I quote from another user saying „amanita muscaria feels like the natural gabapentinoid“. I really want to reduce my prescribed pregabalin use because the daily intake just reduced its effect and support for me. I have to take it only as needed with 2-4 days between each dose so that it helps my symptoms (depression & anxiety). I tried it daily for long enough now and it really is not the way that‘s for me (while with as needed use it can really help).

Anyone tried this famous mushroom Amanita Muscaria once? How much did you take? Was it needed to be taken daily for getting full effects or will it work from the first dosage?

Most importantly, what would you describe the effects like? Are they really comparable to Gabapentinoids? Regarding depression (mood, drive, anhedonia etc.) & anxiety, especially social anxiety (sociability, drive to go out with people, talkativeness, connection).
