosers of mushrooms.

I’m 32F, a mom, diagnosed with CPTSD, depression, anxiety, dermatillomania, and I suspect OCD as well. I have a two and a half year old whom I’m with 4 1/2 days a week and I work outside the home the other 2 1/2 days. I’ve been in trauma therapy for five years with my well trusted therapist. I tried microdosing mushrooms about five years ago. It was very DIY and I could not get the dosage right (the ceiling was moving and I was super nauseous) so I gave up. However, I’ve found a company where I can get product. The product is in capsules and the package says to take one capsule to microdose.

I have a veryyyy sensitive nervous system due to my trauma and I’m very petite (I’m 5’0 and 95lbs). I used to trip regularly as a teen but feel that I’m much more sensitive to substances as an adult. I do eat a weed gummie every night to help me sleep but otherwise I’m sober these days.

My questions and concerns are:

what time of day should I attempt to microdose? (I’m nervous that I have to parent my toddler alone and I don’t want to be sick or feeling like I’m tripping. I also need to be “on” for work as I service clients).

Should I take the entire capsule or should I open it up and dump some out to get an even smaller dose?

Your insight would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to attempting microdosing again but just want to get it right this time.

Question: Psilocybin Advice on making tea and strains ?

2 Upvotes

Hey yall so I used to take capsules but the strains were too random and my stomach is sensitive so I’d like to make my own tea. I wanted to know 1) what’s the best way to make it to prevent nausea and to measure properly so I don’t accidentally give myself a bad trip as I usually use mushrooms to help with my cptsd so I experience it at home alone at a low dose (100-300 mg usually)
It helps me clear out any psychosomatic symptoms such as muscle tension and anxiety and I usually sob for 30-45 minutes and then I just need to lay down and watch a movie. I usually will enjoy once a week or so but I stopped cuz for whatever reason capsules were giving me anxiety and the people I usually get them from she said there were no reports of a “bad batch” so I just gave up and decided I should make a tea now.

I have done PE before but I see they have other strains: Bluey Vuitton, iceberg, and golden teacher. What is the difference with these strains and is there one that is recommended? Otherwise I can stick with PE.
Thanks sm.

Question: Psilocybin Microdosing & Alcohol cravings

6 Upvotes

Hi community!

Did a month and 1/2 of microdosing with Golden Teacher on 2024 (0.25gr, Fadiman protocol) and apart from being a great experience, one of the things I remember shocked me most, was my 0 craving for alcohol. Didn't even want a glass of wine (and I love wine!)

Fast forward 2 years and I moved countries, switched to dry truffles, same protocol, 0.4gr of dried truffles.

Feeling good, but the 0 cravings for alcohol are not happening. So I am wondering, was the first time a placebo effect? The dosage now seems fine by every other account as far as I can tell.

Anybody had this same experience of different results among cycles?

Thanks a lot!

I bought 2oz I eat them a couple times a week dosage changes depending on what I’m doing, what is the best way to store them to keep them good? Does anyone make chocolate bars with them and freeze them to last longer? I started this year it helped me stop smoking weed everyday and I’m really starting to enjoy them

Question: Psilocybin How long to wait in between microdosing🍄‍🟫

3 Upvotes

Hi,
I recently microdosed on shrooms for the first time. Had a great experience. I’m finding it hard to find information about microdosing online recreationally so turning here for answers. My questions are

  1. How often is it safe to microdose? Do you feel withdrawals if you microdose often?

  2. Do you have to wait a certain amount of time in between microdoses to let your brain regulate again like you do with mdma?

  3. Do you build up a tolerance to microdosing shrooms like you build a tolerance to other drugs (like weed, alcohol, etc)?
