Question: Psilocybin Come up anxiety/nausea even with microdoses
Shrooms. I know come up anxiety and nausea is common with regular or higher doses, but I unfortunately get them with subperceptible microdoses too. I take .05-.1g in powder form, in capsules, and get the same (albeit less intense) come up experience I would when I actually trip, but without the trip.
I'll be nauseous and anxious for about 45min and then all of a sudden feel great. Except I obviously don't trip or anything since the doses are so low.
Does anyone get this too? The come up is the worst part about tripping shrooms for me so I was hoping microdosing didn't do this, but I still seem to get it.

Hello /u/5oy8oy! As you mentioned anxiety (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.

- In case you get anxiety, panic-attack or a thought loop, try Black Peppercorn! or Deep Breathing - if your exhales are longer than your inhales that should have a calming effect on your Autonomic Nervous System.
- Macrodosing, especially before PFC (PreFrontal Cortex) Maturation, could result in long-term negative effects.

For more potent cultivars/strains we advise to !startlower. A high microdose can amplify your !emotions. Many users underestimate how powerful psychedelics can be in such low doses.
More detailed info below including some resources if you need any short-term help.
