I can't enjoy low doses of mushrooms...

For some reason I have to blast my mind into the 5th dimension in order to enjoy myself on psychedelics. I get really bad somatic pain (mostly a sharp pain in my gut, but I don't get nausea) and anxiety attacks (chest tightness and shallow breathing) while tripping but I've found that if I take enough they don't bother me....I still feel them but I'm just so disconnected from the pain and discomfort that even though I can feel it and I know what's occurring there is just no opinion associated with it and I can focus my mind on more pleasant things. The best trip I've had was on 3.5g of shrooms, a hit of LSD and a bunch of weed (edible and smoked), and the worst by far also being the lowest dose of shrooms at around 2g.
Does anyone have any tips for stopping this? I still enjoy my trips as a whole but in the ones with lower doses there are some really unpleasant points and sleeping afterwards is nigh impossible without waiting it out or popping 100mg of Trazodone (which gives me a bitch of a hangover all day). I'd like to remain more or less functional and still enjoy myself...instead of laying in bed either in pain or with my mind somewhere far away.

I get super uncomfortable on less than an 1/8th. I always go for at least 4g just Incase. I still get uncomfortable, but there enough shroomage that I can easily puke and be fine after, not so on a small dose

yeah an 1/8th ftw, never did below an 1/8th, but I've got really weak ones before, definitely get the underwhelmed term ever since that batch, higher doses are where it's at, lower just leaves me with this anxiety that something more is coming, but never does. On higher doses, I just bypass that phase and nothing but pleasant things after. (usually)
I would try meditating though, helped me with my anxiety, sometimes (depending on how far out I am) even helped while tripping on higher doses if i could stay focused.

Yeah I get exactly what you guys described, meditating does help a bit but not always. I like tripping hard but I also want to be able to trip just enough to make things interesting at a small party or boring family gatherings without looking and sounding completely insane.

I feel great anxiety on the lower doses. I know exactly what you mean that you think something else is coming but it never does. That's when I'll get uncomfortable thought loops and ponder too much bad vibes. After my trip last night, I will only go for the higher doses, but less frequently.

The only time I do low doses is when I'm trying out a new strain and/or species and want to know what the REAL dose should be. Low doses are like getting an itch you can't scratch.

Yeah I had a difficult trip the other day that I had to abort with Trazodone...it wasn't super bad but I let the anxiety effect my thoughts and it was a really unpleasant experience during the peak, it was a lot better afterwards though. It was on like around 2g...I even tried to lemon tek them but it wasnt enough.

I usually enjoy low dose trips perfectly, like gram or less...
But then there was this one....
one time, i took 0.8 Grams of ps cyans, but first i miked it with aa drink called "DanActive" that has live bacteria. It was an experiment for a thread in TPE.
Anyway, after soaking the powder for 20 mins, i drank the weird DanActive drink. It was disgusting.
What was strange was during the come up, it felt pretty normal, then about a half hour later, the trip feels very "hallow", like all the power had been stripped away From the shrooms. it was like the trip was 80% aborted. So strange.
But in that mindset (imagined or the actual live bacteria), i felt very anxious and confused like "what the hell?". Still kinda tripping, but it felt "hallow".
Definitelty uncomfortable, might have to try the experiment again to see what the hell is going on....

If you don't take enough it's bad for me and my friends as well. Taking too much is worse than not taking enough for me, but both aren't ideal situations. Find a dosage range your comfortable with and stick to that.

Let me get this straight. You're saying that you get more anxiety from a low dose than a high dose? Is this just because you're totally "mindfucked" on high doses, so much that you have other things to focus on?
Interesting.

For me, low doses are like anxiety triggers, because there's weird feelings but there's no trip happening, kind of like a huge waste of an opportunity. Worst case would be low doses without any more available so you can't even redose. Never want to go there, not really.

I feel the same way. I just chalked it up to the fact that I take an SSRI, and that the effects of the pharmaceutical substance, on my brain, was hampering my ability to trip. My last big trip, I wasn't taking meds, and I tripped nuts on an eighth, but that isn't the case, anymore.

Interesting.
That's exactly what I mean, I get the weird feelings and introspective thoughts but my ego isn't touched at all so the feelings bother me (mostly somatic pain) and the thoughts sometimes cause me distress because I can't view them objectively like I can on larger doses.

Low doses offer the opportunity to fight and resist the experiece. The ability to resist it and switch between the realities turns an enjoyable trip easily into a rollercoaster of confusion and struggles.
Dosing too little may lead to a more confusing trip than dosing too high.

it's all about letting go,if you can let go easily then low doses are a trip in themself
but yeah on low doses I feel like f@ck this could have been so much better had I amped it a bit and then I proceed to get my ass kicked on low doses cause I can't let go.....
but letting go requires practice,meditate

Yeah, 'cause tripping isn't completely dose dependent - but with a low dose it's like you still have one foot stuck in ordinary reality and it won't easily come free...

I used to take low doses in the past. I came to a conclusion, that on low doses I feel stuck in the unpleasant coming-up stage, feeling the body load all the time. Then it ends and there is no trip.
High doses or gtfo.

Dont try to fight the Trip. Just let it take its course, and I think youve already answered your own question. Just repeat what you did the time the trip wasnt bad for you. But it was probably the weed that helped you out with that trip.
