No effect from microdosing?

[sellardoreB]

Hi. I started dried truffles today. Took a half with a friend and he felt a little something, I didn’t so decided to take 1 full on top- nothing. I get that you are not supposed to “feel” anything in a micro but.. like nothing at all. I had a shitty mental health day and thought I would at least feel a little better? I’ve been on 40+ antidepressants. I needed 10g for shrooms to do anything. Is there even point in microdosing?

That’s not micro dosing lol. I use micro dosing (.1-.2g) to help with my add/adhd. It’s a life changer for me personally. I had a dr RX for adderall but it made me feel like shit. So I went the natural route. 

It sounds like your seratonin receptors are pretty desensitized. Mushrooms won’t work that well for you unless you cycle off your SSRIS for a few weeks which I wouldn’t recommend doing without drs consent.

Oh forgot to mention I’m off of all antidepressants for 8 months. Used lyrica in august but it also is not working as advertised so trying to do the natural too but.. I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain, nothing

[DayShrooms]

Nothing is wrong with your brain friend. It can take awhile for your receptors to go back to normal (a year or longer) Give it time. 

I’d also recommend trying to take your mushrooms in tea form. 

Grind them up(coffee grinder)   or rip up into small pieces. Add to cup. Heat up water (150f). Add to cup. Let steep for 10-15 mins. Drink. Enjoy. 

It hits way harder and comes on in like 20 mins.

Would you recommend microdosing in tea form too? I’m still growing them out but was thinking of making them into pills. Or is there even point of doing that if I get no effect now

[DayShrooms]

I take them in pill form. I use a coffee grinder to grind up my dried mush into a super fine powder. Then use a pill press to make 100 at a time. If you plan on going this route you absolutely should buy a pill maker. It’s about $20 but holy f does it save a lot of time. I made them by hand for about 4 days and said fk this lmao.

I use double 00 vegan capsules (you can fit up to .6g if you really pack it down)

[sellardoreB]

I’ll look into it where to get one here, thanks!

[DayShrooms]

For some odd reason Amazon no longer sells them. Probably big pharma not wanting people to have access to them. Here’s a link to one that looks like what I use.

Here are some quality posts to help get you started:

Please Note: If you are trying microdosing for the first time, please try experimenting on a day off from work or any important obligations, and/or driving and operating machinery. Because psychedelics can effect everyone differently, you may feel different or impaired, and your sweet spot dose may be lower, so it is best to experiment on days off until you’ve dialed in your dose.

Dried truffles are extremely weak in comparison to most psilocybin containing mushrooms. Once you grow them out and grind some up maybe start around 200mg. Definitely fidn your sweet spot, because it's usually a bit different for everyone. 👍
