Magic Mushrooms?

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I had a great time doing them in college (tried them like 3 or 4 times). Definitely be in a good environment with people you trust and you should be fine. I always put my shrooms in a cup with orange juice (someone told me that drinking orange with it helps with the trip.. no idea if that's true, but it was college so I did it) and that kinda helped keep it down. You definitely have to get past the queasy phase, because those suckers dont taste great and can be hard to keep down. Once you keep them down, sit back and relax. I never watched Parks and Recs before, but when I thought the trip was going bad, I put that randomly on tv and my mood shifted. I was so happy and couldn't stop smiling. I forgot all the stress I felt and just felt relaxed.

I've tried grinding it and soaking it in lemon juice, as it's supposed to help it take effect faster. Anecdotally, I feel like it did. The other way I tried it was wrapping it in a fruit roll up, which was far more effective for masking the taste.
 
It is low.

my SHBG is 6 units below the lowest "normal" part of the range.

No one is offering treatment here and the ones that are offered are trash from what I have read.
If your T levels are below the clinical threshold, your PCP should absolutely Rx T gel or injections or something.

This should not be going untreated. What is your healthcare situation like?
 
I really want to try some shrooms now. Never did them before. How does one procure them?

Back when I lived in a state with conservative drug enforcement, the plan was simple. You go to your weed guy, or the friend who has a weed guy, and you express interest.

Of course if you are planning a post-Covid vacation, I bet Oakland and Denver just received a bump in priority.

Someone told me that a friend of theirs took acid and permanently thought he TURNED INTO A glass of orange juice so he became terrified to move or he’d spill. He’s in an institution somewhere now.

Don’t snopes it. It’s totally true and people shouldn’t do acid because of that story.

I have done shrooms in my 20's a few times. I am not a person with anxiety, had various experiences, non bad, a couple crazy and fun, but I wasnt looking for a spiritual rebirth.

One of my best friends who was going through a very high anxiety period where his son got kidnapped by his ex and taken over to Thailand (still there, long story) did Ayahuasca. Basically shrooms cubed. He was looking for that rebirth, and he found it. Did wonders for him, and several years later the results and calming affects are still there after the 3 years. He is remarried, expecting a kid on the way, happy professionally, loves his house and loves his life. In fact recently he told me he feels guilty because 2020 was the best year of his life.

So the hallucinogens can be very good for anxiety and resetting your brain if used right. I did see a documentary on it and it was fascinating, some major universities (ivy league) are doing research on it as we speak.

It's public healthcare.

I was treated in an hospital..

There are a bunch of TRT clinics over here, but have not made any calls.

I see, if you can please get a generalist family doctor for your PCP.

They are more likely to embark on long-term treatments than doctors that haven't seen you more than once or twice.

Because they should absolutely be prescribing T for you. I have friends who have low T-levels and they were put on androgel and they have responded well to treatment.
 
Literally just ate an 8th of these bad boys night before last while on a mini vacation.

I bought them for the group but two were first timers (gf and her friend) but they were too nervous about it. I’ve never taken them alone so I was also like nah then I guess I’m out too but then decided fuck it — I know how to manage myself on these things if it starts awry.

it ended up being a good experience; some brief moments of paranoia but again; this is common and if you can maintain a decent level of self awareness and functionality you can pull out of it rather quickly.

the cognitive portion of it wasn’t overly intense which was nice; however, the physical euphoria was far more intense than any Molly/ecstasy I’ve ever tried. It was to the point at which it was almost paralyzing but in a good way. I just laid on my bed and just let it run its course for a while. Three some
Headphones on, put on my username/Led Zeppelin/Pink Floyd, closed my eyes and just did a visual cosmic travel to finish it out.

probably won’t fuck with them for a while, but that was my first go around with psilocybin since 2011.

My T fluctuates. Sometimes it's really low, and sometimes it's normal. At least the Total T. I do not know why. But my last blood work was my lowest.

I know for a fact that dopamine is connected with testosterone. I also know that my symptoms could be low T.

My issue is that where I live, the options are quite limited, and doctors do not want to treat you unless you have real medical problem (I.E pituitary or testicles). It doesn't seem like I have an issue with either. So I thought that perhaps I should be ordering it online, but it seems cumbersome.

I also thought about supplementing HGH, or something similar. It is clear I suffer from some kind of malfunctions that is connected to the dopaminergic system.

Honestly, I just want to be focused again, and have a good sense of wellbeing. Whatever it is. I just know SSRIs and the likes is not the answer to my problems.

Out of curiosity, what type of bloodwork did you have done for your levels and what type of MD ran the tests?

Total is not always the answer, as total T, free T, SHBG, LSH and FSH need to be checked. In my observation, it seems the medical community is still somewhat dated on TRT/HRT. It is best to connect with an urologist if you can, as the therapy will be more thorough.

I am basing my comments on personal experience. Finally built the nerve a year and half ago to have a thorough exam.

People do not realize how stress and depression can wreak havoc on your hormones and make it worse.

In a nut-shell, i have been taking 150mg of test cypionate (inject) a week and now feel like a golden god! I agree with everyone else, getting your test/estrogen levels right can make a MASSIVE difference. I wiuld venture to say, adding in the microdosing and you will be on another level!

Good luck and if you need any advice or feedback on TRT, let me know and i am more than happy to give my honest personal experiences/opinions.

I find them fascinating, but I've always been too chicken to try.
Closest I've come to something like that is Ketamine, they use it for pain in the hospital sometimes.

THAT is trippy. It can go good or bad too, I've been fortunate to never have it go bad, but I had a nurse who shook while giving it to me because she'd had it and had a horrible experience. Are you incapacitated on those? I know they're making great breakthroughs in depression w/ Ketamine and mushroom's. Ketamine basically reset my depression for me when they used it for pain. I was on a 3 day drip of it and at the end, I came off all my depressant drugs. It felt like a religious experience, honestly.

You can always tell the folks tripping on LSD, they're the ones walking around WITH Orange Juice, lol. Never wanted to try anything that could make permanent modifications (flashbacks), but I had friends who did. Supposedly extends the trip. How ironic you chose this...Freudian slip?
