After seeing over 10 threads on DXM appreciation i felt the need to post this... I discovered DXM when i was 16... And like most people I fell in love with it. That was my first mistake. The First 6 Months: i used Dex roughly once a week; always weekends. During this time i climbed from 200mg doses(135lb body weight) to nearly 600mg's. Trip Experience: Mind heavy, almost uncontrollable, slurred speech, mild hallucinations in a dim/dark environment, very light/sound sensitive, extremely friendly. The Following 6 months: Now i was starting to use Dex more frequently, usually 8-10 times a month... I had become comfortable with using 354mg's [One 4oz 15mg per 5ml Bottle] while going to school or being out in public. Trip Experience: Euphoric, clouded sense of reality, Speedy, lack of muscle fatigue The final 6 months: In effort to save a little money and avoid my now high tolerance i started potentiating my Dex with Grapefruit juice and later pomegranate. I was now using dex 3-5 times weekly each time having to drink at least a full 8oz glass of grapefruit or 4oz of pure pomegranate. Trip Experience: Euphoric and speedy, extremely clouded and risky behavior I quit after a family intervention that involved the police. I wasn't physically addicted, yet the physiological addiction was overwhelming. It took some serious thought of how it was changing my personality even while off the drug. And finally the realization that the way i was using it was ultimately destroying my life. DXM Warnings & Advice: Never take it more then 3 times a month; even 3 a month is pushing it. Trip in secluded places (Your house) Potentiating with grapefruit/pom juice while still able to trip from 350mg's will cause increased tolerance.. Trip with close friends; it's a wonderful bonding While tripping avoid deep conversations with others who aren't, you may say some things you would later regret. This is NOT an anti-depressant, don't use it like one. Overall I would say Dex is a suitable recreational drug if used with caution... Don't make this wonderfully friendly hallucinogen turn into a euphoric pick-me-up. Learn from my mistakes
my dxm tolerance is through the roof now. i drank 4 5oz bottles of delsym recently. this should have made me trip out hardcore. instead i tripped for maybe a few hours and then i just looked like living death. pupils dilated to the max, deathly pale, etc. when i walked around people were looking at me like i was some weird ass zombie or something
Meh doing DXM 3-4 times a week for a little bit didn't give me any problems at all. Then sometimes I won't touch it for months. But the tolerance SUCKS, I miss those magical effects that I used to get (I still do but not to that extent).
3-4 times a week??? Whoa thats intense. I usually do 1 heavy dose every month or so, and mix it with grapefruit juice. Abusing it just kills the "magic", Let your body recover!
i agree with the OP i also fell in love with it around 16 and started using it every day at first it was around 200-300 mg's then later on i got up to 600-800mg. did this for about a month with maybe a week break and then back on it i would also take large amounts of dramamine while on it, really fucked my shit up. but to each their own in these cases, some people get addicted to it and some people don't i for sure in this case loved it and couldn't stop.
i stick to 2 small dose trips (600-750) a month or 1 high dose trip (800-1100) a month. i cant trip off of a single bottle anymore. a get a minor trip and hit the SOBER in a few hours
