r/AmanitaMuscaria

I had ADD and am curious if it can help.

Ibotenic acid seems to be the black sheep of the family

But I have heard some people use it positively

Please share your experiences with the ibotenic acid content of Aminita

Thanks

Just a heads up to any vendors that gets an order from someone named Majd Mohammad from

Florida, I got scammed out of $250 and the Amanita he bought because he filed a charge back dispute. I tried to appeal and had all the correct information, problem is that 65% of the time vendors lose the dispute.

I could dox him completely but I will not do that. Just remember the name and state.

I’m new to Amanita. I’ve been using amanita Regalis capsules for about a month now. I got them to help me sleep but they are full spectrum. I take 1 or 2 500mg capsules at night and my sleep is sometimes not restful. I’ve not had that restorative sleep so many describe. My questions are

1. Should I get a decarbed tincture at night to get that restorative sleep?
2. Do you need to take breaks?
3. Will the decarbed panther be better for insomnia?

I love it though I love the calming effect but I only feel a buzz if I stop for a few days. I’ve never had the experience I’ve been too scared to take more than 4 at once as I live alone .

Thanks for reading my post ☺️

M 66 late diagnosed with ADD and quite a lot of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (bullied as a kid?) no psych or prescription meds used.

Longtime LSD microdose fan (I like the Default Mode Network reduction)

So...

Nighttime - the fully de-carbed tincture is working great. I wake up super refreshed.

Daytime - I have been taking 2 x 500m

1. g capsules. One in AM one after lunch. I am feeling a little unstable, almost stumbling / clumsy as if

slightly

1. drunk? I think it's too much

? I do feel chill though but not energised.

First off, I am claiming the fully de-carbed tincture use before bed - a victory!!!

Perhaps I should just leave it there and abandon daytime Amanita use?

Perhaps the night dose might last me all day and is all I need?

I have 3 more things to try -

1. daytime use of d

r

1. ied cap (a small piece) to get some ibotenic acid 'drive'.
2. I have another tincture on the way that has more ibotenic acid content to try.
3. try the fully decarb tincture during the day?

So daytime? / nighttime?

I am going to expiriment to find my sweet spot.

I might be expecting too much from Amanita.

Would be interested to hear from others the above might resonate with.

Thanks in advance

So; I’m in the southwest of Western Australia and have been experimenting with the fly agaric over the past few years…. I’ve “successfully” decarbed tea in the past and recently made a brew that made me so violently sick I had fell asleep in cold sweats shivering. Twice. Just to be sure; I then had one positive experience eating a single fresh cap. Tried this again yesterday and I was sick for 2 hours again, luckily not as violently as the first 2 times, genuinely it was brutal. Now what is it? Am I just not made to stomach this? There’s relatively pleasant effects after I’m done dry wretching and the sweat has crusted over lmao…. But I recoil at the thought of putting myself through that again just for a buzz comparable to 3 or 4 standard drinks.

Some physiological context for relevance: I’ve struggled with alcohol in the past but have been clean for the last 2 months so I am not inducing withdrawal from gaba antagonism; not from that anyway. I did just get off a mild Valium habit but haven’t had any benzos for over a week and I am not struggling to sleep, am not anxious or feeling WD in any way.

Does anyone have similar reactions? Advice please 🙏

I've looked at many online tutorials but they all seem different. I put dried amanita in olive oil and exposed it to heat regularly (sun, not directly, and double boiler) as you do with Saint John's wort for example, for a month. Is this the right way to do it? I read that the only way to extract the medecinal compounds is with alcohol - a tincture, and then make a lotion,oil won't extract well enough.

Thank you for your help. 🍄🪾⚗️

hi all,

I did a 3 hour decarb with citric acid on one batch and did another 20 min partial decarb with another batch because some people advocated ibotenic as well rather than full muscimol.

on Friday night I took 1g worth of the muscimol full decarb and slept like a baby. the next day I took 0.5g worth of the partial decarb. I had a bit of paranoia similar to weed but it abated. the problem is my existing tinnitus has spiked since and I am terrified it will stay permanent.

Claude claims that the level of ibotenic acid in 0.5g of partially decarbed amanita is quite high and that the cause of my issue. I know it is excitatory and that is why my tinnitus has amped up, what I want to know is whether I have done any permanent damage due to the two doses I have taken. I tried to be as cautious as possible taking what I believed to be micro doses …. and still ended up here 😢. any guidance is appreciated.

i have generalized anxiety disorder and do not take any medications for it. I tried AM hoping to find a healing path but I don’t think i can take the risk to experiment further……

Hi everyone, this is probably going to be a bit of a long post so here's the TLDR :

I've started experimenting with amanita around the 14th of may. Tried both some tea and dried caps. Each time I've taken a dose, I've felt next to nothing even though I ended up taking more and more with each try. I went from 0.5 grams the first time to 6 grams yesterday and pretty didn't feel anything. I really don't understand what's going on and it's hard to believe I end up super sober on a dose that makes some people trippin balls...

As for the full story :

I live in Europe. I've bought from a trusted source 50 grams of dried caps of amanita muscaria with the hope of having regular microdoses to help with anxiety and perhaps give some energy for work with the consumption of IBO rich doses.

Around the 13th of may, I've made a 7 grams batch of tea to make 0.5g doses in the form of ice cubes. I followed the instructions I've found very carefully, boiling water, letting it cool down just a bit, to then simmer the caps for around 25 mins (I didn't do any decarb steps). The night after, I took a 0.5g dose mixed in some warm tea to make the taste more bearable. I felt very little effects, so I took another 0.5g an hour after. In about 3 hours total, I felt midly relaxed but didn't feel like this was anything out of the ordinary at all.

When I went to work on the 15th, I wanted to try the dried caps to see how I reacted with more IBO. Took 0.75g in the morning, then 1.75g around noon. Long story short : the effects were extremely mild. I started to suspect placebo a lot at that point for any of the slightly positive effects I experienced during the afternoon.

The night of the 16th, I felt kind of frustrated and wanted to go with a high dose to really feel something. I took 2.5 grams of tea at first, and felt very little for about an hour. In the span of two hours, I then ingested 1.5g, and then 2g more. Still nothing. I couldn't believe I had 6 grams of muscidol in me without feeling shit, when I originally got told that 1 gram could make you super drowsy...

And here I am, not knowing what the hell is up with me and my body. I feel like I should say that I drink alcohol here and there, and a single glass of beer can make me tipsy in less than 30mins. I really didn't think I would be able to handle a single gram of AM before I tried it (fyi I'm 1.78m/5.8ft tall and weigh 63kg/138lb)

Does anyone here also experience insane tolerance with AM ? If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it... Also feel free to ask me anything if extra information is needed.

Thank you all

The company info was pathetic, honestly. I did read about bring the watr up to 190 but no explanation as to what was happening.

Do you decarb dried pantherina? Or should i just grind the oz and start at 500mg?

Also, anyone else taking gabapentin or quitting gabapentin with the he of this amazing mushroom?

I found that taking my microdose of around 0,8 g of Pantherina gives me a very distinct focus in the gym. Do you share any experiences like that, have you tried Pantherina to enhance performance?

I have a question for those who used mushrooms to reduce anxiety and depression and then stopped using them: how do you feel now? Do the positive effects of the mushrooms continue after stopping, or did they only calm you in the moment?

I consumed about 12 grams half the bag imof 25 gm dried Amanitas I bought but I didn't feel much affect. Maybe ai felt a bit more relaxed but it wasn't anything obvious. Any thoguhts

I am just curious if anyone has taken the two together it seems like an interesting combination but there is no reports online of the two but I would be willing to try it out lol I kind of like nutmeg
