Speaking from personal experience, residual 'disconnection' / difficulties resolve after ~48 hours. I actually feel more connected to 'reality' during/after tripping, but everyone's experiences vary.
Lately there has been some promising research into psilocybin's long-term effects on the brain and specifically depression - it's becoming clear that the drug has a unique effect in breaking down old (potentially negative) pathways/connections and allowing new (potentially healthier) connections to form in their place. Really interesting stuff.

- systematical 8y agoDo you have any experience with micro-dosing? I've personally never eaten less than a half gram and I think a micro-dose is about a tenth of a gram.
- adetrest 8y agoHave you read "how to change your mind"? It touches on the subject. There is also erowid.org that might have the information you're interested in.
- Liquix 8y agoYes, although a good amount of academic research and most of my personal experience has been with LSD as opposed to mushrooms. Mainly due to the increased duration and slight stimulant properties. Nothing but good things to say about the practice provided you keep dosage and frequency at the 'micro' threshold. My roommate and I ran a pseudo-blind study (50% chance we'd get LSD on a microdose day, 50% water) and both noticed increased energy, empathy, creativity, and general quality of life. How to Change Your Mind as someone else suggested is a great place to start.
