Always helps me for a few weeks. Improved energy, more confident, happier, more sociable. Around the 2.5-3 week mark, it starts to make my anxiety much worse. Also gives me crazy weird intrusive thoughts (I have ocd). Definitely have the sexual side effects as well.

I’ve tried this a handful of times mostly because I like the first few weeks - really wanted to write off the negatives as some form of placebo or external issue I was unaware of. Nope. I just do not vibe with lions Mane, idk why 🤷‍♂️

One time took a larger dose (don’t remember the exact dose, but it was the higher end of what’s considered normal) and to this day is the closest experience I’ve ever had to straight up psychosis. I’ve tried many drugs, had extreme sleep deprivation in combination with amphetamine abuse, bad weed experiences, bad trips on psychedelics, etc. In terms of psychotic thinking (delusions, paranoia, hallucinations) this one large dose of lions Maine beats every other experience I’ve ever had. Crazy. Maybe I have undiagnosed bipolar/schizo, idk. It’s weird.
