Almost no effects from cubes (Mirtazapine and Setraline)

Hi there, today I ate 1.3g of dry cubes with some fresh orange juice, I was in a good mood and with a lot of expectations about my very first experience.
It was quite disappointing, I only experienced something like 2 tokes of weed, or a couple of beers. Nothing really awesome.
One good thing about the experience is that I found myself thinking in a thankful way about life, and all the good things that I have and don't appreciate. As I write it now, it don't seems so important, but a few hours ago it was.
I've been taking for 2 years Mirtazapine and Sertraline (probably SSRI) by medical prescription, and I don't want to quit that medication to improve the shrooms effects.
I plan to take a larger dose of cubes in a few weeks, any suggestion?

Sounds like your experience was OK for a first time. I have noticed some first time users do not experience as many visuals as people who have taken it before a few times. Not really sure why this happens but it was the case for me my first time with Cubensis. I took 1.6g of Subaeruginosa last weekend with someone who had never tried them, and I seemly got alot more visuals than her (she had same does). Its abit hard to understand this, anyone have any ideas about this?? My idea is that I am more sensitive to it because I reconize the feeling easier.
I would increase the dose but not by a hell of a lot, maybe between 1.5-1.8 grams... (If they are cracker dry and are potent mushrooms, 2 grams can be pretty decent).
Try to keep expections to a minimum - not to say this is you, but I do find some peoples expectations of LCD and mushrooms to be ridicules and unrealistic. Some people believe they will see all sorts of things and it will change their lives somehow, rarely is this the case.

1.3 isn't very much especially if you aren't combining it with anything else like weed etc. 2.0 is one of my sweet spots.

Thank you for your feedback, I'll follow your advice, my expectations was probably influenced by reading too much about this kind of stuff (and watching too much Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas :-P ).
Other thing that worry me is that I don't know if my mushrooms are weak in potency, they are Cambodian grown from PF cakes and then dried over a sheet of newspaper without a fan (dry weather here), it took like a week until they were cracker-dry. Maybe a week was too much time and they lost their potency...

For 1.3g taken with orange juice, the effects you experienced sound very weak. This is probably due to the medication you are taking, also possible that the mushrooms were very weak. If the medication you're taking are SSRIs (you should research this) you should stop taking them before trying again. SSRIs are known to make psilocin ineffective. I do not suggest trying to overcome the inhibiting effects of the SSRIs by increasing the dose of mushrooms, this seems like bad advice to me.

Thank you for your reply, I know that increasing the dose is not a safe way of overcome the medication possible inhibiting effects, but as I said in the first post I don't want to stop taking my medication.
I probably will be increasing the dose in very small steps, stopping at say 6g dried. If that doesn't work, well... maybe I should start giving my shrooms as a gift to my friends and look for other kind of stuff... that would be sad, I really enjoy to grow mushrooms :-(
