Microdosing with Psilocybin: How Small Doses and Coaching Therapy Work Best

Microdosing means taking a very small amount of a substance. With psilocybin, you take about 1/10 of a high dose (marcodose). Instead of getting a strong high, you take a small amount of psilocybin on a fixed schedule. Many people that we treat follow a set protocol for up to 3 months. This gentle way of using psilocybin can help improve your mood and focus.

Microdosing with psilocybin has also been proven to be effective for treating depression, OCD, anxiety disorders, ADHD, medication withdrawal, Alzheimer disease, menopause, chronic pain, brain injury, and eating disorders, among others. 

In this article we explain what microdosing with psilocybin is, what the potential positive impact is, for what kind of conditions and diseases it has been proven to be effective, and how you can benefit from it as well.

What is Psilocybin?

Psilocybin is a substance found in certain naturally grown mushrooms, often called ‘magic mushrooms’. When you take them, your body changes psilocybin into psilocin. This substance positively affects your brain by interacting with serotonin receptors, which can change your mood, thoughts, and perceptions. Traditionally, people have used these mushrooms in spiritual practices, and today psilocybin is known for its proven potential benefits in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD and many more.

What Is Microdosing?

• Small Dose: You take about one-tenth of what is normally needed for a full psilocybin experience.
• Timed Protocol: The psilocybin microdose is taken in a planned and guided routine over up to 3 months.
• Purpose: The goal is not to get high on psilocybin. Instead, it is to feel small but positive changes in your mood, focus, and creativity.

What Do You Feel?

• Daily Life: You can still do your daily activities. The effects are gentle.
• Mood and Focus: Many people notice an improvement in mood, better concentration, and increased creativity.
• Subtle Changes: Unlike a full high dose, microdosing does not change your reality. It helps you feel a bit more balanced.

Who Can Benefit From Microdosing and How?

Microdosing with psilocybin can help many adults. It is especially useful for:

• Depression

When Should You Start?

You can start microdosing at any time. However:

• Reset is Helpful: Microdosing works better after you have a “reset” with a high dose.
• Retreat Recommendation: We suggest doing a Conscious Pharmacist retreat first. This retreat helps you prepare mentally and physically for the microdosing process. The reset can lead to longer-lasting effects.

You can experience one or various high dose ceremonies at one of our one-day retreats, three-day retreats or five-day retreats in the Algarve. Besides small group retreats we also host private retreats for individuals and groups.
