I have mild to medium symptoms of depression and i thought why not try shrooms. I've tried multiple times 0.1-1.5g and now about couple of month later i feel so shit i just cant ignore it. It literally feels same as after mdma what i'll never forget when i tried it 10y ago. It didnt happen every single time atleast this strong but it might have something to do with pauses between and dosage.
I googled it and im not alone. During effect im good but it starts while come down. Dont know if being sensitive has something to do with it but it definitely Blasts my serotonine, precursor or something reserves to zero. I dont know. Whats happening?
Last time was only 0.1g, 2days ago. Maybe this just isnt for my brains. However it gets better after some time.

My wife can be considered to be in a very similar situation. I will def say you are prob blasting/depleting your serotonin. Big problem for battling chronic depression.
The only thing I will say, and this is not professional or dosage advice; is don't mini dose. Don't consistently dose. More time in between. And I really truly believe this last part and have had good luck with my wife doing the same, Dose higher. If you haven't had issues and feel comfortable with the mushrooms. Go in. Hit you 2g or higher on your range than the low to medium range doses. If you are taking to help with chronic depression, my (limited experience), is you have to actually "reset". It takes a stronger dose to do this. Even for myself, without any use case, I need to make sure I get a large enough dose to reset and get back to "vacation, peace, clear mind"-whatever you wanna call it. I hope the absolute best for you. I know it is difficult living with and trying to find a way to safely treat these things we are tasked with in life. Life is beautiful I hope you find a better path to feeling it

This is not dosage advice but rather a recount of my personal experience.
I have experimented with different doses of .1 to .3 every second to fourth day for consistent periods and found that as the dosing went on I found that depressive effects of life would get more intense.
I have found that larger and less frequent doses keep my overall mental health and well-being in check much better. I now dose 3g to 5g every 6 to 12 months. I kind of just get a feel for when I need to hit the reset button.
If something is making you feel worse, I recommend that you don't persist with it.

Thanks bro. You are propably right. It might help to trip once good and reset. However even the slightest amount 0.1 feels so hard to me that no way anxious panicky person for past 30years (me personally, not everyone) can go full throttle.
That higher amount was when i tried with klonopin to ease up and it blocked the effects so i carefully redosed more to find working dose. It was my first time ever i really could say i tripped. I was scared, euphoric, laughed my ass off and all i dared to do is watch music videos and play apex. I thought everyrhing else was too scary to watch or do. But it made me empathetic and removed my angriness.
Anyway comedown made me depressed more.
And couple day later that 0.1 made me terrible even worse, anxious and having derealisation and depersonalisation which is nearly a week ago and now im getting better. However depersonalisation is also symptom of anxiety, not only side effect of drugs. But it made me scared anyway.
Well, if and when i still try, i'll have long enough break and after that i'll see whats happening.
Any case interesting to read your thoughts and ideas or experiences.
If someone knows how psilocin works in brains im interested since it shouldnt blast it like mdma does to serotonin.

Update. I dont know what happened. I havent had ever, not once anymore those after depression feelings. I havent microdose either but once in a while 0.5-1.5g depending if im doing something or just be still and watch some relaxing nature stuff or listening relaxing music. This is a huge win compared to have shit feeling every time after. I havent gone crazy dose but atleast now i got peace of mind and time and i can do this whenever i see its a good idea.
This is a good start.

Psilocybin definitely works on your serotonin receptors, just not the same way as mdma and you most definitely can still drain yourself on it. There are quite a few different receptors that all do different things and your "depression" may be cause by excess or shortage on for example, 3 receptors and mushrooms affects 2 of those 3 and another different one. There isn't really a way to know for sure and this is part of the reason most people with "depression" have to cycle different drugs to find the one that fits. You can't just scan your brain to see exactly which way your chemistry is screwy.
Also, Klonopin is a CNS depressant. That can definitely make depression worse.
Glad to hear you are making some head way.
