Severely intoxicated from taking shrooms

Ok,
So I just took what I thought was slightly more than a normal dose. I've been taking about 3 grams per dose. I took maybe 5 grams max(it was a different kind than my other trips). I was so high I could barely stand. All I could really do was lay down. It was way more than I could handle. I was almost out of my mind. What could have happened? Usually a trip lasts maybe 3-4 hours and it's generally pretty mild. I was still fucked out of my mind after about 6 hours.
I'm just trying shrooms to see if they help with depression. I don't like feeling intoxicated.

1. if you eat mushrooms, give up control 2. it isn't an antidepressant
You can learn from these experiences. You can't really predict how much magic is in there...even within the same harvest.

at lower doses it really is an excellent anti depressant, but at higher doses, the fun layering and altered time sense interfere with the neurology of standing, walking, talking and doing normal things.
it really is an intoxicating experience if you take more than just enough to enhance experience, which is already more than a microdose that barely feels in anyway different, except for a bit more general awareness and appreciation of the world.
it's all good, but complete intoxication interferes with life's schedule as much as dental surgery but without the oral pain (usually).

Also, investing in a scale is a wise thing to do.

Thresholds. You reached a dose treshold to expereince a greater range of side-effects.
Psychedelic dosing is tricky since they have a series of plateuas - doses where it doesn't feel like anything, versus doses that start to be extremely uncomfortable.
You are too inexperienced in high doses to proceed further, and you might want to even stop going up to 3 grams after this experience, and focus on basic enhancement of experience as redgreenvines suggested.

You mentioned it was a different kind. potent varies, with some strains much stronger than others potency can vary within a single grow as well. you got some strong ones. That being said, 5 gms is a hefty dose and your experience sounds like a typical 5 gm dose. Anything over 3 gms and I am in the dark, under a blanket.

If you take enough you'll completely lose control over your mind, and you won't even be able to see through the hallucinations, let alone walk or talk. You won't even be able to think.
The effects are somewhat random. Sometimes they can provide immense relief from depression, other times not. It's a gamble. Sadly it's not a magic silver bullet for curing depression, but it can be a viable treatment.
Dose increases the possibility and strength of positive outcomes, but also negative outcomes. Both are possible, as well as neutral outcomes. Don't do them too often, it's not the kind of thing you should take all the time if you're trying to treat your depression. RR used to advice taking them once a year at a high dose, and that's a pretty good idea overall.
If you feel like they're not helping, then you should stop taking them, there's no shame in stopping if they're not helping.

"took lots of psychoactive mushrooms, why am I feeling so high and out of my mind?? what happened?!!" -bloodyhell, 2023, 100% accurate quote

I say this because I love you man, but it sounds like they worked as described?? This isn't rocket science and it doesn't have to be complicated. Take more if you like it, take less if you want to, don't take any if it's just not your thing! I'd advise sticking with it though.
From my own experience, I will say that tripping at a "moderate" intensity every month or so has helped tremendously with depression, both for me and a good friend. But what a "moderate" intensity is can only be answered by you, and gathering that data takes time, and isn't always pleasant. So, please don't give up too soon.

I don't think it's wise to almost double the dose. If you handle 60cl of vodka and function well, 100cl could fuck you up and make you black out. If 3 grams gives you a good trip but you feel like going higher make it 3.2 grams next, then 3.4 grams. Sorry about you bad experience, and remember that next time you could freak out on 3 grams because of the recent bad trip.

Seems normal to me. 5g is known as the heroic dose. You can feel stuck in purgatory with no time, disassociate from your body or surroundings, lose control of thoughts or ability to focus on one thought, have impaired cognition, panic, etc. Terrance McKenna always claimed he heard the voice of the mushroom speaking to him. I never really had auditory hallucinations.
