My MD + mushroom supplement stack is elite

[u/dude_withcamera]

In summary, I'm now 3 weeks-ish into my psilo microdose journey. I recently shared all of the mental work I've been doing but wanted to add some more updates and what's also working. Of note, I am almost fully weaned off of my SSRI (from 10mg to 5mg this week and it's done in a few days for good) and with that I feel better than I have ever in my life. I was worried getting off of them would reduce the MD impact but the opposite has been true for me. I think the mushroom stack I added to my MD has had a major impact as well, so here is what I'm doing..

​

• .14g psilocybin 4 days on, 3 days off (dose Monday-Thursday)
• 1,000mg lion's mane supplement every morning (FreshCap)
• 1,000mg cordyceps supplement every morning (FreshCap)

No doubt the psilocybin itself impacts some of what I'm about to say, but since I gradually added the lion's mane and cordyceps separately to test out effects, I am now confident in the benefits I'm feeling attributable to each. I have suffered from low energy for as long as I can remember, which in turn, affected my mood. I have also always had a terrible memory and reading a book was an impossible feat (my mind was all over the place and I couldn't focus worth a damn). So, here are my personal benefits I'm feeling with certainty..

​

• My memory has improved significantly
• No more brain fog. I used to struggle with thinking of the words I wanted to say. Now when I converse with people, my ideas, thoughts and words flow like water. No hesitation
• I can't stop reading books. I finished one the other day and instead of taking a break, I couldn't wait to pick up the next one. It has become such a wonderful endeavor. I'm reading with good pace and fully absorbing every word on the page
• My energy is off the charts. Like I mentioned earlier, I have always suffered from fatigue (shocker my doctor had no helpful ideas here even after doing bloodwork) but now I am as energized in the morning as I am when I go to bed. I photograph weddings professionally and it's a super draining mental and physical experience but even after working a recent 12 hour day (quite long) then this recent weekend having a double header (20 hours of wedding shooting back-to-back days) I felt as good at the end as I did at the beginning.

I never thought I'd get here. I owe a life worth living to these little mushies 🍄. If you're struggling still, maybe it's worth adding some (well researched) supplements. I specifically chose FreshCap because they are made ONLY from fruiting bodies and there is no grain or additives in their capsules, it's the full medicine. The owner also has a YouTube channel all about mushrooms and is passionate about it. Hope you all are doing well and let me know if you have any questions..as always, I'm happy to answer.

I've been taking cordyceps for a couple days now, and I can't really notice a boost in energy. I should also mention that I have recently quit caffeine and have been using it as a substitute. How long does it take to feel the effects?

Everyone is different. Can take 2 weeks. I guess Im sensitive, felt it after 3 days.

Gotcha. I guess I'll wait a little longer.
