I'm a skinny guy, about 127lbs.

I bought some Robotussin CoughGels containing no active ingredients besides DXM.

I took 11 pills which would add up to 165mg in total, hoping for a 1st plateau experience. Overall I found the experience rather disappointing. The difference in my motor skills was pretty fun for a while but then I just got nauseous. I tried walking around my house for the majority of the trip but it was so nauseating I had to lie down. I finally decided that I was in an extremely uncomfortable state and wanted to sleep so I didn't have to deal with the nausea and dizziness.

Upon going to sleep I decided that I didn't like DXM and I wouldn't try it again... But when I woke up, the dizziness was gone, the nausea was gone, and I was left with this clearly altered state of mind. I wandered around my home for a little while before going outside and it felt awesome! I had so much energy and felt this sense of exhilaration! Movement was rewarding and it was kinda similar to MDMA, but more dreamy and surreal.

The MDMA-like effects lasted for about 45 minutes before I came down.

The entire experience left me really confused. I hated the dizzy, confusing, nauseating part... But I absolutely loved the feeling after I woke up. (When I woke up I was not coming down, I still felt really intoxicated, it was just a lot more clear.) I wish I knew how long I was asleep.

What did I do wrong? Did I take too much and venture over into a low 2nd plateau trip?

EDIT: Also, I was told that walking around after taking the pills was recommended because it helped to get rid of the nausea. I did not walk around at all. After taking the pills I sat around and listened to music while waiting for them to kick in. Should I have walked?

Honestly my advice would be to eat a whole bottle (300mgs), it should give you some definite effects but not so much that it becomes overwhelming.

Also if you are comfortable with the high you can smoke some weed to add a whole lot to the experience.

As always, remain safe and informed:)

And welcome to Bluelight! :D
 
I'd say you should have just stayed still. Walking and movement in general is not really something people do on dxm, because of the nausea. Just lay back and put some music on.

Yes it can be quite euphoric, even surpassing mdma if the moment hit's you just right and the dosage is correct. Don't give up on dex, it's a good one IMO and worth learning how to take in the right way
 
If the nausea is overwhelming, try smoking some cannabis or consume a small amount of diphenhydramine with the DXM.
I've never taken DXM without diphenhydramine and (usually) cannabis, and I've never experienced nausea.
 
A little over a year ago I decided to experience DXM and drank a whole bottle of Robitussin. (No other active ingredients.) It was quite an overwhelming experience. I couldn't open my eyes, and when I did, my whole vision was blurred. The rest of the night had to be spent in complete darkness. I couldn't make sense of anything. I remember at one point that I sat up on the couch, and I felt like I was sitting on a computer chair spinning super fast. I don't get motion sickness easily. I remember laughing my ass off and telling my friend it was fun lol. Getting pretty annoyed with the spinning, I just laid back down and proceeded to have the most awkward night ever. We had some light trance going in the background, but I hardly could recognize it as music at the time. I felt detached from my body the majority of the trip. It was so overwhelming that I kept asking and saying to my friend "is this real?" "are you still there?" "I'm not coherent" about every 10 to 20 minutes. lol God only knows how long that went on for. I will have to say, while my eyes were closed laying on that couch, I had some insane CEVs and thought processes. I had some crazy ass revelation that the feelings of DXM were similiar to a time when I was sick with the flu at 6 years old and that my mom got me high off of Robitussin by accident. I felt like I was asleep in my bed; I would wake up and realize that the night had all been a dream. It wasn't. Hence the reason why I had to keep reassuring myself by occasionally questioning my friend. We eventually wanted to go lay in bed. I tried walking, but experienced the dreaded "robo-walk." I have no clue how I got upstairs into bed. Woke up the next day tired and nauseous.

I now realize after going through that experience that it was a pretty large dose for my body mass and first experience. I'm 5'3" and 115lbs. I don't regret a thing, but I'm wary of trying it again.

Just thought I'd share my experience of getting an overwhelming dose in comparison to your underwhelming. :) I'd much like to find a happy median.

Thanks for the replies! I think I'll give DXM another chance. I'll buy another bottle of the cough-gels and this time I'll take one pill every 1-2minutes to space out the dose. Hopefully that will help with the nausea, and if it doesn't I'll smoke some bud and pop a benadryl :)
 
Oh my... I had the same effects taking a cough syrup (a full 75 ml bottle I think) called Robitussin. But I really felt sleepy after 2 hours. Is this normal?
 
I managed to choke down a bottle of DXM syrup and it COMPLETELY fucked my balance right up (the trippy thing was the dude telling me like 5 minutes before something like "now you understand the diaper" - had my balance problem while trying to pee). For days after i was super-tired cos I spent all my energy not falling down.

Nausea is really common with DXM which is why I think it's a "park your shit in bed and listen to some great music, let your mind wander and create a movie for you on your eyelids" drug.

I've found the best way is to get it in as quickly as possible, redosing doesn't seem to have quite the same effect.
 
I always find puking on DXM makes the whole experience a lot better. Wait like 45 minute when the itch starts, then wait until you feel nauseous enough to puke, then just do it.
