I had a out of the ordinary experience with DOC (for me, anyways) this past weekend. I haven't taken it in 3-4 years, but finally got my hands on some powder and made a solution with alcohol.
I dosed 4mg on Saturday around 11:30-11:45AM in preparation for a one-day festival near me. My friends picked me up around 12:15-12:30 and I was surprised to feel intense nausea on the drive over to the fest. Usually I don't feel anything until at least an hour and a half after dosing. Right as we parked, I threw up my entire breakfast and then felt much better.
I tripped decently hard for a few hours. The visuals were pretty typical; nothing insane (I've had some of the most visual experiences of my life on DOC before) but very enjoyable. I chose not to smoke until much later in the day, and if I had earlier it probably would have boosted the visuals. I felt very energetic and clear headed. Unlike on some psychedelics, I didn't really have issues talking to anyone. In fact, as the trip went on, I found myself very social. I love the clear headedness of this drug.
I arrived home around 11:30, ready to change and head over to one of the afterparties. My roommate, who was supposed to go with me, was passed out in her bed with her friends also sleeping around her. I woke her up and finally she agreed to come after taking a nap for another hour. We took the subway to the afterparty, and upon arrival (around 2AM), immediately snorted some deschloroketamine. I eyeballed it with my spoon so I have no clue how much we take, but I tried not to give her too much since it was her first time trying it. Either way, the amount seemed perfect as we both had the greatest time. The remaining DOC in my body seemed to combine perfectly. We did a smaller bump of DCK later in the night, and that was great too.
We got home close to 7AM. Her friends were awake outside on our stoop and I really enjoyed chatting with them for a while. Then we went inside and all did a nitrous balloon. I experienced the most intense nitrous experience to date. It felt like it laster longer and hit harder than any other time. This was the first time I did nitrous while still really feeling the drugs I had taken earlier. Otherwise my other most enjoyable experience with N02 is while coming down from rolling. But this was better - I felt like I was being shot around at 90 degree angles (while sitting in place). Weird and difficult to explain, but awesome.
We all smoke a joint with a bit of opium in it, then it was time to go to bed. It was nearly 9AM at this point and we wanted to get to bed in order to get up in time for another concert that night. I dosed out some Etizolam for my roommate and I, around 2mg each. She passed out seemingly immediately while I chatted with her friends for a bit longer, then finally dragged myself to bed. I tried to sleep for hours... and absolutely could not. Restless in bed, my mind created intense CEVs of a party in my mind. The music that I had heard in the afterparty looped itself over and over in my brain. I literally saw a party happening behind closed eyes, complete with people interacting with me and each other. It was cool, but infuriating because all I wanted to do was sleep. I took 4 more mgs of Etiz, which in total would be 3x the amount I usually need to pass out. It didn't help at all.
Around 1PM I gave up on sleeping because I did not feel tired at all. I went in my roommate's room to find her awake, too. This is when I thought back to the original dose of Etiz that I gave to us. I keep both the DOC and Etiz solutions in identical amber bottles, in the same drawer... they are labeled of course. Could I have done that? I didn't want to believe it. I had foggy memories of pulling out the bottle and looking at the label. Part of my brain was trying to tell me was that I read DOC on the label but went about it as if it was Etiz anyways. I was in denial about it until I asked my roommate how she was feeling. She said when she woke up, she felt like she was tripping and felt some nausea as well. She looked in the mirror and noticed her pupils were dilated. That confirmed it. I told her what happened and she was somewhat relieved that there was an explanation to what she was feeling. We both laughed about it because there was now nothing we could do.
She only took 2mg DOC in total so her trip was minor and did not last very long. She said she felt tired by 6-7PM. However, I felt like I was tripping all day. This may have been due to additive effects from the DOC I took the previous day. I had minor visuals and again, that really clear headspace. I felt like the whole day I was brutally honest and open. I had deep conversations with my roommate and her friends about life, love, the government, technology, etc. We smoked a bunch of weed which maybe also added to the effects. I did a couple more balloons, but they did not affect me like the first one did.
We didn't go to the concert. We were all planning to go, but backed out for different reasons. Her and I were just so out of it that we knew we wouldn't have the best time there. Then some arguing between everyone else but me went down, which led to her friends leaving (they were supposed to crash with us for 3 more days). It was all very upsetting to witness and I think due to lack of sleep I totally broke down into tears. I couldn't stop crying. Her friends came in and talked to me about it, which helped me calm down somewhat but I still felt very sensitive for the rest of the night. My roommate and I opted to watch Mr Robot, she fell asleep quickly into the first episode we put on. I shooed her off to bed and watched two more episodes myself. I must have been somewhat trippy still because the episodes were very engaging. I could have binged through the rest of the season, probably, but I had to wake up early the next day.
I put a ton of bright stickers on the DOC bottle, then dosed up 2.5mg Etiz because I felt like I still could not fall asleep naturally. This was around 12:30-1AM. I had been up for close to 40 hours at this point. I mercifully passed out... and woke up at almost 8PM the next day! I completely missed work and slept for something like 19 hours. I still felt tired when I woke up and only stayed up for about 5 hours before going to sleep again (without any aid this time).
I never binge on drugs like this, I'm all about harm reduction. It would have been a normal festival weekend for me if not for the accidental second DOC dose. I'm just glad I feel back to normal now. I still felt a little weak and sluggish this morning, but a nap after work and I'm feeling fine.
Nice thing about DOC though is it's not that hard to get a lifetime supply since it's so potent. It's really very cheap by the dose.
