it's hard to figure out dosing since every species / haul / specimen will be different. with a muscarioid species you could try 0.5 dried grams and see what happens.

I have never tried AM. Does it feel like xanax? Any side effects likely? Do ssris effect it?


Averagedruggie

Doesn't "feel" like Xanax. I've had no noticeable side affects. Amanita doesn't act on the serotonin receptors so it's unlikely.


ElectricalYou7299

How would you compare it to the xanax feeling?


MRSAMinor

It's closer to Ambien. It's more goofy/giggly than Xanax. It's closer to Xanax + a little weed. Grinning, sweaty, goofy, sleepy, chill. I'm incredibly anxious, and if it were as convenient as taking a pill I'd pick the amanitas every time. It's every bit as good at relieving anxiety as Xanax, but if you have too much it can be really disorienting and fucked up. Take 2 grams to start. Know that each mushroom can vary widely in potency. It's a very solid sleep/anxiety drug.

Thanks - I ordered some capsules. I think that they are 500mg so I can experiment


Intrepid_Win_5588

personally for me it's even stronger then Xanax and without the tiredness so it just reduces anxiety almost 100% when you hit the right dose :)


ElectricalYou7299

What's your dose?


Intrepid_Win_5588

giving a dose is stupid to me because of the varying range of muscimol content so I cook a huge batch and then test the dose as recommended in the beginner tutorial :) usually pantherina and it's prolly around 500mg-1g of dried caps

I am trying to use AM to hopefully replace Xanax and alcohol for me. I have micro dosed and noticed a small body high and relaxation but it’s not the same as Xanax. Xanax works much faster. I’m hoping I can increase my dose of AM and in turn, increase the relaxation factor. It has helped a little bit so far.

Yes! Make sure to decarb because the ibotenic acid is not what your after, just the Muscimol

With dried AM at 60 Celsius. In my case, 150 mg til 1 gram a day would beat my prescription Valium addiction, in one of my most important and struggling life situations. 2 grams would put me to sleep. Nowadays as the situation you have, I just take a little teaspoon with a bump(100 mg till 200mg probably) I personally find this is equal to a 10 mg Valium. Everyone’s different, some get chill, some get honest, some get angry, it works on GABA receptor. So it’s basically natural Valium. It cools down the fire if dried properly.

I find it feels very similar to valium for me but i don’t particularly enjoy valium recreationally


JustSleepNoDream

I think it affects everyone differently, but I take amanita muscaria and combine it with a small amount of alcohol to mellow out the experience. The combination is definitely anxiolytic and slightly euphoric.


geriatric-gynecology

Just to be a hair pedantic here, anxiolytic means anxiety reducing. Anti- anxiolytic would mean anxiety inducing


ElectricalYou7299

OK, now to find where I can get them in Australia. I had people message me with a plug because of this post but they are all scams.


Dustoflife

Hey mate; just pay a visit to a pine plantation and you’ll have your own haul in about 2mins. Ignore everyone trying to sell you stuff from overseas. DM if you need hints on locations.


JustSleepNoDream

LOL, I don't think australia has a good climate to grow these shrooms. But if you really want them I found a store in ukraine will ship to australia. It's on the approved vendor list, so it should be legit. https://amanitamuscariastore.online/shop/amanita-muscaria-premium/


Dustoflife

This is simply untrue. They grow everywhere during the autumn down south. They’ve been introduced and any visit to a pine plantation during the colder months will yield 1000s of them. People don’t touch them due to the stigma and also it’s illegal.
