First time DXM users BEWARE

For those of you who don't know, 3% of white people have an enzyme deficiency (CYP2D6) which means that they are unable to metabolize DXM like normal people do, which makes it MANY times more potent for them...

A few days ago a friend of mine wanted to try DXM for the first time, and everyone was telling her to dose around 250 mg her first time at school, but thankfully I warned her about the enzyme deficiency and gave her around 60mg in a capsule as a tester dose, which got her VERY fucked up.

From what she explained, she hit the second plateau and stayed there for a while from that. To anyone considering trying DXM your first time, make sure you take a 50-75 mg testing dose to see if you have this enzyme deficiency. Even though the chances are that you won't have this, it's better to be safe than sorry because if this girl had taken 250mg she would have been FUBAR.

 

i think i might have that enzyme deficiency, i take 60 mg and i get wasted and i don't like the buzz it gives me
the odd time i mix 20 mg of DXM with my daily 100 mg methadone dose, it seems to boost the buzz i get from the methadone but the DXM doesn't over power the methadone

 

dxm is VERY bad for you.. you are best to stay away from it

 

Will keep it in Mind thank You

 

I hate the people that go on a drug forum thread for the sole purpose of informing everyone that whichever drug is being talked about is bad... don't bother dude nobody is going to listen to you

Actually DXM is one of my favourite drugs; I like it far better than any opiate or stimulant I've tried - which is a considerable amount.

Unlike most drugs where once it wears off you crash - DXM makes me feel WONDERFUL as its wearing off and the day after.

 

a walk to the woods in closer to me than any drug store.. and the woods provide me with more medicine than any doctor could so provide to me attb..
til the day they put me in a nursing home, I will always be in the woods eating the plants and fungi...

 

if i've taken a 75mg dose and felt a very slight buzz should i be cautious with higher doses or does that just mean i have a low tolerance?

 

Hmm, doesn't sound too odd. What's your weight?

 

like 120 i'm a twig

 

That's a bit over .5 mg/lb. Having really mild effects at this level is completely normal.

Would be odd if you didn't have any at all actually.

 

Thank you for the warning..very important.


I'll share my experience with this substance.

My lenght is 6"3 and I weigh 235 lbs.
Last Thursday at 11 PM I wanted to test out my reaction to the
substance for it's use that coming weekend.

I read about the CYP2D6 deficiëncy so I deceided to take 60 mg as a
test dose. It were pills with 10mg of pure dxm with some sugar additives.

What should have been a quick test went completely the other way.
At 11 PM I ate 2 pills and dissolved another 4 in water and drank it.

T0+ 15min I am starting to feel quite high.
I didn't expect this and also I knew at that point I was a very slow metabolizer.

T0+ 1h I am quite intoxicated; mind feels numb! (so quick).
I decided I would go to bed because I had to go to work the next day.
(I am a cleaner at a mental institution)

T0+ 7h I wake up and to my worry I feel quite shit faced.
Vision is not what it should be and walking is somewhat impaired to.
But I make it downstairs and into the car.
The 15 min drive to work I would discribe as driving after 10 beers
which for me is way to much. In addition I started tripping during the drive but manage to control myself with some music.
I drive slow and manage to arrive in one piece.

T0+ 11h Lunch break at work I am trying my best to act as normal as possible but am having a hard time. Feel very intoxicated.

T0+ 13h It's midday...finished work (I work part time).
The high feeling is somewhat less overwhelming but still going strong.

T0+ 18h The high is somewhat lessening but is still present.
I drank some thea and go for a walk with the dogs.
I can clearly feel the theine strongly reinforcing my high for about 30min.

T0+ 22h My head is starting to hurt. Like a hangover. Dizzy.
I visit my friend with whom I planned going out with.
I cancel this and tell him I don't feel to well and am going to hit the sack early.

T0+ 37h It's Saturday 11 AM. I wake up and am glad to find the intoxication to have subsided. I do feel quite mellow.
Feeling nicely mellow throughout the whole day. This would have to
be the afterglow.

T0+ 46h Drive to the club is nice. Feel relaxed.
Start drinking energy drinks which brings back some sort of a relaxed high.
Music sounds great. The effects of dxm afterglow are certainly still present.

T0+ 51 Drive home & go to sleep. Tired.

T0+ 60 Wake up. Feel good. My head is clear again.

So that would be the experience I had.
Had I taken 150mg or even 250mg I honestly don't know what would have
happened.

 

I beg to differ. I have used Dextromethorphan for 10 years and I am very healthy. There are many different factors that contribute to ones health. It is all about balance. The bane of my existence is using my brain to receive information and turn that into knowledge and on occasion nuggets of wisdom. DXM separates the body from the mind and encourages intellectual and spiritual growth. In the end it is merely a tool, what you choose to do with it is up to you. I'm sure Leonardo Da Vinci could make a masterpiece work of art with the most crude of tools, likewise if you gave someone like Snooki a plethora of materials, crayons, paints, pastels, of every color in the rainbow she would probably create a vomitorium Bill Cosby sweater on canvas.

tl;dr - DXM isn't for everyone, and some people were retarded before the took drugs.

Edit: I went off topic in a /dis/ rage. Yes, I've seen someone with an enzyme deficiency trip for 2 days off of 354mg, even when puking a lot of it up. A well informed friend of mine tells me it is a Nordic gene that causes this, but you should do your own research. Always test the waters before you dive in, unless you consider yourself a crazy Russian roulette playing fuck like me.

 

I wonder why someone hasn't made a dxm plateau dosage calculator app for iOS yet? That'd be a nice app to have when ur standing in the cough syrup aisle.

 

hey guys i wanna try dxm.. whats the best shit to get n how much should i do for my first time? im 220lbs.. ive eaten to much lsd to count so i love takin a journey..

 

Read this through and through

The DXM FAQ should answer many questions you may have.

 

That won't last forever. Once your tolerance builds, the comedown and the afterglow will feel like SHIT. So don't use it too much or your tolerance will go up and dexing will be nowhere as great as it is now.



But yeah, AceK, i'm guessing apple probably wouldn't allow that in the app store or I totally would develop that.

 

Psh, I've seen imitation coke apps in the app store, where you sniff near the mic and pretend to snort the line of coke on the screen. And there's even an erowid app now. It would be better to provide people with a dosage calculator so they can accurately and safely take the drug rather than it being so taboo that people don't know what they're doing and end up in the emergency room.

I agree. After quitting opiates and feeling like shit all the time, I can take dxm every once in a blue moon and feel really great with a nice morning glow after the high wears off.

 

Well here's a calculator I found: http://dxm.darkridge.com/calc.html
