Yes, a great trip, imo. It's like dxm, u like it, or you don't. You become delerious though, and thats when things get dangerous. Watch out for higher doses; like if your talking to people who are'nt there, touching and picking things up that are'nt there, eating things that are'nt there, you've gone a bit too far. The problem with this though, is that you don't, in morst cases i've seen at least, think, "this is a heavy trip, i should slow down" you just go on about your buisness like things were perfectly normal. Belive me, i've taken the plunge dozens of times, and people get very, very delerious. And don't trip more than once a month, the shit is killer on your liver.

i did it a long time ago, i got this really intense fatigue thing and the other big thing was that my short term memory was SO fucked up, i could not keep up with any conversation. i hated the body buzz and general feel of dramamine and found i got nothing out of the experience except satisfying curiousity.
with dxm ive at least hit some pretty nice body buzz and highs that sort of feel good, and good perception altering effects especially with sound and music, and a plethora of visuals in the dark.

i popped 20 dramamine and drank a bottle of robotussin, then took 20mg adderall to stay awake.

i cant remeber a lot except for being straight insane. like, i was looking for my friend who i just saw in my room, i was looking in rediculous places, like under coke cans and in between matresses. i was out of my head. and i didnt know it. i was smoking ciggs iu didnt have and everything. like that one guy said, you dont realize how fucked up you are at the time. bad idea in my opinion. my mom woulda sent me to the mental ward if she saw me talking to nobody.

and the body load sucks.

Once I gave some to my friend who had never tried them . He ate 24 tablets and went insane . He wandered around my house the whole time messing with shit and taking things apart . He crawled in bed with my mom and when she asked him what he was doing , he said looking for my pencil . Then my other buddy was going to the bathroom and found him with his pants down in front of my dryer . He was pissing in the dryer and when he my buddy asked him what was he doing he said don't narc on me . He was really gone and it was a pain in the ass watching over him especially after he pissed because it didn't just all go in the dryer , his pants were covered in piss as well .

Finally around 6:30 am rolled around and I told him he had to leave , wich was a HUGE mistake . He drove home still under the influence . Later that day he called me and toled me what happened on the way home .

Apparently he thought he was in the passenger seat and someone else was driving , so he wasn't steering . Along a guardrail he yelled to the guy driving to steer . He really wasn't there so he crashed into it . Luckily he wasn't going very fast and didn't get hurt . Then he went to his school cause he thought he had school . It was a saturday , but they were doing SAT's so some people were there . He wandered in with his pants full of piss and with no shoes on and his school counselor told him to leave . He then went out to his van , opened the back , and talked to a group a friends for a while untill he realised they weren't there . Finally he managed to make it home safely .

Since then he hasn't tried it anymore and I have stayed away as well . It's a shitty drug with a terrible body load . It can be very dangerous because you just don't know what the fuck your'e doing and if you do , you think it's alright . Some younger people might like this , I sure did when I was 15 , but believe me there are much better drugs out there than this shit .

Haha, me and this kid stayed over at my friends house, and he was very new to the scene(the kid). He took a roll(12 or so) and was feeling fucked up a bit, but we were all tired, so we were like, fuck it, sleep. This kid got up, left the house, door swinging wide open, and went and sat outside of the development on the curb. We found him like just at sun up, the sprinklers were spraying all over him. When he got back down, he was saying that he was calling his mom to come pick him up(all his stuff was at the house) and he was smoking a black and mild with a really tall black guy, which may or may not have really happened. crazy shit

I've done this before...It was quite an experience...

Complete Hallucinations...you think that they are real..but they are not.

This is not a 'FUN' drug..but it is very much so a psychedlic experience...

Strongly recomend a SOBER trip sitter for this one...It is like being in a waking dream..

Everytime I've done this i find my self talking to myself and saying, "Self, why the fuck did you do this to your self again?"

this is complete detachment from reality. a psychotic state. definitely NOT recreational.

mssunshine

05-20-2004, 05:46 PM

Ok, when im tired and cant sleep, ill take 2 OTC dramamine with a beer and it knocks me out....how do you use recreationally?

are we talking same type dramine?

imabuildingburning

05-20-2004, 06:39 PM

Yeah, sunshine...it's the regular OTC dramamine. It's sold as an anti-nausea remedy, but the active ingredient (dimenhydrinate) also works as a sleep aid. If you want to trip off the shit though you gotta take at least 400-500 milligrams, which is 8-10 of the original formula pills. And if you do decide to try it, make sure you're in a safe setting and don't have any shit to do for the rest of the day. Oh, and expect to see fucked up shit...and bugs. Lots and lots of bugs...am I right or what (for those who have done it)?

crackforkids

05-20-2004, 06:46 PM

i had to take adderall to stay awake long enough to tripp. that isnt a good idea though, health risks.

i never saw any bugs, not 1. but i was confused when the 10 people in my room suddenly left the party (dissapeared) and the music turned off. it never started or ended. i only remember the peak. i called someone and do not remember that at all. i slurred my words real bad cause i was so tired. i remember thinking i was sober. it was like waking up from a freaky cloudy nightmare the next morning, i had no idea what "really" happened to me last night.

HappyHaHaGirl

05-20-2004, 06:49 PM

It won't kill you to take that many? I'm always afraid to take more than two of anything.... :eek: Wouldn't you just pass out before you could even trip? Those things always knock me out first thing.

mssunshine

05-20-2004, 07:55 PM

yeah happy...im thinking the same thing...i usually take them to go to sleep, or if i have a severe hangover....

ive also wondered though...who are the people that try this kind of stuff to begin with to even find out you can trip on it....LOL

so if your seeing shit...im assuming that it somewhat like shrooms? or am i wrong?

crackforkids

05-20-2004, 08:00 PM

that is SO WRONG. i mean, i see where your comming from but its nothing like that. ok, the drammine shit is made from a chemical in the datura plant. that should let you know how fucked up it is. read through this thread, do a llittle reading on erowid, and think about the word "delerious" for a little bit.

mssunshine

05-20-2004, 08:04 PM

how sad is this...i thought i had tried ALOT of shit...then i read here and find out there is SO MUCH more in the world that i dont even know about, or wouldnt know how to get...just the norm drugs i guess is what i know...pot, speed, coke, crystal, heroin, scripts, pcp, shrooms, lsd, crack...i feel old and not so drug savvy anymore...LOL

imabuildingburning

05-20-2004, 08:06 PM

I've only done shrooms once, and barely even tripped, but dramamine is NOTHING AT ALL like shrooms, or any other fun drug for that matter. I mean, it's $3 for a tube of the stuff, and not many people do it, so do that math...hehe. I would say go for it though if you're curious, just so you know what it's like to be completely fucked out of your mind.

mssunshine

05-20-2004, 08:15 PM

ok crack...i just went and read about it like you suggested....so from your experience...what are the drawbacks...this sounds cool...but are there any side effects? and is the come down really upto 3 days?

sounds like something i *might* get up the nerve to try..especially since i have a shitload of dramamine at home...but the older i get...the less i like to try to new things as death isnt what im looking for

Dramaine is great if you want to feel shitty, gross, and short of breath. It's especially fun when you wake up the next morning and wish you could just die.

imabuildingburning

05-21-2004, 08:27 PM

Well sunshine, here's a final bit of advice. First of all, the comedown isn't 3 days, it's more like 10 hours...at worst you might just feel a little off for a few days. Secondly, don't expect it to be all great and everything, but at the same time it's a worthwhile experience. Also, don't worry about dying. You won't OD on it, unless you take upwards of 25 or more. That's not to say that you won't do something pretty stupid and end up killing yourself though if you decide to go for a walk or something though. =) I would take between 10-12. Be prepared for a rather unpleasant body load and possible shortness of breath/panic attack though.

Oh okay...im good then....i hate panic attacks...which is why i stopped smoking pot....any other drug in the world...im okay...smoke pot and its like im on crack...i laugh my ass due to not having a tolerance to it anymore...and then next thing i know im peeking out windows...thinking my heart is giving out..cant breathe...its a trip...it sucks...cause i miss it...

I get the same way now for some reason. Which i hate cause i love the stuff. I have to smoke in small doses. I used to smoke a quarter easy in an evening. the good old days. I think its just a mental thing that can be controled. Because if i keep myself busy i'm fine.

mssunshine

05-21-2004, 09:49 PM

You probally won't jump off your balcony, but wandering in traffic is possible...so is waking up in a nice ditch...If you take enough of this you will be totally seperated from reality, but you will still be mobile. You really need to be in safe setting and have someone that is able to restrain you present (and no not someone else tripping on it) you have to be a real psychonaut to try to control this stuff.

wandering into traffic is very possible. jumping off a balcony maybe depending on what sort of delusions you were having.

I would NOT recommend Dramamine! Me and my friend Shannon took 600 mg each one nite, and the results weren't pretty. He's tried many drugs, (pot, adderal, x, shrooms, etc), but after this trip, he was so fucked up that he told me he was quitting everything for good. He has an extremely high tolerance for everything, so I was pretty amused when, just 20 minutes after he'd taken it, he was gone. I hadn't taken any until about 10 minutes later than him, so it hadn't hit me yet. He would just mumble, lay down and stare at the blanket, look up and blink, and say "weird..". "What's weird, Shannon?" "Nothing.." Tht was amusing for me, but what happened later was not. About 20 minutes after that, he watched as insects crawled all over his arms, then looked up in time to see me tear out my tongue, hold it out for him to take, and bleed to death.

I, meanwhile, was totally gone. Nothing I said could be understood, except for apparently "whores" (or horrors) "on 4th street". I couldn't walk straight and just sat on the bed staring forward for three hours, with my mouth hanging open like I was mentally retarded. I was so lost in my own world that I wasn't responding to any outside stimulus. I'd been falsely diagnosed with autism as a child, going into a 2-year period of not speaking at all, so my boyfriend was deathly worried that I'd somehow regressed into such a state. Then when I woke up the next morning I couldn't remember ANYTHING at all except him asking me if I wanted to lay down and go to sleep about 6 times, and me replying no each time.

Before that, I'd only taken Dramamine once, at a lower dose, and saw a couple of mild hallucinations on the floor and walls, so nothing could have prepared me for this. Shannon is just thankful that he DOES have such a high tolerance or who knows what worse things could have happened?

Not trying to preach to any of you guys or anything, because I know that if anyone really wants to try it bad enough, they will...but if you do, just try a lower dose at first than we did..

The first thoughts that will cross your mind after you begin to feal the drug are why the fuck did i do this to myself??? Iv done this one more than 10 occasions before i finally realized i hated it everytime. I once while on a low dose of shrooms took 14 benadryle which have basicly the same ingrediant and after an hour the world i was in was so alien it could not be reconized, people i had known for ever did not look at all familiar and talking on the phone was impossible because you forget what you are talkin about every 3 seconds, definatly not a fun drug.

Zaruthustra

05-31-2004, 07:21 AM

Bout 4 months ago I after I read about it on erowid I took 15 pills. There was no trip whatsover. I dragged on over to the couch and fell into a DEEP sleep. A few hours later my sister woke me up, apparently after quite some shaking, and I stumbled upstairs to my bed and finished my slumber. No dreams. Based on that experience I couldn't imagine fighting off the ungodly tiredness without at the very least some adderal. Though I seem to remember there being a difference between dimenhydrate and dramamine, without one combating some of the fatigue. Don' t remember though. In any case I'd avoid the delerients. They're no fun and there's no spiritual value. Stick with the tryptamines and phenathylamines. Peace.

When I took Dramamine, it was not fun. Not fun at all.

The "trip" was like this: I started hearing voices in my head; I talked to imaginary people, and I would believe that I was in places other than my bedroom. As for hallucinations, it was NOTHING like a mushroom or acid trip. Mushrooms, acid and mescaline (cactus) all have incredibly beautiful and colourful visual hallucinations. On Dramamine I saw everything dark, twitching and quivering. I had no idea what the fuck was going on. It was like a really, really bad dream. Or maybe like being schizo.

Dramamine is the worst drug I've used. I would prefer to slam my penis with a door than take that crap again. When I was young and poorly-connected (last year) I was desperate to try some sort of "trip." I wish I'd waited until mushroom season that year so I wouldn't have had the nightmarish experience. Taking Dramamine was about as fun as making love to a sweet sweet woman, and then realising her genitals are a mouth with teeth that bites off your penis, and you're left bleeding in agonising pain screaming, "why, God, why."

Anyway, if you are considering using this shit, I'd advise you to either stick to smoking weed, or finding more enjoyable trips. Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds are very cheap (available online), fairly close to an LSD trip and SO much better than Dramamine.

Take it easy everyone. Chalmers

anything is better than dramamine. maybe except for datura lol~

i was peaking on my dex trip (600mg) and i took 500mg of benadryl (diphenhydramine) along with 2 bowls of weed. it wasnt that bad with DXM because i didnt itch like mad (i was numb) but the cotton mouth was horrible! there was no spit in my mouth or throat and i had trouble breathing for a few hours, but after that it was ok. my walls turned a dark purple and had vines all over them twitching, the poster on my wall kept moving back and forth, i saw my rabbit hop towards me multiple times only to realize it wasnt real. i would begin watching TV when all of a sudden it would turn off and i'd realize it wasnt even on! i went to go take a piss and couldnt find the door handle because it kept moving everywhere lol. i had to have my friend help me find it and (sadly) unzip my pants for me. i looked up and there were 2 ceiling fans going extremley fast, so i went to go turn it off and as soon as i pressed the switch they stopped and started picking speed up slowly--they had been off the whole time. but i did experience one of the greatest things in my life, as i lay in my bed totally mind-fucked i saw different shaped little balls floating in mid air in some kind of jelly, i stuck my hand out and expected them to disappear but they didnt, they actually reacted to being touched! i played with this goo like substance for about 20 minutes, splashing it all over the place. my friend thought i had finally went crazy as he watched me move my hands about in awe, not saying a word. after i was done playing with the goo hallucination, i layed down and went to sleep. in the morning i was so saddened to realize it wasnt real, that i was just tripping. i had some kind of connection to it that i miss to this day.

i havent done dxm or dramamine since this trip, because it was such a great trip i wanted it to be my last. i wouldnt recomend dramamine at all, or dxm for that matter (my ears still ring from it). its fun to try a few times, but feeling like shit gets old FAST.

i took 16 dramamine and i started to tripp but i was laying on the floor holding my stomach for an hour cause the pain was soo bad (i have a horrible stomach) so i decided to smoke some pot because that always makes my stomach feel better..well i did and it helped alittle i rather trip off of dxm its so much better

yeah, my friend took it about two years ago, and he had absolutely no short term memory. it was pretty freaky. ive taken it twice, and it wasnt all that great. i mean, its weird, and its totally a trip, but like others have been saying, its not a "fun" drug. you just trip balls. and the recovery time is horrible. the next day i felt like i was gonna throw up all day, and i was totally drained. no emotion or will to do anything. if you do take it, i recommend having a full day to yourself the next day to just rest. having some ganja nearby for the day after wouldnt hurt either.

07-20-2004, 06:36 PM

i have tripped on dramamine about 4 times and some of the times it was really fun while other times it was boring and nothing really happened. the 1st time i ever did it i only did about 8, and nothing happened, which is weird, bc i am a small girl and weigh about 110 lbs. but the next time i did it i think i did about 10, and man i was trippin hard! my friend was on coro, and it was so funny bc she had no idea wat the hell i was talking about. in my mind, i thought we were at work, then i thought i was playing a game of tic-tac-toe with her and asked her if she was an X or an O. after that she started talking about this guy named Corey, who've i only met once, and i started to tell her that he had came into work that night when he really didnt. i also told her that that day i had gone to Krystals with this girl that i hate and we bought hamburgers which also never happened. its a pretty fun drug to trip on. the only problem i have is staying awake, it makes me so tired sometimes that i dont want to move, if anyone has any ideas which could help me stay awake that would be great, bc im planning on doing it with my friend later this week! alright thanks

I cannot believe that you guys (not all of you guys), but some of you can sit there and bitch at me about mixing pychedelics when you are all eatin dramamine caps all the time. I love reporting to you the fact that a mixture of about ten different traditional pyschedelics would not cause as much damage, or be as dangerous as those pathetic dissociative trips

sweet sufferin' succotash...

it's a fucking OTC...
"over the counter" --- get it?
that means it's available in the cough & cold medicine section of your grocery store, pharmacy, apothecary, corner chemist (if yr a brit) without a prescription...

now if you really want to impress the pharmacist with your total doper coolness & savoir faire, be sure & ask him "how many ya need to eat to get reeeely fuktup, dude?"

antihistamine highs are generally considered to be very unfun (headwise) & very dangerous (healthwise)...

check out the goddamn OTC vault in the drug portion of www.erowid.org (http://www.erowid.org/) & seriously consider not doing this stuff, mmmkay?

(or at least have the number for the poison control center posted in a conspicuous place so somebody who can read (which won't be you if you be doin' up enough of this medicine to cop a righteous buzzon, dude!): or maybe even "911" (so you can remember the number for 911, just like homer ssimpson); & maybe think about pinning a note to your shirt or something with the name of exactly what you took & how many you took, so as to save time for the EMTs & ER folks who may end up trying to save your sorry ass...)

or not; see ya in the obits...

(somebody over at the shroomery i think described it as a poor-man's jimpson weed poisoning ---> now there's a solid recommendation for ya...)

I popped these pills so many times that i had to take at least 100 to get a good tripp going on. The last time i did it was when i popped 160 pills and i was completly wacked out. I did it on a friday nite and i dont remember anything that i did. My mom told me what all i did and i guess i was pissing in the corner downstairs and also bagging my head agaisnt the wall and blood was all over the wall. That monday i was coming down and i acutally new what i was doing but i was taking a test when all of a sudden my pencil jumped up and started taking to me. Thats the last time i have ever done it!

Dramamine is a fun and great drug, take about 500-700 mg of it and you will trip balls. Colors mesh and blend and swirl when the drug starts out. Then you will start really seeing shit, i mean Really seeing shit, youll be talking to people that arnt there but the good part of it is that when you get up and try to touch one of the hallucinations they dissapear on contact. If you take 1000mg or more of it they will not dissapear and you will feel anything that happens to you in your trip. I wouldnt recommened this but some people do it. Common things that people see are bugs, friends, relatives, dead people, zombies, demons, angels, smoking things that arnt there, anything that is in your memory you have a possibility of seeing

Yeah...well dude's entitled to his opinions/preferences, so don't go bashing him for that. HOWEVER, it is STUPID AS HELL to recommend that people try dramamine because it's "a fun and great drug". Just because you've had good experiences with it, it doesn't give you the right to go recommending something on a forum where you know dumb little kids are present.

I have eaten 1550mg of dramamine on numerous occasions. It wasn't fun, but it was interesting, to say the least.

xxcheesepuff977xx

11-22-2006, 04:58 PM

Yea...interesting...

I've taken dramamine a few times and never had an *entirely* bad trip. 1st time I had pretty bad nausea because i ate too soon before taking it...but it didn't stop me from trying it again.

2nd, 3rd, an 4th times weren't that bad. It was sort of obvious I was trippin on something and I was at school for 2 of those times, walking strange, getting lost, slurring my words...eh. Even had to talk to the principal (about unrelated shit). You DONT realize things aren't real though, unlike an acid trip. Depends on the person I guess....

But the body load does fucking suck.
