very similiar in the way they effect the brain? you are COMPLETELY off dude. They aren't even in the same drug class. ecstacy = phenethylamine, shrooms = tryptamine

they both make your brain release massive amounts of serotonin. Is that not the main reason you trip so hard? Or you feel Happy because of it?

one thing to consider is tolerance. but i view this as the wrong reason to take a drug. its like a drunk drinking to forget. but im also guilty of this cause i smoke to relieve stress. but hey to each his own.

Well, in response to your question, I have tried this. Last time I did a grow I would always have them on hand so I would eat one a day, not every day, but sometimes for a period of two or three days at a time. Yeah, it was pretty good actually. I would recommend it, at least trying it. I don't know about the scientific side of it. It made my life more alive.

bad idea, shrooms are a 'once in a while' kind of drug and not to be toyed around with!
you'll also develop tolerance so the small dose that does it once day won't do it the next... seek professional help if you have anxiety or depression issues and do not self medicate! I really advise you to get help, that would be waaay more effective. Did you get diagnosed with having a depression or anxiety? You fortunately probably don't even need medication...

x causes your brain to release serotonin, which can then cause a serotonin depletion. Psilocin works by bonding onto the serotonin receptors. Visit erowid.org for information.

I'd imagine if you take mushrooms everyday you'll start to turn really strange after a while.
I don't think there have been very many studies on what happens when you take them everyday. In fact I don't know of one.

Terrence Mckenna while being answered similar question, said that after a while life quickly evolved into something he couldnt handle. He also said that if you want sure you can try it, but after some time you`ll find very few people you can relate to.
And in my personal opinion, it`s best not to treat mushroom lightly, or like some cure for everything but use em wisely, with respect and in moderation.

i think it would be easier to just take a higher dose and figure out your problems with the mushrooms, maybe they can clear everything up for you so u wouldnt have to take something everyday

Somebody else mentioned Kava as a good way to relieve anxiety/depression, and I'd have to agree. Numerous times Kava has proven to me that it does indeed work for treating anxiety/depression. Is it a incredible change? Not nearly, but, for me, it worked, and I continue to use it on occasion.
But, back to the topic, I would advise against daily dosing. I can't speak from personal experience but from all that I've read, and as mentioned in this thread, I think some respect needs to be shown and the theory of "not something you do everyday" should stand true.
Moderation is key. I think its best not to get on a daily habit of using something like psychedelic mushrooms.
Then again, that's my opinion, and whatever you choose to do I hope it works out for you.

Yea I've heard that segment to.. something like
"if you want to become the shadowy figure atop cold mountain, and this is entirely possible, just eat four grams every other day for 3 to 4 weeks, and by the end of it I guarantee you there will be very few people that you will have anything in common with... YOU will be very happy, though."
ehh... think I'll pass
Oftentimes when i trip I find myself wishing I could just eat mushrooms for breakfast every day, but something in the experience tells me thats not a good idea. Too much of a good thing, you know?
My advice to you is this: Take two weeks of cleansing. To me this means no drugs (including alcohol, caffeine, nicotine). Excersize a bit each day, increasing in duration incrementally. Drink plenty of water, take a multivitamin each night, eat fruits and veggies. Then on the last day of this therapeutic period, eat a good solid dose of shrooms (whatever that means to you.)
Then see how you feel. This procedure has ripped me right out of rough points in my life and placed me back on "the path" or whatever. Give it a go
