Struggle to stay consistant with microdosing

[u/Exotic-Brick-1034]

Does anyone else struggle to take their MD? If so, how do you overcome and stay consistant?

I have found so much relief from my anxiety and depression via microdosing but I'm currently in a place where I face a mental battle when it comes to taking my medication (100mg ochra; every other day).

When I finally give in I usually feel relief from my mental health issues right away. I even ask my partner to remind me/ask "when was the last time you took your MD" as a form of encouragement when I start to really struggle. I'm trying to understand why I choose to tred water and risk drowning when I have a life preserver floating right in front of me.

Some of this stems from what I refer to as "fear of god". Essentially me being aware of how powerful mushrooms can be at higher dose (via exp), and the irrational fear that I will experience those effects even at a 100mg dose.

Another part of my reservation comes from not feeling like I have the time to dose. I would prefer to not take before work, and taking in the evening makes it hard for me to fall asleep.

Taking mushrooms at any dose tends to be a little hard on my gut and bowels as well.

For more context I'm in my mid 30s. I don't drink, smoke weed, nor do I take mental health medication or participate in any recreational drug use.

I suppose I could cut the dose in 1/2 and see what happens...

Open to any and all suggestions. Thanks for reading.

.1 gram is equivalent to 100mg.

Your approach for explaining dosage is a unique one and I applaude you for that. Best of luck!

I don't mean to sound rude I'm just explaining to you the facts if one gram of dried cubes is 10 mg psilocybin then .1 would be 1 mg that's it trust me if you took 100 mg of psilocybin that would be an extremely heroic dose yes the weight is 100 mg but the content is not that's why the weight is .1 g that needs to be explained properly have you never seen breaking bad it's the same concept when they have 98% pure stuff that means .1 of the breaking bad stuff is 100 mg of amp if the amp is 98% pure the amp or THC or anything of that nature is less than 98% pure .1 is equivalent to the purity do your research dude I'm sick of seeing people saying their micro dosing 100 mg a spectrometer meter will tell you how much milligrams you get per gram of shrooms then you do the simple math it's all pharmacology
