DXM Question

I just bought a bottle of RoboTussin caps, and when I've read around, and when gelcaps were mentioned, everyone always talked about chewing them up or extracting from them. Do you HAVE to chew them up, or is it just recommended so it won't take as long to be absorbed into your system since they're broken?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I realize that it's all going one place and it's my stomach, but I just wanted to make sure.

 

I could be wrong but I think the caps may not be a good idea. Read the FAQ in the link I provided before ingesting anything that has DXM in it. You could die if you take the wrong stuff, many people have. If you know what you're doing you may have a good time. If you don't you could die.

This is the most important advice; ONLY EVER TAKE SOMETHING THAT HAS DXM AS THE ONLY INGREDIENT, NOTHING ELSE!!!

Ace, psuedo, etc. those are all bad things and in combination with dxm have killed many people. Read those bold words above a few times before you read what's in the link below. I believe those caps are chewed, but check the ingredients first.

Robotussin caps are fine. It's just DXM in there.

You can chew it if you want, but the reason people take the caps instead of downing a bottle of syrup is to avoid the taste. If you want the DXM to get absorbed faster without breaking them open just drink a hot beverage like coffee or tea when you take them. I'd reccomend decaf. The hot liquid will make the gel melt much faster.

Here's another neat trick for experianced robotrippers. About 2 hours before you dose, drink some pomengrante juice (Pom is best, since it's 100% pom juice and not diluted) and/or eat a grapefruit. Something about lining your innards with that stuff helps your body metabolize it better and you go much higher. But... if you aren't experianced it can easily take you too high and cause a bad trip.

Be careful with DXM, I love that shit... but it has a bad rap for good reasons.

 

damn. i wanna try dxm but i never have the chance.
its always locked behind some pharmacist and i dont have a valid reason to get one.

 

Nothing to add to what lunarverse and Sam_Stoned said, just going to reiterate that you should always check the active ingredient list to confirm. It should only be dextromethorphan if it's the Robo caps, so you should be good to go, but take a look to make sure.

 

I have read all of that lol I went onto a DXM website and saw a picture of the gelcaps I was planning on getting and found them at CVS. The only active ingredient was the DXM Hbr so I'm good there. I'm only doing gelcaps because the last two times I tried with Delsym, I almost puked. Even just thinking about the artificial orange flavoring and consistency of the syrup makes me gag. D:

I also have another question! (better than making another thread)

The 4 times I've done DXM, I have an after effect where I feel like..dizzy..and every time I wake up I feel like I'm still dreaming =o Has anyone else ever had this happen before and for so long? It lasts between 5-8 days for me and it kinda scares me because I feel like I'm going to have that feeling with me forever (5 days feeling weird would make anyone freak a bit, im sure)

I don't know I do admit I have a very weak mind and I'm scared of a lot of things. I'm very co dependent and a weakling by nature. =/

 

Then I'd reccomend you experiment with psychedelics rather than dissociatives. You want to face up to and own your weaknesses, and a good tryptamine is what Dr. Stoned reccomends.

 

I personally think that would make me go crazy though..I mean I FREAK OUT on weed. Last three times I smoked I was just so paranoid and thought I was dying, and I've never been like that. During one of those times, my reflection talked to me D:

I did buy shrooms one time and ate half the little bag, only to find out later that the girl who gave them to me said the guy who got them for her just went into the woods and picked some random shrooms. I could have died if they were poisonous. ;[ Lost $40 but the girl gave me a blowjob to make up for it hahaha.

DXM has always been a good experience for me, and I hope to keep that record :]

 

I like blowjobs. Good story.

 

That's a lot. I did DXM once and I was shocked at how long the comedown lasted. Even after I could safely say I was no longer tripping, I didn't feel back to baseline until after I woke up the next morning. Still felt cloudy, dissociated, a little uncoordinated, just medicated would be the best way to describe it. It's unusual to have a hangover for more than a day afterward.

Do you drink a lot? How's your diet? Take any prescribed meds or anything else you can think of?

As for your last statement, take it easy with psyches and dissociatives. It's easy to fall into a bad trip, it's even easier to lose your mind if you don't know how to handle one.

 

I always wake up the day after a DXM trip feeling unbelieveably crisp and refreshed.

 

Well aren't you just the ideal incarnation of diet Dr. Pepper

 

No one believes I exist.

I've only drank 4 times in my life, and my diet at the time was just whatever haha. And I'm actually very healthy. I don't take any meds and i got sick only around once a year, if that.

And yea I've never actually done any trippy drugs; also my friend and I make sure to only do DXM at least 2 months after the last time. I've just had a bad experience with wee a few times and JWH-018 once. I don't plan on doing those anytime soon.

 

That's normal. Everyone responds to substances differently. Certain times I've done it it lasted a day or two, one time it lasted 4-5 and I was worried I'd be in the dream forever. It goes away. Just remember to stay hydrated, that's a big deal when you do dxm, always remember that you've taken a drug and that it will pass, and don't worry too much. Have a friend online or one that you can call if you start to freak out. It's always good to have an anchor back to reality, it's helped me before. Someone who's calm and won't encourage needless worrying or mindless jargon.

 

Yeah, JWH makes a lot of people freak out. Sounds like you might just be extra sensitive to a lot of substances. With repreated exposure you should be able to get a handle on your anxiety, but don't push it if you don't want to. Weed made me anxious when I first started smoking and it still does whenever I let my tolerance go down. Listen to your body and mind. Stay safe.

 

Thanks :] Every time I have done DXM, it's been with the same friend so he'll be there and I'm only going 2nd plateau again because that's where I'm most comfortable. My friend hopes to go to 4th though and I'm kinda concerned because if something happens, I wouldn't be sober and whatnot so I'm currently asking him to only go to 3rd again >.> he's a lot more calm and collect though haha he does JWH a few times a week, and can down Delsym like it's his job lol I don't know how he does it Xp

 

This. I remember the first time I woke up. I felt almost like I was reborn. Like I was able to start everything over. Me and my friend were so giddy and just amazed about the night before.

*insert nostalgic moment here*

His house had the SOFTEST CARPET!! It was like a shag rug in a 70's van, and the whole night we crawled on all fours while listening to my mix of things like Tool, Halo music, The Sound of Animals Fighting, Thrice, etc. :] weird, but awesome haha

 

Wait, Ive got a question in relation to capsul Robo: is it as harmful to your system as the liquid? To my understanding the liquid is horrible for your liver and can cause serious damage if abused. Is that true?

 

Yes it is, but it's only really hard on your liver if there's bad shit in it; i.e acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, never take stuff that has these in it along with dxm. You could die. Many have.

Cough syrup is a little hard on your digestive system as it's so thick, large amounts of it can be hard to digest. Also, it's not really broken down by your stomach acids, it is instead absorbed my your intestines (mostly the large I believe). That's why after drinking enough of it one can expect very bad bloating, gas, and abdominal cramps. It's best to boil it as a means of extracting the powder. I can't recommend obtaing the powder itself because as far as I know that's illegal, when bought in powder form it's rather obvious one is not buying it for a sore throat.
