Microdose Amount 1

Hi All
Just curious to find out what people take as their MD.
I have been on 0.1mg for 3 weeks (1 day on 2 days off) and im not sure if the effects im getting are enough.
Im a 6ft 2 - 280lb (20st) man and read a that 0.1mg might not be enough. Too Low ?
Im anxious about upping the MD and going beyond what is right. I also don't know what im expecting to feel with only the 0.1gm.
I suffer with social and situation anxiety and have done for a few years, Since I started MD I would sometimes suffer for days from certain things that trigger me off, but now although the same things trigger me it seems to last only a few hours (which is a massive improvement). I also suffer with night time anxiety and from 6pm ish each day I start to change (worse durning the darker months) - this make more anxious and that leads to lack of sleep which in turn is leaving me wrecked.
Im hoping that if I know what to expect I can tamper with the dosage and get to a point where my overall quality of life is improved.
Any help would be greatly received.
Thanks

0.35g is my preference after lots of experimenting with my dose.
I need to feel a microdose in order to receive any lasting benefits. So, a lower dose does nothing for me. And a higher dose is too distracting when attempting to function normally.

I’m 6ft and 240. I take 250mg for a microdose and that seems about right for me. If I have an empty stomach, then I will feel the effects , so depending on what is going in that day I will eat something first. You might want to try that amount or a bit higher and go from there.

I know this might sound strange to ask but - how do you know that’s the right dose - what do you experience, how does it make you feel.
I only ask I’m interested in what I’m looking for once I get my dose right.
Hope that makes sense
Thanks

A 0.35g dose results in significant reduction in anxiety and depression for me. Also provides contentment and motivation. But it’s subjective and this is just my individual experience.
I expect to feel a bit lightheaded for a couple hours following a microdose. Some yawning and runny nose may occur. I’ll feel the desire to close my eyes and breathe deeply. Because of all this, I’ll microdose first thing in the morning or during an off day so that there are fewer of life’s distractions coming at me during the experience.

Every 3rd day. Haven't added any supplements to my microdose routine. But Lion's Mane would surely be beneficial.

As long as I eat with it, I do not get any kind of high but I do feel more calm throughout the day, more energetic, and not triggered as much by day to day life activities. It also helps me to be more engaged with the people in my life. I take it with 800 mg lions mane that I combine in capsules ahead of time.
I tried lower doses of the psilocybin with the same lions mane and it didn’t seem to effect me in any way.
Sure, it could be all placebo as some will say, but there’s nothing wrong with that if it is working.

I’ve tried microdosing before and never really feel much of anything… I get a slight placebo, but I could take deep breaths and get the same effect… I find me personally does better with just taking big trips occasionally then taking breaks… that’s just me though.

I start at .3 3 times as day, work too .5... .5 is a very cherry place for me. I could live like that forever and never need anything else.

The following is opinion only, formed from multiple source research and personal experience and should not substitute individual studies used with professional mental health care.
My understanding is you don't want to "feel" anything from micro dose regiment. It is a long term, no immediate gratification process. If even mood elevation is perceived than the does is on the macro side, not a problem but acceptance is important to understanding.
@ 6'1" 230lbs, laborer type build, barrelchested, no blocking meds taken (seriously look interactions up, it is very real) I have 3 doses, micro 0.15-0.2 GT = sub perceptual, macro 1.5-2g GT = mood elevation, and Hero that I haven't explored in years and would have to test out to find range. If you regularly have a day to loose you can Hero out once or every other month. If you regularly have an evening to yourself a macro once a week will keep me truckin'. If you are wanting positive lingering effects without getting high or feeling stimulated you micro dose but the effects are similar to a successful antidepressant regiment where it takes a couple if not several months of proper usage.
I was instructed in antidepressant land the "levels have to build" and be sustained but really for me it seems like spontaneous positive thoughts are the only way to more positive thoughts. It takes a long time for the first ones to break a pathway open to more. Often solutions are behavior based chemically assisted processes. I never got relief from antidepressants and benzos bozos, after years they told me my muted attitude was the path to health but it was not for me. I have friends who traditional meds help. "Take all your meds as prescribed, your Docs are trying to help you at all times". I can't say I've made the leap telling my traditional drs my successful treatment plan but the positive effects were mentioned unprompted by cardio and general care, my holistic MD has retired, I miss her.

The levels building thing is more you in general getting used to the effects mental and physical also too allow for tolerance too lvl out.
I've taken my .5's for 6 mo too 1 year spans. I feel the same at day one as at end of my supply. I have never seen a tolerance build up. now can it be a lil much for your senses yes but that's normally a day of getting use too it again. Everyone is different as too the dosage needed. I am able too shut down the violent imagines in my head at .5 and not have a care in the world besides what really matters in life.
My brain is like the other dimension in the movie Event Horizon, so .5 x3 a day mushrooms are a blessing.
