Low dose shrooms & anxious energy

When I take 1g shrooms I feel mild anxiety throughout the trip. Is this common in lower doses? When I take more I can break through and feel total peace and serenity. So just wondering if the anxiety is a dose thing or a me thing. Thanks

That's pretty normal at low doses.

It’s not inevitable that you will feel that way on a low dose - but from the threads here and from my own experience it does seem fairly common.

1. how many hours in does the higher dose become deliciously free of discomfort?
2. after how many hours did the lower dose seem too uncomfortable?
I think the answer to both questions is the same, but the higher dose has better visuals and euphoria, and if high enough, you get amnesia effects during the higher dose come up, so it seems 100%.
high doses are great, low doses also have an interesting spectrum of effects.

You are correct in that the answer is the same for both. This is irrelevant.
You could have bouts of discomfort from the onset or it could come in waves. No real answer.
Idk about the amnesiai haven't dosed high enough for blackouts.
Low dose for me is -3g which I now avoid like the corona. If I can't get at least 3.5 I tend to be in for a uncomfortable headspace.

Dose thing. For me it's like a taste of something that won't quite resolve, and I think that makes you feel anxious.

The anxious feeling I think is misinterpreted because the low dose doesn't connect all those mind/body/soul dots the way a higher dose does. Like opening up one path for pressure and only touching the other two you get this imbalance and you need that balance to start the conversation. The mushrooms want you to accept them. Accept their lessons and the experience. Everything they have to offer. What they have to offer at those doses is a primal kind of energy. It's the first step in this evolution that is the elevating experience, one of the first rungs on the ladder. It's hard to see the point so low on said ladder but you chose to climb it all the same. If that is your place on the ladder you have to embrace its purpose just as much as your own. The anxiety has a purpose. That purpose is acceptance, and to make you feel like the animal you are.

There's been several times over the years where I've taken a low-dose for a mild day-trip outdoors somewhere and it left me in a very weird, uncomfortable, anxious & depressed head space along with a heavy & uncomfortable body load. Feeling tired/sedated & slow. Cold. Feeling "out of it" and not focused. Just all around not feeling well physically, cognitively, or emotionally.
It feels like I'm stuck in the "coming up" phase, which tends to have a lot of uncomfortable aspects for me.

1....When I take a full dose I'm usually past the uncomfortable aspects of the come up/first phase of the trip by around 90 minutes after dosing.
2....When I've taken low doses and have got stuck in a not so pleasant head-space along with an uncomfortable body load, I usually start to feel uncomfortable around 45 to 60 minutes after dosing and those aspects tend to last at least 3 to 4 hours before everything starts to subside & fade away.

Re-upping is the cure for setting the original dose too low.

Do a guided meditation. Your mindset shouldn't be too scrambled to get lost in a guided meditation and you'll get rid of your anxiety for the time of the meditation at least.
Check Spotify, Youtube, find a voice that calms you and just do what is asked.

If the unfortunate effects linger afterwards into one’s ordinary life / “contaminate” it - for lack of a better phrase - then yes, tripping again on a higher dose potentially can fix it right away. Other times it’s just a matter of time and keeping an appropriate perspective on things and I’ll return to normal without needing to trip - but I’ll admit that it took me some time to figure out how to get myself right when faced with the aforementioned situation. But I found it nonetheless.
If I take a low dose trip - sometimes it’s just a low dose trip - ie. clarity, enhanced mood & memory & vitality , greater appreciation of the sensory organs and what they perceive etc, but other times it’s like I’m stuck in the come up phase and it’s not a good place to settle into. At its worst It feels more like a poison or toxin driving me a tiny bit mad than anything else. Similar but not identical to a mild to moderate fever dream state + food poisoning. Key, is remembering and knowing all things are impermanent - the duration of the substance, various perceptions, mental states of consciousness, bodily sensations etc etc - all with a beginning, middle, and end - all temporary. Knowing that is more than enough to keep from losing composure or ones mind.
I find that, if I do find myself in that state - I’ve learned that if I eat and then take a 1 hr. long very hot shower with the lights off or dimmed very low and then take a nap afterwards I wake up feeling refreshed again. At that point the trip is only a memory and fades to unreality like last nights dream.
I’ve also found that having my bowels clear either before or after helps immensely. 
I took 1.2g dry of amazonians yesterday, went to the driving range and then came home, studied, and made dinner and it was fantastic. That same dose level sometimes puts me out, but it was perfectly fine this time.
