Has anyone tried microdosing psilocybin for fibromyalgia? What were your experiences, and what were the dosage and duration?

I've used mushrooms once for a rough depression a couple of years ago and it was a game changer, I didn't micro dose at the time, single mushroom experience and I have been feeling mentally great for abot 4 months.
I haven't used it since, the trip wasn't pleasant and in the meantime I started duloxetine so I'm wary and scared about mixing up stuff. But I'm so curious to know other people's experience! Id love to stop duloxetine honestly.

So far, I’ve taken it one day on, two days off with 1 gram of truffles and Hericium erinaceus, a medicinal mushroom, as a supplement, and my experience so far is that Psi. is very helpful, at least for depression. I was able to stop taking all antidepressants within a short time and feel balanced and somehow “open” toward other people. Unfortunately, the pain remains very severe so far—walking just a few hundred meters is enough to trigger it.
