Trip Report: DXM for me!!!

This is my second time taking DXM recreationally. The first was back in April sometime if I recall right. 300mg from Robitussin DM cough gels. 20 pills. Taking the last few right now.

I'll be keeping a little report like I did last time, and I'll post it later. I'll probably blather on endlessly in this thread too, just like last time.

The first time I did later at night, and now I'm trying it earlier to experience more of the trip before I get sleepy and crash. My dad's on nightshift so I'm clear to use the house. He doesn't mind me smoking bud, but I think explaining the positive psychoactive properties of downing a whole bottle of cough medication would be a bit of a stretch. He'd likely beat me senseless. Silly man.

Anyhow...ummm. I'm not sure what else I should put here. I took them on an empty stomach, as I worked today and all I had to eat was a little carrot muffin with a coffee around 11. I'm having a sandwich though, 'cause I'm really hungry.

I'll be back...

 

If you're smart about it you can have a great time. I agonized over my decision for weeks the first time, and researched dosages like crazy and all that. Have upbeat music you like, be comfortable and just let loose.

I never really got open eyed visuals or anything at this dose last time, but the closed eye ones were nifty and it had me dancing all around my room to trance music. Was crazy.

 

Just please please PLEASE read the DXM FAQ at the top of General first. It is a sticky. Also check out some stuff on erowid. You have to make sure there are no other active ingredients besides Dextromethorphan (DXM).

Other than that, pretty much yeah. 20 pills of the stuff I bought is 300mg and it'll be a good time.
You wanna see dragons on your ceiling and shit you might need to take more, but start slow for your first time and make sure you do your research first. You can hurt yourself if you take the wrong shit.

Oh, and I'm starting to feel a buzz and my visions slowing down a hair...YAY!

Damn, I'm getting itchy. The robo itch didn't happen to me until much later last time. Oh well. It'll pass. Music is starting to really kick ass.

 

I've done diphenhydramine, which I think is similar to what you said...it's sleepier than DXM. I progressed from diphen to DXM and won't go back. Not worht it.

Oh yeah, I'm getting there. Crazy pressurey headbuzz. Feeling a little warm/flushed so I took off my sweater. Took a quick shower so I could wash my hair to get rid of the itch (didn't help) and that was a bad idea. Shampoo in my eyes. Now EVERYTNING itches.

There are some noticable tracers when I turn my head and the very beginnings of some closed eye patterns.

Getting the itch on my body now instead of just my head, so I'll be feeling it real hard soon.

 

The itch is only bad for 5 minutes or so...then it goes away pretty much. You gotta ignore it. if you give in and scratch the itch it perpetuates it. That;s my problem

 

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!

 

Hahaha, that sounds like my average weekday night. How I long for average...

I haven't mustered up the strength to go shower yet, but I can feel it getting better slowly. I'm glad I typed that all up, the more sober I get the foggier my night gets in my mind. Damn.

Oh, and just to add to my little "experience"...you know, to help get across just how much pain I was/am in...

I cried. For the first time since my best friend's Dad died. And a lot harder. I wept like a little girl.

Ah well. I survived no?
