All of your DXM questions answered and warnings about CCC's

I am sick of reading the same old questions about DXM because some people are too lazy to do their research. So, I am going to go off on a tangent about DXM and provide a useful link at the end. Bear with me and you might learn a couple of things.

What is DXM? DXM stands for Dextromethorphan and is found in cough medicines. DXM is a dissociative similar to PCP and Ketamine, although it is legal. Taking DXM recreationally is usually called "robotripping."

The highs are based on four plateaus, the third and fourth ones often resulting in intense experiences for most, often including intense hallucinations and out-of-body experiences. REMEMBER, drugs are always dependent upon the individual taking them and SEVERAL people have had bad experiences with DXM and will never touch it again.

I'm not going to get into specifics with the plateaus and the dosage it takes to get to each one since the link I will provide in the end contains detailed information of such.

The high lasts a LONG time. It can last upwards of TWELVE hours. So don't take DXM and think it's going to be a little 15-minute high like cocaine.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW--ESPECIALLY FOR ALL OF YOU MORONS BRAGGING ABOUT TRIPLE C'S--YOU'LL BE DEAD SOON.

AVOID cough syrups that have gauifenesin, common in Robitussin DM, since it'll cause vomiting.

AVOID sources of DXM with other active ingredients since they commonly may have acetaminophen (liver damage, anyone?) as an active ingredient.

AVOID triple C's (Coricidin). I have sorted through a lot of material the past few hours, and a lot of people out there are taking triple C's for recreational use. "Many deaths or psychotic breaks have resulted from recreational use of Coricidin. It contains a drug called chlorpheniramine maleate and taking more than the recommended dose of Coricidin can be highly hazardous. Coricidin has been linked to at least twelve deaths in the United States from chlorpheniramine maleate overdose. It SHOULD NOT be used recreationally! Coricidin has a track record of causing deaths and hospitalizations in upper first plateau doses, even among those who have been using it for years." (source - http://www.v72.org/dxm.html)

ALWAYS RESEARCH YOUR DRUGS PEOPLE! HERE'S WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU OPT FOR DXM:

Stick to either Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough or Drixoral Cough Liquid Caps, or any generic equivalent. The key is that the ONLY active ingredient is dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXM HBr).

If you're like me and can't even bear the thought of downing the syrup, take the caps. Yeah, the high will take longer to come about and the pills can suck to swallow, but it'll still be worth it.

And robotripping is fine...about once a month or so. To do so frequently can and will cause severe brain damage. So use in moderation, junkies.

And, for first-timers...START slow. DO NOT go straight for that fourth plateau. It'll be hell. Go for a nice second plateau. You'll get to that third and fourth one a couple more tries later. And DO NOT take so many mg and then decide a couple of hours later that it isn't working and take more mg. THIS ALWAYS HAS UNPLEASANT EFFEFCTS. You will reach your peak, just give it time.


(Again, for dosage recommendations, I will be posting a link. Be patient!)

Finally, always practice and play safe. I recommend a sitter. If you hit that third or fourth plateau, it can be dangerous because you get pretty tripped out. Be around someone who knows what you're doing if at all possible in case something bad were to happen. Unless course you want to die, then yeah who cares I guess.

If you have mental illness and take DXM FYI: you're more likely to experience a bad trip.

16 year-olds looking for a good time--most places card for DXM. Have your brother or mom buy it.

And seriously--if you have a bad experience, which the probability is 1 out of 3--be prepared. Several who have a bad experience report severe personality changes for months, sometimes years, at a time.



Play safe kids. I posted this because I want to educate some of you out there who are reading things on this very forum that triple C's are the shit and handing out other misinformation. Hopefully a few of you find it useful.

Sorry that this ended up being so long. And I don't mean to sound preachy; I really just want everyone to practice safely.

http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/dxm_faq.shtml -- This is the best, most detailed DXM site I've been able to find. It even has testimonials of people's good and bad experiences. Scroll down about half way and you'll see a table of contents. Sort through it and have a good time. Cheers.

 

Coricidin Cough & Colds don't have acetaminophen. They have chlorpheniramine maleate. Chlorpheniramine maleate causes bleeding in pretty much every bodily opening you have if you use in VERY high doses, or are EXTREMELY sensitive. Know your body, if all you can get is CCCs start out with like 6, if shit goes wrong don't use them again. For me, I've popped 16 with no problems, just an extremely fun trip. My ex-boyfriend popped 25 with also no problems. Everyones body will react differently. Know yourself.

 

Thanks. I fixed it. I was confused slightly because the website that I read that off of refers to other DXM sources than just Coricidin as CCC's (some of which do contain acetaminophen) and I didn't notice the difference until I just verified what you wrote via google.

I still stay avoid them though. Chlorpheniramine maleate sounds risky and that's just it--you can't really know your body until you ingest it and by then it may be too late. Definitely start off slow if you must take Coricidin, but even still--just because you're fine with 6 doesn't mean your body will tolerate 20 later on. It's too hard to project and too much to lose when you could hopefully find the other items I suggested as a somewhat 'safer' alternative. But if whoever's reading this doesn't mind the gamble, then go for CCC's. Just not my personal choice.

 

a note: some people have even used nyquil... they are idiots.
it is terrible for you and the effect it has on you is unpleasant as hell.

 

FUck i did 12 and i had a bleedinmg nose and didnt know :'(

 

Because you're an idiot. Stay away from the drugs until you hit at LEAST 16

 

Fuck DXM, some people like it, I can't stand it any more, when i messed around with it a couple years ago my grades dropped to shit. And i decided that even if it is a cheaper alternative it's not worth it.

 

wtf you cant tell someone what to do, and its not like hes gonna listen to you.

 

well I'm too messed up any ways already so its okay.

 

Too many people hear somehow that you can get high of cough syrup so they chug a bottle of whatever they find without a thought. WHENEVER you try a new drug, do some research! Just another point, for someone whos never tried it go with 300mgs, although this could be quite a light dose, you want to test how your body will react. after that go 4.5mg/kg to 6mg/kg for a better dose. Hitting third plateu will probably take alot more, and if you plan on taking a third plateu trip think about it and prepare. 800-900mgs will probably be needed so make sure you have some antacids for the stomach, and a trip sitter; this stuff can be wild. Have a good time and stay safe.

 

i would definitely agree. CCC's are ridiculously dangerrouuuss
so im a girl about 5'2" and 120 lbs.
i went on like a month long binge where i was taking anywhere from 25-50 a day depending on how many i could get.

i got ALOT of injuries that i didnt notice until i was sober;
i couldnt eat;
lost wayy tooo much weight [dropped down lower than 100lbs at one point];
and had a few blackouts
along witha few hospital visits and random scars/broken bones

so id reccommend trying other drugs that are MEANT to be drugs, not dumbass triple c's that basically fuck you.

 

To O P.. you can tell all that stuff to em... their gona take shit that fucks their body up... anyways...

 

wow i was into dxm really bad did 48 ccc then quit doing ccc and started doing zicam and delysum ccc was a fun trip though

 

dude grow some balls
