I'm thinking of trying DXM cough syrup this weekend and wanted to get some tips, I wish to aim for the 3rd plateau- down about 8oz. This will be my first experience with a dissociative, and though curious, I'm a bit nervous as to how safe or dangerous it actually is, I'd be doing in on like a bed or couch to attempt an out of body, and maybe just enjoy the effects for awhile. Would I be able to operate a computer/laptop to ask any questions if I needed to? What's a good way for a trip? Music? Just drift in your thoughts? If you take enough to hit a third plateau, I was confused whether or not you pass through the first two plateaus, or if it just falls to the third right away. And about how long is the "trip"? Update: Forgot to mention I have experience with MJ, LSD, LSA and I'm very comfortable on a low or high solo psychedelic experience
I did DXM for the first time around Christmas. It was my first dissociative as well and I got right around third platue by downing two of the smaller (5oz?) bottles. The high took forever to come on, like around 2 hours. It really didn't take off until I smoked some bud, then I started trippin balls. I had double vision, and everything was just so abstracted, like watching myself from a position just slightly behind and to the left. You could probably still use the computer, but you'll be moving around like a robot and probably talking with a 'robot voice' as well. I had a sober friend (my brother) around while I was tripping and I'm glad he was there, because I was stuck on the couch for the most part. I did have to tell him to cut off his violent video games though, because the violence was really edgy and scary like a bad trip. I'd recommend some set and setting prep. The Delsym syrup I used didn't sit well on the stomach, and I had a headache for like a day afterward, so Id say that taking DXM that way at least might have some negative effects on you. Might want to try an extraction first...
