Microdosing questions: amount, how long effects last, etc

Hello! So I’ve been using shrooms for awhile now and I’ve recently gotten into microdosing. Right now I have liberty caps and I make them into a tea.I took a small amount yesterday and today and I genuinely did feel happier and more social! I have depression, anxiety, and ADD. I was wondering how many grams of shrooms you all would take for microdosing? Also if I was to take the shrooms how long would the effects be? Like would they only last a few hours or would they last a few days? I’ve heard of some people taking shrooms 5 days in a row and then taking a break for 2 days and so on so forth so they don’t gain a tolerance. I also have a friend that takes them everyday. Also has microdosing helped you out? Any other tips appreciated ☺️

As far as I know everyone is different. It's all a matter of experimentation until you find what works for you. The best and only advice I can give you is to always err on the side of caution.
But I can also share my story.
I started following the Fadiman's protocol, but I figured that I do not need to dose that often. I am dosing for work. So I don't need a dose on the weekends, and on weekdays I don't always feel like I need a dose.
What I am doing right now is taking 1 WET gram Mondays and MAYBE Thursdays. That is enough to carry me through the week, but I tend to have low stress Thursday evenings and Fridays. I know this is no direct answer to your question on how long the effects last, but I hope it sheds the light you need.
Again it depends on your needs, and maybe its all placebo as we have no concrete science about it. Be careful.

I don't have experience with libs.
My microdosing has been of home grown cubensis, homogenized powder in 00 caps.
I feel effects at typical psilocybin timing. Roughly ninety minutes after ingestion, I feel a subtle release of pressure in my skull and my shoulders relax.
Effects last maybe three to four hours.
I've been dosing daily for nearly two years, Dec 30th. No tolerance buildup to note but rather an adaptation to effects.

Usually find it takes 2 to 3 days and I feel kind of back to my old self after a low dose/ strong micro dose. Do it once a week on Saturday to chill. Finding less is more, can be good to get stuff done.

After a little dialing in I've found a sweet spot of dosing 0.16-0.2g every three days.
It got me out of a big funk a while back, and is helping to keep me afloat. I like having the 'sober' days between as it helps to give the effects some contrast as I have found them to be subtle.
I've really been enjoying studying on my microdose days.
However, I will add that since I started micro dosing there have been a few events in my personal life that have been difficult. Microdosing helped a bit, but it definitely made me appreciate that it doesn't solve all your issues, it's a long way from being a silver bullet. But it's been a nice compliment to my other 'self care' activities. Namely exercise and sitting meditation.
My biggest piece of advice would be to start small, like really small with your dose. And very slowly build up till you find the balance you need. Personally I was very keen to make sure that microdosing didn't just turn into me getting a little high every three days. I've abused substances in the past and it's not what I need. If I want a good time I'll set aside the time to take a high dose, but microdosing for me needs to remain a helpful tool in becoming a better person.

The wife & I usually microdose 0.20 from home grown B+ five days a week (if not more). It helps her with anxiety & overall general stresses. Personally I just enjoy the euphoria and music is 100x better. I will say it lowers my stress levels as well. Working from home is fine but sometimes I lose concentration.
The effects take roughly 30-45 mins once I eat them. I usually eat them with my morning coffee so my stomach is empty. The microdose typically goes away in 5 hours but sometimes I can feel the euphoria all day. However, we eat full grown dried fruits so the doses differ day to day. Sometimes mild, others strong (I use MSS and shred BRF cakes to bulk).
I highly recommend everyone to look into microdosing and make sure to do your own research!
