Hey guys, i'v been wanting to try DXM for a long time and i'v been doing a lot of research on dosing, but i can't find any information on a dosage for a guy my size (6'8 350lb). Are their any heavy weights out there that could point me in the right direction towards a does that would put me on the 2nd - 3rd plateau, would 525mg be enough or 800mg maybe?:)

hell yea my man! glad you're venturing into the wonderful world of DXM and bluelight. as a fellow noob and a fellow heavy weight we're in this together.

Anyway, I would say that for a first time Dex trip, high end second plateau is probably best, although I do highly recommend delving into third and fourth somewhere down the road ;). with regards to dosage, 800 would probably do it. maybe 850-900 would be best to be on the safe side. and as you've probably read, make sure its pure DXM, because at big boy doses any of the decongestants (namely CPM) can be pretty nasty. As long as its just DXM, you should be good to go! What would be perfect is three bottles of the Robitussen (or generic brand) gel caps, they are pure DXM and come in bottles of 20 caps w 15 mg each, so thats a nice round 900mg pure right there.
 
Alright, according to the handy-dandy Dex Calc, your ranges should be:

First Plateau
239-398

2nd
398-1193

3rd
1193-2386

4th
2386, which is a HELL of a lot.

But I seriously don't agree with these guys who say just dive in near third, especially when we're talking about such high doses. This is not about how tough you are, and we're not talking about alcohol here. You have to take the whole dose at once to get the proper effect, so there's no testing the waters and having a little more later, and there's no stopping when you go to far. You just have to ride it out. So be careful. This can get BAD when you do to much. Start off with like 100 mg, to test that your not enzyme deficient (you shouldn't feel anything, but it's an important test). Then wait a day or two and go for a 354 mg bottle, maybe less. If that's OK, Then add some next time. But never more than double it. It might take you a while to get up there, but the lower plateaus are fun in and of themselves, and it's much better to play it safe.

I tend to agree that its not best to dive head first into a 1400+ dose, and that 2368 is a fuckload of dex, but i think if you are truly excited about trying it and comfortable with it, which you seem to be, you'd be safe with going for a high end 2nd plateau after one test of a couple hundred mg. thats just my .o2

so essentially, i do agree with special J on most points, but after a toxicity test run and waiting a couple days, i still stand by my 900 suggestion
 
I guess 2nd plateau was just a really intense experience for me the first couple of times. But also, the the higher you go, the harder it is to really appreciate the lower plateaus later. Some effects disappear when you get to the higher plateaus, so you may never get to experience them. People just seem to rush it, when there's really no hurry. And there's people like my friend, who isn't enzyme deficient, but is still a little oversensitive for his projected weight. Had a crazy experience he was totally not ready for.
So yeah, 900 mg for first real hit would probably work, but there's no reason he needs to jump straight there, when for an extra $10 or so he could have a few more sessions and take his time. And remember that only about 1/3 of people actually like DXM. That's something best discovered when you're not tripping balls.
 
Wow, thanks guys. This is all a bunch of helpful information. I'm probably going to try a dosage close to 1200-1500mg, witch seems to be in the range that i'm looking for in regards of plateaus. I am very looking forward to the look on the cashiers face when shes ringing up 5 bottles of Robitussin lol, i might throw in a (Cough, Cough) to try to sell the realism of the whole situation. Oh, and to add a little back round to all of this. This won't be my first trip with DXM, i did 345mg of DXM the night i made this thread and it didn't do shit all for me so i figure the dose i'v chosen should be fine.:)

I would go for about exactly 1000. About the third plateau range for a big guy like you, should be fine. I'd carry around some antihistamines and marijuana though, especially if you're doing Robitussin. You don't wanna be throwing up a gram of DXM syrup/gels. It always sucks the first time you throw up, ruins your trip big time. Also...triples CCCs are pretty bad for you, I'd take the robos over those any day.
 
Hmm, I don't think you're getting the difference between 2nd plateau and 3rd. Plateaus 1 & 2 are linked together. So are 3 & 4. They act on separate parts of the brain, function in different ways. If you want to enjoy lights, sounds, incredible music, or any sort of input from the outside world, 2nd plateau is the bomb. I've had some great conversations on it, and being outdoors at all is awesome. That's really when it's most like a psychedelic. All that goes out the window when you enter 3rd. Your brain just quits doing those things. Instead, you end up lying their with your thoughts super-amplified, as your waking consciousness is locked in a tinier and tinier corner of your brain. Which leaves you as an immovable pile, with virtually no contact with the outside world or any stimulus. Basically a strange K-hole. Which is fine, if that's what you want. But I find it's better to think of P's 1/2 and 3/4 as two different drugs, and once you've done 3/4, it's often difficult to go back and get the effects of a 1/2.
