I wrote the research team and have skimmed the article. Dose regimen was 0.05mg/kg every other day. This would be about 0.25mg in an adult female human. Or about 0.25g of moderate potency cubensis. Half that or less of strong cubensis (PE/APE/etc).

    Did you get the “zaps” as I like to call them? I’ve gone through those as well. Turning your head and feeling a weird electric shock in the brain. So much fun.

    This thread is making me realize how jacked up I am.

      Yup. Was on venlafaxine and then duloxotine. Had to switch to Prozac and taper that.

      It sucked.

        Well, rest assured, nothing like that with shrooms.

        Follow-up question: Has she considered or has she done a heroic dose as opposed to micro-dosing? You could be her ‘sitter’ while she does one. I find such an experience has vastly impactful benefits compared to micro-dosing. Plus side is you only need to do it once. You wake up ‘reset’ if that makes sense. My life was completely changed for the better from a single heroic dose.

          I have sat her a few times. Not a heroic dose yet but an eighth on three separate occasions.

          She’s a bit hard to get to disengage. So she misses a lot of the experience talking etc. Plus she’s on Suboxone which I think might be coloring the experience. But we went for a walk in a nature preserve last time so at least I got her out in nature.

          I’ve taken heroic doses a number of times. The first time definitely changed my perspective on life in a major way. I think it can be beneficial for people and could be beneficial for her. Just need to find the space and time to do it.
