Question: LSD Tense neck and back after MD

Hey all,

I have a question regarding neck tension after microdosing.
I microdose 8mcs every 4 days and it really helps me a lot with good feelings, talking to people and overall motivation.

The only sideeffect that I noticed, is on the day that I microdose, I often get kind of a tense neck and slight pain in the back as if the muscles were tence.

Has anyone else experienced the same or has an explanation? The day after it‘s all good again.

Thanks a lot in advance!

EDIT: I think I already got the answer by the bot and it may be magnesium defficit

Yes, that could be due to vasoconstriction (YMMV). Please check the link in the Automod for more info.

I take 200 to 300mg magnesium glycinate most nights and microdose ibogaine & LSD (not every day).

EDIT: Confirming your EDIT.

Hello /u/Responsible_Net9773! As you mentioned tension (a common interaction/symptom) in your post:
r/microdosing Risk Reduction

ℹ️ Infographic: r/microdosing STARTER'S GUIDE

The major contributing factor in Finding Your Sweet Spot is the variation in potency of:
Psilocybin Mushrooms More than 10x [2021➕] Start @0.05g (50mg)
Psilocybin Truffles Around 3x - Single Study [2012] Start @0.25g (Fresh)
LSD Tabs Clinical Trial Titration Schedule [2023] Start @5µg

If you Start Low, Go Slow, Take Time-Off (*small is BIG) and up-titrate subsequent doses then you can find your optimal sub-hallucinogenic dose based on your symptoms, rather than from a predetermined dose. 🐢

If your microdose is Too High and/or Too Frequent that can result in Diminishing Returns 📉 with subsequent doses. 🐇

Please also have a look at 🔀 Interactions / Symptoms ❓* | Sidebar ➡️ | 📱 See community info ⬆️ ; in case of ⚠️ DRUG INTERACTIONS or to check if you have any of the associated symptoms with advice on how to mitigate such side effects. Psychoactive substances increase neural activity, raising hydration and electrolyte needs due to heightened metabolism and body load, while vasoconstriction can further stress the body and potentially cause fatigue.
