DXM (My first attempt) ..and two questions.

Before I get into it, the only hallucinogens I've done before was shrooms.

Ok, so my very first attempt. I used the completely wrong syrup. I used Nighttime Robitussin Cold & Cough (don't do this). I'm lucky I didn't vomit or have any side-effects from this (grateful!), BUT I did trip. I took 4oz of the bottle, and mixed with Sprite. I read that it varies how long the effects take to come on due to weight, how fast you consume, and how much you consume. I downed it.

An hour later, things felt different to the touch, I started to notice slight visuals (lights were brighter and lights had this weird dark shadow around them), so I checked in the mirror and my pupils were indeed dilated. I was somewhat excited, (I didn't think this was going to work at all) but by the time it kicked in the medicine had me sooo sleepy.

I ended up falling asleep maybe thirty minuets after the trip started, I couldn't really sleep that well.. and I remember one of the many times that I woke during the night, and I looked up at the smoke detector and the green light was doubled, I stared at the ceiling fan (which was turned off) for a sec and it was doubled for a second, then molded into one weird star shaped object, and the ceiling fan was traced by faint colors. I want to say at that point, I was more than half way through the 1st plateau, which I as I remember that was my peak. (I want to add that while my eyes were closed to go to sleep, visuals were somewhat moderate)

Don't really remember anything else. I plan on trying again with the correct syrup (on a lot of sites I hear a lot of users say pills are better?), and I've done a lot more research about it. Now, I was wondering if anyone here could recommend a dosage that's around my weight and height. I'm 6'1 and about 210lbs. I know that there's a method to calculating doses, due to height and weight for the desired plateau reached, I just can't find it anywhere. And does mixing it with juice or soda reduces potency? Any suggestions, advice, answers are appreciated. Thanks.

 

Yeh use robotussin cough gels, also if u are going to use syrup make sure the only active ingredient listed on the box is DXM. Id recommend for your first dose take around 200-300mg and if its not enough take more the next time you use it. DXM can be a powerful drug and taking to much can lead to things like blackouts etc so your better off working your self up to higher dosage. Dont mix the syrup with sprite or juice its still going to be fucking disgusting just drink it straight up and no if you do mix it the potency will not be reduced lol.....

 

I've done tussin more times than I'd like to admit.

You weigh more than me, but I'd say about 2-3 bottles will have you right where you wanna go. lol

And as for the taste, the best way to deal with that it to take it in two big gulps as fast as you can, and that gargle water. That will take the taste out of your mouth 100%, I give you my word.

Don't mix it with shit, just gargle water after, you may even want to take a sip to push some of the residue down your throat and get it off the back of your tongue.

I used to drink soda with it (not mixed, but as a chaser) and I believe to does reduce the effects.

And if you're drinking bottles be sure to get Robotussin Cough, or if they don't have that get Cough and cold. They have 15mgs of DXM per 5ml while the others I've seen only have 10.

You can take three man, no doubt. Space them out a bit if you need to.

 

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the responses.

Yeah, I kinda figured that with the mixes, I almost felt like things would have been more intense without the Sprite. And yeah, the shit's nasty anyway you take it, lol. I definitely will just gargle with water next time.

I don't plan on trying again for another week or so, so I'm trying to get as much advice on it as possible. I think I know enough about it now to have a fun, safe trip, but I like to hear what people's own experience has been like and their method.

Again, thanks.

 

My advice..get some DXM Hbr powder man. Fuck all the extras. If you can get it that is, otherwise just be safe and good luck!

 

Thanks, man.

 

i still dont understand why anyone would take cough syrup when they make the gelcaps...

i took 26 gelcaps (about 400mg) and tripped really hard, it was probably too intense, im not a huge fan of dissociatives to begin with. but anyway if you wanted to take robogels than you could probably take like 35-40? (you're about twice my weight, so im assuming that would be twice the dosage but maybe im totally wrong)

i used this calculator to figure out my dosage (and then took more haha but i'd defintely follow the chart here):
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/dxm_experience.shtml#toc.5

scroll down until you see table 1, it'll have the dosage range for each plateau. keep in mind that the gelcaps they use for the table are 30mg each, not 15

based on that chart it seems like 40 15mg gelcaps (600mg) would be a pretty decent second plateau trip, but you might want to take a little less if you dont want to enter the third plateau (it is much more disorienting)

 

Yeah, I actually found that on Erowid today because I'm thinking about trying it again in a few days. But yeah, pills just aren't my thing. It would take me so long to take them. I'd much rather just gulp, I felt absolutely no nausea, so.. but yeah, I'm going to go for about 300mg-500mg, and see what happens. I'm hoping for a high first, low second experience. I want to pace myself.

 

Think is with the syrup. Maybe it was from an extra additive..

But once I drank about 3 bottles and I spend about 1/4th of my trip in the bathroom shitting water. Not pleasant. But afterward I did feel like my colon had been power washed.

 

Haha.. yeah, I actually can understand that. During my trip I was giving the toilet hell, but it really didn't hit me until the morning after. Is there anything that can make this a little better? I plan on downing a little orange juice about fifteen minuets before I chug and about fifteen minuets after. I hear Vitamin C really helps with the stomach problems.

 

I've done DXM a good few times, and it only happened to me twice. So I think it might be from grabbing just any tussin. Or drinking too much.

I plan on buying some online and tripping fucking balls. Eat a strait gram of the shit.

 

Damn. How much DXM is in a gram?

 

A gram. lol

Edit: A gram might be too much. I am going to research safe dosage before I actually do it, and I recommend you do to. I'm just saying I plan on taking large doses.

 

Yeah, I worded that wrong. Haha..

 

I got to the 3rd platau from 840mgs of dex, but now i question mucinex becasue the maximum strenth has 60mgs a pill but it also has 1200 of that guststophan stuff or whaterver it is that makes me barf insanly, and do any of yall know if dexalone is good or or the cvs tussin?

btw, the 3rd platau was both scary and fun

 

Just get Robo cough gels. The only ingredient is DXM, they're cheap, and it make measuring doses very easy(I believe each pill is 15mg).

Granted, you need to knock back a lot of pills which have an unpleasant taste and smell, but it's better than chugging the syrup. 3rd plateau can be rough; really depends on your surroundings and state of mind going into it.
