lower tolerance to DXM

Well I've recently hit a weird wall with my DXM. I've never had ANY tolerance issues until recently, and I used it pretty much 2-4 times a month for 5 months. Mid to upper 2nd plateau range most of the time.

If you are finding the effects have dropped way off you might need to take a break. I'm planning on a couple months. I've read a lot of people hit this wall and need to stop for a while.

Yeah like my last time, I took 900 mg on an empty stomach, fast melting caps too not gels, and I barely felt like I had taken 250
 
Damn! 900mg is a fairly significant dose i used to do it every once in a while but I waited almost a year and then had a pretty good trip and the rest seemed to indicate something like the wall you described but it was pretty sudden I'm curious as to other substances used to lower tolerance or potentate besides GFJ and other sedatives
 
In my experience pure tolerance takes a couple months to fully go away. But its a mix I think between tolerance and the whole 'Familiarity breeds contempt'. Like a mental tolerance, you because so 'familiar' with the effects they don't really have much of an impact on you. Setting can also change the nature of the experience, if you start experiencing a tolerance wait a month or so and change you setting, makes it magical again :D
 
I have noticed that randomly DXM will feel really strong and then at other times randomly it just doesnt seem to do much at all. I take about 500 miligrams every single time and this is what happenes to me. One week Ill be floating around town thinking that I might be the reincarnation of the messiah and then the next week it only feels like a drank 6 beers. So it varies a lot from time to time.
 
A change in setting would probably help I would love to try it at a concert or football game it seems like it would be very exciting
 
If you are doing DXM enough to have tolerance issue you should be more concerned with brain damage than saving 5 bucks on robotussin. Please stop, way too many young people are ruining themselves with this legal high, it is not at all safe to use.
 
ill echo theworldwithin's comment. Stay away. DXM is unpredictable in all regards, especially when it comes to tolerance. Try and at least take a break and see how you feel. You might come to realize that your brain works better when its out of your system.
 
Its just smart to realize we dont know all the facts. If you are having weird tolerance issues that fluctuate, the answer is clearly not "double my dose just in case"

Just be smart with this stuff. I dont think any of us are gonna die as long as we avoid high doses and foolishness.

As to potentiating DXM. GFJ works really well. But other drugs can help. I believe a little bit of benadryl or dramamine, cant remember which will block the enzyme as needed. Also other opiates such as vicodin can boost the strength.
 
Hmm, my last few tries with DXM ended up with puking (with not fully digested pills in the puke) and after that the only effect was my sleeplessness. It was about 6 months ago, or even more. I'll try again soon.
 
Ive been tripping on DXM about once a week lately and havent noticed any tolerance building yet. But I figure if I keep going at this rate eventually it will happen. Ive kept all my doses pretty low around 400 mgs and so far I havent had any disappointing trips. I'm going to try and boost it up a bit next time with some benedryl and see where that takes me.
 
Had quite the same - once upon a time I did DXM once a week/once in 2 weeks; one week I did 900mg, the next 450mg and didn't notice any tolerance. But then (suddenly) I just begun to feel hardly anything (but confusion and sleeplessness, as I said). Maybe it's because my stomach started to dislike DXM and refused to pass it further ;)
As I said, I'll check it soon (but after my glorius first time with acid :D )
 
Grapefruit juice and a couple Benedryl work well for me. It sucks I can't stand GFJ though, I often wonder if grapefruit pills would have the same effect.
 
I used DXM to try to quietly fight severe insomnia under the radar of all authority figures (Had to keep my ass out of an ED unit and was forced to appear to be clean and sane, psh). For about nine months I used a standard 300mg to fall asleep each night. By the end of that gestation period I no longer benefited from a dose lighter than 700 and resorted to the upper 800s to really zone out. After awhile, my stomach just seemed to stop tolerated the bitter taste DXM has and I called it quits for two years. I recently started using again and have found the mid-200mgs to even give me tracer-like visuals with spontaneous color. I don't plan on using DXM as much as I previously did (I have better prescriptions available to me that keep needing to reach that zombie-level of intelligence) but I feel it is a handy tool once more in feeling that necessary distance from the shit life is constantly throwing my way. I would suggest a good long break...

I have dexed at least 100 times in the past few years, tolerance is a bitch and builds slow and long like amphetamines, but I believe it nearly completely fades with time!

Slowing down from multiple times a week where tolerance was ridiculous down to less than once a month tops for half a year has me back to where 300-450mg will seriously fuck me up once again.

DXM to go to sleep?? I can sleep on it, but it certainly is speedier than sleepier in my opinion. Dissociatives make me want to chill sometimes, but I'm usually still kicking my legs around on DXM at all times.

With higher doses of DXM I find the dissociative state to allow me to separate myself from my manic anxieties and thus aid me in falling asleep. At these times I feel a light, pleasurable pulsating through my nervous system that soothes me into a self-encouraged paralysis. I have yet to try K, but guess that a K-hole may be similar. It is important to note that I am the type of person who can take 10mg of Ambien and still have sleep elude me. By chance, when you sleep on hallucinogenic levels of DXM do you experience disturbingly vivid dreams?
 
according to some dxm zine magazine article...their is this "50 limit" rule that the dxm magic vanishes :/

perhaps robotrippin once a week?...
