Decision Tool

The best way to come off medication is gradually. Tapering down can be done in two ways:  reducing how often you take medication or lowering the dose itself. One simple approach is to substitute one prescription use with one microdose and observe how your body responds. Since psilocybin is natural and non-addictive, introducing it while still on medication carries no harmful interactions.

Think of psilocybin like a natural supplement or vitamin rather than another prescription. Take for example someone prescribed medication for insomnia can add melatonin, a natural sleeping aid supplement, without adverse effects. The recommended dose of any supplement is likely not potent enough to seem effective in conjunction with synthetic medication, let alone harmful. The same idea applies to psilocybin, there's no dangerous chemical clash like you would experience mixing alcohol and prescriptions.

Psilocybin has been designated by the FDA as a 'Breakthrough Therapy', a label reserved for treatments that show significant results where pharmaceutical options fall short. Microdosing is far from just a popular fad; it's recognized by the department of government responsible for keeping our food and medication safe. The therapeutic value is backed by results in countless clinical studies by many prestigious universities, such as John Hopkins, Yale, UC Berkeley and Harvard.

Symptoms will not worsen with microdosing due to the mechanism of how psilocybin works. Prescription medications are designed to suppress symptoms temporarily, which can be helpful in the short-term but does not address the root of health issues. Psilocybin supports the brain's ability to heal rather than mask discomfort. Traditional medication is about managing symptoms day-to-day, whereas microdosing offers long-term improvement. Psilocybin is a natural compound found in mushrooms.

While it's true doctors do not offer support, it's important to understand why. Hospitals profit more from ongoing prescription use and regular appointments far more than from providing long-term, natural solutions. Holistic treatments, like psilocybin therapy, reduce the need for ongoing care. Unfortunately, sick patients are more profitable than healthy ones, which is why alternative treatments are rarely suggested by medical professionals.

Marijuana legalization has changed attitudes toward alternative medicine. However, it's likely even if cannabis were federally legal, a stigma would remain and magic mushrooms are in a similar phase. Often anyone who moving away from traditional Western medicine will be judged ironically by those who are unwell in aspects of their own lives. The reality is microdosing offers real healing, but with the baggage of outdated stereotypes.

This is the greatest misconception because psilocybin is anti-habitual. Microdosing is often used to treat prescription dependency. A surprise for many people is once psilocybin therapy shows results, the need to consume mushrooms at the same frequency vastly decreases too. We aim for customers to heal within 1 to 3 months and then no longer need guided therapy afterward.

Good things take time, but psilocybin is uniquely flexible. Under proper guidance, many individuals explore larger doses, known as full or 'hero' doses, to experience a mental reset and begin healing in a much shorter time. Whether your preference is caution or want rapid progress, we'll help align your expectations with a personalized program. We don't promise overnight miracles, but for common conditions like anxiety, depression & addiction many people report dramatic improvement within 3 weeks.

Mood Healers specializes in personalized microdosing support. We've developed a proprietary system to recommend tailored microdose schedules to suit individual needs. Support is complimentary with any purchase, so there's no risk of getting it wrong. Our Dosage Calculator provides guidance if you rather explore on your own.

Psilocybin is a natural substance which leaves the system quickly and has no addictive properties. Of all concerns, this one is the least problematic because there is no chance of physical dependency allowing people to return to medication. However, many customers never return to prescriptions, not because they can't, but because they are having success with mushrooms.
