First high dosage for wife's depression

Hello my fellow scholars!!
I have a quick question regarding a good dose for my wife?
Quick background:
My wife had a traumatic 17 year marriage with her ex. I wouldn't say it was all bad the whole time but they did get divorced and re-married at one point. He would openly have affairs and leave her behind with the children. She would get hit even for small things like if the food wasn't made to his liking, when she gave birth to their last child he left her at the hospital and drove an 1 1/2 hours away to be with a girlfriend. Just all around bad for my misses. He came to the apartment one day and I set that straight. lets just say he don't call harassing her no more and he comes correct. anyways...
Were together 5 years and doing good. The whole time together she has been given at least 8 different kinds of anti-depression medication. At one point it was around 5 pills in the morning and half that at night, just a cocktail of pharmaceuticals. Now she is down to one anti depressant and something for migraines.
My boy gave me .7 of fruits and I felt GREAT!!! Loved it so much I started to research it. Started seeing articles of micro dosing, and said fuck it lets give it ago for my wife. Only thing is she is strongly against the use of "drugs" like shrooms and weed. Dont get me started on how everything she is taking is drugs and these are plants. So after days of debate I convinced her that I could grow these (thanks to all the teks found on here), put them in capsules (she doesn't like pulp so lemon tek's out, and shes used to taking capsules), have her take them like vitamins and she wont get a "high" or "trippy" feeling. She agreed and now flash forward, and half my closet is my lab, and my wife has micro-dose pills .2 - .3 and takes one every 2-3 days when she remembers and I try to remind her also.
I have given her 1 gram I think, or it was .8 (i think .8) when were going to my dads and she was feeling good and didn't complain to me. She has asked for more one time before that and I gave her .7. We are planning a get away from the kids for about 5 days and I want to give a good size dose that would be beneficial. She would be aware of how much it is and if she wouldn't agree then I wouldn't go through with it. It would be at vegas in our room that she likes. She always asks for it every year. I told her my plan and so far she seems on board. So there is my not so quick background.
I was thinking around 2 grams for her and 3 for me. I have taken 4.5g and had a blast. Saw the textures on wall slide down like a waterfall and I aged in the mirror and saw myself old, wrinkly, gray hair. Kind of like an old man in a casket. anyways enough about that...
On to the question....
What amount of fruit do you think would be good for my wife? (I'm feeling around 2 grams)
I appreciate you guys....

Hunting and eating psychedelic mushrooms has definitely helped my wife with her depression. She had a very traumatic childhood and suffers from PTSD and a myriad of other mental health problems. I often dose low with her and we have had some great healing trips. Maybe I can get her to hop on here and share her experiences, but I would say it has the potential to work better than any anti depressants on the market

Can you please do? I battle depression, use mushrooms that take me right out of it, and would benefit greatly reading her experience.

So this is a tough one. Most of us believe medium to high doses can certainly help and heal (mainly because we experienced it) but it can also be frightening (my last experience was so intense I was unbelievably frightened but I got through it and emerged for the remainder of my trip into unbelievable beauty).
Personally, I've experimented a lot with mid doses (1.5-2.5g). And those doses can be "fun" but don't provide the "mystical" sort of experience (unless they are very potent or of the penis envy varieties).
My first experience of regular cubes was 3 or 3.5g (don't remember the exact dose as it was guided and we were told the quantity but I forgot). They were pretty potent as none of my 3/3.5g trips have reached that level (only my 1.5g APE trip has surpassed it).
But that dose turned my life around. And I'm glad my first trip was heavy (note: my set and setting was beyond amazing for it so that played a role). My 1.5-2.5g doses have been fun and therapeutic but didn't foster the sort of changes that 3g+ can and frequently does.
Obviously this decision is hers. I, personally, would take 3.5g+ if my cubes were "average" potency and 1-1.5g if they were PE variety. But some people need less, have lower natural tolerance, etc.
The other important thing is, it may be helpful to her if you were a sober guide, especially at higher doses. She may need help if her experience is tough.
Here's a good book for guiding others through the psychedelic experience:
The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide: Safe, Therapeutic, and Sacred Journeys Book by James Fadiman

I appreciate all the help... I really do!! I'm going to keep talking to my wife about it, hopefully shes up to something higher than 2. The cubes in my sig actually knocked my socks off when I tested (cough, cough.... sampled) 1 gram. I gave a gram to a buddy and he thought they were penis envy because it got him good to. Those are currently the one I have in capsules.

Just adding my two cents for me I have blacked out several times on 3.5g and find 1 -2g my therapeutic dose. those experiences I can integrate. I am a female
but yeah it would depend on variety and strength so something to think about

i could freshly comment on this subject, last night i had my first psilocybe cubensis experience with my girlfriend who i have just gotten back with after 10 year apart.
we only dosed low on roughly .5 each but it was incredible healing to us both, she had suggested in the week so i proceeded to try to comfort her about what may happen and i sai dd i would prefer to try a low dose first.
on the day we went to a nature site and walked around amazing trees and fungi and had a beautiful day n the sun, without psilocybe. we then got home, i coloured her hair for her and we had a nice mushroom stir fry meal and watched some series on the box.
i made sure not to be the one to bring up doing psilocybe, i wanted to make sure it was what she wanted, then 10pm came and ss he asked me if we could smiling happily. we giggled and pro ceded to take .5g each with water and just sat waiting for the effects.
the fun was right away, love effect ion and giggles ensued and we had a lovely night of talking and memory's and laughter. there was sno crazy visuals but the connection was so pure it was a beautiful end to such a great day and she is more than excited to learn more about this tool and use it in spiritual ways in the future.
all in all i believe this was a perfect first time. i think i would have been a little worried on a huge fi rsst dose but i think gradual ups are gg ood in some cas ess, others not.
hope that is informative x
