Lion's Mane Mushroom

[Jonnie]

Does anyone have recommendations for people who don't feel comfortable with the Lion's Mane mushrooms? I'm just nervous about accidentally getting addicted to them.

Similar to what many have said here, Psilocybin is generally non-addictive. The journey on a full dose is not an easy ride to get through, so many are not clamoring to go again right away. Furthermore, the efficacy of mushrooms drops day-to-day. People need to wait at least a couple weeks to reduce their tolerance enough to feel the full effects.

However, some recreational users can get mentally addicted as opposed to physical addiction.

Lion's Mane mushrooms are not psychoactive, so anyone who wants to try is safe there!

I'd want to try Psilocybin for the tinnitus, but unfortunately I currently have mild HPPD, which means no psychoactive substances of any kind for me until it resolves.

I think my noxacusis is nerve damage related, simply because of the burning pain I get which is a very common complaint for people with neuropathy.

There's this peptide called ARA-290 that actually treats neuropathy. The company trialing it ran out of funds recently but you can buy it online in some shops. There's people talking about it helping with nerve issues a lot but you need to continuously dose it and it can be expensive unless you find a good Chinese source.

My pain has been coming and going. Gets very bad with a setback, then takes a month or two to get better. I'm probably going to pick up some of this peptide though and try it.

There might be long term effects if taken for a very long time but nobody knows for sure.

Would this help the startle response being messed up due to middle ear muscles? I don't have pain though, only my middle ear muscles are almost always spasming, plus it gives me a sort of central sensitization gain.

I have a sizzling, pulsing feeling/noise in the lateral parts of the brain, that in reaction to noise - or even without - fluctuates to the top of the head as an electrical fizzing thing, surrounding the head.

I tried supplements and Lion's Mane mushroom. Didn't help. Maybe placebo or marginal help!

I've been trying Lamictal 50 mg for 2 weeks now, seems to help some. I will increase the dose.

Your issue could stem from some type of nerve damage, it's hard to say. I get eardrum spasms too but not often. I've just been taking Lion's Mane for a few days and noticed nothing yet. You need to take it for a month straight at least to start noticing the effects.

My ear pain is massively down now since my last setback about 2 months ago. Not sure if it's any of the supplements or just time. Still have some pain but it's improved a lot. Tinnitus unchanged though.

I want to try microdosing either shrooms or LSD along with the Lion's Mane. I ordered some Semax too which produces a lot of BDNF so maybe that is better than Lion's Mane.

I want to get something that can heal this issue rather than just mask the symptoms but it might not be possible. I always seem to improve after each setback but they come more easy and last longer as time goes on.

I'm really happy for you!

I just ordered some Lion's Mane now too and looking into many similar supplements.

How are you doing with it now?

I am still doing well with it. Cycling it though due to it having a negative effect on sexual drive.

It's not been a month yet, but curious if you notice any effects of the Lion's Mane in your system?

I've also been taking BPC-157 at the same time which makes all other supplements and medication weaker so I can't really gauge it. I'm also taking like 10 other supplements at the same time.

My mood has been way better and the pain in my ear is mostly gone. My tinnitus is maybe a very small bit better too. Hard to say if it was just time or maybe one of the other supplements like BPC-157 and TB-500 which are the stronger ones I've been taking.

The pain in my ear had been improving naturally anyway so hard to say if anything actually helped but it did get a lot better quickly after taking supplements.
