Hello, all! :-)

First, I'm 52, weigh between 215 and 225, and I've tripped on shrooms four or five times.

This is the second time I've tried to grow mushrooms myself. I think I followed all of the directions properly, including drying them out and storing them properly.

Instead of eating the dried shrooms I decided to make tea after having a wonderful experience at a party where they served mushroom tea. Again, I followed the directions I found to the best of my knowledge.

At first I prepared tea with 3 grams of dried mushrooms. I drank it all, not including the solids, and waited about four hours. I felt a tightness in my stomach, which I have felt in the past, but did not trip by any means.

I was serious about tripping :-DDD So I roughly doubled the initial dose and made more tea with 7 grams. Same thing!!!!! :-((((( No joy.

My third and final serving of tea I made with 10 grams of shrooms, and this time I ate the solids after. Nothing!!!!!! Just the sensations in my stomach and nothing in my head. I was very bummed out about this since I was hoping to find some relief through this route for my anxiety and depression and make this my therapeutic drug of choice going forward.

Up until this time, I have taken no other recreational drugs for at least a month, and before then it was 99% dextromethorphan with some marijuana a couple times per month. Having said that, I was actively taking DXM daily when I had that tea at the party with great effect, so I'm confident the DXM had nothing to do with it, unless the party hosts put something other than shrooms in the tea, which I doubt.

The only change I can think of is that my doctor started me on doxazosin a few weeks prior, 2 mg once per day, a very low dose from what I understand:

So why didn't I trip????? I've yet to find any information describing the possible interaction between doxazosin and mushrooms but I can't think of anything else that might have interfered with my trip.
