(1,2g DXM) - Experienced - Bad trip.

[gvnking]

This takes place 5 days before last Christmas. I was in a very bad situation with my family due to my drug use at this like I was doing dxm daily I was in my own little trip world. Anyways my mom was fed up with me. can't remember what the particular argument was about but she told me that she was sending me to live with my dad(note:my dad is a huge alcoholic and we don't have a good relationship but I'm not going to go into it) tho sent me into a rage I ran into my room and locked myself in the bathroom and started poping tray after tray of coricidin hbr until I had consumed 6 of them (there are 8 pills per tray 30mg per pill)after I finished all 6 I grabbed my jacket and my longboard and ran out of my house and started riding while calling my friend (lets just call him Jim) so I rode for about 25 mins and met jim at a local Albertsons I told him what happens and he was really supportive.we then decided we would ride an additional 20 mins to a winco which stocked a very large amount of coricidin because all the other stores in our area didn't stock them due to shoplifting. As soon as we got there the affects were slowly starting to set in we went into the isle where they were stocked and toke the whole stock about 8 boxes we left successfully without getting caught at this point my mouth was completely numb and it was getting hard to walk. We then decided to go into khols a clothing store that also had some electronics we were originally going in to look around but then I saw a beats pill I couldn't resist myself I hid behind some clothes with it and stretched the spider wire around the box and put it in my bag keep in mind I'm stumbling like I drank a whom fifth of vodka and my visuals were indescribable we somehow made it out of the store without getting caught as soon as we got out we started heading to my friends house I tried to ride my longboard but I fell off and hit my head, I kept trying to ride but I kept falling I didn't know how to use my hands to catch my fall my friend then grabbed me like If I had a broken leg and started walking me we were on a busy highway and I couldn't feel my legs my vision had a red colored tint to it and I had no idea what was going on,I was falling into the street in front of cars my head was bleeding from hitting it so much and his house seemed like it was hours away. things kept getting worse and worse but we were getting close to his house when suddenly a car pulled up I had no idea what was going on my friend started helping me into the car I thought "what's going on who are these people,where are they taking me"I looked hard at them and had a slight realization that it was my mom and my sister but I didn't believe they were real.we got to the hospital (i didn't know we were there the whole world was fake to me)they immediately got me on a stretcher and started putting a iv into me i thought i was in a torture chamber. They kept asking me questions witch i could comprehend. I was in hell the walling were melting around me my vision was red everything i saw was red and i believed that i had died and was put in my own personal hell. It toke me about a week and a half of therapy to come to my senses and believe that i was real and so is everyone else. Please never touch dxm it toke me to some very dark places.

You do realize you took not only an insane amount of DXM but an idiotic amount of chlorpheniramine with it right? The combination of the two is what has killed people in similar amounts to what you took. Not that you can't die from DXM alone, but you would most likely have to take at least 2 grams. Glad you are alive and that you learned from it, but DXM can be used responsibly by mature people who know what they're doing because they actually research things and don't just stuff handfuls of pills down their throats.

I do realize that it was insanely stupid and I was aware of the risks but back then I had a different mindset about thing I really didn't care if I lived or died.im thankful to be alive right now

So you were already in a dark place, it wasn't the DXM that took you there as you stated, correct?

 

[gvnking]

Pretty much I was taking it to forget witch is a very bad reason to take a dissociative

I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience, but that is one high dose of CPM you took there, which most likely amplified the trip. Bad, bad idea to take Coricidin. Personal experience and research taught me that. On the contrary, DXM is a pretty fun dissociative when taken by itself and in moderation (as in, with no other active ingredients that can kill you, and tripping once every two weeks maybe..) but it's always good to see someone drag themselves out of a deep hole. I believe your mental state also contributed to your bad trip.

How are you feeling now?

I've been feeling great I've learned to appreciate life and I've really worked on myself.I mean don't get me wrong I've had my fare share of good dxm experiences too but now I can't really go back to it the high doesn't do it for me anymore,lately though I've been experimenting with lsd and mdma
in moderation of course

DXM or better, its metabolite dextrorphan has a very dark side to itself, independent of antihistamines or coricidin... I had to learn this the hard way. Look at the similarity of DXO & Ephenidine (and lefetamine, which is considered to be neurotoxic in higher dosages):

This seems not to apply for everyone, but the good old arylcyclohexylamines (ketamine, methoxetamine, 2'-OxO-PCE, maybe even 3-MeO-PCP) are different.. less harsh, less toxic. More forgiving. While there seem to be some changes visible on MRI images of heavy ketamine users, we have no reports of 'ketamine fried my brain' but DXM is able to cause long-lasting and potentially irreversible after effects. The papers don't tell the whole truth.

I can't put it into words, but all my experiences with those diarylethylamines were heavily overshadowed by a dark, thick, disgusting matter. Pure dysphoria. DXO is like them too. The ACHs are much more vivid, clean, alive..
It's kinda of a backdoor in my mind that I (or you) should never touch... straight into psychosis.

They aren't at all so similar, even going by the molecular structure.

Dxm made me an absolute madman for about 4-5 months anywhere from having hour long conversations with myself and being a total outcast to thinking I was being controlled by robots and life was all just one big simulation not to mention not being able to talk right for months,nothing good ever came out of my dxm experience's

Again, dxm can be used by responsible people who know about time, place, and setting. Shoplifting pills ad throwing them down your throut is dumb and going to kill you one day if you don't start thinking about drugs in a responsible way. Believe me, I was like you once, my first time doing a hallucinogen of any type i took around 160 ug alone in my room at 12 years old, im not saying dont do drugs, im saying be smart about it

 

[dopamimetic]

I don't say you can't use DXM responsibly and fully agree with you on your points.

Just that I feel that DXM is more dark, toxic than the unfortunately illegal arylcyclohexylamines. Think of GHB where the people now just drink GBL and get stomach problems.

This was a year ago I haven't used since ,I realize it idiotic but I was suicidal I could have used dxm powder or Robitussin gels but I chose coricidin to try to over dose I was in a very bad life situation.

how can you even consider yourself to be a respectable dxm user if your out popping all this fucking corciden. ive been addicted and tripped on dxm in all doses atleast 1000 times. you make us all look stupid for tripping on corciden in such high doses and thats just another way to kill yourself man. if you want a trip thats not gonna literally give you a heart attack and still want to dose that high i suggest extracting 80 gels and just mix the shit inside with some lemon juice and hold your nose and chug it. i quit dxm for a very long time and havent used since march because ive been abusing amphetamines but have recently been withdrawing and thinking about trying dxm to help with the unbearable depression I get from the withdrawl. safe tripping

 

[Jmmcali1]

I don't know. when I started doing this drug I started off at one bottle of robitussin max and worked my way up with tolerance. if you don't need 1000mg to trip why would you take that much? respect the drug and don't ever fuck with triple c's. the one time I did do triple cs the cpm scared the piss out of me and I was only 16 and ate one box ( literally worst idea of my life) because my heart rate would be higher, and more irregular then it would when using meth except theres no "high" as a trade off of the horrible side effects with corciden, its a toxic feeling of overdose. I don't know, have fun popping pills that make you feel sick and overdosed, I guess its better then going out and maybe playing a game of baseball, or enjoying your life doing things kids should be doing with their life, or maybe some alchohol... why corciden? just why? so you can permently suffer from brain damage, eye problems, and having over the roof bp/hr ( over 200) isn't rare with triple c abuse. I hope anyone uninformed with the drug dxm reads this before seriously hurting themselves, PM me if you have any questions.
