Ideal Microdosage Regime

Hello all:
I'm a long time lurker on here - lots of great wisdom and knowledge - but this is my first post.
My question concerns the ideal psilocybin/mushroom micro-dose? Should a micro-dose be taken on alternating days, or perhaps one could also cycle in a "low-dose" once per week, or every other week.
So far I've reviewed the medical research and anecdotal evidence, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a general consensus regarding an "optimal" micro-dosing "schedule." (time/frequency and dosage)
Thanks to all.

Personally I have been micro-dosing for the last 14 months 0.3 every other day. It has helped tremendously with my anxiety and depression. I started after ending 14 years of HEAVY alcohol abuse.
From what I remember reading anything over 0.3g is not considered a micro-dose.
As for frequency I have not heard of many people dosing every other week, usually its at least once a week.
Everyone has different brain chemistry so its best to experiment with your dosage and frequency to find the sweet spot for you. Also your dosage/frequency might change over time based on how you fee.

I personally believe in every 4-6 hrs micro dosing 3x a day like a real medication. But I'm pretty fucked up in the head, only time I feel like a normal person is on shrooms.

I read a paper somewhere that said less than 0.3 gr every 3 days. I think it was by a doctor who is studying the effects of microdosing. I tried that regimen last fall and at first I didn’t notice anything. Then about 2 weeks in, I suddenly noticed things that had been bothering me before, weren’t bothering me anymore. I powdered up about an eighth of an ounce in a small food processor and put the powder into #2 sized gelatin capsules. That is about 160 mg/capsule. I ran out after a couple months and seemed that lately, I am back into my funk. Started to try growing about 6 weeks ago and I have had a small flush finish up and started back Microdosing a few days ago. Good luck and hopefully it helps.

The schedule you take microdoses depends from person to person. I've tried many different schedules over the course of two years. But I found the Stamets method, four days on (Thursday - Sunday) & three days off (Monday - Wednesday) works best for me. Do it for two months & then take a month off.

.25 every morning in a coffee, the perfect microdose.

Hello,
I'm on the Fadiman schedule and it worked for me. You have to start somewhere (Fadiman or Stamets) then adjust it in a way that works for you. For me, little to no adjustment was needed.
I hope you get to where you want to be. Remember these things take time, patience and introspection. It's not a silver bullet, by any means. I ended up buying Fadiman's book "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide" and it allowed me to better understand and interpret my trips and general emotions. I dont begrudge a since cent I spent on that book.
Cheers. Gloorp.
