So it started around 9pm I guess, my roommate and I decided to try something new. Went and bought 708mg of Robitussin Cough (or w/e wtf it was called) downed them around 9:30pm.

Was getting pissed off by around 10:30pm cause nothing was happening. I then took a handful of CCC to get me to 798mg. By 11pm we both broke out in what seemed to be a heat rash? Not 100% sure, but our heads was itching like crazy and our shoulders looked like we just got a bad-ass sunburn and the trip was starting to set in.

Around 11:30 or 12, not really sure as it really starts become a blur from here. The itching on my head finally stopped, but seemed to have moved to my hands, my palms and between my fingers was itching very bad. By now I have lost all sense of time.

I would say around 1am the itching finally stopped for both of us. And we started enjoying it. Ended up sitting outside smoking and staring at the strobes I have installed in my cars headlights for about 30-45min. They seemed to be flashing at all different kinds of sequences. Yet I know they are a steady flash. Then proceeded to my roommates BMW and for some reason was felling the glass and the hood cause it felt very sexy.... weird.

Around 2-2:30am we decided to go back inside, for some reason we went into Call of Duty mode to breach our house... C4 on the door, shotgun in hand with my wing man on my left, we proceed to breach the door shooting all terrorist as we make our way to the kitchen. Then I toss a frag through the kitchen into the door that leads to my room, at this time we decide fuck this and end up sitting on the couch and watching Mr. deed's (was already playing on ABC)

Around 2:45am we decided we wanted a chicken on a stick from the gas station around the corner. Got in my car drove there (DO NOT RECOMMEND!) As we are checking out two police officers come in and I am nervous as fuck. We end up making it back to the house with our corn dogs (They was out of the chicken!!) End up watching the shopping network until around 3:30am when we decide to finally try to go to sleep. I come in my room lay down and watch about 10min of Alice in wonderland.. lol before I turn it off and just stare at my black lights and curtains before finally passing out.

There may be parts I missed or just do not remember. NOTE: Techno is VERY distracting when on DXM! At least it was for us. I could not concentrate at all with it playing. I would have to turn it off to talk to my roommate or type anything out on the computer.

I do not recall any hallucinations or anything like that. Just a very enjoyable feeling (after the itching and heat went away!) and a nice prospective on life. and a in-dept conversation on strobe lights.

I am mainly interested in why we got the heat rashes and itching if anyone else has experienced this or knows what causes it.


Moderator's Note:

Do not ever take CCC's (Coricidin Cough and Cold) recreationally. I has been responsible for many deaths because along with DXM, it contains Chloropheniramine Maleate, which is a blood pressure medication. If you plan on dosing with DXM, look at the active ingredients to make certain that Dextromethorphan is the only chemical it contains.

perhaps some kind of opiate was ingested along with the cough syrup? opiates cause itching
No, it was DXM. DXM causes rashes and itching, although it doesn't happen to everyone and it doesn't happen on every trip.

Of the three times I did DXM, I had the rash and itching once. Nothing unusual about the dose or brand, and no other possible adulterants either.
 
Do not ever take CCC's (Coricidin Cough and Cold). It contains Chloropheniramine Maleate, which cannot be taken safely in recreational doses. That is the cause of your intense histamine release. You were overdosing.
 
man i don't understand how people can still be taking Coricidin it's like dxm law already.
 
i was referring to this comment as if it were a generalization, not as if only direct @ OP

"man i don't understand how people can still be taking Coricidin it's like dxm law already. "
 
I understand about the CCC's and knew what I was getting into before hand. From what I've read the lethal dose of CPM was 150mg? I got no where close to that as I only took a few to boost the dxm

My roommate didn't take any and we both had the itching and I'm guessing they where heat rashes on our shoulders and chest. So no the CCC's couldn't have caused that.
 
the itching is what people call the "robo itch".
it happens from time to time, don't worry about it. It's a histamine release.
If you don't want it to happen the next time take a benadryl. Also, isn't your first time dose of dxm a bit... high?
 
^ Yeah the "Robo Itch" is quite common. Don't think much of it. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't.
 
800mg of DXM is a hefty dose if it's your first time... I had 3 3rd plateau trips on DXM, one of which came with the Robo-itch... like mentioned above, it depends... sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, DXM isn't really consistent between trips.

Don't eat triple-C's, they are a bad trip waiting to happen... I used them once on top of a 200ml bottle of good ol' Robo and I became so dissociated that I believed I was mentally dead, and was comfortable with that.
 
Never, never, never do DXM from cough syrup containing other active ingredients, especially CCC. I just really wish people would read DXM FAQ before trying it. And two bottles is too much for a first trip IMO, but a bit late for the op. Not everyone enjoys dissociatives.

Not that I'm really in the position to be judgemental, as I randomly popped a 20mg 2c-e capsule that my friend gave me with practically no research.

I have had robo-itching on occasion. It usually lasts about 20min and then goes away. Only maybe once every 5 trips do I have that happen, and it is not alltogether unpleasant because scratching the itchies (as long as you don't do it too rough to make your skin raw) is kind of enjoyable IMO.
 
He didn't take that many CCC's, so it probably didn't bother him; if it did; I'm sure it was hardly noticeable. Nice report though, DXM has always given me very wild experiences that have changed the way I view life.

DXM did that to me, even though I only tripped on it a handful of times... but I also had a hard time dealing with the insight I got from DXM... it fucked me up enough that I could call it a bad trip if I wished, but I think that now I can appreciate the experience from a better perspective. It took a few months for me to realise that, but otherwise DXM was a really interesting experiment %)
 
dude if u take 8 ccs u will be fine, im living proof, and itz a trip, sumtimes good, sumtimes bad, itz scary that wayy. ive only did this a couple times when i had no weed, or h, or i had a really bad cough.
 
yea earlier this night took 15 ccc's like a fool and i was fer sure o/ding but i was fuckeeddd up just seeing crazy shit and being real detached. first i felt like i blew some oxy, then i felt like i ate some cule, right down to the jaw clenching, saying random shit, touching my arms and what not and lastly just sitting w/ my hands under my butt bein all cracked out

What just happened here ? I'm not sure if this was the coolest report I had ever read, or something so random that my mind can't process it.
Can picture this in mind, and the state you guys were in ... shhhh
I'd love to have seen that
Just wanted to note
Take care bud
