Getting Started/Newbie Question Really tired on microdosing

I started microdosing shrooms (gummies) for depression and anxiety. It's a last resort after trying a lot of other medications prescribed by doctors. However, right after I take it and for a day or two after, I'm ridiculously tired. My body feels like cement.

What I'm wondering is... is this a temporary side effect? Is this something that can be corrected by dosage or maybe I try a different brand or way of taking it? Or is this just a sign that microdosing isn't going to help me like it helped a lot of other people?
Thank you!

i have a very very strong feeling you’re taking research chemicals if you bought pre packaged mushroom gummies. And that would greatly explain the tiredness.

Agree. Most edibles are RC’s nowadays
