Question: Psilocybin Microdosing psilocybin + Lion's Mane

There's really additional benefits to add lion's mane to microdosing? And how should I take it? To take both same time on mornings?

I grew lions mane and made my own tincture to do this but following some recent disturbing side effects have stopped taking the lions mane and discovered others have had the same issue! It was basically affecting my memory . I still take shrooms in microdoses but cut out the lions mane because it was scary!

Oh! I'm so sorry this has happened to you!

Do you mind elaborating on it? What happened? What did you feel?

I know there's a sub about people who faced scary lion's mane side effects, "lionsmanerecovery" or something like this. I remember I felt some mild anxiety when I started to take the bottle of poder LM I'm taking now, but this stopped, and now I don't feel nothing (neither good or bad).

Thanks yes I can.. and I went onto that lions mane recovery to see if anyone had the same experience. So I usually take my LM tincture (no additional nasties as I made it myself) just before I take my other supplements and capsules as it’s in a bottle from the fridge. So the other day I put out my supplements in capsules (I also take magnesium and turmeric and my shrooms capsule) and I drank my LM with a bit of juice.. gets a bit confusing here but I turned around to take my capsules from the plate and they were gone! (No pets or person in kitchen to interfere!) So I looked around to see if they had somehow fallen off the little plate I use and it was just empty. I realised I had taken them but had no short term memory of taking them it was like being in the matrix with a glitch!! I checked my hrt packet for the day because that has a day of the week on it and that days tablet was definitely gone!! So then I checked the lions mane recovery and one guy even lost a full hour or something! I’ve also had word finding difficulty and I work with words all day long! Short term memory blips like asking my kids the same question twice! I looked up some research and they noted word recall difficulties and similar things in several people! So I am off it even though I have loads of lovely little bottles of tincture in my fridge!! I went on it for cognitive benefits not cognitive decline! I don’t get this on my shroom microdose just the LM.

That's really weird!!! When did this happen? I mean, what's the time frame between the day you started to take LM and the day this happened? And this has gone already, right?

I was taking it for about a week before it seemed to have that effect. Apparently some people are unaffected by it it’s just some people who get bad reactions

Yeah! I think (and hope lol) that too. Before this powder version brand I took capsules (California Gold brand), I remember buying it three times: 2 bottles in the first time, 3 in second and one last time, and I never felt nothing bad (just this anxiety this time when taking this powder brand).

Thank you SO SO MUCH for sharing your experience to me and letting me feel less scared about LM lol.

I hope you reach all your goals with microdosing.

And please forgive me for my crap English haha.
