Effexor is a nightmare to get off of. It's taken me three years to cut it in half. I've been on it since I was 19. I'm 34 now. I will eventually get off of it slowly. Been actually feeling better eating all these medicinal mushrooms and taking stamets7 in conjunction with Aloha medicinal Lions Mane capsules. I just started the capsules yesterday. I am taking them till my new lions mane grow starts. It's improved my mood and disorganized thinking a bit. My focus is slightly better too.

That's good to hear TBC, I confess I used to be on a total of four mental health medications, and decided 3 of them weren't right for me over time. But I also confess Zyprexa has been literally an absolute life saver for me- allows me good deep REM sleep every single night (used to be an insomniac), smooths out my bipolar mood swings- which the two together help with my depression- and I haven't had a psychotic, hallucination filled breakdown in the 6 years I've been on it. Finding medication that works for you can be a difficult, laborious, and sometimes scary process- but sometimes you can find a med that feels like it was designed specifically for you, and I know I wouldn't be where I am today without it.

I just misread your post into "I used to be on a total of four mental health conditions, and decided three weren't right for me over time"

Not mycology related but it fits the atmosphere. I confess I had a period of my life where I abused sertraline (aka Zoloft). If you don't take it for a day or so and then take a whole bunch it gives you a plugged in electric feel. It also caused me to be in 100% control of my sexual labido. I could literally choose when to orgasm and I could orgasm as many times in a row as I chose.... without taking a break. The girlfriend I had when I figured this out called me the energizer bunny. The problem is dosing up on Zoloft like that puts you into a manic state where you are on top of the world one minute and then wondering if things could get any worse the next. Total roller coaster ride. Eventually I realized I couldn't live like that so I quit.

microdosing is definitely a good choice of therapy for a lot of people. You can microdose basically anything though, and I think most drugs will have a therapeutical benefit in this way, maybe even heroin. The thing is, if you look at nature, there's always a balance. When the balance is disturbed too much, things switch. It's part of the yin-yang principle. So if you take a little bit of weed, and smoke or vape that, you get high, and relaxed, and it can serve as a medicine. But smoke all day every day you'll eventually be down, and annoyed. A lot of medicines becomes a poison when used in excess. It therefore only stands to reason that a lot of poisons have medicinal potential in smaller quantities.
Another principle is that the whole is easier balanced than the sole compound, so raw opium for instance, is less addictive, than pure morphine or heroin.

I couldn't agree more. Consuming things in their natural state usually keeps you from using too much.

I would really advise you too look into Ibogain! Idk if there are legel Ibogain treatments in US but I know that there are a few countries in Europe that provide Ibogain treatment. Idk if you live in the states or not, but if you do then you should really see erurope and maybe take a trip to Holland and see the capital of Cannabis and other natural medicine 
I payed 450 Euro for 3 days Ibogain treatment at a mini resort house type of thing. It was a Wich and her husband who was probbably also a wich of some kind, they modified their big house into a Ibogain treatment center and they had a really cool name for their resort but now I can't remember the name. Funny thing tho that my Ibogain shaman in Holland was named Maria, and a year after that I went to Peru and my ayahuasca shaman was also named Maria. Wish you the best of luck in the future wherever life takes you

My manic episodes usually start around winter months, I just can't get deep sleep during the dark months (northern europe, long dark night/days) and when you sleep only a few hours/night then it's not a good idea to go and try to party hard during that period.
A HEAVY dose mushrooms always reminds me that I'm Jesus Christ and than I don't need to be running around like a maniac but simply stay home and enjoy mushroom cultivation

my manic episodes are more like 'being a bitch' in the general sense. it usually stems from something basic like not getting my way. then my brain tries to connect my frustrations to tiny 'problems' i immediately perceive.
my wife would refer to this as 'being a docuhe'

Eckhart Tolle would call that the "Pain Body" he says that the Pain Body is an entity that feeds of the energies off other Pain Bodies. That's why some people are just looking for trouble and why so many people offer them trouble back, cause both of their Pain Bodies have identified each other and know that they can feed off each other. We know so many things about ourselves and still it's hard to control ones emotions like we'd like.

Sometimes you body goes automatically into "pain" mode without you even realizing it. For example just by crossing ones arms, or tensing the eyebrows, all of this releases chemicals in our brain than make us more defensive or irritated.
If one simply makes a smiling gesture with the face muscles when for for example scared or worried, the brain will automatically start to release the tensions because it actually thinks that everything is fine because of the muscles in face are telling the brain that everything is fine. Really, this is all what Eckhart means with the "Pain Body" and there is a TON of research to back this up. We all know very well that our body language is the translation of our mood. But also in reverse our body language can affect our mood.
So start by simply observing your Pain Body to see what it is up to during the day 
(btw i'm not at all trying to give you life advice haha I think you are more than capable of understanding yourself better than I understand you) I'm just sharing

I've been reading some of your posts talking about the "self", but tbh I think you got it wrong. I had to kinda bite my tonge not to answer before because I hate to go full-on spiritual teacher when I myself am balls deep yet into the "separate self" illusion.
The essential self is not a cluster of past experiences, self-images, thoughts, and feelings, that's what most of us (including myself) identify with and think is us. At an essential level all that is pure ilusion and does not have a solid reality to it other than the one we give it. You believe it to be true and it manifests into "existence", it's a measure of how immense our creative power is, for good or for bad.
The observer, the 'real' observer, has no qualities whatsoever, it is pure sensitivity and pure awereness in its raw form. It's the 'screen' in wich all experience is played. The problem is that we identify with a cluster of feelings, sensations and perceptions and that's the bane of humanity as a whole. All our problems and sense of isolation comes from that.
