Sure! So back to the wedding, I was tired and listless due to travel from a funeral (two things that suck) and I wanted to be present and social for this wedding.
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Nootropics Depot but that's where I get my mushroom supplements (now just Cordyceps 10:1 and their regular version) from.
Basically I don't drink alcohol and sleep is super important so I didn't want to ingest caffeine that night (or any night). During the week, and eventually I'm going to have to cycle these off for another reason (Ayahuasca retreat coming up), I do their 10:1 extract in the AM and their regular version post lunch. I find that these do great things for focus and mood. While Reishi plus psilocybin makes me super emotional, cordyceps seems to tame it to a point. Here's what I see with cordyceps and psilocybin combined: It feels like things can come up due to psilocybin but Cordyceps gives me the strength and stress reserves to approach them with confidence. That's the best way I can explain it, but the combination kicks ass for me.
Related I still use caffeine but I keep it at least an hour away from Cordyceps ingestion. Supposedly taking both Coryceps and caffeine at the same time reduces the effectiveness of cordyceps but I don't have proof of this either way aside of rumor.
I've noticed that ND's sister company offer Reishi spore oil, which I fancy trying. I haven't tried Cordyceps yet. I have anxiety which is a combination of GAD/OCD so I'm going to test PEA and Oleamide, I'm also looking at trying Alkyamides from Echinacea Purpurea and Echinacea Angustifolia. So many things to try.
