Today I took my first 100mg capsule of psilocybin, two hours ago, and all I feel is probably some light headedness, no noticeable difference in mood. Should I do 200mg tomorrow or just stick with 100mg? I’m supposed to take for 4 days, and three days off.
Microdosing, to me, means microdosing. Not low dosing.
If you want it to stay effective, and not build tolerance, and whatever other skewed bio-homeostasis effects, I suggest go down to single figure mg, or, even as the name suggests, into micrograms range. Try 100x-1000x less. Maybe try a break for months to reset to make microdosing effective again.
Can boost wellbeing/parasympathetic/braingrowth/healing effects with adaptogens (like ashvagandha) and other neurogens (like lion’s mane mushroom/mycelia), and cannabinoids (like max dose CBD, 1200mg), and vitamins (whatever you’re missing, fat soluble, B, C, etc) and magnesium (glycinate). This will keep it working good, better, for longer.
It depends really what you want out of it. Also, yes your tolerance increases pretty rapidly. I recently took a 250mg dose and didn’t feel it. An hour later I took another, and ended up with some slight euphoria and visual effects. You can always take more, but you can never go back and take less!
Looking to have an uplifted mood, motivation, less anxiety, not a psychedelic trip.
like others have said, it’s up to your tolerance levels and your body’s ability to metabolize it. i’ve had good luck w moderate-to-high doses, once a month at the most, for the last decade or so.
I understand. I can’t do tripping anymore myself. I do think a lot of microdosing is basically placebo. As everyone is different, you will kind of have to experiment with what works for you (which you’re already doing!). That said, I’m really not surprised that 100mg didn’t do anything for you.
I did 200mg today, still nothing. Tomorrow I’ll decide whether I take 300 or 400.
