DXM trip report

This is basically my account of the trip I experienced just hours prior. This was written "live", so I was on DXM most of the time I was writing it. I'm still coming down off DXM. So if grammar or w/e isn't exactly right, that is why. I think I hit 3rd plateau. Tolerance is a bitch.

I am planning another trip tomorrow or saturday, if by chance I hit sigma again because of being on dxm for an extended period, it will be interesting, but I don't think I will do a sigma trip willingly, at least for a while, just recovered from that shit.

After getting done with my court ordered drug class, which i have to attend on tuesdays and thursdays from 10am to 11:30am I head to walmart to cash some coins. I have been planning a dxm trip all week, so after walmart i head to cvs and pick up a 8oz bottle of the store brand syrup, DXM only 708mg total.

1:00 - About one o'clock i dose about half of the bottle, which amounts to about 360 mg(low dose for me) i think it may have been ever so slightly more than exactly half. The rest I will save to use later on. Now i spend the next 40 or so minutes at my computer reading trip reports. I decide i want music. I go to youtube and put on the beatles. There is a certain song that i want to hear but I'm not sure of the title, I think the dxm is starting to affect me. Eventually I find the song, it is come together by the beatles.

1:40 ~ About 40 minutes in i start to feel nauseous. Nauseous enough that i walked briskly to the bathroom. I did not throw up, although I think I could have had I not suppressed the urge to vomit and waited it out. The nausea passed and i returned to my room.

2:00 - DXM is definitely in effect, though only at first plateua level. Things look more shimmery than usual but no real visuals at this point. When i close my eyes the phosphenes are somewhat more pronounced but no real CEVs yet either. I play lucy in the sky with diamonds and watch the trippy video that accompanies the track.

2:13 - Getting ever so slightly itchy. I'm hoping this does not increase in intensity b/c robo itch kinda sucks. Becoming slightly annoyed with having the music go off, and then subsequently having to select another song to play...a playlist would have been nice but I never know what type of music I'm gonna be in the mood for. I make a change of music, I put on the song Harlem World by Big L, some east coast hip hop shit. Oldskool. Music seems to sound different slightly.

2:30 - I play some breaks music, Fatboy slim - Star 69 (Rogue Element Remix). Starting to think I'm not feeling enough, I know it can take around 2.5 hours to get peak effects but I am debating taking the rest now. I just didn't/don't want to be too fucked up around my parents when they come home between 5 and 6 o'clock. I think I'm gonna go outside and smoke a cigarette and see if that helps. While smoking I thought tried to make a comparison of the subjective effects of dxm vs. ketamine. Ketamine feels cooler i thought, while dxm feels warmer. I'm thinking of walking around outside, it is daytime so there will be people on the streets, but on this dosage I can pass for sober and not draw unwanted attention. Can't find my car keys, I'm not going to use the car, I'm going to walk but its just gonna bug the hell out of me if I leave without them, so I had to find them first. I'm gonna walk outside, I'm bored of this environment inside for now so I'm going to try something different, I just hope I don't end up spending money somewhere.

2:56 - I walk outside and begin walking. It had rained just earlier but cleared up by now so the sky was somewhat cloudy but still seemed quite bright to my eyes. My vision seemed to have an increased contrast ratio. I walked to the store and looked at the dxm aisle. I then walked through the store observing the various people. There was an attractive female I had noticed earlier walking toward me. I could tell she was checking me out but when I made eye contact with her and she detected that I knew she was checking me out she averted her eyes. I found this amusing. Upon exiting, I walked to the video store to check out the movies. I walked around for a bit but didnt have any particular movie in mind so I left.
35
3:15 - I return to my house. Really want to take the rest of the bottle now, but not sure if I can play off that dosage around my parents, and wondering if it will be unpleasant tripping that hard with them around and awake.

3:45 - Fuck it, I decide to take the rest of it. And I also take a single dramamine tablet with it, hopefully the antihistamine effect will combat the robo itch.

4:00 - Once again, I leave my home, this time to find a safe place to dispose of the syrup bottle, the "evidence" so to speak, I certainly don't want to throw it away in my own trash can or anywhere near my house for my parents to find...they think I am clean now. I walk to a street and throw the bottle behind some type of telco equipment. I remember how several times I would walk down this same street myself and see empty robo bottles and empty coricidin foil wrappers and kinda laugh to myself, hehe yea I can relate. When I return home I put on some heavy duty house music.

5:40 - Pretty dissociated, watching the TV show "Cops".

6:50 - Walked to the video store again, this time picking up the title "Scourge", a horror film.

7:35 - I drink the other 8oz bottle and wait, I decide to use the radio tuner on my laptop for now..

8:15 - I am laying down on my bed staring at the ceiling. The geometry of the room seems to change as it seems as if the ceiling was being pulled upward from above. I think about the last dose I took, and how hard it might hit me. I don't want to be unprepared if it does hit me very hard.

9:00 - Oh shit, its hitting me hard, i better get ready to have my mind blasted to smithereens

9:00 - I threw up. I could have held it down but i think I had some fear for how strong the trip would be so I went ahead and threw up.

9:28 - Definily expeeriencing visuals at this point. Typing is very difficult. Experience a variety of strange sensations.

11:02 - Decide I'm gonna go for another walk. A cop passes me, he proceedes slowly, clearly he is interested in me but I'm breaking absolutely no laws so he passes and doesn't hassle me.

12:00 - Midnight, I turn on some TV as I'm definitely coming down, actually almost back to baseline by now.

It is now 12:17 and I am down for the most part, kinda sleepy but don't think sleep will come yet, I have a hard time sleeping with any amount of DXM in my system. I didnt quite accomplish what I intended. I think I probably would have had a better experience if I had just waited until I would be undisturbed and take the whole dose at once.

 

so u chugged cough syrup, threw up, and felt fucked up..........nice trip report

 

GTFO. seriously.

nice trip report. its hard to describe what dxm does to you. it can be an interesting experience. however ive done up to 2000 mgs so anything lower now isnt as magical. i still trip but its nothing like when i first tried it. i also tend to get robo itch more often now and have never had robo itch back when i first did dxm.

if you hit 4th plateau or sigma, be prepared for a life-changing experience (or at least it will seem like it). when i hit sigma, i was in a total dreamstate and felt like i bonded with my cats and contacted aliens and shit. people talk shit on dxm but what makes any less credible than other synthetic hallucinogens?

 

yeah really high doses/multiple trips being on some REALLY weird shit. just watch out for urinary retention when going for sigma, doing dxm multiple times in a row tends to kick that in, more so than doing it once.

it's not any less credible, but it is important to recognize that instead of pushing your outside world forward like traditional psychedelics would, it pushes your internal structure forward in the opposite direction. dissociatives are really egotistical.

i consider it psychedelic because the word itself means "mind manifesting", and DXM definitely fits with that.

 

yes I have visited plateau sigma once, actually only about 2 weeks ago. Can't really put it into words in any way except I would say now I know how it feels to be truly psychotic. Pretty crazy shit, heard voices and had some pretty irrational delusions that were completely convincing at the time. I actually thought an entire day had gone by because (i thought) I had seen daylight come and then darkness so I thought it was the night after but it really wasn't. Also felt a profound presence or someone or something, seemed to be watching me. I wish I could describe it more but there really aren't any words.

 

haha that reminds me of a friend of mine who was robotripping in her dorm and there was a fire alarm, so she had to go outside with all of this chaos on the third plateau and she couldn't tell what season it was.

 

DXM's a dissociative, not a psychedelic, and a poor one at that.
Find a source for ketamine and you'll never bother with it again.

 

ketamine one of my favorites...dxm much cheaper though.

i guess i find dissociatives in general the most fascinating

 

your sig is a bottle of robotussin. go crawl in small cave and dont come out

 

quick question ...and dont go hating cause its about dxm...blah blah blah dxm sucks whstev i know but im in this tiny ass little town where you can barely get any weed let alone real drugs so i decided i was gonna try this..so question is if its the first time i am doing dxm how much should i take? ive done other psychedelic drugs but nothing like this..

 

yeah, and you're a fuckin douche. go crawl back up in your mother's ****. no one likes you. it seriously baffles me how you can be so fucking stupid.

 

i have to disagree... high doses of DXM aren't disappointing.

i have done ketamine plenty of times, and i'll admit that it feels much cleaner and more euphoric overall, but that doesn't mean DXM isn't worth it to a lot of people. i'm through with all dissociatives because the long term effects of overuse are pretty messed up.

and Jiva, it's probably best to start with around 300mg, which is a solid second plateau dose. there are tons of erowid reports so you should check those out. it sucks you can't find weed though, DXM and weed are maaaade to go together. once the DXM kicks in, if you light up a bowl, you can almost feel each individual particle of THC absorbing into your body and getting you wayy higher with each hit. this combination can get extremely intense, but once i smoked while on DXM i found that i just didn't feel right if weed wasn't involved.

to be honest i do miss my late nights with DXM, it became kind of a ritual and was something i grew really attached to.

 

jiva - if its your first time and your really interested in dxm, i would say about 300mgs.

make sure the only ingredient is dxm (dextromethorphan). other ingredients can either get you really sick or make for an uncomfortable experience. if you dont wanna choke down cough syrup, try and find robitussin cough gels. one bottle has 20 pills. 20 will equal to 300mgs.

 

^yeah and i just want to note that you need to avoid Coricidin Cough & Cold ("Triple C's"). NEVER do these, for some reason a lot of people take them but really it's incredibly stupid.

if you have a CVS around you, just go with the CVS generic of robitussin max strength cough (cheapest per dose that i've come across), but check the active ingredients anyway... it should only be Dextromethorphan Hbr. there are some bottles that say Dextromethorphan Polistirex, which wouldn't hurt you, but that's time release DXM... you don't want that for now, Hbr is the best to start with.

 

lol. fuck the haters, i hate it when people talk shit about dxm, dxm rocks IMO

 

thanks this is helpful

 

actually you might want to take a test dose of around 150mg or so... that won't be a strong trip (but you'll feel effects), it's just that some people have really bad physical side effects from DXM like terrible itching, feeling like you're burning up, etc. it just might be a good idea to see how you handle it, and if it looks good then you should go to about 300mg.

i never had problems but a friend of mine did 200mg and felt awful, so we were glad that he started pretty low.

 

yea that might be a good plan...thanks

 

well coming from a "caveman who binges on dxm", there are better drugs out there.

but dxm can be a very interesting substance.

 

just gotta lol at myself...freakin childproof bottles...so i took like 200mg about an hour ago and am feeling fine so decided to take another 100...apparently i had enough cause i seriously cant reopen the bottle lol
