Been 3 days since my last shroom, still feel like I am tripping. Help?
#28661046 - 02/15/24 04:43 PM (4 months, 7 days ago) |

Hello. I have taken shrooms on and off for over a year now (usually just 1.5-3g at a time), but recently, due to chronic pain / trying to quit an addiction, I decided to microdose almost every day for about 2 weeks. Roughly 45g over this period. (with a few days rest inbetween.)
I stopped on monday, and it is now Thursday, and I still feel the experience quite intensely. I feel alot of pressure on my pineal gland, and I consistently have profound and deep thoughts, reading deeply into graffiti wall art and music on my playlist, and have to root myself back in my surrounding and body.
I am rolling with the punches, but I also read mushrooms can trigger psychosis. And it also kinda reads like what I'm going through.
I'm kinda oscillating between calm and joy and a low-tide panic right now. Would really appreciate anyone's thoughts and inputs, especially if you have alot of experience with shrooms. I can provide more information if you'd like.
I am wondering if this experience will pass and fade in time, or if I overdid it and triggered some sort of psychosis and should seek help.

45g in 14 days is not microdosing.

Sounds like there are some enjoyable aspects to this! Maybe let yourself relax a bit, let go of your worries, put shrooms aside for a while but otherwise: "trust the process." Everything will be okay. Work with your Mind. It can be your friend or your enemy, so make it your friend, have some fun.
Your post is very coherent and intelligible, so I don't think you're psychotic.

Thanks BlueCthulu, should've done my research beforehand. I'll just go with the flow with this one and see where it leads.

It should pass. Most 'I still feel like I'm tripping', episodes fade within a few days. You took a lot, so it may take longer. But it should pass.
There is very rare phenomena called HPPD. But it's almost always tied to terrifying experiences.
If you want to look at microdosing there's a subforum with some good information.

When going pretty hard at it like you have it usually takes a week or two to hit baseline again.
Don't worry, seriously, that's the worst thing you can do. Just trust in the process. No one stays up forever, you will normalise again soon.
Every day will be a little bit more normal until you forget that you were different before.

There was a video posted in the microdose etc. forum that goes into great detail about this being true.
Unless you had a terrifying experience or psychosis (which in my experience was connected to a terrifying experience), you should level out in a couple of weeks.

I’d just like to highlight that nobody can “feel” their pineal gland…. And your pineal gland likely doesn’t have much to do with tripping. It’s misinformed people online that spread that kind of nonsense.
I hope you feel better soon

WHat about the pituitary gland? I'm pretty sure I've felt that one. Feels like a pea.

You can feel attention itself anyplace you put it.
But that doesn't mean you're feeling the gland.
Tumors in that gland for example, are felt as ear pain and stuff like that.

IDK, what if every organ and gland has its own vibration or timbres of frequencies? Shouldn't be too hard to tune into them and "feel" them.

Hang in there. We’ve all been there. That is 45g wet or dried? What are you addicted to? What meds are you on?
Get back to basics. Drink water only, eat healthy, go vegan, take a multivitamin, stop all caffeine, salt, and sugar, sleep a lot, set a sleep schedule, get sunshine, see nature, hear nature, see water, hear water, meditate, do breathing exercises, exercise, ask friends or family for help, see a doctor, see a therapist, call a hotline, stop all drugs and alcohol, take your prescribed meds, etc.
If you improve try to get a job, go to school, clean your room, clean your house, clean your car, get a pet, get a plant, join a 12 step group, read self help books, etc.
Be well. Be safe.

You can be aware of anything with attention (mindfulness).
I feel my adrenal glands for instance. But in the heart mostly as it has the receptors to feel it. But I can't feel it the way I feel my forehead. Which I think is where a lot of people place attention when they think of the pituitary gland.
Blood pressure changes are a way people can actually feel the pituitary gland. That's one way this gland resonates with the rest of your body.
Edit: We got mixed up (pituitary and peneal). So replace feeling tired with blood pressure. Melatonin is a hormone that the pineal releases.

A very close friend of mine ate a massive dose of acid not too long ago and was experiencing some pretty heavy derealization, like not even sure if people and or objects around her were real. I said exactly these same words to her several times over a couple of weeks, and sure enough in less than a month she'd forgotten about it.
It's just how it rolls.

I did have severe psychosis in my early twenties that fucked me up for over a decade. But I'm genetically predispositioned to hearing voices and had an amphetamine psychosis episode previously.
Set and setting was a major factor too. Dropping acid at a party when most everyone was young and drunk. Not a great vibe for an acid trip. And terrible integration.
I was functional during that time but had a lot of trouble holding jobs and making new friends.
Eventually I untied that knot with therapy and more psychedelics.
