Microdosing Psilocybin - For the treatment of depression - Guidance and Discussion
    #26682582 - 05/20/20 05:28 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

TLDR - Microdosing to treat the sads, please share experiences and links to reading/videos that may help.


Hello lovely people,

I am in the process of harvesting, drying and storing wild P. subaeruginosa in preparation to commence microdosing (in the next month or so). ideally I would like to be able to grow my own for a more reliable supply however this is not possible for me.

ORIGIN STORY
Stemming from childhood trauma I have been affected by depression and suicidal thoughts from about the age of 12 (I am now 23). This impacts on my capacity to study (currently doing honours), relationships and my overall enjoyment of life. Given the hand I was dealt I feel I could have come up much worse but luckily have had some of the best support networks a person could ask for.

THE PLAN
I have used anti-depressants before and am not a fan of the negative impacts, the last 6 months have been even more of a rut than usual and I was planning on getting back on anti-depressants. In the past I have had some of the most powerful senses of self-love and acceptance on (2-3g) mushroom doses that wash away all self-resentment (which I know I shouldn't have). The afterglow of the psilocybin left me a happier, more productive person for a bout a week but I slip back into old negative thought patterns and habits.

I want to experiment with microdosing psilocybin to attempt to achieve a more sustained enthusiasm for life, formulating positive thought patterns and daily routine.

MY REASON FOR BEING HERE
So I have come to the world wide web to seek guidance from fellow fungi lovers. If you've had experiences with micro dosing, especially in relation to mental health problems I would love for you to share however much or little you would like (I am a very non-judgmental person). Also please share links to literature (preferably peer reviewed / a credible source) that you believe may assist me.

AND PLEASE don't be afraid to share negative experiences in microdosing I would prefer a well rounded view so I can make informed decisions.

EDIT: Forgot to ask, please share your methodology for microdosing, i.e what dose, how often, how many days did you take off, were you consuming any other substances (recreational or otherwise) dueing.

Below is the general guide I have tried to more or less follow the past 2 years:

(.1g) to (.35g) dry/ per micro-dose depending on potency of the flush.  1 x per week  . As needed, as a sort of spirit medicine - often going months without needing to microdose - I find a good microdose can be refreshing balancing to my perspective and mood.  Taken on the sabbath.  It requires my participation for the full benefit, that means inner work- active & passive reflection, self inventory, meditation, etc.

(5g-6.5g in Tea) dry/ per macro-dose “ “ 1-  2 x annually.  Once at the birth of the year, sometimes once in the middle of the year, and once at the death the year.

Past 2 years I’ve been good.  I’m well acquainted with and generally happy with how my psychic life is, relatively equanimous, cool-headed, rational.  External life, easy going but hard working, has a sense of personal purpose and meaning.  Overall, quite content and very pleased & grateful be alive.  Reality is enchanting and there is a secret pleasure to be found in all things in every moment.  Also, learning is fun.  Relationships are a precious gift, and things just make clear sense.  Still just a man like anyone else, with the same basic ignorance and what not, but even that’s cool and okay in the right proportion.

Combined with some combo regiment of studying, working, moderate exercise, balanced diet, family & close friends and practicing & having the dharma & gospel as a guide & life style & practice  -
I’m finally where I wanna be.  A direct omnipresent sense of always being at home, yet forever on the way.  And for the time being, because of the covid19 pandemic and quarantine / lockdown - I’m now literally at home a lot more .... :lol:

Don’t know how much of it is the fungi, but I’m quite taken in by the little things, even if I only end up taking a micro dose once a month in between 1 to 2 macro doses a year.

Good luck to you  :cheers:

Hello and thank you for the response :smile:

I like the perspective of taking only on days when I feel it is needed, I was going to approach it in the same fashion as taking regular anti-depressants with the obvious difference of a tolerance-break. It would suck to build up any kind of reliance on taking a micro-dose for the day, this would seem like a step in the wrong direction.

Taking macro-doses is something I'm avoiding in the near future, I've had them plenty times before with both immensely pleasurable and challenging trips. But feel I am not in the head-space for the pressure of a trip turning challenging. I hope to return to a macro-dose one day as I see the benifits, especially with something as introspective as psilocybin.

Thank you for your insights, as you said -"don't know how much of it is the fungi" - I think it will be important to integrate the dosing with the intention of doing the other things you discussed. The human body and mind struggles to stay healthy without physical and mental stimulation, I find those things enjoyable but I definitely struggle with consistency in excercise and learning. I hope the microdosing might help in regards to persistent motivation.

Thank you :heart:
