Microdosing 🍄 Saved My Life

[Hiraeth]

Hi.

I've been on this site since Nov 2018. I was 18 when I joined, I'm 23 now. I haven't been active in the past year.


I stumbled across that video the T*nt*crul made and was in shock and awe at how wrong he all had it. I actually got into an argument with my long term partner about how wrong this guy had it. (He didn't want to hear it ) I decided to log back on, and tell y'all how I've been doing.


As you can tell by my post history, for a strong second I had the full intentions of ctb by either SN or Suspension. Some things in my life went down and I had to move from my home state, to a state 700 miles away.

I started feeling worse and worse, being away from my family felt awful.

But then it felt amazing, freeing.

Then, I found magic mushrooms.
I started microdosing at the end of January 2023 and I've never been so happy. I feel like I've just been reset, that the pain has stopped. That I can breathe again.
I have my dream job, I have a great new life to live and I want to live it.
I want that for everyone on this forum, even though I know it is not possible for every single person to feel better by eating a funny mushroom.

I don't know how permanent this feeling will be, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Looking for friends on this self love and help journey, if you're working towards the same thing feel free to message me!!

i've been interested in that for a while. i've done mushrooms before but never microdosed, i feel like that's one of the only things that could help me because i know they rewire your thought pathways, and i really struggle with that. i'm glad you found something that worked for you!!

I've always considered magic mushrooms after hearing so many positive things about them but never knew where to even try starting, I'll definitely send over a pm later.

Hmm wonder if Mushrooms would help with my overall mindset. I've suffered multiple head injuries and have learning disabilities as a result.

genuinely, if you take your time and dose slowly (theres tons of forums about dosing) i think it could really help you.

Thanks for coming back and telling your story, it's always great to see how the forum helped people in some way. I'm glad you are in a better place now.
I've always been a huge advocate for micro dosing as there's been so many people with PTSD, Bipolar, Depression who have used this and it has almost reset their brain. I have been wanting to do this myself for a long time, just not sure how to go about it.

I have various questions if you are okay to answer them?
What does a usual trip feel like for you, and has there been any bad ones, linking to maybe bad thoughts?
What do you think it has done to your everyday feeling from before you did them for the first time to now?
How many times do you microdose, is it monthly, yearly?
Any advice for first timers?

Thanks

I'm also interested to hear more!

How much do you dose? And are you on any other meds? I'm on a couple and I tried to trip on it once, didn't work lol. I think the antidepressants interfere with the chemical reaction or something. I tried microdosing too but probably not for long enough, I was getting capsules to make it easier to consume.

thats awesome that helped you so much! i havent done shrooms myself, tho i'd love to, but ive done other hallucinogens that are more accessible to me and had similar experiences. for me it was dxm that kinda saved my life (yes, the active ingredient in cough medicine lol). not as safe a drug as shrooms, but it changed my life for the better and its given me a renewed drive to keep living. its complicated tho

SSRIs are inhibitors which blunt psychedelics.

Have you been following the Fadiman protocol or Stamets protocol? And what type of shrooms ie. cubensis variants? Would be interested to hear about details, only if you don't mind sharing.

Hey! My usual trips are very euphoric. I dosed a slightly higher amount the last time I tripped and it made my vision a little wacky, so I normally stay at .5 - .8 grams of dried mushrooms. THIS IS UNCONVENTIONAL. Most people dose with concentrate or powder pills.

I am also on 3 different medications for mental health, so if you're unmedicated I'd go for a lower dose. I have not yet had a bad trip.

I genuinely just feel reset. Obviously I still struggle, but I've found the overwhelming feeling of dread I used to carry around with me is no longer there. I feel like the person I was that I lost a long time ago is slowly coming back to me. I wake up and I don't think about ctb first thing anymore. I don't find myself struggling with ideation much at all anymore.

Some people do different methods and protocols with microdosing. I currently follow a scuffed version of the MDI protocol that i made up. I can go into this more if you're interested. Basically it's on off on off and then i will take a break for a week (unconventional, you are supposed to continue the cycle for 4-8 weeks but i've found i can't focus at work while on mushrooms.)

It's reccomended to do them during the day, I have only ever done them at night, but NOT right before bed. That is a method you could do though if you feel inclined!


I think trying mushrooms in a small amount is a good first step for a beginner. If you enjoy that feeling and feel like it could benefit you, start to implement a protocol in your everyday life.

I've made up my own protocol kind of? I've found that it helps me more. I do MDI protocol but I don't do consecutive weeks, i do on off on off week off on off on off week off. this works well for me because i take medications, i've found on my off weeks with ONLY my meds, my mood is better than it ever has been.

I *just* posted another reply in this thread that goes into it a little more! I am cultivating my own golden teachers, and the ones i acquire otherwise are also golden teachers. These are a good beginner one, hence why they're called teachers!
i am bad with the forums and replies and quoting so if my last post is jumbled up im sorry to everyone i accidentally quoted or whatever else i messed with LOL

Thank you for that update, that was an interesting read!

All kinds of psychedelics could be used that way, my honest opinion is that microdosing is more like a part of keeping the process up, high dosed psychedelics with meditation is the (normal) way to go. I've used lsd, shrooms in all doses and it helped a lot, but after a while accepting the fact that this life is prison, they do more harm than good. After taking 800ug LSD and "breaking" the wall, I was like, why do have to be in this matrix?

I'm happy that it works for you, just wanted to share my thoughts of 10 years of hq drug usage.
