I have experimented with SLU a few times and there are 2 things I notice. First, it is super hard to get a high heart rate on cardio and get a sweat going. Usually I maintain 120-140 BPM heart rate, but on SLU it is super hard to get above 95-100 BPM. I also sweat a considerable amount less and usually soaked after a 30-45 min cardio session.

Second, I get extreme lethargy and almost lose my motivation to do anything but sit around. For example, if I take SLU around 6:30 am / 7 am and workout, by 10am I am dead beat tired, and even tired during my workout. I did read other post saying lethargy could be a mitochondria issue, so I took some injectable NAD+ and it did seem to help quite a bit, but still had lethargy.

Would like to see other peoples experiences and solutions!

TLDR: I have done prescribed at-home ketamine therapy cycles twice now ( troches and injectable ) and looking to create a similar therapy experience with Psychedelic / Psilocybin Mushrooms and looking for pointers.

Hello! I am looking to expand on my at home psychedelic therapy as someone who has done two (2x rounds of) 8 week cycles of at-home ketamine therapy ( prescribed ). I had a great experience and breakthroughs, but moved to a state that no longer allows this. I have had some experience with mushrooms, but it was years ago and not sure what dosages I took, but it was for recreational fun. I never had a bad experience / reaction though.

The ketamine therapy consisted of setting intentions and journaling before hand, and then using a eye mask and noise cancellation headphones during the trip ( +/- 1 hr experiences). Based on some other posts here, people do the same with mushrooms and looking for guidance. I am not sure what dosage to start at ( 1g, 2g, 3g etc) and curious on frequency of use, once or twice per week, biweekly, etc? I also would like to know how long these trips can last and what to expect. I am fine with a ego-death like experience as well but I want to do it smart and do it properly.

I am used to seeing visuals with the eye mask on, and having deep and profound inner realizations and breakthroughs during and after my previous ket sessions. I am looking to have similar levels of therapy sessions to continue to help with my depression and healings of past trauma.

Any pointers or anecdotal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
