A psycholytic dosage is a low to mild dose of a psychedelic substance such as psilocybin (truffles), LSD, MDMA analogue or ketamine. The dose is between a microdose and a full trip dose in. This means that the effects are subtly noticeable, but you still remain clear-headed and functional.
How does psycholytic dosing work?
With a psycholytic dose, you experience slight changes in your consciousness, such as:
✔ More emotional openness
✔ Improved introspection and self-reflection
✔ Easy access to suppressed emotions
✔ Enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills
This dosage makes it easier to do therapeutic work without the experience becoming overwhelming. This is often used in guided psychedelic therapies and integration sessions.
Difference between microdosing, psycholytic dosing, and macrodosing
| Dosage type | Effects | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Microdosing (5-10% of a trip dose) | Barely noticeable effects, subtle improvement in mood and focus | Daily functioning, productivity, creativity |
| Psycholytic dosage (10-50% of a trip dose) | Mild psychedelic effects, introspection, emotional processing possible | Therapeutic sessions, deep conversations, self-reflection |
| Macrodosing (50-100% or more) | Full psychedelic experience, visual effects, deep transformative insights | Truffle ceremonies, deep spiritual and therapeutic journeys |
Why use a psycholytic dosage?
Psycholytic dosing is often applied in psychedelic therapy/coaching or integration sessions, because:
- You remains aware, but have more access to suppressed emotions
- You easier can break old patterns or traumas
- The experience can be well guided by a therapist
- It is less intense than a full trip, making integration easier.
At Triptherapie, psycholytic dosage used during integration sessions, in which a low dose of MDMA, truffles, or ketamine is used to support the therapeutic process.

A psycholytic dosage of psilocybin is typically a low to moderate dose used to facilitate introspection and psychotherapy without completely losing one's sense of reality. These dosages usually range from 0.5 to 2 grams of dried Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, which corresponds to approximately 5 to 20 milligrams of psilocybin.
