My history of tripping varies wildly . . . tryptamines I do not like to do too often simply because of the sheer intensity they tend to produce for me on a "soul" level (emotions and what I like and such). These things take some time to integrate for me, also on an energetic level.
Phenethylamines, however, I have recently found that once a week suits me fine. Occasionally even a second time during a week. My doses are usually far from heroic but rather close to Shulgin's medium levels. I do alternate this regime with the occasional methylone excursion and/or mdma. Though especially mdma I like to use less than once a month, for many reasons.
I am aware that tripping weekly or more is a recipe for disaster - however, I know that this repeated tripping is temporary (actually I believe methylone not to be very psychedelic, and not mdma either). It just simply is the right time for me to be doing this, due to having a lot of free time on my hands at this time in my life, following a time of being rather very busy, and knowing that this time will come to an end. my recent trips have been very rewarding, and I trust that I will know when it is time to give it a break again for whatever reason (body: energy or organs; mind: tiredness or restlessness). I have had bashings before... only 4 or 5 month ago a strong trip made sure I didn't touch any psy's for 6 weeks or so until the experience was integrated.
Usually, the short-acting psy's are something I can get away with multiple times before finally realising that, yes, it is time for a rest... while the longer-acting ones tend to over-saturate me and I am very happy to remain "just me as I am" for some time afterwards.
I must admit that, despite almost always gleaning some wonderful insights (I find that many have to be re-discovered and re-attained time and again) I do trip for recreational purposes too (especially when in company) - though I like to choose my company carefully and usually end up having very open, deep conversation about matters not usually touched upon in such great depth and honesty and with so little judgment. Love it.
