Have mushroom gummies made me haunted?

I’ve been taking Feel Gud for a couple of months and I do find that I’m less overwhelmed and more focussed. It’s subtle but I notice the difference when they run out. I am peri and not on HRT so I’m taking lots of supplements alongside.
Just recently switched to Ankhway because - Instagram - and they are nice - they taste better, I like the more sustainable packaging, I feel good already but I’m aware that could definitely be the placebo effect.

The issue is that the last two nights I’ve been have audio hallucinations and this is a completely new thing for me.
I heard a dog barking in the room and also someone opening the bedroom door and coming in last night along with some other less definable sounds.
Have the ankhway gummies opened the doors of perception and now I’m experiencing other dimensions? Or ghosts? Ghost dogs.
What is going on here? Or is it just coincidence because it was Halloween on Friday?

Just wondering - lightheartedly - if anyone else has had any unexpected side effects with functional mushrooms?

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious- are you sure there wasn’t just a dog barking and someone opening the door?

I’m afraid to say, they open pathways that you really don’t want to open. Alcohol and cigarettes can do it too, but much more likely with drugs.
I’ve had these experiences over many years and it became really bad until I stopped everything and started praying. It started small, a voice, covers being whipped off in the night and then it became so bad, I was being attacked and had scratches on my body in places very hard to reach places (on my back)
If you do an internet search, you’ll find quite a bit of information on this topic.
You can rebuke it in the name of Jesus Christ and it will help. I would stop it all together personally.
I’m a pretty rational and logical person and was atheist until this started happening!

Where do you get your shrooms from bro?

BlueEyedBogWitch · 03/11/2025 15:51

I rebuke pretty much everything in the name of Jesus fucking Christ these days, but it makes not a jot of difference.

I’m not a bro. I used to take a variety of drugs and smoke and drink. Sometimes even prescribed medication from the doctors has had the effect.
You might find it funny but it was absolutely terrifying and has changed a I see the world permanently.

Oh no - I just gave in to the adverts and ordered some!

Megifer · 03/11/2025 16:17

Lols my reply has been hidden because I asked again where I can get these shrooms 😂😂😂

Werthazo3 · 03/11/2025 17:06

@Terrytheweasel is right. Exactly the same thing happened to me. I could list many examples but won’t as ppl just rip the piss so there’s no point. No one wants to hear it. No one wants to believe there is a spiritual realm beyond the visible and are doors we can open due to our actions. No ‘good’ spirits cross over to torment people, only the demonic. OP I would stop taking the stuff you are and seek help if the attacks continue. In my case a tormenting visitor let’s call them started a campaign that lasted 8 years, the attacks escalated and even followed me half way round the country (I moved house). As a Christian I had to up my prayer game, discover the root of how this thing got in and go to war against it in the spiritual authority of Jesus Christ. The evil bastard was fully booted for good. There is power in the name of Jesus, even non believers can speak it out against the darkness but it sounds you probably need experienced deliverance ministry to oust this thing for good.

So Jesus can get rid of demons? Only invisible spirit ones or human ones too? I have a list of evil bastard humans I would like to see banished for good.

People don’t get it @Terrytheweasel I hope they don’t have to go through the same to see there is more than the physical, but maybe unless people experience it for themselves they won’t.

DarkRootsBlue · 03/11/2025 17:17

What on earth are some of these answers on about? OP isn’t taking drugs, she is taking something like lion’s mane.

OP I’d look at what individual mushrooms are in your gummies and then google if anyone has experienced something similar. I’ve not heard anything like it myself.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 03/11/2025 17:23

I won’t argue with the experiences of @Terrytheweasel and @Werthazo3 . The church has deliverance ministers because they are needed!

However, first stop for me would be considering whether the quality of your sleep has changed. You may be spend8ng longer in the dozing phase so you experience more vivid dreams.

I get auditory hallucinations when I’m stressed- I hear phones ringing. It’s my hyper vigilant brain finding something to explain why I’m on edge.

So do all the healthy sleep stuff, see whether that helps.

You are describing exactly what happened to me when I went onto antidepressants. I have kept quiet about it because it sounds mad and I stopped them as a result. I won't describe what happened to me on here but I had the same thing @letstrythis

EmeraldRoulette · 03/11/2025 17:28

@letstrythis sorry to go off piste

You say that you had better focus from taking these, or at least before you started having these other issues

Do they really help with that? Focus I mean. Thanks.

letstrythis · 03/11/2025 17:37

This took a darker turns than I was expecting. It was just a lighthearted joke about the psychedelic power of shrooms.
But these are just food supplements taken to help with mental clarity and focus. Nothing that I picked in the woods.

With kindness, take care and seek help if you’re struggling with something else.

Sounds like Exploding Head Syndrome (dramatic name for harmless brain glitch). I have it, so did my mother, it's common but can be unnerving if you don't know that's what it is. Some info here: https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/exploding-head-syndrome

Mine is definitely linked to stress, but it's also appeared in the past through, cough, psychoactive substances. I've heard all sorts of things from bangs and crashes to whispers - right in my ear - and shouts, seemingly from elsewhere in the house or from outside.

I used five four mushroom gummies I thought they helped tried the capsules and....nothing no help at all unless you count shrinking my bank account

letstrythis · 03/11/2025 17:41

@EmeraldRouletteI do find they help me, yes.
I previously tried lionsmane on its own but I didn’t like it. I felt like it gave me a mild headache. These ones have 10 different mushrooms in so I’m going to do a bit of googling on side effects.
I didn’t have any side effects with the feel gud brand and they had fewer types of mushroom in them

I get clanking noises in my head etc when I’m stressed, along with anxiety, and irrational fear. If I take l theanine and try to relax, it goes away.
