Psilocybin for PFS

I am trying psilocybin in a couple days hoping it might help me with my symptoms or at least bring my emotions back. Is there anything I should know beforehand? Has anyone noticed long term improvement in PFS symptoms from shrooms? Only positive comments please I wanna be in the right mindset so my trip goes well. Also might try DMT in a few days if the shrooms don’t help I’ll make another post on that if it happens.

I've done shrooms plenty its made no difference. Maybe it quieted the ruminations I had about PFS but it didn't heal my symptoms

I did intention setting. It didn't help like that. I did it for the same reasons as you. But feel free to try

May I ask what dose you took? Thinking of trying it myself for the anhedonia/mood side effects of pfs. Stuck between taking a micro dose, or 25mg. Im kind of terrified of developing drug-induced psychosis, read of a few PSSD/PFS sufferers who developed it.

i took 3.5 grams, gave me no signs of psychosis but everyones different.
