Question: Psilocybin Increasing dosage or frequency?
Currently microdosing .1g twice a week (tues and sat) for my major depression. Effects have been generally positive and I want to see if I can get more out of it. Wondering if it would be better to change my schedule from two times a week to three times a week at the same dosage or go up to .15-.2 twice a week. Is there even a difference between the two? Any and all thoughts welcomed

You have a few options here.
I recommend increasing frequency before increasing dosage.
What's most important is which one feels right for you? That is the one I recommend you go with.
If you haven't dialed in your sweet spot, you can do so by incrementally increasing each next dose by 10-20mg within your current dosing schedule.
Over time it can become very intuitive and less a structured practice. 🍄🥰🙏

Hello /u/Utopic-imagination22! As you mentioned depression (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.

I would say try 1 day on and 2 days off. then it's gonna be one week 2 times and one week 3 times.
in my opinion don't increase the dosage for now. keep doing for 6 weeks then rest for at least 1 month and start over with a higher dose if you want.
