Any experienced psilocybin microdosers for general advice? (lemmy.ca)

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 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.
