Microdosing Schedule Discussion

I've been microdosing every other day, but I've seen a variety of schedules that people use. I don't know if there is much reasoning behind any of these or not, but I struggle to figure out what should be most effective. Any other kind of medication would normally be an everyday thing, so on some level I would expect that to be the best. I can understand the break in between if you're taking full eighth doses or something, since short term tolerance can make it hard to trip again, but I'm not so sure it makes sense with microdosing.
So what do you all do? What have you tried? And if anyone has any more scientific info from studies (if they exist) or anything else relevant, please post.

I don’t think that taking it daily is necessarily better than every other day; if we talk about pharmacodynamic properties of other medications and drugs, it depends on their halflives (life in the blood), knowing that you can dose a medication to mantain its dosage in the blood always the same. I don’t think psilocybin works in that way…

I'm relatively new and have a limited supply as I learn to grow my own so I haven't been able to experiment on dosing differently.
I was introduced to microdosing by a friend. The shrooms, Filljilly's, ground and mixed with honey. I take a dab about 4-5 times a day, totaliing .25g or so a day. last dose is taking a few hours before bed time, it messes with my dreams if I take one too late. 5 days on 2 days off. It has worked really well so far.
I tried the same routine with z strain and it didn't seem to work as well

I personally do once a week or so, but I wouldn't do more than once every 3 days. I feel like one really needs at least a day in-between.

been doing this for 4 months, works great. Once i have a more reliable stock, I will try some different methods, but sticking with this for now.

I support "days of rest". I would much prefer all day every day fun day, munchen till I feel it but the benefits of mood elevation and reduced anxiety are too valuable to risk tolerance. So I take sub perceptual. If I even get the yawns I reduce the next dose. As a former rec user this is counterintuitive but worth it.

I hope when you say "dab" you don't mean you're smoking it. . .

Micro dosing is supposed to be sub-perceptual, but is it really a "day of rest" if there's nothing to rest from? I'm not trying to be difficult, but this is the crux of my confusion.

I usually take probably .05g for 2 days (monday tuesday) break, then either thurs/ fri or fri/ sat if I can feel anything yawny/ nausea then I've done too much and generally have some with breakfast, then some with lunch. it allows me to not question myself, reduces my negative and intrusive thoughts/ confusion interestingly enough I can sense when it wears off as I start to get the shit fm thoughts coming on as it wears off

Be as darn difficult as you dang well please as far as I'm concerned. I call that good mischief as it comes from honest place in search of knowledge.
There are far better studies to read and much more educated theories but my opinion:
I rest because the all day everyday drugs you purchase from established medicine is just that established medicine. I know the industry takes their lumps but all those little pills are tested, controlled and regulated almost to the point of being ineffective. These little guys although magical, natural and safe are still powerful unrefined medicine and in my opinion need to be treated as such.
When taking larger doses it is apparent to me that there are lingering effects that last longer than the "journey". Sometimes a positive attitude or elevated perception or mood control effects are noticeable a day or two just after a therapeutic dose (mini or sub hero). That simply tells me there is still strong mojo at play long after ingesting and not to be triffled with or consistently utilized.

I haven't take any more than a half gram dose in 15 years or so. I don't remember ever noticing lingering effects personally, but I'll have to pay attention if I take a full dose again. I'm kind of nervous about it after so long, though.
