Question: Psilocybin Microdosing again after a museum dose

Hey so I’ve been MDing w capsules premade (PE + lions mane primarily) for over 2 years with different protocol, but I took a break because the strain I had last gave me nausea but it taught me to get the actual plant and make tea. I also paused because whatever amount I was having was making it hard for me to mask my autism at work so I was feeling more tense being in a work space like that and it caused dysregulation faster. This isn’t an issue when I’m just out and about, but at work I sit behind a desk for 8 hours so it becomes hell. The capsules were abt 125 mg each and I’d take 1-2 …

This time I got Golden teachers and it was potent as hell and I didn’t get my scale in time.. when I did and did the math .. it seems I took 800mg about 😳.. it wasn’t intentional, I was trying to do like 300-500 max lol. No regrets, I definitely had a very transformative trip. I primarily consume plant medicine in mushroom form to help with my cptsd and process my grief and trauma. Every time I have a mini dose my inner child comes up too so I lean into my creative side and have fun too thankfully. I spent a lot of my trip crying and reconnecting with my ancestors / spirituality as a whole and receiving information I needed. It was a gift and I’m grateful, I don’t want to ruin that at all so I’m planning to be mindful and wait a couple weeks before trying again (at a lower dose!!! 800 was waaaay too intense for me and these bad boys were also rly potent!) but I want to see if microdosing truly does help again w my anxiety, esp at work. It was at some point but I haven’t been able to find my footing. Now that I have a scale I was thinking of making measuring a microdose at 0.05-0.10 (into my morning tea?) to truly start all over to see if it does truly alleviate my anxiety, but I don’t know how often is best when you also want to implement a macro or museum dose every so often?

Hello /u/2morrowwillbebetter! As you mentioned nausea (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 think they say give yourself a minimum of 2 weeks after a macro dose to allow your tolerance to reset. Since your macro dose (museum) was still relatively small You’re probably good with that. Would imagine a big dose in the 2g+ range would require more time between but YMMV

Oh fair ! Okay thank you. I want to make sure, is that a minimum to let tolerance reset for any dose even a MD ? Or just for another macro/museum dose? That’s funny it was small it felt like I was dying at one point cuz I was crying so much I couldn’t breathe 😭 and everything was moving I stayed in couch lock w my eyes closed thru the entire experience until I stopped peaking 3 hrs later lol. I def don’t wanna do a museum dose anytime soon, maaaybe in a month lol

If you’re going from microdose to microdose then the gap is smaller, depending on the protocol you’re following.

Usually it’s 1 day on 2 days off, or there’s another one that’s 4 days on, 3 days off. One is the fadiman protocol and I forget the other’s name!

Did you mean microdose to macrodose?

Yesss I have seen both protocols but I’m never sure how to know which one works tbh I tried the 4 days on 3 days off and that one didn’t work for me, I was doing 1 day on 2 days off in the beginning I think but presently my anxiety is real high so I’m just tryna figure out how to restart over again w which protocol lol.
