Dextromethorphan (DXM) 1st Plateau Help

[Alx4m916]

I'm trying to hit the first plateau. I've done second plateau a couple times and I heard that the first is a bit different and I would like to experience it. I'm trying to hit a SOLID first plateau. I weight 178 pounds, give or take 2 pounds depending on the day. I will be using Robitussin Long Acting Cough Syrup which is 15mg DXM for each 5ml and nothing else, although it does say it's 1.4% alcohol by volume aswell but that won't play the slightest role imo. So the question is, how much in mg would I need to take to reach a SOLID first plateau?

I weigh about what you do and I took 160 mg DXM (the 10 mg pills, not the syrup) my first time and that gave me a modest buzz. I don't know exactly how much got you to the second plateau but if I were to do over again I'd do about 200 mg for a solid first plateau for myself.

DXM questions are better suited for the Psychedelic Drugs forum, although not a traditional Psychedelic, questions about it are directed there as it is a dissasociative drug and they fall in that category and can be very psychedelic at times, so am shifting this to there.

The first plateau is between 1.5 to 2.5 mg/kg, so considering your weight, you should do 121 - 202 mg for a first plateau dose. I wouldn't advise going over 200 if you're looking to hit the first, as it's pretty easily over-shot. 150 - 180 mg would be your best bet.

Also, all dosage information can be found here. Just enter your weight and hit 'calculate' and it'll give you a readout of dose/plateau.

OP, first of all, keep in mind that your body chemistry can vary from anything predicted by these dosage calculators you will find online.... but I must say I do agree with MrGrunge on the dose suggestion ^

I think 150 should be a good bet, 180 just might be pushing it for most of your weight. The thing i must add though, is that I do notice distinctly different, and in fact less desirable effects from the "extended release" version (DXM polisterex) than the bromide salt. I strongly recommend - and I say this on the basis of extensive personal experience and research - would be to go with Dextromethorphan HBr, rather than the polisterex. It's been a while since my Dex days, so I don't remember which of those is the AI in the product you mentioned, but it's worth looking into.

160 to 180 should do it, but be warned: the 1st plateau is very subtle. I don't consider it worthwhile at all. Very little is going to happen and you'll probably just be bored and disappointed, and will want to stick to 2nd and 3rd. But if you're curious, go for it, maybe you'll have a more interesting experience than I did.

In fact, you know what it's like when you start coming up to the 2nd plateau, before you reach it? Well, that's a lot like what the 1st plateau is like. It sort of is that, but it's a bit more distinct and elongated if you're only hitting that level. It's not much.

the FAQ says that a first plateau is 1.5mg/kg - 2.5mg/kg...... but then it says that for experienced DXM users a first plateau is more like 2.7mg/kg.

first plateau is something i have not tried,

but second made me vomit on syrup and feel ill basically the whole night,
pretty bad body load,
its a weird trip,
don't underestimate dxm,
