Thinking of trying DXM?? First time report here with advice!!

I am going to get to the details of my trip soon enough but for any people thinking about trying this drug I wish to give you the following advice.
1. Don't go into this lightly. Start low, see if you like it and then next time try more if that is what you want to do.
2. Research on doses and plateau's. There are numerous reports on here to read. I class myself a fairly experience tripper with other psychadelic's but this one caught me out at what I thought would not be a high dose.
3. Read people's advice on how to enjoy the trip. It can go wrong pretty quickly but can be put right.

So, due to a lack of lsd and mushrooms around my area I have had an enforced abstinence from tripping. It was whilst surfing the net I became aware of DXM and after reading about it for a couple of months I decided to give it a go. I went to a few chemists but was unable to find the right cough medicine in high enough doses so a little more research and I was able to buy pure DXM delivered by 1st class straight to my door.

DXM is a white cystaline powder. It has a chemical taste. I used the toss and wash technique (put it on my tongue and washed it down with squash). Probably my first mistake as the taste wasnt nice and for the first hour I had a numb tongue. I had no accurate scales but worked out what I thought was around 600-700mg. I am a fairly big male and the calculator said my dose should have been 680mg for a high second plateuau trip. The trip went something like this.

+0.45 - A slight head buzz. Hard to describe definately not baseline, but definately not high either. Feeling quite nauseus, but not in a way that I am going to be sick.
+1 - Thinking this is going to be rubbish. Still not high but feeling quite rough. Watching football on television, time appears to be moving slowly. Wave my hand in front of my eyes and think that I am getting slight trails Could possibly be my imagination. Decide to get a packet of crisps to ease the stomach. I stand up and sit straight back down again. My vision feels like I am looking through a bubble. I try to walk and I am wobbly down the corridor. Get the crisps and am glad to sit down after. At this point I think this is the trip and am disappointed.
+2 - Still the same as +1 until I touch my forehead. It feels numb. I touch the rest of my face and that feels numb. My skull does not seem to be connected to my brain. I know it is, it just feels as tho it isnt. At this point, I physically and mentally feel that I have jumped up a plateau. I spend a time feeling my skull. I can feel me touching it, but it as far as my brain is concerned I might have been touching a plank of wood on my head. I guess this is what they mean by disassociative. I then feel heavy, so lie down.I feel a cross between being drunk, stoned and on acid. At this point I giggle and think this is quite nice. I am lying flat down on a sofa but my head feels raised compared to the rest of my body. My arms and legs feel that heavy and my mind tells me that they are no longer connected to my mind. This seems like the truth to me but I try to move my arms and am able to do this quite easily. Glad I went to the toilet now so I dont have to stand up again. Very thirsty but have a pint of squash already prepared.

2-4hrs. The television is on, I am watching it but it is hard to follow. The nausea has gone. I am definately full blown tripping. There is zero visual hallucinations but my mind if definately somewhere else. I am having very profound spiritual thoughts. I am able to perfectly see that the spirit and the mind are two separate entities and realise that if I do not get on with somebody, it is because our spirits are not matched. My reality in which I live appears to be a lot smaller to me and I believe that I can manipulate it if I want to. At this point my thoughts become uncomfortable and I decided to call my friend to let him know how I was getting on. I found it very hard to talk. I knew what I wanted to say but the words were coming out slowly and slurred. My mate was very understanding asking if I was alright. I must have sounded really bad because he asked if I had anybody with me.
At this point things went a little downhill. I started getting paranoid about the previous phonecall I had made. To take my mind off things I go on facebook and one of my friends status really does my head in. Looking back, it was nothing now, but at the time it sent my paranoia spiralling out of control. At this point, not enjoying the trip.
My wife then walks though the door. She has an issue with drugs that I have taken so I have not told her about what I am doing. We exchange greetings and she walks off to the kitchen. I am worried that she can tell that I am on something. She comes back and sits down across from me and watches television. I watch the television with one eye, and her with the other to see if she is watching me. I seem to have pulled it off. I want to go upstairs but there is a problem. My charger for my laptop is down the side of the chair she is sitting on, and I dont want to stand up in front of her let alone lean over her so I wait. Eventually she goes to the kitchen so I grab my charger, laptop and escape upstairs. I can hardly walk, I feel like I am walking in a cross between a fun house and a bouncy castle. I shut the door and I feel relieved to flop onto my bed. Although the paranoia was not nice it sure does make for an exciting trip.
I need something to calm me down so put youtube on and search for relaxing meditation and the first page that comes up is perfect. I lie there and my thoughts run away with me. Again, all to do with spirits, God and life. When the music gets to what I thought was a nice part my thoughts go really nice and I experience moments of understanding. I try a different page which does not have the desired effect so go back to the previous one. I listen to this for half an hour
+4.5 - I physically and mentally feel that I have dropped down a plateau. I am now in control of my thoughts but feel like I have a hangover from the upper plateau in respect that I am still having some strange thoughts. I decide I will try and get some sleep now but find it very difficult.
+5-6 - Still awake and still thinking. Get up and go to the toilet. My walking is still just as bad as before and it is a relief to get back into bed after. From descriptions Robowalking seemed quite fun, but I am definately not a fan.
+6 - 12 Sleep. Normal sleep although did wake up a bit more than normal.
+12 Lie in bed for a couple of hours watching tele before getting up for work. Go to the toilet and my walking and vision is still bad. Have a bath and something to eat. Feel a bit better but worrying about work as I am still slightly tripping.
+24 - Still slightly tripping but it is getting less and less as the day goes on. Encountered people at work who do not seem to notice anything but luckily I can keep myself to myself.

All in all I would say that I am glad I did this but it is not something I would do again. If I could turn back time, I would have done a lesser dose. I have taken big doses of lsd in the past and the mind tripping off this I would say was comparable. Personally, I think I got more than what I was expecting!!!

 

Don't do a third plateau dose if anybody is going to be around you don't want to know your on something. I could walk on a third plateau but barely, my friend couldnt even stand up so he crawled around on his hands and knees.
