Amanita - my first time use micro dosing, how I did it and how it went.

Hi all - my name is Rob [live in the UK] and I've been doing some research on Amanita Muscaria for the last month or so and I wanted to put down what it was like to try it for the first time, how I did it in a step by step process. I suffer from generalised anxiety and wanted to see if this helped reduce it.
1) I bought 30 grams dry Amanita from this company https://amanita.lt/ - it arrived in good time and seemed to have been well processed. Have looked it up and pretty sure it is not illegal to own this in the UK.
2) Using info from Amanita Dreamer video here on making tea https://www.amanitadreamer.net/general-5 I took 5 grams worth [using various parts of different mushrooms so as to get a more consistent content]. She uses 15 grams in the video to 250ml water - I used 5 grams because starting out I want to start very low dosage.
3) Using the info in the video I made a tea using the 5 grams of mixed mushrooms and 250ml of water.
4) After 25 minutes on the rolling boil [watch the above video - I watched it twice before I made the tea ] I used a large syringe to fill an ice cube tray up with each 'cube' being 7ml give or take.
5) The ice cube video which is also on the same page here https://www.amanitadreamer.net/general-5
6) 5ml of this mixture I put in a glass with x2 slices of lemon and added hot water - this is to further decarb the ibotenic acid to muscimol - and this process is well explained in the vid 'Using Lemon Tek - When and Why' [same place here https://www.amanitadreamer.net/general-5].
7) I drank half of this [note it was 7pm in the evening and I had not eaten since 2pm as wanted to try on an empty stomach]. So only equivalent of 2.5ml-3ml and equates to 0.06g - not a lot but there's no rush and can always build the dose up.
It only took a few minutes to feel effects which are hard to describe and were not overly strong [but came on fast because of having an empty stomach?]. Lay down and listened to relaxing music and after a few slightly nervous minutes began to feel a warm, feel good feeling. And lying there felt natural and fine without the need to do much. It definitely seemed to reduce generalised anxiety and without that there you automatically feel relaxed. Also I noticed that it reduces the power of repetitive thoughts... they still come but they seem to die away quickly rather than becoming a stuck record in your head.
Read for a bit at 9pm, went to sleep at 10pm. Woke up at 7am without having any unusual dreams but feeling peaceful.
For now I am going to keep micro dosing each evening around 7-8pm and see how it works out. Did make me feel drowsy so will try during the day [without adding lemon juice] when I have a day that I don't have anything too much to do and don't need to go out anywhere.
