DXM - Dosage and Safety

[LieutenantDank]

Does anyone have any information about the dosage and safety of DXM when used as a recreational drug? I've been reading about it, and it seems a lot of people like the effects. However, I haven't been able to find much information of how much I should take, or how safe it is.

I'd like the following information if anyone can provide it:

--Recommended dosage per person
--How much is considered to be a risky dosage towards overdosing
--Possible medical problems it can cause
--Any negative effects
--Personal experiences

Thanks!

i'd recomend 600 mg, if you wanna blow acid out the water, take like 1100 mg
dont go over like 1800 mg, anythung more and your breathing slows noticeably..u could be alergic and get what people call a "roboitch", as for after effects, you gonna feel a lil odd the next day, id say pop at nite, but no tooo late...haha if u pop any later then like 1am, your gonna be retarded when you wake up

Yeah, 600mgs is good, maybe a 100mg less if you dont want to get too "out there"

Negative effects are that, every time I've taken dxm(about 7-8) I have puked.

It'll last about 4-6 hours and darkness is your friend And STAY INSIDE the outdoors, really suck. Trust me. And dont mix anything else with it, except 2 benadryl if you get the robo itch.

Oh yeah, and have fun. I suggest doing it with one other close friend. But make sure you get to sit in a dark room(by yourself) with music blastin, its.......weird. In a real good way though


EDIT:Get a DXM only product, such as;

[Floydian]

Get a bottle of Delsym Cough Syrup, drink it all if it's the smaller bottle. If it's the larger, drink half - 2/3rds, and wait an hour or two and see how you feel, then if you're down, drink the rest.

As far as your health, I do not know the specifics from one single use, but if you don't do it more than once every two weeks, you'll be fine.

It feels different to every person. I highly recommend smoking while waiting for it to kick in, helps you to not think about it and also can make the high that much better. It's even more recommended to smoke while you're feeling it, you'll be able to take much bigger hits, and the high combination is great.

I think 600 is way too high for a first timer...try like 300 or 400.
Also, i wouldnt recommend delsym since its dextromethorphan polistirex and you would be "trippin" for a whole day...the delsym high isnt very intense but its definitely enjoyable. Good luck man, peace.

And green lantern..how much do you generally take? i have yet to puke on dxm...im always so far in space that i couldnt even imagine having a gag reflex unless i hadnt started tripping yet. Downing 2 bottles of gels will put my stomach in a knot for a bit but it goes away.

[Hakennase]

I gotta agree more with rollin on this one. 600 is way too high for a first timer. At least if you want to not get the shit kicked out of you or you are mentally ready for it (which you wont be because you can't even comprehend DXM without trying it - not that you can after a trip either). As far as staying inside - it's not hard to do when tripping, but going outside isn't necessarily a bad thing unless you're in a crowded area or something or the robowalk has taken over.

[CHRONIKKKK]

no way dont do 600 as ur first time that shit is not cool

do 400 at most i am on 600 mg od dxm now .. well i am waiting for it to kick in and in about 20-30 minutes i am not going to be able to type fine


and umm another really shitty effect is that the next morning you cant fuck anyone .. well you can get it up and everything but you cant finish ... unless you go at it for like hours and hours .... sucks for you but it will definately not suck for the girl

peace

Just make sure you are feeling good (both mentally and physically) and that you have eaten that day. A full stomach is not good, but if you're weakened from lack of food it can go bad. I took 300mg one afternoon when I was just recovering from being a bit sick...let's just say the next few hours were pretty unpleasant. Though I wouldn't give up the experience for the world. I've only done it twice but both trips left me feeling more comfortable and at peace with the world than I've been in a long time.

Oh, and I found my "unpleasane" trip report. Not to scare you, just to make sure you're smart about it

Wow...ok. Ouch. Now that I can think coherently again, let's try to put this into words. I know it's long but I feel this terrible need to write this down.

It wasn't a bad trip in the normal sense...The trip itself was ok. No evil thoughts creeping in, no fear of being stuck in a trip forever. I've had a weed induced panic attack once and a really bad claustrophobia induced one a couple times. This wasn't like that.

Now, everything was almost identical to my last trip, the DXM source, the dose...the setting the music. Everything. This leads me to believe that my experience wasn't really caused by the DXM...

From the onset of the trip, something felt a little off. I got a headbuzz, but it was really intense. Like sinus pressure but everywhere. First clue. Second was that I got hot. It's like 6 degrees C here overnight and I had a window open in my room. I took off my sweater at one point. I had chills and sweats like I had a bad fever. Real bad. I later clued in when I touched my head and was burning up. Thuper.

Then, instead of just plain visual trippiness...
I got the spins. Worse than when I drank a liter of rum by myself in a rage at wrecking my car. Everything made me dizzy. By this point I'm starting to wonder what the fuck is gong on. As much as I can, I ignore the unpleasantness and chill out to some music and try to enjoy my trip.

I had gone downstairs to refill my water, and had to lay down on the couch. Stayed there for a while. Finally went back upstairs and brought my computer over to my bed to relax and let it pass...the screen made me nauseous. Wonderful. I put it on the floor (a little more violently than necessary, I was in a bad mood) and tried to just slow down and relax. Then I vomited repeatedly for nearly an hour. Seriously. Talking hurts my throat I puked so much.

Then I rested a bit...and all of a sudden.......shot out of bed. I then ran downstairs (hard to roborun down a flight of narow staris but I pulled it off) and blew hot burning liquid shit out of my ass for a good half an hour. I hate life at this point. I feel like a cancer patient on chemo. It hurts to move. It hurts to pee. I shit so much it hurts to walk or sit. I was thirsty and the mere thought of drinking water made me start a whole new round of vomiting.

I crawled up the stairs...it's not any easier to robo-crawl . I half slithered out of my puke-stained clothes and dragged myself into bed. Passed out for one blissful hour. Not easy to do when tripping. I've been too worried about drug interference to take anything for the fever...I don't figure there are many drugs ment to interact properly with an entire bottle of Robitussin...

Now, 4.5 hours after ingestion...I can move again. It still hurts to do so (violent shitting, remember? ) but I can move. My room smells like puke, I smell like puke and a little bit like diarrhea (what? I'm not going to lie...) and I feel so weak I could barely get to my computer...I'm curled, naked, in the fetal position on the floor where my laptop landed earlier. I've got the shakes like mad, and I feel so out of it it's not even funny. I've never been this sick in my life.

But I can't bring myself to believe that DXM did it. I am not on any medications at all, so nothing interacted with it. I didn't do anything any differently this time. I'm thinking it was one of two things that were unusual in my diet today. First, grapefruit juice. We don't order grapefruit at my place of work but we got some in for some reason. I squeezed a few and drank about 6 oz. So did a coworker of mine, 'C'. I also bought some carrot muffins at Safeway for breakfast. They wouldn;t sell me 2 muffins, so I bought six. I shared. With 'C'. I'm going to ask her about it tomorrow.

I'm thinking that I was sick already, either from food poisoning or just the flu or whatever...and the DXM just exacerbated my condition. Sped it up. Made it worse. Whatever.

There were a couple positive moments int he trip...I made a nice little decision about my life...but I'll save it because this is way too long and I need to crawl into the shower and wash up. I reek

PEACE!

My roommate and I tried this the other night. We drank half a bottle of CVS brand Tussin each, which comes out to about a 355 mg dose. Neither of us really tripped. However, we were lying down most of the night, then went to sleep. The DXM really upset our stomachs. When we were walking around, we felt drunk as hell, like extremely trashed. The wierd thing is, there was nothing wrong with my thinking. When I drink a lot, my body loses coordination, but so does my brain. Not so on DXM. I couldn't control my body much, but my state of mind was as if I was completely sober. I would like to try a full bottle (711 mg) but I'm afraid I might not be able to keep it down. Any ways to offset the nausea? I was considering smoking while taking it, but I have no weed.

[jgrimes53]

I took around 250mg dxm the one time I tried it and I just felt really out of it like whenever I got up to walk around it felt like just my head was floating and I had no body, it was kinda cool.

[LegitBaller]

yea like 150mg-200 is the threshold dose to feel ANYTHING, but its definitely not a "trip" that higher doses offer

[ondrugz]

I dont know about the 600 id go for 400 just incase if bad reaction and make sure the only active ingrediant is dex
