Or is it an after work thing? When do you get off? Does it affect your sleep? Do you still see friends or family on the days you are md’ing? Do you only md on days you planned?

What is the reason you do or don’t do certain things while microdosing? Loaded questions, but I can’t find much explaining this fully on other posts

thank you

My youngest child is 19months old but I am still not getting very good sleep. (My oldest didn’t start sleeping well until she was 2ish) I don’t have a lot of support and I have two little kids I am home with. I am stressed and exhausted, missing my old creativity, frankly just kind of depressed and not as happy as I could be if I could let go of some things from the past and get my default mindset to focus a bit more on the many good things I have in life and not weigh the negatives so heavily. I’m just tired of being this version of me basically. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to try micro dosing but I hesitate because I don’t want to stress my body more while it is so tired. I haven’t had a decent night of sleep in at least five years!! Looking for perspectives or experience from people who have been in a similar position. Is undertaking this journey too much for an already exhausted body to handle? Or could it possibly help, even though I’m not getting enough sleep yet? Thanks!

I know a lot of other people had similar experiences, but wanted to share my own too.

To be clear, I was never an alcoholic, and I’ve never especially loved the taste of alcohol (vodka sours were pretty tasty though). But since all of my friends drink, I would never say no to a night out spent drinking, resulting in feeling pretty bad the day after.

Since I started microdosing I completely lost the interest in drinking, I just get a 0% beer and I’m good. I don’t think it’s an insane accomplishment, but I’ve just reached 100 days without alcohol, which is probably the longest streak since I became legally allowed to drink. That’s it, and I’m kinda curious if anyone knows what happens if I stop microdosing, as I won’t continue forever

I have been considering microsdosing shrooms for some time, primarily to help me better tackle my attachment trauma and how it has manifested in my life, as well as to aid in healing from a breakup with someone that has taken a huge toll on me mentally because of how on and off it was, and which kind of ties into my attachment trauma, and which in itself has been traumatic. I have been putting in a lot of effort to address my traumas over the last 2.5 years, but even so there are some blind spots which really hold me back. On paper, it seems like MDing would help me, but I'm just afraid of whether I'm taking a shortcut? I know there's no bypassing the real work. I guess I'm just afraid that if I MD i may not fully integrate changes into my life. But i also guess I'm afraid of what if I actually change and heal? I'm used to being in this sad state for a while too.

Has anyone else here dealt with something similar? If so, how did you guys tackle it?

I have a theory that my brain fog stems from a severely burnt-out/disregulated nervous system due to lifelong anxiety, OCD, and depression. I think my brain had been in fight or flight for so long that it put into me a chronic “freeze” or dissociated state.

Hi all. Does anyone have experience with microdosing with Albino A+ cubensis? I'm trying to research the most suitable variant for my needs and my research suggests Albino A+ is the one, although I understand this is highly subjective.

Liberty caps are game changers for me, although I'm dependent on what I can get. Storm Troopers have worked fine, but are less effective, Hillbilly Pumpkins started out fine - very productive but after a break tended to give me wild anxiety. I've also tried some random capsules and they sent my ADHD fucking haywire.

I'm recovering from a PTSD relapse and can see a similar pattern of the causing trauma in earlier childhood trauma (that I thought I'd dealt with and put to bed). With the availability of liberty caps very low I'm looking for a suitable alternative but I don't really have the means or capacity to experiment. Microdosing only, no trips at this stage.

Experiential advice on Albino A+ please 🙏

Hello, I need your help. I have ADHD, and I don't want to take medication because I'm worried about its potential long-term side effects. I'm thinking about trying LSD microdosing instead. Has anyone had any positive experiences with it? I feel like medication could harm my health in the long run.

Hi, I've been dealing with chronic GAD, depression, low mood and pretty much zero motivation for a long time. For the past few months I've also been stuck in this constant loop of negative thoughts and ruminations, mostly about my past, regrets and things I can't change.

I've been microdosing P. natalensis (Natal Super Strength) at around 50mg, both before and after a recent 3g trip

The trip itself was pretty rough. Lots of anxiety, crying, physical tension and getting stuck on the same negative thoughts over and over again, especially the feeling that I've ruined my life. Interestingly, later that evening and the next day I actually felt much better, more positive and motivated, but that only lasted a few days before I was back to baseline.

I've continued microdosing 50mg for the following weeks, but I've noticed that my negative ruminations seem to have gotten even worse. My mind just keeps going back to the same thoughts no matter how much I try to move on. My anxiety hasn't really improved either(might have got worse), and neither has my depression or motivation

I'm not saying microdosing is necessarily causing this, but I'm starting to wonder if it might actually be making things worse rather than helping?

For context, I don't do journaling and I'm not currently in therapy, although I'm looking for a therapist. Unfortunately I've had some pretty negative experiences with therapists in general, and especially my last one gave me another reason to lose trust in therapy. I do understand that not every therapist is the same though

Has anyone here experienced something similar? Especially getting stuck in negative thought loops or noticing more negative rumination while microdosing?

Would appreciate hearing your experiences, Thanks!

Is Dr. Dave from “Microdose U” legit, or is he just trying to make a buck?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. I had my first microdose recently (50mg) and it was the best experience. I literally felt like I was restored to factory settings 😂 I started with 1 day on 2 off. By my 3rd dose it felt like I was back to how I was feeling pre-microdosing with no positive effects, it basically felt like I didn’t even take a dose on my dose day. I decided to increase to 100mg and still it felt like I hadn’t even taken a dose. I tried one more time with the 100mg with no positive effects. I’m feeling a little discouraged and don’t know where to go from here. My first week had me feeling so optimistic and I was so excited to finally feel how I’ve been imagining life should feel like. I’m curious to see how 150mg would feel but don’t understand how 50mg could give such positive results and 150mg could feel like nothing. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Been Md-ing for about two and half weeks - the first two doses were fantastic, then following dose so begin to feel very tired and thirsty. Then changed the schedule waited 4 days before next dose 0.12 g and then have every 3 rd day. This last does again made me so thirsty and tired. Does any one have any experience ? May be the 0.12g is too much for me ?

Hey everyone. Newb here. Im thinking about getting into microdosing psilocybin for just overall mental health and some slight alcohol abuse issues. Im mostly just curious if there is a certain strain that people suggest for someone just wanting to try it out. I've used mushrooms recreationally in my younger years so I have a little experience. I plan on trying to grow my own, so suggestions for that are welcome as well.

So on my fourth week of micro dosing, I’ve titrated up from 100 mgs to 125mgs of dried mushroom capsules.
First off, I’m glad I didn’t take my Vyvanse as my focus and motivation was greatly improved as if I had taken it, even better actually.
Second, the only noticeable ever so slightly unpleasant effects was a mild headache, and the feeling that my hat was on too tight ha ha, but just momentarily. Also, sleep wasn’t immediate as my mind was restless despite how tired I felt (it felt like I had concentrated way too hard on something all day)

So, for all you seasoned folks, is going from 100 to 125 mgs too much of an increase?

And, what’s the general rule for taking a break, at the 4 or 6 week mark?

Cheers!

I'd like to start microdosing but is there a risk of these disease from continuous low doses of shrooms and LSD?

Fenfluramine causes vulvular heart disease and pulmonary hypertension from strong activation of 5HT2B, LSD and shrooms also strongly hit 5HT2B.

I have taken psychedelics recreationally in the past, especially LSD, and still do so from time to time. I am interested in giving microdosing a try, in hope of experiencing general mood and creativity enhancements, to help treat my depressive state.

I take a stimulant, i.e. Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) 50mg for my ADHD. During the college semester, I take it almost every day, except maybe during some weekends. This applies currently.

I would like to know if can safely microsode LSD on top of my ADHD treatment. If so, is there a protocol that is better recommended than others in this (ADHD) context? If not, should I then skip taking the ADHD stimulant (Vyvanse) on the days I plan on microdosing, or change anything else to my ADHD treatment to make it compatible with LSD microdosing?

Thanks.

My colleague and I are MSc researchers at the University of Exeter, studying psychedelic use in relation to peri- and postmenopause: well-being, stress, menopausal symptoms, brain fog, memory, and concentration.

We’re looking for peri-/postmenopausal women who have used psychedelics to help with mental well-being during this period of their lives.

If you are peri-/postmenopausal or know someone who is, I would love it if you could pass this survey on. It’s also open to women who don’t use psychedelics, as we need to compare the two groups, but we really need to find psychedelics users.

We're in the final week of the survey, which will end this Saturday, 10th October. We're doing a final push to meet our goal for participants. If you can fill out this survey, that's great. If you're not eligible but are willing to share it with others, that's also very much appreciated.

Thank you!

You can find the survey here:

I find that I microdose at a very low dosage than a lot of others do and I find it way more fulfilling than higher dosages.

For reference, I buy a few grams of shrooms at a time. Then I use a coffee grinder to get it to a powder and store in a mason jar with an anti-moisture packet. I then use these small measuring spoons I get from Amazon that measure to about 10mg-30mg on each side. In the morning I take the 30mg scoop and use it to dose, I just drink it down with water. I used to put them in very small capsules, but I find that just wastes time and effort than just using a measuring spoon. At night I dose 10mg for sleep and it works amazing.

For reference, I used to take 250mg of shrooms when I microdosed and felt it was a tad much for my mental state. Share your thoughts about this below. Thank you for your time.

I have done a few heroic trips around 2-3g lemontek.

and I have also done a few microdosing now.

while I love the clarity I get after the heroic trip. I feel that it doesn't last long, I don't see much changes after the first few days.

I fall in the same habits and traps, my attention span goes away. brain fog comes back. I start smoking (cannabis) again in few days.

I felt that microdosing might be the answer but in my few doses it just makes me sad.

like really sad about my life.

I know I should lower my dose which I will.

but my question is

What changes you noticed in yourself after starting to microdose,

how long it took,

and your overall positive experience with it.

please share your personal experience

Hey guys, considering getting on a microdose regimen. I microdosed psilocybin a few years ago and noticed a difference, however I was heavily using kratom at the time so my results were probably skewed some. I’ve cleaned up my act lately coming off Kratom and 7OH I’ve not been myself. Anhedonia, depression, and overall grey cloud has settled in can’t seem to get any color in my life now that I’ve depleted any ‘feel good chemicals’. Rather than go the conventional route with Big Pharma meds I’d much more be inclined to get back into micro or perhaps a macro dose to clean out the cob webs so to speak. Anyone have a suggestion on where to start? Psilocybin might be harder to find (strangely It wasn’t hard to find a couple years ago.) does ketamine microdosing yield as positive results?

I was a psychonaut back in the day. Long story short LSD got me to clean up my act off heroin when I was 20yrs old. I spent the next 3-4 years deep into psychedelics (a spiritual journey more or less). So I am an advocate for hallucinogens from experience. Even did an undergrad thesis in Psychology about the beneficial effects of psychedelics sadly to say It was 1998 and way too soon I was scoffed off the podium. Now that movement has gone mainstream rather than underground. Anyway thanks for reading. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Hallo, ich wollte schon seid langem Micro dosieren (golden teacher) bin bloß noch nie dazu gekommen. Morgen fängt mein Studium wieder an und ich finde dass ist der Perfekte Zeitpunkt.
Mein letzter Trip 1,4 Gramm ist so knapp 1 Monat her, ich würde sagen war ein moderater angenehmer Trip, nach ner Weile natürlich bisschen anstrengend, aber alles gut. Ich bin 1,70 groß und wiege 70 kg.
Meine Frage jetzt wie fange ich am besten an?
Vor dem Frühstücken, danach oder währenddessen?
Wie viel Gramm?
Wie oft in der Woche?
Man liest immer so viel verschiedenes, was ist eure Meinung, Erfahrungen und Tipps?
Danke 🤝🏽

I'm looking to get into this but I never really took my doses before. Is it an everyday thing? And how much should I take?
