^do not 'start and proceed' with DXM.

Irresponsible advice, plain and simple. Starting at low dosages and proceeding in small increments is the ONLY way to safely and responsibly use psychoactive drugs, whether using dissociatives, psychedelics, empathogens, or even pot.

 

[delphinen]

TheAppleCore, it's not all about harm reduction, it's about achieving a balance between getting high and harm reduction. Have you ever read the DXM faq? you didn't skip the plateaus part did you? you know what I'm talking about right? ; I have a safest advice than 'start and proceed', do not start at all.

mathematical chances of Ecstuhcy having a common trip: 9 in 10
mathematical chances of Ecstuhcy lacking P4502D6 and being afraid of this fact, thus taking 100mg of DXM which will make him/her think DXM is not anything special, and even if the case applies, 300mg will feel like a strong dose, which it's spiritually richer: 1 in 10

It was acturally kinda fun and made me want to further explore my imagination, i only done my first dxm trip yesterday but i will suriously try shrooms and lcd after such an experience as that.
my trip was really spiriatual thanks for asking lol, but wow it was amazing.
@delphinem i acturally thought i had a bad trip but i could handle myself, i put a positive mood and my trip got affected by so. i kept a calm state, and only wanted to explore my mind so ill be ok. I heard i should only trip on dxm like twice a month or something so i wont be doing it again for a while. I think it was a 2nd Platue trip cuz hallucinations were obviously present i felt like i was insane but it was such a interesting experience.Thanks again for the advice delphinen, i woke up this morning with my pupils dialated as fuck and im still feeling quite a body high, i might smoke some weed later on today and what i've heard after having such a trip weed might be even more psychedelic.
Music sounds so much dynamic even though im not high anymore, pretty happy i've experimented with this.

It is very important to take a small~100mg dose to check for enzyme deficiency. And if taking a purposelfy ~threshhold dose makes you quit with the drug not thinking it's special, then you're too stupid to be doing any drugs, or you didn't read any of the HR/research stuff you needed to to know that on e sshold have.

you are giving dangerous advice dude.

you should always start with a low dose of any new drug. this is especially true with DXM. 300mg could put an enzyme deficient person in the ER, even if they just end up going for psychological reasons...

DXM advice?

I've been looking into trying DXM. I've done my research but I just had a couple of questions. Whats a recommended setting for the best trip? Should I be with friends? I have experience with weed and MDMA, so this is kinda new to me! Thanks

 

[4fOhmeohmy]

THC and MDMA don't hold a candle to the intensity of higher doses of DXM. Be really careful when experimenting with it. And as for dosage, you need to do more research into your body mass and what form of it you decide to take. For instance there is a plethora of different forms for Cough Syrup to Gel Caps to pure DXM. Read more. Goodgle exists for a reason.

 

[maxxsskip]

u think mdma doesnt compare in intensity? maybe i didnt do enough, i weigh 150 lbs and first dex i did 355 mg and it wasnt that crazy just detached and large body (buzz?). eating .3 of fire mdma my first roll blew that shit far out of the water lol. a 150mg line of shitty k (only tried it once) was just as intense as my dex trip.

 

[4fOhmeohmy]

I only say that it isn't as intense because of the ability for full astral projection and complete disembodiment on DXM. MDMA is essentially pure pleasure, comparing the two honestly isn't that fair considering they are completely different classes of drugs. And don't even get me started on how intense Ketamine can get, from floors more complicated then the best light show to holes so deep you have to go down to get up.

 

[deadheadgirl]

I'd stay in your room or a friends room if they are okay with it group tripping is good but you may want someone sober around encase the trip goes wrong. I chronically use dxm some weeks daily or every other day once someone noticed how messed up I was and rushed me to the er where they had a lot of trouble stabilizing me. If you have been doing other drugs I'd say a bottle to a bottle in a half of robo is a good first trip the first time i did I took a bottle of gels(300mg) however if you can stomach the taste pure syrup is the best way to go note if you do gels 2 bottles is okay. Anything over 600mg may kick your butt if you have a low tolerance. You want to be in a dark room possibly all lights turned out & do it at night make sure you have a c.d player/boombox or an mp3 player your going to want to listen to some trippy music 60's and 70's is the best to me. The type of music will effect your visuals something like the beatles or pink floyd is good I personally like listing to the Grateful dead the most. On the comedown which should start at 4-5 hours your first time try watching a good movie or t.v show something stoner like a cheech and chong film may be enjoyable. Peace Love And may you have A Far out trip man!

 

[marie.claire]

Thanks all for your responses I was definitely planning to start at the lowest possible dose. Is there a way that could be dangerous? I just want to take all necessary precautions.

And as for dosage, you need to do more research into your body mass and what form of it you decide to take. For instance there is a plethora of different forms for Cough Syrup to Gel Caps to pure DXM. Read more. Goodgle exists for a reason.

I didn't ask about dosage because I know that nobody here can really help me with that. Thank you though!

 

[deadheadgirl]

As long as you are healthy and aren't on any medications such as maio's or any antidepressants it should be fine but if you combine it with an ssri than you could die. Otherwise you will be fine I've done it 100's of times without any longterm damage

 

[idontdothizz]

delsym gives a better body buzz. regular dxm is more trippy. i like delsym because i have euphora all that day and the next day. like i feel like i am rolling the whole next day. just cant feel like that at all anymore cuz i abused mxe so dxm wont do a damn thing anymore. dxm is magic but only certain people like it. I would recommend a first time dose of 300mg.

 

[marie.claire]

Thank you both! I really appreciate all the info

Does anybody know if there's a way to shorten the trip? I'm not sure if I want a full 4 hours

 

[oar9fi]

I used to do do DXM alot back in the '90's (lol @ "back in the '90s,"- makes me feel old!) Back then there was a brand of DXM only gelcaps called "Dexalone." It was either that or the RoboMax cough syrup which was GROSS (& even worse coming back up.) Your best choice these days are the cough gels with 15mg each of only DXM. They come in a bottle of 20 so that's 300mg. For a first time take just half if you want to get a feel for it, or all 20 to trip. Like idontdothizz said, some people love dissociatives others hate them.
You might want to have an antihistamine handy in case you get the "robo rash" which is red blotches that are itchy as fuck & very annoying while tripping. Also I always liked DXM at night much better than day. It's fun to do alone but I'd recommend having someone around for the first time. Oh & music is great (I like electronic stuff best)

I'm surprised that it's legal. I think more people use the DXM only formulas for tripping than for actual coughs. It shows up in the media once every few years, but since pharma companies get their profit there's no "We must save the youth from the evil drug" frenzy that we see with everything else. There was a bit of an issue with Coricidin ("Skittles") because it has other ingredients that are dangerous. But DXM itself is pretty safe.

For a shorter trip use something with DXM hbr, not Delsym which has DXM polystyrex which makes it time release. I don't think you'll get it shorter than 4 hours though.

 

[zirbeldude]

Make sure that you take a small test dose (30mg), the day before your trip
Some people are CYP2D6 deficient.
This enzyme metabolises a major part of the DXM.
People who have this deficiancy get a very heavy and very long trip from a moderate dose.
So if you don't get very noticeable effects from the 30mg you should be fine to take your planned dose, the next day.

 

[DextromethorFan]

at like 700mg+ for a 160lb person shit starts getting unbelievably intense. ive taken 1300mg and floated out of my body above it and saw everything around me, myself moving, then floated out of the RV i was in and saw the lake behind the house

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

I'm surprised that it's legal.

It's an effective antitussive, and way less abusable than the opiates it replaced (not many drug users like this at all, or would choose to use it if other drugs are available to them). Most of the sensationalism results from when the media gets wind of teenagers being sent to the hospital because they are found high as fuck and their parents don't know what else to do, this is of course being misconstrued in the story as if the hospitalization were medically necessary.

Whats a recommended setting for the best trip? Should I be with friends?

In your room, in the dark, listening to music. Dissociatives are better as solo-drugs IMO, but some people like it in groups.

 

[4fOhmeohmy]

I would have to agree with you Never Knows Best on the point that Dissociatives are a better solo drug class. But I feel like DXM is a pretty borderline drug that it shouldn't really be taken alone when you're inexperienced with it. Small groups imo never crowds or shit like that.

YES. Get an antihistamine dude! I got my friend to try the gels and he had an extreme allergic reaction deal going on. his face blew up to a balloon! also, robo itch is extremely uncomfortable and will distract you. Just pick up some generic benadryls. they help alot with nausea too! take it about 20 minutes before you start dosing on dxm. '

as for shortening it, benzos?


its definitely better for solo. if you are doing 300mg or below then you really shouldn't need a trip sitter. like neverknowsbest says take it at night in a dark room and lay down with some headphones. my first dxm trip was so great.

I dont take it around people because on high doses like 500mg> people keep telling me that if i dont focus on something my eyes start to dark around in the back of my head. weird thing is, i dont even realize i am doing it. man i miss dxm.
