Microdosing Psilocybin: Focus, Mood, and Productivity
Three ways to structure your microdosing rhythm — and why that matters more than the dose.
Microdosing isn’t about the dose. It’s about the rhythm — the part that brings focus, balance, and clarity.
If you’re starting (or restarting), each of these microdosing protocols offers a slightly different path. The important part is picking one and sticking with it.
The Fadiman Protocol
Schedule: 1 day on, 2 days off
Example: Dose Monday, rest Tuesday and Wednesday, dose again Thursday
This is the most beginner-friendly method. It’s simple, gentle, and easy to follow.
Many report emotional balance, less reactivity, and a subtle sense of clarity.
The off days help you reflect on the experience without building tolerance.
The Stamets Stack
Schedule: 4 days on, 3 days off
Often stacked with: Lion’s Mane and Niacin
This approach is designed to support neuroplasticity — your brain’s ability to form new connections.
It’s popular with people looking to enhance creativity, break through blocks, or support long-term brain health.
Most people follow it in short cycles of 2–4 weeks.
1-on-1-off Protocol
Schedule: 1 day on, 1 day off
This protocol is all about rhythm and momentum.
It works well for those with flexible schedules or creative workflows who want more consistency.
It offers a stronger baseline without committing to the full Stamets stack.
Keep It Simple
If you’re microdosing (or just curious), try this:
Pick a protocol
Set an intention — choose one word or phrase for the week
(Examples: “Clarity,” “Patience,” “Let it go”)
Track lightly — at the end of each day, just ask:
Did I feel more present today?
That’s it. Don’t overthink it.
Presence is the point.
