Over months or even years, regular microdosing can bring about transformative shifts in your emotional and psychological landscapes.
Prolonged use helps emotions to grow wings, taking them on an exciting journey of highs and lows with you holding the reins, feeling more than ever before.
This could be considered the latent gift left behind by the mushrooms, similar to how a teacher brings out the hidden potential in a student.
Regularly schedule month-long or longer breaks from microdosing.
When answering the question "How long does microdosing last?" it is worth mentioning...
A word of caution…
Microdosing magic mushrooms is not always rainbows and unicorns. As stated above, one feels the highs higher, and the lows lower.
Why would I want to feel the low, less desirable emotions like sadness, despair, loneliness, depression, MORE intensely, you ask?!?
Keep in mind this is the mushrooms working FOR YOU.
The less desirable emotions we experience are your body's way of signaling what needs to be addressed with gentleness, compassion, and care.
For example, at the time of this article, I am currently grieving in my own life.
I’ve noticed with the last 3 microdoses, I’m super low energy, depressed-feeling and not motivated to do much else other than rest, contrary to how I'm feeling without a microdose.
In this case, and always with a microdose, I:
This isn’t always how I feel on a microdose.
Sometimes I feel very creative, in the zone, full of joy and happiness, or something else completely different.
As humans, we often let our egos shield us from our true feelings and experiences.
Mushrooms have a gentle way of peeling back this mask and lowering our defenses, offering us a crystal clear perspective on what needs our attention and nurturing.
One of the most profound aspects that mushroom enthusiasts share is the intriguing sensation of feeling more in sync with the universe.
Imagine the blaring white noise of life softened to a gentle whisper, leaving behind a sense of unity and attachment to every living entity.
Knowing this, what should you expect while microdosing mushrooms?
A good rule of thumb is to expect the unexpected.
Each person’s experience is unique and the results are rarely predictable.
The sentiment is, often, that the mushrooms take you where you need to go, not necessarily where you want to go.
However, one consistently reported outcome of microdosing mushrooms is a heightened sense of awareness.
This could amplify your current emotions or guide you towards a reflection of your inner secrets, those typically relegated to the subconscious corners of your mind.
Microdosing can induce a sense of harmony within oneself that is otherwise elusive.
It's almost like achieving the perfect balance or union within your body, mind, and spirit. Imagine a symphony of tranquility, all thanks to the humble mushroom.
Despite the plethora of benefits, one must remember that while microdosing mushrooms may potentially offer substantial therapeutic benefits, it still remains largely unregulated and can carry certain risks.
Even though side effects and medication interactions are rare at any dose of psilocybin, especially a microdose, it still demands careful contemplation.
I would also exercise caution when mixing SSRI antidepressants and microdoses of psilocybin because they both affect the serotonin system in the brain. While an adverse reaction combining SSRIs with a microdose isn’t likely according to Fadiman’s site, these kinds of antidepressants can lessen the effects of full-dose psychedelics and will likely do the same with microdoses.
