r/microdosing

Soooo, I started microdosing regularly around two weeks ago, taking .1gr following the Fadiman Protocol, but I noticed certain things like a weird sensation on my head when I go out, like pressure, if that even makes sense.

It will make me get more calm during meditation, I feel blissed but when I go out, anything that may cause my social anxiety to rise (even dumb shit like somebody sitting facing me on the train) will make me start overthinking in general and sweat a LOT.

It kinda concerns me, is microdosing supposed to amplify what you are feeling like it happens when taking regular doses? Things like the weird head sensation, slight teeth shattering, and amplification of emotions are normal?

PS: excuse my English, doing my best to learn

I have a couple of bags of mushroom gummies that are dosed at 0.14g . Thinking about starting to microdose with them. Is this a good dose to start with?

i’m going to a hippie type festival soon with my friends and their SO’ i’m bringing my gf who is 30 weeks pregnant is it safe to let her microdose on like a .3

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

Hello all,

I have recently gotten into growing Golden Teachers and have taken a largest dose of 1.5 of them. Decently strong but nothing too too crazy. I was looking for info to get into micro dosing for personal mental reasons, working better and not being distracted and depressed, drinking less beer, getting back into shape, and just overall trying to make myself feel better and to actually want to do that and not go back into the loop. Any suggestions on dose and time to take mainly? I took .15 before a run the other day and felt great I think, maybe this could help with my post work routine, and make me feel better to try and gear up for the next day? I am not sure really where to start with all of this. I have half an oz so I have penalty to experiment with. Thanks

Been microdosing about 3 weeks now (36M) and trying to get some advice on how to use this to help me quit edibles? I have had an on and off relationship with marijuana for a while now…but since I got my med card in November last year I’ve been using 50 mg edibles daily twice a day. (Thrice on weekend)

I’m also on Wellbutrin and Vyvanse…trying to stop the Wellbutrin first before weed though. Not sure if i should try to stop Vyvanse too…my ADHD diagnosis is relatively new. I also have C-PTSD and may be on the spectrum according to my therapist. My therapist also wants to do EMDR and I heard this can help with that too?

Obviously a lot of moving parts…but how would you all recommend coming off edibles and if this can help me get there? Going through a tough time, got divorced last year and life has been spiraling…

Hello I am going to a music festival coming up and i plan on microdosing shrooms. My question is how long do the effects of a microdose last? I will likely be at this festival for 7+ hours. Will one last the entire time or should i wait a certain amount of time and do some more? I am going by myself so i really want to avoid doing too much.

Also a bonus question does microdosing typically make you more social?

Thanks in advance :)

Shrooms has been my go to since it’s easier for me to get my hands on but I took a tiny corner off a tab and holy shit, I feel like a kid. I need to try out this volumetric dosing and see what it’s actually about. Shrooms works for me but lsd just feel more “normal” less side effects

I'm 2 months into my microdosing journey and I feel like the honeymoon phase is over. I took a slightly higher dose this weekend to see how I would react and I had some anxiety and OCDish/ circular thoughts. Not a bad time, but a tougher one. Made me realize I have a lot of feelings I need to work on and I'd like to start getting my head right.

Can anyone suggest some good spiritual healing or self help Audibles I can listen to? I'm not religious, but microdosing has made me more open spiritually, if that makes sense.

I don't want to see a therapist. I want to work on myself, by myself. Thanks!

There are so many of them. For the first time I tried 2 grams of penis envy and the experience was quite mellow.

qual o melhor tipo de shroom para começar com microdose?

I recently got 1.5 gr of Tidal Wave mushrooms which are known to be one of the strongest strains. I was wondering if anyone here is using them or has used them for microdosing? What's a good microdose? What does this strain feel like? Does it help motivation? Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

has anyone experimented with timing their microdose around moon cycles or natural rhythms

Just wanted to read about some real experiences with microdosing LSD.

I would want to try it again after not sticking by it 2 yrs ago.

I remember feeling more energy maybe more motivation, but not sure if I felt some slight anxiety or jitters.

Do share your personal experiences, good or bad. Some tips to stick by, (I remember cycling it - with few days on and off) and any themes you related to.

I worked on my dosage for several weeks to get it just under my sweet spot, 350mg of Golden Teacher for treating my anxiety. One day on, two days off. Noticed there is a spike in my anxiety shortly after taking. Not huge but noticeable. Is it telling me to reduce my dosage?

I’ve been microdosing truffles and LSD for three months. I started noticing I’m much calmer, kinder, and less ego driven.

I have a history of anxiety and severe rumination. One night, instead of falling into my usual thought loops in bed, I stopped and instinctually asked myself why I always think like this. I ended up looking up the 18 maladaptive schemas. I’m familiar with it due to a unsuccessful try at schema therapy.

Reading them, something just clicked. At that exact moment, my brain felt mutable. I didn’t really remember what’s gone wrong in my childhood in some specific moment but I just clearly sensed that these coping strategies were emotional baggage and rationally I couldn’t justify that type of thinking anymore.

Since that night, my rumination and overthinking are entirely gone. My background anxiety is minimal. I don’t internalize problems as much as I did before. Have a more positive outlook in life

The thing is I wasn’t really planning for this journey so I’m really excited for the longest time and curious if these kinds of breakthroughs are a common experience or not.

It also made me realize maybe I should take reintegration stuff more seriously since my approach was similar to just taking pharmaceutical interventions but clearly psychedelics are powerful and require more respect

I used microdosing to successfully get off of three antidepressants over the course of about 6 months. But a few things happen that I'd like to get your thoughts on:

1. I've become very irritable. I think it's because of the unmasking from the drugs and then the psilocybin bringing things to the surface/amplifying means there's stuff I need to deal with now. On top of that, I don't have the tools because of years of suppressing. I'm seeing a therapist and am optimistic about it but in the meantime, I act ugly. Bad for me and terrible for the family. Have you experienced this and what do you do about it?
2. Since weaning, I've macro'd twice. It's given me good insights that I'm using to develop and grow. I'm good during and immediately after but after a week or two feel I need to microdose for the antidepressant effects. First of all, question 1 (irritability started prior to the first macro and is still present after the second). Second, I know I need integration but isn't macro supposed to help a little, even without integration, just chemically?
3. People here talk about the psilocybin helping ADHD. I feel the opposite. Executive function is completely disregulated and I'm really struggling acting. Can anyone relate? What do you do?

Yay, I'm off antidepressants. And yay that that's allowed me to macro and get insights that I wouldn't have. But I'm really stuck in other ways now and still feeling mildly depressed. Also, and I don't want to derail my own post, but it's really difficult not being able to get advice about psychedelics and dosing from my therapist, psychiatrist, or PCP. Perhaps micro is not the right thing for me?

Any and all insight and advice is appreciated.
