A familiar story. I have tinnitus on the cluster side. In most cases its related to a loss of hearing. I would have an ENT and/or audiologist look you over. It might be something simple like wax or something else treatable. The ringing sucks and learning to calm your inner self (like meditation) can help. I would not automatically attribute it to the clusters. The flat affect, dull senses, shadows and sluggishness are classic post cycle stuff Some is the sleep deprivation but I suspicion nervous system fatigue contributes.

Well, it's been about 2 1/2 months since I passed my first true cluster cycle (I'm still continuing my small dosing of Flunarizine, though) . During the cycle and shortly after it, I felt a bit dull, as if my mental capacity had been drained and I was being sluggish (past that). Small amount of tinnitus came shortly before halfway through my cycle, and it still continues on. Like a mosquito or bug with that high-pitch sound emanating from the center to the right side of my head (my clusters were on my right side). Now on my off days of taking Flunarizine (as you take 5 days then go off for 2 days), I sometimes feel like i experience minor shadows. Anyone else in the same ballpark as me? In particular, the annoyances of this tinnitus?

Yup. Same ballpark, 6 feet away listening to the same ringing.

I'm not versed personally in that material but from all I have read 50-100 mcg is the most common dosing in the recreational crowd. The material itself is very safe from a phisiological perspective so some use larger doses but I believe there are diminishing returns beyond 200 mcg. The data I have reviewed regarding microdosing reports using 10% of a recreational dose spaced out 4-7 days. So 10 -20 mcg would be the established "microdose". From what I gather folks dilute the material in a dropper style bottle and administer it under the tongue. Obviously a trusted source is required which is the biggest obstacle. The sponsor of the study (Beckley Foundation) is a powerhouse of research funding and support worldwide for sensible psychedelic research and use. They pair closely with MAPS on a lot of things but are independent. A wealthy heiress provides the base funds.
