i like the gelcaps better. only drawback is they take like 90 mins to 2 hours to kick in. not sure if this matters, but i only use DXM to potentate the effects of OC, not to get a DXM high.
By far the pills are WAY better. Who the fuck wants to chug down thick nasty tasting syrup when you can just take pills? Aside from the nasy taste of the syrup, it makes you feel like puking, and if you do puke you've lost your trip and subjected yourself to the extremely unpleasant syrup for no reason. Lets say you manage to keep it down, you're going to have bad stomach aches and probably diarrhea, as well as generaly feeling sick/gross for the next couple of hours. Who wants to deal with all that, especialy when you're tripping? Oh, and because it takes so much longer to digest the syrup, you will trip for much longer (usualy you still feel not quite right most of the next day) but at a much lower level. Also, you will probably feel kind of sick the whole next day. The pills don't make you feel at all sick, don't make you want to puke, don't give you stomach aches or diarrhea. The effects are felt much sooner and all together creating a stronger trip. The trip is shorter, but that means you will feel absolutly fine the next morning even if you have to go to work. The only complaints I've ever heard about the pills is that you have to swallow so many of them. But I think I'd rather swallow any amount of pills rather than chug cough syrup. Besides, I've trained myself to swallow 10 pills at once, ant it wasn't hard to do.
Panzer's description of the difference between syrup and pills should not be taken as complete truth. My friends and I have had many many many trips with both syrup and pills. It really is a matter of personal preference. I have a friend that pukes every time he takes pills but can drink the syrup with no problems. Another friend can not drink the syrup because it is so thick so takes the pills. I am fine either way. Like I said, it's personal preference.
You're right that it is personal preference to some extent. However, DXM aside, for most people chugging a bunch of any kind of syrup will make them feel sick. If most people chug a bunch of maple syrup they would feel sick. I know if I sat down with the equivilent of any kind of syrup and tryed to chug it I would feel extremely ill, with all the efects I listed above. So, it is personal preference, but the vast majority of people would feel very ill if they chuged a good amount of any kind of syrup.
DXM HBr powder for the win. Stuff 800 or so milligrams into a gelcap (rather a few gelcaps) and be off. I couldn't even swallow or drink any of the OTC stuff ever again.
I've taken the syrup probably like 30-50 times, and eaten the pills atleast 20 or more. For me, the syrup is a better buzz for some reason. It changes it. The pills feel more vibratey, if that makes sense. The smell of that syrup can make me vomit from across the room now though.
ya but is the syrup as hard on your liver/kidneys as the pills are? im with you, there is no way i can chug that shit....
syrup is easy to drink. me and my friend would see who could down an 8oz first lol. he'd puke every time we did dxm but i never did except from pills once and zicam the other time (that shit made me feel SO sick and dizzy)
i feel very sick afterwards, but for some reason i never have any trouble drinking the syrup anymore. i can just chug it like it's nothing lol. not worth it tho. i HATE the feeling i get afterwards. it's been and always will be a mystery to me why i suddenly get extremely different effects from DXM than i used to. i used to love it and do it all the time. now, whenever i do it, it just makes me feel sick and have these horrible hot flashes that make me feel like i have a raging fire burning beneath my skin.
I like the pills better. I have no problem waiting for them to kick it, I like the excitement, each time you don't know exactly when it'll hit you so you'll be fine one second, and then the next, BLAST! The syrup is to hard for me to get down, and the taste is just purely fowl.....
The syrup is designed to be anti-abuse. It COULD taste like far less disgusting then it does, I'm sure of it.
id rather just take the syrup cause the pills take longer and you have to take anywere from 15-30 to get fucked up id rather just take a couple sips of some nasty syrup and get fucked up faster
I like the syrup actually. the first time I did dxm I did the pills and puked my brains out, and the high only lasted like 2 hours. on the syrup I stay up for a super long time, plus I just miss it with a fruit soda, and its not to bad. I absolutely love dxm.
