When you microdose, the bad feelings go down, but the good feelings go up. So what people report after microdosing or while microdosing is literally, and this is a quote from many, many people, I'm back. What does that mean? It means I feel like I do or I did before. I was depressed. I feel normal. I feel happy. My libido is back. I'm both enjoying work or disliking it more, depending on the job, but I'm more able to feel feelings. Really talking.
