I have been on SSRIs for the past 8 years of my life. I suffer from anxiety and depression/lack of motivation. I have tried every single SSRI/SNRI and nothing has helped. I'm taking Wellbutrin currently which is an NDRI, and doesn't effect seritonin greatly. About 3-4 weeks ago I weened myself off of Zoloft, and began taking microdoses to help ease the transition. I have to say that it has worked quite well. I have gone through withdrawal from Zoloft before and it is horrible. With the microdoses I have had little to no anxiety problems or brain zaps. Just a little irritable. 

I started with around .2 grams and I didn't feel anything as I expected since the Zoloft was messing with my seritonin pathways still. I increased to .5 grams after the 3rd day and kept increasing it by .1 grams every day until I felt something around .8 grams. I was laying down and I could feel a warmth and tingling in my limbs, that reminded me of LSD. I had motivation! I got up and made a big meal and ate healthy for the first time in months! I continued to increase the dose by .1 grams every other day until I got to 1.2 grams. I smoked some marijuana (which I normally can't do with out panic attacks) and I began to have a small learned panic reaction to the smell and taste of the weed. I went to lay down in bed and I began to see slight color pulses when I closed my eyes. Then the thoughts began to come. I thought about how I should talk to my parents and other loved ones and apologize for shameful things I have done while depressed and angry, earlier in my life. I thought about things I needed to get done to continue with my long awaited goal of starting a production company and build a multimedia studio. I have avoided these thoughts because they usually up my panic, but this time it wasn't stressful at all! This lasted for about an hour.  I continued at this dose for the past week and am no longer feeling those same effects from it. 

Now I am 3 weeks from the last time I took Zoloft. I am still taking the Wellbutrin, but have read it doesn't effect mushroom effects very much, and I actually helps me have an appetite. I have been microdosing for almost 4 weeks total and I now have developed a tolerance for about 1.2 grams to the point I can't tell I have taken anything. I am planning on taking a somewhat heroic dose sometime before I stop microdosing. 

Does anyone have any advice of what would be a good dose for around a Level 3 trip?  I'm not trying to go crazy since I am still recovering from that SSRI poison, but I would like to have a meaningful experience to help push me over into a less ego driven, less anxious, and motivated state of mind. I am willing to let go and just allow it to do its "magic" (pun intended haha). I have tripped on mushrooms a few times in my younger years (around 20 years old, I am 34 now) and 3 grams had me going pretty hard both times (around a level 3-4). However, this was before I started using adderall habitually during college and spun myself into a depressive spiral of shitty prescriptions and failed attempts to curb my anxiety and depression with SSRI garbage. I have only ever had normal Cubes when I've tripped. Right now I have a half of Cubensis ground up into a fine powder that I have been microdosing recently. I usually take it by wrapping it in tissue paper, and "parachuting" it orally with water. I'm really at a loss for what would be a safe but meaningful dose. I would just try 3 grams and work up, but I only have a limited supply, and I'd like to get it in one shot. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks in advance!

i was ignorant of mushrooms my first time and took them a little less seriously. I ate 7 grams of dried mushrooms. Apparently this guy i got them from had been growing shrooms for years so im pretty sure they were primo. Needless to say i had the best and scariest time of my life and i absolutely love magic mushrooms now. i did go into a bad trip for about the last 2 hours i guess thats when i peaked and it was terrible yet exciting at the same time. i learned from it which is what made my experience so good. But i do say 7 grams is crazy for a first time trip dont ever do that your first time unless your asking for trouble which i  was :D

I would definitely not recommend eating 10 grams in less than an 2 hours. You'll be asking for something that you'll never forget. lol.
