NGL, it's been an absolute game-changer for my wife's depression.
I was able to get off my depression meds afterwards. It's been 8 years.
Can you tell us a bit more about your experience? Like how you felt before, your experience with the mushrooms, and how you feel now? I have been struggling with depression and ADHD forever and I feel like I've tried everything.
As someone who’s spent years on and off meds, I find a yearly dose of shrooms does the brain good. For me it mostly reminds me that the universe is waaaaaay larger than myself so all the anxiety and doom-and-gloom depression I get is just fucking pointless. I can enjoy the flowers a little more, or any of the small things in life because it just…. Doesn’t fucking matter.
I tried this two times now, but with no luck. I was off any medication for months before the second try because I'd read that ssris can prevent the effects of mushrooms, so now I worry the effect of SSRIs may be permanent because I felt absolutely no effect besides a little nausea. Was that not a factor for your wife?
Yeah, I guess it's hard to know because they are variable, but others took the same or less and had a more interesting time. 4 or 5 mushed up little mushrooms in a tea.
Idk if the mushrooms are stronger now (the cannabis sure is), but in high school a commonly-suggested dose was 2-4 grams, even up to 7 grams if one is 'not feeling it' sufficiently :)
Thanks, I'll be more scientific in the future
Good to know. Guess I'll keep trying.
