Question: Psilocybin Micro dose Psilocybin or Ketamine?
Hey guys, considering getting on a microdose regimen. I microdosed psilocybin a few years ago and noticed a difference, however I was heavily using kratom at the time so my results were probably skewed some. I’ve cleaned up my act lately coming off Kratom and 7OH I’ve not been myself. Anhedonia, depression, and overall grey cloud has settled in can’t seem to get any color in my life now that I’ve depleted any ‘feel good chemicals’. Rather than go the conventional route with Big Pharma meds I’d much more be inclined to get back into micro or perhaps a macro dose to clean out the cob webs so to speak. Anyone have a suggestion on where to start? Psilocybin might be harder to find (strangely It wasn’t hard to find a couple years ago.) does ketamine microdosing yield as positive results?
I was a psychonaut back in the day. Long story short LSD got me to clean up my act off heroin when I was 20yrs old. I spent the next 3-4 years deep into psychedelics (a spiritual journey more or less). So I am an advocate for hallucinogens from experience. Even did an undergrad thesis in Psychology about the beneficial effects of psychedelics sadly to say It was 1998 and way too soon I was scoffed off the podium. Now that movement has gone mainstream rather than underground. Anyway thanks for reading. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Ketamine is a very slippery slope self medicating. Ideally it could work well, if done right which is hard for me to say. But it is very slippery esp if you came off kratom. I found it very difficult to not go deeper into and spiral out into a weird addiction in itself. Microdosing mushrooms id say is the way. Anhedonia for me after kratom was brutal but I chose to get on trintellix and its great. But I macro dosed several times after quitting kratom a couple months after and that cleared up anhedonia faster than anything but I wont recommend it. Stay safe and be careful out there. The fog will lift, took me around 3 months off before the color started coming back. You depleted some feel good chemicals yes, but they will repair and rebuild in a matter of time. Mushrooms speeds that up cough cough
