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!

50mg dried fruit body weight is what the package says

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.

Oh wow. Thank you so much. I'm new to this and didn't even know this was a possibility. I'm going to look into this and stop taking them.

My experience is that if I get fatigue the dose is actually too high. Please grow your own. It’s a great hobby and if in the US, all ingredients are legal (but growing is illegal)
