I took HBWR seeds almost two months ago, and since then all my mushroom trips have been bad- all produced abnormal physical effects, as well as a bad headspace. Any tips on curing this problem?

Experience/Tripping

Almost two months ago I decided to experiment with Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds combined with 2g of cubensis. To provide context, mushrooms have never made me nauseous or produced uncomfortable physical effects ever, and I had about 8 mushroom trips prior to taking the seeds.

When I took the seeds in conjuction with the mushrooms I had extreme nausea and vacoconstriction (my skin felt very tight and like it was going to pop). The physical effects were awful, my head felt heavy but trying to lie down felt painful in a way. Mentally the headspace was crazy and hectic. It felt as if it physically produced anxiety within me. After the "trip" was over I summed it up to the seeds not being right for me and decided to never take them again. I'll just stick to mushrooms I thought. I had stomach aches and nausea that persisted for weeks afterwards because of those seeds. Really awful stuff.

Fast forward to now, I've had three mushroom trips since then all with at least two weeks space inbetween. I used 3g of cubensis every time. Every trip has been similar to my experience with the seeds. I am thrusted into a headspace of paranoia and anxiety-I can't think straight. It's not something I can talk myself out of, it feels very physical. As if I was injected with panic. I get nausea and physically I feel awful. I feel so sleepy but jittery at the same time.

Now the effects are completely unlike all my previous mushroom experiences before I tried seeds. I can't even call them "trips". They have no peak at all, and no comedown. Its as if my body doesn't process psilocybin the same way as before. On one of those trips it did seem like I was going to peak but just as it felt like it was building it abruptly stopped; the visuals went away, and I was just left with this headspace of anxiety and uncomfortable physical sensations.

I have mentally and emotionally recovered from that bad trip with the HBWR seeds, so it leads me to believe that damage has been done to my microbiome/gut perhaps? The psilocybin isn't being processed how it should be.

Has anybody got any advice or has anybody had a similar experience? Sorry if my post seems like it's rambling.
