Has anyone tried micro dosing mushrooms or something similar for ADHD? (lemm.ee)

Not sure if this type of post is allowed due to the legal implications, but wondering if anyone has had any experience with this or has resources to find out more. Someone mentioned on Imgur that they had success but they didn't respond with any additional info. I tried searching online but a lot of what I found is from the companies that produce it or articles that need to skirt around the subject (again probably because of the legality). I used to research stuff on Reddit but now that Reddit doesn't allow you to see NSFW stuff without logging into their app, it's impossible to see discussions on it since everything around it is marked NSFW. I'm even marking this post as NSFW in case there's similar rules here on this community.

For context, the reason I'm asking is because I take a stimulant but just had to deal with my insurance for multiple weeks to do the whole prior authorization. I've been taking it for a year, tried using other non-stimulant and generic options before that which didn't help. Then when I got it approved I had to get the prescription renewed, wait for it to ship, and then making sure I was home since you have to sign for it. If there's an option where I can legally purchase capsules to micro dose, have something that's effective for my ADHD, and not have to worry about the long term side effects of stimulant use*, I would love to consider the option.

*My resting heart rate is higher in the year since I started taking them.

Please don't offer to hook someone up with substances. It can be seen as business advertising. I would appreciate if you edit your post so that I don't have to remove.
