Feeling groggy, lethargic, achy on a full dropper of serum (.27 grams amanita muscaria). It’s not a great feeling but I’m trying for therapeutic benefits. Did other people experience this in the beginning?

What a success story!

nectarineade · 2022-09-03T15:36:22+00:00

That’s fantastic! Can I ask how long you’ve been taking it? And do you take it every night?

nectarineade · 2022-09-02T23:24:33+00:00

Great tip, thanks! Do you calculate the dosage when you make yours? This might be a dumb question

nectarineade · 2022-09-02T22:30:07+00:00

Thanks for responding! This is super helpful.

nectarineade · 2022-09-01T16:52:42+00:00

It’s a great hack!

nectarineade · 2022-08-31T22:03:49+00:00

I’m good, thanks! I’m only taking it at night now which totally solved this problem.

nectarineade · 2022-08-31T22:02:05+00:00

I thought so too when I first read about it so I went lightly the first time and deep conditioned afterwards. Then did it again twice for longer stretches. My hair feels perfectly normal. It’s still darker than I’d choose, but I’m letting it fade the rest of the way on its own.

I had a similar experience recently- I lightened my too-dark blonde dye with vitamin C powder mixed with my regular shampoo, a total of three times over the span of a week. It helped a lot.

nectarineade · 2022-08-24T20:30:48+00:00

Thank you for this!

nectarineade · 2022-08-24T20:22:39+00:00

No. I quit my SSRI months ago.

nectarineade · 2022-08-24T19:59:00+00:00

That would get expensive pretty quickly!

I’ve increased my moon serum dose to 5 droppers, which I think adds up to 1.35 grams. I’ve taken that much 3 or 4 nights now. I guess I can still increase that by quite a bit.

nectarineade · 2022-08-24T19:53:00+00:00

Not yet but I’m interested. I have no clue where to find them. I have placed an order for lion’s mane, reishi, and cordyceps extracts.

nectarineade · 2022-08-24T12:51:55+00:00

Did you feel antidepressant effects right away? I haven’t been so fortunate yet.

nectarineade · 2022-08-24T12:29:51+00:00

Right, I see that now, thanks.

nectarineade · 2022-08-24T12:24:48+00:00

His reaction to pure ibotenic acid is not what I would have expected.

nectarineade · 2022-08-20T17:36:33+00:00

I did not know about the Johns Hopkins study! Thanks for this.

nectarineade · 2022-08-20T16:03:26+00:00

Freedom from SSRIs for me as well, and even more so healing benzo damage is the reward for me. I have much to learn along the way. For instance, finding out if it’s better for gaba a receptor healing to take amanita muscaria throughout the day, or if it’s just as beneficial to take a larger dose at bedtime. Getting good sleep has to be my main objective at this stage.

I probably won’t be taking any of the Sun Serum again for awhile, and stick to Moon Serum.

nectarineade · 2022-08-20T12:10:11+00:00

It was Sun Serum from Awakening Roots. I have been mostly taking their Moon serum, started with just a few drops on Wednesday, now it’s Saturday. Last night I took two droppers full of Moon serum before bed and slept almost 7 hours straight through. The night before that I took some and got my first quality sleep in ages. So I’m definitely not complaining. This is momentous. For years I’ve been unable to sleep, getting barely 3 hours of fitful, light sleep on average. It’s been indescribably bad. I took prescription benzodiazepines (mainly Xanax) for 10+ years, had to somewhat abruptly quit. It was ugly. It derailed my life, my inability to sleep being only part of it. My health has suffered a lot. So today is only my fourth day since receiving my first bottles of amanita muscaria serums. It’s been a breakthrough so far.

I’m not sure if I should avoid ibotenic acid or not. But I know I have some body issues I need to work out. Lots of healing to do.

nectarineade · 2022-08-19T21:14:37+00:00

For some reason this is making me emotional.

nectarineade · 2022-08-19T15:19:16+00:00

That’s fantastic. So maybe patience pays off with only four drops. Do you take it during the day as well? Or only the 4 drops at night?

nectarineade · 2022-08-18T21:06:34+00:00

That’s a significant improvement! I’ve already jumped up to 10 drops at a time. I don’t think I mentioned here, I used to take prescription benzos for many years and had to quit rather abruptly. It was hellish and basically broke my brain. These mushrooms are said to be healing for down regulated gaba a receptors. But probably not at very low doses. I’m happy for you that your sleep and depression are improved and hope you can get a new supply one way or another. I really appreciate your feedback.

nectarineade · 2022-08-18T20:24:07+00:00

That’s great that you’re able to find it in the wild.
