ok so ive decided I am going to try DXM for the first time(probably tomorrow because that would be my last chance to do it before I go to Disneyworld with the family, but I could always do it when I come back ), I have been looking up info on Erowid for a few days and it seems like a cool experience, so I picked up some Robitussin Cough Gels (pack of 20) today but I still got a few things that are unclear to me... Dosage: im looking on hitting the second plateau for my first trip and the pills are 15mg each, im not a very big guy(115lbs) and im thinking of taking 14 for a total dose of 210mg. The only other drug I have done (other then weed) is Shrooms (twice) first time didn’t go too well, second time was freaking awesome though I understand DXM is a totally different drug, just wondering how big of difference/jump it is from shrooms. How should I prepare myself? Just wondering what some of your methods are... I am doing it alone for my first time(in my room) my parents will be home(but will be sleeping for most of the time, but my bro will be awake but doesn’t normally bug me. My parents are the kind of people who give long lectures when they find out im drunk, don’t really want to find out what they are like if im on something else... just wondering if its easy for people to know if your flying on it or is it easy to control(talk normally).. I know there is a possibility with pupil dilation, but just wondering how many people encounter it? If it is fairly hard to control, I think I will reconsider and do it another time And finally: tell me about your experiences(good/bad/etc) and if you have anything to add (music, movies or any other suggestions) it would be appreciated
DXM's a good drug. The only thing I don't like about it is how a few days to weeks after the experience I feel sort of dumb. Literally. Ah. You're almost the same weight as me. I'm 120. 10 cough gels is what I normally take for a really nice first plateau. I'd say 14 is a pretty good dose if you want to try to go second. On DXM (and especially at the first and second plateaus) you're not gonna see anything. No hallucinations, no nothing. Your vision might be a bit blurry and you may see some very minute visuals but I doubt it. Shrooms are a whole different experience. For a first plateau I really don't prepare at all; I just take the dose and go on to do whatever I had planned. The first and second plateaus are pretty easy to control, although there's a bit of paranoia that comes along with the experience. The hardest thing to control on DXM is your movement, which, if you're staying in your room the whole time, shouldn't be a problem. Talking should be normal, but I always find that when I speak, in my mind, I think that I'm talking very weirdly, when, in actuality, I'm speaking no different than I do sober. You may think (falsely) that when you're speaking your voice is too high or too low, that you're mumbling, or that you're speaking in some weird tone. Pupil dilation is there. Not really big, but it's there. The experience is sort of like being drunk and being high, I guess. The best music is whatever you like. The first (and maybe second) plateaus have quite the stimulating effect, at least for me they did. You may get up and dance to stuff and bob your head with energy or whatever. Just play music that has a lot of background sound. Trance is good. Just experiment with songs while you're on it. Just make sure you're feeling happy before you take it.
honestly, if you want to have fun for the first time you try DXM, take 20 cough gels - 300mg. i think taking 10 would be a waste of time, you wouldnt really get that much out of it. i did 10 cough gells my first time and i didnt think it was that great. high doses of DXM like 550mgs - 650mgs for me are like being underwater, it feels pretty crazy. high doses of DXM can be pretty intense, but lower doses are like being kinda drunk like he said. DXM dosnt even compare to shrooms though, shrooms are so much better. and you know what you're doing basicly all the time on DXM. since you're doing a low dosage for your first time, you'll be ok. As far as being in your room the whole time, thats probly a good idea since you've never done it before. and i dont listen to music while on DXM cuz it hurts me head, idk about you tho. yeah, thats all.
10 isn't a waste of time. I get a lot out of 10 gels. 14 isn't a waste of time. Especially if it's his first time. 300mg is too much for a first time. timetimetime
one of my favorite things on dxm is listening to music! make sure you get some good songs. i can like feel the music through my chest and the base like moves my body. its pretty sweet!
i dropped 20 my first time and i liked it a lot actually. just about the right dose for the first time if you dont have much experience with psychoactives
I'd take all 20 of the pills. Make sure they don't have acetimethorphan (sp?) or guiffasin (sp?) though, since the first will kill you, and the second will make you puke/get the shits. At a dose of 300mg, you may or may not have trouble controlling yourself. The biggest problems, for me atleast, was that I would talk too loud, and walk weird. DXM will make you act like the characters in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, if you allow it to (i.e., say weird shit, make weird hand movements, etc). You should be able to control yourself. And personally, I think DXM is better than shrooms. I never got real strong auditory and visual hallucinations on DXM like I did on shrooms, but DXM all around makes your body and mind feel "higher". Then again though, I regulary did 500+mg, all the way up to 1100mg. The best music would be almost any Pink Floyd (especially Piper at the Gates of Dawn), The Doors, anything like that. And the best movies would be Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Apocalypse Now (can be scary on DXM), or Snakes on a Plane. Hope you enjoy DXM as much as I have.
Shit TNS, if i were 26, id kick it at disney land also... ive never been there tho. If its with the Family then i can understand tho.
