I opened bottle after bottle. I spread before me one-hundred and six robotussin gelcaps. The sight of it all disgusted me, but swallowing them was a completely different story.

It took around 30min. for me to take down all of them. All 106 equaled up to about 1600mg. I have a small tolerance to dxm. Around 300mg gets me going very well. I was looking for a different experience... and a different experience is what i got.

45 min. after ingested I vomited a handful of times. I'm not quite sure, my friend who was tripsitting me told me maybe 5 times. After the vomitting my body went completely numb. My vision went from crosseyed to completely blank. I was in a giant black room, endless. Like the space. There were millions of televisions, each playing a piece of my life.
My body starts shaking.
I'm sweating tons and my body is shaking uncontrollably. Its very hard for me to remember what exactly happened, but from the little i remember, and what my friends told me this is how i acted for the next six hours/

I attempted to walk only twice. Each time either falling or barely getting up. My eyes were extremely bloodshot, and with little words i said, they all rhymed. My friend said i spoke in a different language, complete gibberish. The room was shattered into two pieces, lights were flashing in all directions.

I had dosed at 9pm and it was now 7am and i was still unable to speak, walk, or move around to much. Nausea struck me in waves. I didn't vomit though. thirty hours after dosing my vision became completely normal. I was back at baseline around 48 hours after dosing. The afterglow was a trip in itself. I was constantly hallucinating and stuttered every other sentence. The afterglow lasted about 3-4 days. My memory is still hazy from the experience. Its been two weeks and i still cant quite put it into words. I still have much trouble forming sentences verbally. I feel as though i have experienced death, and the rebirth of my inner soul. The beings i encountered during my trip reprogrammed my body and mind to function properly for my existence, my rebirth.

im glad you had such an amazing experience, but i feel sorry for your gray matter and cognitive ability

perhaps you should move on to a 'cleaner' dissociative like ketamine?
 
^ There really are better ways to get high. Pro-drug as I am, you are killing some motherfucking braincells dosing like that! Hell 3-400mg of DXM had me feeling dirty as fuck the two times I tried it. Get some real psychedelics in you, the enlightenment isn't worth the brainrot with this one.
 
Dude you fucked your brain up with that one pretty decently, know you want to do it again, but MORE?!

Yeah, umm, yeah....
 
Man, 1600 mgs is way, way too much! The most I ever dared to try was two bottles of robo gels (600mgs). That was fucking out there. I had trouble speaking; walking was more like shaky shuffling, but everything took on seemingly epic proportions. That was interesting. Anyone who says that dxm isn't psychedelic hasn't taken a high enough dose. That being said, it is also really, really not good for your poor brain. My advice to you is to wait a long, long time before you try a heroic dose again. And frankly 2gs is excessive to the point of just being a macho dumbass IMO. What do you think you will gain from that kind of dose? You already said the adverse side effects from 1600 mgs were bad. Now you want to add another 400 mgs to that? There is nothing more to be gained by being foolish and dosing even higher; you could seriously fuck yourself up in a way that you might not be able to ride out. That's just my 2 cents bro...
 
Don't take 2 grams.

Sounds like you could barely remember what happened with 1600mg!

For real, just don't do it. Try around 600mg or so, you'll like it much better. Better yet, take your normal dose and add some mushrooms to the mix.
 
I also beg of you: please don't take 2 grams of DXM! I would bet you could get a more valuable experience from much less, like 800-1000mg. What is the point of taking it if you can barely remember it?

Also, I'm nearly positive that 1600mg dose did some serious brain damage. I would recommend very strongly against repeating that kind of dose at all. At least try a 800-1000mg dose first, to see if it will be sufficient.

Very good report though, well-written. Thanks for sharing. :)
 
dude you scare the crap out of me

dxm can equal permanent problems if you do so much of it. vomiting sucks! there are better ways man!

atleast you had a sitter though, good report from you and him

Don't jump the gun on brain damage. Your actually quite wrong. Look into it more before you judge so quickly. There has been reports of "addiction", in terms of depression, etc, for chronic dosing around 1600 - 2000mg range, however, it is after 6+ months of daily dosing. Also know that it is theorized that disassociative drug use affecting both the temporal and frontal, but remember damage is a overly vague statement used far too often. Brain damage is often used relating to drug use despite limited scientifics, just as epidemic is used for obesity yet the reports surrounding it are fronts for the diet industry. Do you catch the drift?

Propaganda in news regarding the DXM abuse in the US, and other countries, has listed a side-effect of heavy use as brain damage. But remember, a single, high dosage, will most likely cause nothing but temporary disassociation in one's conscious extended past the average half life of the substance's activity. Remember though, DXM's known links to deaths have been at 3000mg+ ranges and resulting from pulmonary distress brought on by numerous variables. If your with a sitter at a high dosage, upper bounds at 2000mg, you should be fine. The projected toxicity ranges is stated to be between 2000 and 3000mg for the average adult.

Remember, bronchial dilators can be used easily, from borrowing Albuterol from someone to stimulate the dilation through activation of adrenic system receptors, or even use of ephedrine in limited quantities (or pseudoephedrine).

Schizophrenia, psychosis, etc, is moreso psychiatric disorders resulting from over stimulation of NMDA receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate, and can lead to seizures, etc. However, like I said, keeping the 2000mg dosage as a single use event, and having a sitter, possible bronchial dilator if necessary (some people experience laboured breathing with disassociatives at high doses), and being ready for quite the experience. Know this, 2000mg dosage will in theory for users cause a lack of sensory input to the brain from the body. Naive users often believe the lack of ability to sense your heart beating, minor aches, etc, as signs of other conditions such as heart failure. Be aware, no physical harm exists, vomitting, electrolyte and acid/base levels will be thrown off track but very muchso temporary ailments.

A banana, some water, and a good night's sleep with a few days of calm activity is all you need after a 2000mg trip. For tripping, be in an area without dense air (congested, warm, stale/dry), you will have an overall better experience, etc.

Trust me, I have a lot of experience dealing with the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor type, and understanding the lack of harm that exists (no permanent damage, however, no gaurantee of temporary psychosis or insomnia, etc) will ultimately make the experiences more enjoyable.

I don't use DXM myself for tripping, I usually use it for treatment of pulmonary disorders I get sometimes, very rare, and ocassionally in 150 to 300mg dosages for potentiation / tolerance adjustments of other substances.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the bit of seizures I referenced at one point was moreso due to a oversweeping statement towards disassociatives in general and isn't related to the psychiatric natures themselves, but over stimulation of receptors affecting the frontal and temporal lobes. Know also that one's genetics towards liver enzymes, and brain makeup will affect the possibilities for one to gain one of the very rare afflictions. The seizures is related to limbic seizures, seizure-like brain activity that can result in possible damage. There is strong links of epilepsy to disassociatives in terms of symptoms of chronic over stimulation leading to toxicity, but its moreso psychosis / paranoia in short.

Theres a lot of information out there, its more general on disassociatives, but know that DXM is in short a very safe pharmaceutical. The LD50 in mice is 210mg/kg however it is unknown for humans. Don't go above 2000mg dosages, it carries risk of psychosis extending for days, possible respiratory problems, and the 2000mg dosage should be for those atleast 130 to 150 lbs / 60 to 70 kg, and around age 17 minimum. The recomendation of age and weight is in terms of development of the brain, liver enzymes, and understanding the microgram ratios so that high doses will have lower ratios despite higher dosages. Also, understand, 1200 to 1600mg is the recommended maximum dosage range I would say for most users unless experienced, and intelligent enough to know the after-effects and how they will affect your daily routines.

from personal experience, there are horrible side effects. maybe not brain damage, but my memory got really bad, my motor skills were effected , just how fast i would come to conclusions from a problem.

its not worth it, there are so many better drugs out there that dont leave you feeling like a retard during the trip.

There's nothing definitive about DXM-related brain damage. Perhaps it can cause it, perhaps not. Studies show it both ways. What I can say for sure is that a few DXM trips within a summer for me, at much, much, much lower doses (around 300mg or less) left me with horrendous mental side effects for the better part of a year, which decreased over the next year.

Anyway my point was that such an excessive dose is unnecessary. A lower, more assuredly safe dose would probably produce a better experience, since you would be able to remember the whole thing and make more out of it.
 
hey OP you know your peaked out at like a gram if you wiegh 200 pounds you just don't need more than that, it's as gonzo as it gets. Don't take more, and ESPECIALLY not in the cough pill form. you can find powder if you look

The mental effects you experience are most likely related to other drug use. Otherwise its because of your genetic makeup. Its hard to tell, schizophrenics, epileptics, etc, have a much more profound impact upon their mentality after taking a disassociative.

Anyways, I'm rolling, first time in a year, haha shit...

Total speculation on your part. And at the time I was only using marijuana. I think it's more likely that we're all affected differently. But just because you like DXM doesn't mean it's a harmless drug.

And I'm not schizophrenic, epileptic, bipolar, or anything like that.
 
god damn PureLife, do you have a death wish?
