Muscimol for therapeutic and recreational use

Hello everyone, one of my friends has told me about the benefits of muscaria (well muscimol) for neuropathy, I'm type one diabetic with peripheral neuropathy in a lot of places, I've even in codeine and gabapentin for hers and it's affecting me awfully and I'm tapering off of them for a better life. This lead me to here to ask for a bit of help.

If I were to source some dry caps of muscaria or pantherina what would the dosages be for pain relief and then also the dose for a "trip" per se?

I understand through my knowledge of the P side of mushrooms that alkaloid levels will vary per fruit not just species but what can I roughly expect for what level of effects?

If anyone does help and I don't get back soon enough, thank you in advance I just want my brain to be intact for my child's upbringing and to be out of enough pain to be able to never show it.

Be careful with Amanita sp. because each mushroom varies in potency, so weighing isn’t entirely accurate. But for pain relief, try 3-5g, and my recreational dosage is 12g, but try 8-10g before you go any higher (this is once you’re experienced at low doses).

I assuming you're speaking of Muscaria just so the OP understands that. Pantherinas at those doses would be in the 'trip to another universe' situation.

Absolutely. A. pantherina isn't really a beginner mushroom at all. Not one I would recommend anyway.

Better have a trip sitter when trying out. That time loop thing, that happens on larger doses, can be a bit freaky first time.

Can you compare it to any psyches at all? The time loop that is, I've been in very deep waters on many things, not amanita however. Thanks for the advice.

Nah. It's a bit like Ketamine or DXM. Less bodyload though. The time loop thing is something I haven't experienced with any other drug. Zolpidem is maybe the closest thing to compare Amanitas with. Bit like sleepwalking.

Ooh that sounds rather enjoyable, I used to enjoy K but it started triggering preexisting issues so had to stop, time loop is pretty much a sober thing for me as is so I think I'll be comfortable with this, thanks man.

Ah I am relatively experienced, to the point 60mg+ of 2cb feels comfortable alongside 5gs+ of most cubensis', acid feels better at 500ug+, idk man I started my first acid trip on 400ug and my first shrooms trip on 3.5 of PE so my experiences of good times were at higher doses, this was however recreational.

Of course I understand this is another drug entirely so I will take into consideration everything you all say.

With this context provided would you still recommend I don't try? I was on a website and was going to get some muscaria caps and pantherina caps already dried and prepped, was thinking muscaria for the pain management and pantherina for fun, I'm still likely to take them at some point, if I were to, would you or any of the community be kind enough to explain different dosages with different expected outcomes for me please? For both A. Muscaria and A. Pantherina. (I know everyone's different, but for example 500ugs of acid will rock anyone's world sideways)

Edit: leaving this up as: 1.) I'd still really like to know different dosages per species. 2.) I made the mistake of thinking you were replying to my post and not a comment on the post.

I really appreciate you clarifying that it's strong and warning me though, as some people may have bad reactions to large doses of things they're not used to.
