Lasting negative effects (lightheadedness, sluggishness) several days after trip

Last Saturday I took 3.5g of golden teachers, along with 2 capsules of SoulCybin Ceremonial Blend (which contains syrian rue as well as a small amount of psilocybin mushroom extract). It was an intense and grueling trip, which enabled me to deal with past trauma and taught me all about unconditional love! (I'll write about that later). However, I've felt all "out-of-sorts" in the days following (including today).
Basically, I've been feeling lightheaded, sluggish, and somewhat emotionally numb, It's hard for me to think as clearly as I would like, and I feel not "all the way there" or "wholly alive" (if that makes any sense). It's hard for me to muster energy to do physically or intellectually demanding tasks, I feel somewhat dissociated, I've lost my sex drive, and I occasionally experience abdominal pain and IBS-type symptoms (particularly after drinking coffee). In fact, I feel more sensitized to caffeine overall.
Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced such post-trip blues that last several days? And if so, how did you recover from it and get your life back?

just as it is nearly impossible to describe why the trip was grueling and intense in detail, it is not clear how to speculate the schedule on your re-integration.
Also unless you are south of the equator, right now pollens and mold spores are very high - and allergies can drag you down.
I suggest you write in your diary all that you can remember about your insights and see where that takes you - like looking at the good parts to go in that direction, as you know, if you dwell on crummy stuff, you become an expert in the crumbs.

Hey brother, I do shamanic work and I took someone on a journey back on new years, and she was pretty drained/tired for about 2 weeks afterward.
I used 7 grams of dark-roasted rue seeds & 7 grams of golden teachers. Her journey was very intense and she exerted a lot of energy for about 3-4 hours straight.
As you say, it was a grueling trip for you, so I would just say that you exerted an otherworldly amount of vital and/or physical energy and now your body needs rest to get back to homeostasis.
Caffeine is very hard on our bodies actually and it doesn't allow us to truly get deep restorative rest, so I would listen to that sensitivity and stop the caffeine for a while.
Be patient with yourself man.
-------------------- Mush love.
