trying to find others who get extreme sleepiness from microdosing mushrooms
    #23864391 - 11/24/16 07:07 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hi,

I am curious if others have experienced extreme sleepiness for hours with micro doses of mushrooms (100 - 150mg dried. 0.1 - 0.15g No idea what strain).

I've been micro dosing with mushrooms for 9 months (no idea which strain). I am primarily using it to help with depression and PTSD and quickly discovered that it can greatly help migraines also (yay!!!).
I used the Fadiman schedule as a loose guide - dose one day, two days off, dose next day etc - though sometimes I takes it more frequently if needed for migraines, or less frequently if I forget or life interferes.

When I slack off on the schedule, my mental and emotional state really suffer so I want to stay regular...
But...
I get SO incredibly sleepy and drowsy from my doses that it interferes with normal function so I often miss doses because I can't afford to go and pass out suddenly for 3-4 hours!

Has anyone else experienced this symptom from micro dosing?
Have you found a way around it *without* using stimulants?

I really want to get back on track because the benefits are amazing, but the extreme sleepiness is a big impediment to doing so.
I understand that increased serotonin is not ideal for sleep which is why I don't just take it before bed. Also, the sleep I get on it doesn't feel nice to say the least.

Thanks for any experience you are able to share!

Have a great day

Try dosing before sleep? :shrug:

Shrooms make people yawn a lot, but there's no sleepiness about it, it's just a reaction from the drug hitting your 5-HT5 receptors

Thanks connectedcosmos. I've definitely considered doing that but the sleep quality is poor and I'd wake up in the middle of the night ready to take on creative projects. (Not conducive to getting up in the morning LOL!).
Also, I do feel that there is benefit to being awake when it's in my system - thinking more mindfully anger objectively etc, heroes build those neural pathways so that they are easier to access even when not micro dosing. :-)

Thanks Gaspard.
Yeah, I've had that yawning effect occasionally. This is different though. Full on sleepy as if I took a sleeping pill. Often unable to stay awake and I pass out for a few hours.
I know people have different reactions so I'm trying to find others that reach a similar way to trade tips, explore the pattern etc

It is amazing for migraines I can tell you that it's strange and for micro dosing I have only really done it for months on end about 4 or 5 for the same reasons but i was doing around .2 through .4 I noticed for a little while I was very tired more so dreamy, but I would think you shouldn't get that strong of effects after 9 months if not takes breaking and upping dose. I don't really know though when I did it i would go 2 or 3 days then wouldn't even feel the need for a few days its a great cure for depression I wish I had some. I think micro dosing is so under rated its very powerful for those who need it. Best of luck.

Thanks for your input mushiefeet! Yeah the migraine benefit kicks a$$! :smile:
I haven't been microdosing non stop, I take 2 days of in between doses. Sometimes more.
I'm glad it was helpful for you too for depression!

Have you tried coffee? Or maybe stop for a week if your can and set your mind straight for a bit I dont think mushie for 9 months is gonna kill your but its probably making your head spin a little not in a bad way but I did notice after weeks it still would effect my mood but no vision just like a nice stoned effect.

It just causes you too see life different that's why I like it you can notice a big color difference I remember walking to make breakfast and im like damn its so bright it just puts you in a slower mind and you realize we are all suffering and pushing through life so relax and just go with the flow. Way easier said lol.

I have tried stopping a number of times (longest was 3 weeks ish) but I very quickly return to severe depression, non functional etc.
I use the Fadiman schedule so I'm not taking the micro doses every day. There are 2 days without taking it in between each dose.
My doses are small enough that there are few to no psychedelic effects. About a tenth of a gram. :-)
I'm trying to avoid stimulants, caffeine etc due to anxiety But have tried it a few times. Doesn't seem to combat the drowsy. Just makes me feel anxious and nervous at the same time. I can still fall asleep.
The sedative like effect seems to happen less when I've got a migraine so I'm curious about what's happening with neurochemistry!
Hopefully some others will have had similar experiences and we can compare notes and see if there are commonalities. :smile:
Thanks again for your ideas and sharing personal experience!

Hmm im not sure I notice I get that anxiety twitchy shaky looking around even talking to my family stud-er, I notice its from a lot of lack of sleep and not feeling good body feels heavy and lots of drinking is horrible. When I have something too do and look forward to in the morning I notice a complete change in my mind depression is very easy to pile on yourself when not doing much even if its a few hours i notice a bipolar feel keep busy I picked up hobbies I always wanted but sucked like drawing I starting playing my drum and bass again and remembered how relaxing and fun it was too just get away. It only takes a few minutes to get out of the loneliness the mind is very strong I always feel the sad thoughts creeping and its hard to say no, it's okay to hurt it makes us better people. Just no its yourself that voice that's trying to make us better.
