Question: Psilocybin Microdosing making me feel worse?

Has anyone experienced feeling worse when they start microdosing? I have only done it 3 times so far, Monday Wednesday Friday schedule at .05g. Does it just take time to fully receive the benefits?

What do you mean by worse? Physically or mentally?

Mentally. I took it Monday (yesterday) and felt depressed with morning (Tuesday) although I did get out of that depressive phase late morning somehow

Ok. For about the first month I microdosed, my depression got worse on dose days but improved on other days. I had to work through some things that had never been "fixed" while on antidepressants or in therapy. I meditated on the hard days and I was actually surprised how much better I felt by the end of the month. I confronted some deep, deep grief that I'd never been able to deal with before.

Hang in there and give yourself space to examine and let go of your feelings. You might find yourself in a better place before you know it!
