I just made this thread to show what I think about DPH now and for all of you to share whatever you want about it.
I decided to go ahead and trip on different amounts of DPH (I'm using benadryl 25mgs). Yes I am bored.
My thoughts on DPH tripping : Personally I think it's well worth it to try and trip on it, the first time kind of sucks especially if you read the erowid trip reports beforehand. As a warning, if you read them before you trip, you will have a bad trip most likely, especially if you read them right before or during a trip. They describe way too many terrifying things such as spiders and scorpions that almost everyone is either scared of or just plain hate them. You get a head full of imagination + a couple pages filled with bad trips + a hallucination inducing drug and you have a bad trip on your hands. Even if you have it out of your thoughts it will still come back and get you, something will spark a thought about bugs or insects or something of the sort and then you'll think of the erowid reports and start actually seeing scorpions and such, hence why you see almost every trip on erowid for DPH similar. Almost all of them contain seeing a shitload of spiders and/or scorpions which leads me to believe one person had a random bad trip on DPH, then another one read about it then had the same bad trip, then more people read it and etc. Just a theory though of course.
So in preparation for a trip, I suggest you go without horror movies or reading about scary things for about a day or two in advance. Watch really cool trippy movies and such to sort of help shape your trip, I haven't had a bunch of experience on this firsthand but from my own experiences this is what I'm suggesting. Also, drink plain water during the trip and beforehand, soda makes you dehydrated and things such as milk or OJ can make your stomach hurt when you drink it.. I'm not sure about caffeine and how it affects DPH because I have yet to try this together but I might try it tonight. I do know that sugar brings your trip down faster (though I took a fairly large dose of sugar during my trip so maybe small amounts are ok) because I ate some cheerios with a bit too much sugar in them and about 10-15 minutes later I noticed I wasn't tired at all and that my amount of visuals went down very slowly.
Music during a trip is very important. If you sit in a room with no music, it could make you have a bad trip. So music is a MUST with DPH, personally I liked listening to ludacris and that gang as well as infected mushroom on my 2nd trip. If you start to have a bad trip or you just get plain bored during the trip, go walk outside or masturbate/have sex/lookup porn(VERY trippy, trust me)
Calling a friend, for some people, can help or hurt your trip. Make sure it is a friend who has tripped before (other friends might act stupid and not realize your in a critical position at the moment, or might just call you stupid and make you have a bad trip). I have found that when something bad happens during your trip it hits you a lot harder than it would in real life, even if the person was joking, so don't call people who might call you a name as a joke because you might not be able to handle it. Just call someone who is calm, open-minded, and who won't joke around too much. This doesn't mean the same thing for people you are tripping with because usually they'll be in the same spot as you (unless it didn't work or something) so they'll be a lot more mellow.
Most important : DON'T plan on doing anything, even something as little as taking out the trash or doing laundry, while your tripping. You will not be able to do it right, your motor skills ARE affected.
So far heres how my trips have gone :
First trip (150mg DPH, 3.9 grams of acetaminophen) : This first trip was kind of...well...crappy (first trips usually are). I took 12 sudafed PE, bad idea, as a warning never ever take acetaminophen with DPH. It makes your stomach hurt and usually leads to a bad trip (at least for me) so avoid doing it. All that really happened was I got tired, twitchy when I laid down, and there was no hallucinations except for a scorpian or spider here and there (I couldn't get those stupid bad trips from erowid out of my head so I kept seeing them) I finally just passed out because the trip sucked.
Second trip (200mg DPH, 50mg more DPH 2-3 hours in) : This is when I decided to start trying DPH out a bit more, I did this trip with one of my friends who took 150mg (+50mg 2-3 hours in) and it was his first time. He had never tripped on anything before other than weed and some various muscle relaxants. He saw the ceiling move and that was it (small dose so that was expected) and I saw all of the walls and ceiling covered in foggy-ness that looked like actual fog that was moving around and such which was giving the wall a small psychadelic effect. My friend and I both loved the sedative effects as well but we ended up passing out about 4-5 hours into the trip. Overall a really fun trip though
Third trip (300mg DPH) : This was a really cool trip too, I took this by myself and I had eaten a TON about 3-4 hours before (my friend and I got the munchies bad lol) so it might have been reduced a bit, which I think it was reduced but only a little bit. It was a lot like my 2nd trip except I kept tripping out a bunch like I would be typing on my computer and the wall behind it would move back about 10 feet or so then it would come right back and my cell phone would get really really small then really big (this happened on LSD as well) and I would turn around and think I saw my friend in place of my computer or TV (which obviously wasn't the case) but right when I looked directly at him/it then it/he would disappear and turn back to whatever it was. Overall it was very entertaining to me.
Go ahead and post whatever advice you have on DPH or any trips you'd like to share.
