Interesting. You might just be forming a habit there though. The effects of dissociatives change considerably over time.
I've been using NMDA antagonists for about 13 years now. For a couple years I would use DXM every 10 days or so. I then stopped use for around seven years. When I picked DXM back up I was not using any dissociatives regularly. The first few trips were really side-effect laden and rather unpleasant. By the second I was using small amounts of ondansetron, and by the fifth or sixth (again once every week and half approximately, give or take a half week) I had upped the dosage to 12 mg. Every single time I have used 12 mg or more of ondansetron I've noticed a great reduction in the undesirable effects. I would be quite surprised to learn they were completely unrelated. The difference was stark and sudden, not due to a building of tolerance.
Some ~9 months before this resurgence of DXM use I would use MXE multiple times a week. Certainly "abuse". By the second month my initial dose had about doubled to achieve the same effects (40 to wee bit over 70). My tolerance was back to 40 after a couple week lull, but the tolerance grew faster than originally and if I used for 3 days in a row by the third it was back up to around 70. But by the time I started DXM use I hadn't use any in nearly a year. So I don't expect tolerance to be particularly significant in reduction of the effects. I even (oh the shame) drank syrup a few times. No problems with 12 mg+ ondansetron and a puking, shirtless, sweaty mess without. Dose is usually 700-800 and occasionally a 350-400 mg second dose about four hours in. Even the nights with redosing, something that would generally make my speech worse for significantly longer, wore off with minimal lasting debilitation.
I'd say it is still worth a look. Someone please post here or PM me or something if you have experiences to add. If it seems to be reproducible I'll happily make a new thread and quote all the relevant posts.
