I've had those types of icepick headaches as you call them. Mad pain that just has to be suffered through. I always just thought it came from sustained hits to the head (i used to hit myself esp on the head in the past, like a fool)

never could come up with a truly satisfying reason for those sharp pains. they just come super irregularly so impossible to predict and that wouldnt even matter since the pain is the stop / drop everything kind that just immobilizes you

i've been a daily toker for some time, recently moved to vaping. hm, never considered whether bud could be the culprit of those head pains

i'd say our eating habits are pretty similar minus the keto.

First we would fight. I always used to dream about a clone of myself I could scrap with, another vicious and unpredictable fiend of fisticuffs. Then, being a super freak, we would get down like that. While smoking bowls of course. Idk if it would be considered gay or not to fuck around with your own self..a dilemma for philosophers.

I’ve been microdosing for a couple months now. The first day I took some at work and I was surprised at how strong .25g was lol. It was a weird kind of day. I haven’t been on a consistent schedule though which I think I should do. I definitely like the feelings of energy and focus. I shoot better in my archery practice and get in stroke quickly playing pool. Maybe keeping a log will help with staying on a schedule.

I’ve generally been a lot happier and more hopeful for the future since I started. No negatives that I’ve seen so far.

I keep a log. Day number, date, dose amount, time.

No other information is recorded. Too messy.

Tolerance is a thing. While I get effects from each and every dose, I have them dialed in to where I am very comfortable with those effects, being able use and utilize increases in physical energy as well as cognitive abilities.

I am a fellow traveller.  Been micro dosing for several years.  Over the 18 months it's been a well packed '0' capsule every morning before a long walk.  I'm nearly 70 years old and walk 10-15 miles a day with a small but athletic dog.  The morning walk gives me a 1.5 to 2 hour flow state.  At this time of pandemic isolation I have been able to remain sane and fairly social at an outdoor distance of 6-10 feet.  The daily dosing has really helped me be more self observant.  I've become more mindful of what and how I eat, read, and think and that has helped me change for the better.  I understand that Albert Hoffman micro dosed lsd daily until he passed at a bit over 100 years.  I do believe that he was onto something.

Hello, I didn't read every post in this thread, so sorry if some of this is repetitive, but I wanted to contribute my experience with microdosing for only 3 weeks and the changes it has made in my life so far.

I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. It first started almost 20 years ago after I graduated high school. I started to pull away from all my friends and family and became a hermit and never left my house. I never thought of harming myself, but I have felt utterly hopeless. I also developed an eating addiction and have gained a lots of weight. I've tried every SSRI/SNRI, benzo, and even antipsychotic (my doctor says a small dose of antipsychotics help with obsessive thoughts). None of this truly helped. Well...the benzos certainly alleviate my anxiety, but I don't like taking them because I could easily see myself becoming addicted to them.

Anyway, about a year or so ago I decided to try microdosing with LSD. It helped, but for some reason it increased my anxiety and gave me bad headaches. It could have been bad LSD, who knows. Either way, after a couple weeks of trying it, I decided LSD wasn't for me and gave up on microdosing. I stupidly assumed that mushrooms would have the same effect.

Well at the beginning of this month, I decided to try the Paul Stamets protocol of .2grams of psilocybin, lions mane, and niacin 4 days on and three days off. At first it didn't seem to do a lot. But after about a week, I felt like it finally started to work.

Heres some things that have changed in my life after microdosing after about 3-4 weeks:

1) I finally saw some of my old friends. Some of them I haven't seen in 15+ years.
2) I feel less desire to consume large quantities of food.
3) I feel the desire to leave my house and do things rather then sit on the couch all day feeling depressed. It sucks I have to start to feel this way while theres a pandemic, but at least I have the desire to change.
4) I feel more in touch with my emotions, both bad and good. I have learned a lot about myself in the past few weeks.
5) My relationships are getting better. I actually talk to old friends, family members, co-workers. My love for my wife and son has grown so much. The SSRI's blunted my positive emotions, and mushrooms have started to bring those back.

I could go on and on. But so far, this has truly been life changing. In general I feel happy everyday and having a major desire to change my life. Like Terrance once said, "Take it easy dude, but take it!"

:solidnod:

Glad to see people benefiting from microdoses.

Day 672 today.

People have suggested to take breaks but I don't see any reason to when I continue to receive benefits each day.

I too, find myself lazy and microdosing makes me feel more obligation towards responsibilities.

My wife and I just completed 4 months. We dose every 4th day 120mg for her and 200mg for me. After 60 days my wife completely stopped taking Wellbutrin after being on it for nearly 20 years. More importantly, her anxiety and depression is greatly reduced and no longer impacts her daily life. The trick for us was to find a dose that didn't feel weird. The ideal dose to us feels like a strong cup of coffee with no pupil dilation or yawning.

Yeah dialling in the dose is tricky. Took me a while to find what worked better for me. I'm still fine tuneing it. But here's to mushrooms! They're are wonderful!

I have been keeping logs of everything since the early 1990's
in the 2000's I started using microsoft word cause I can include pics and format, and let it format like a web page (flowing to the window size).

I try to keep backups because occasionally windows crashes.

I have a fixed area at top, with necessities, then I have appointments, then
today's date, followed by any details, weblinks, feelings, problems, attempts to fix problems, who came over, who called etc.
if I do something interesting I can usually find a record of it.
initially I kept salvia logs separate from work logs, but now everything is in one place like a diary and appointment book.

I have attached an image that shows how I do my log, this section does not include micro-dosing information or any personal details but you can see how it can be adapted and become useful for a large variety of keeping one's story straight, and one's life in order.

To me, 300mg feels more strange than 3g. The mighty micro effect is real.

I totally agree.  For several years my normal dose was 120mg due to dwindling supply.  I prefer a bit more these days.  Less is more certainly can apply to the magic. :mushroom2:

I tend to increase about 30mg every 3 months on a 1 on and 3 off day cycle.

I love this. I would like to get my Mom on board, but that is a tough sell. They accept that it helps me. That's about as far as it goes.
