I haven't used DXM before but my boyfriend has and says if I can handle LSD and shrooms this should be a walk in the park. I'd feel a lot better knowing hes right, and I wouldn't want to freak myself out, worrying about it during the trip :\ Also which would you prefer over the other... Delsym or Robitussin or some other substance. I just want to be sure he knows what hes doing. I trust him but peace of mind is always a good thing. Thanks for all your help guys.​
 
DXM effects many people differently, with negative effects being decrease in motor functioning, histamine release, rapid heart rate, among others. You may want to start with a lower dose (~200mg) to see how you react to it, before you go for higher plateau doses. Be sure to dose with medicines only containing DXM, or you could harm yourself.

DXM is by no means as visual, clean, or safe as LSD. Also, it is a dissociative psychedelic, so the high is very different.

Thank you, I had a feeling he was just trying to put me at ease quickly.
 
IMHO it's the other way round.
I agree. LSD and shrooms are a lot different than dissociatives. I have had friends that have done LSD and shrooms on multiple occasions but freaked out and thought he was gonna die on DXM. I am usually mentally clear on LSD and shrooms but dissociatives will totally change your thought process and make some people do/think some crazy things. Tread lightly.
 
Any idea on the dosage for a beginner like myself? I was planning on take around 250 mg my first time,(probably using tussin) since i have really good "practice" with other hallucinations and I weigh about 125 lbs. Do you think Im over estimating how much I can handle? And should I definitely have some food in me prior to consumption?:\
 
First take less than 50mg. It's not going to get you high, just check if you are allergic to it. After 1-2 hours you can take more.
DXM has very distinct plateaus. You feel very different when you take 225, 450 or 700mg.

For the first time I took 225, but I could take more and still feel fine.
After 300mg you'll probably want to sit or lie down and not to talk with your parents or relatives.

People say different things about the fullness of the stomach prior to consumption. But with doses < 300mg you shouldn't puke unless you puke easily on other substations.

Read some FAQ's ;)

thanks very much mindtools, Believe me I intend to do my research now. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine with a 300mg dose but I will do what you suggested and see if im allergic first. I sincerely doubt it, but it's always good to be positive. Thank god parents are no longer a variable so I think It'll all go well. I'll update this thread after I've tripped to let you guys know how it went. Thanks again for all your help. =)
 
as far as weather or not you should eat, i guess eveyone is different, but i usually wait 4-6 hours after i ate my last meal, then i take the dxm. just a heads up, you may want to find some robitussin cough gels or some zicam cough max. both of those will be better than chugging syrup. as far as your first dose goes, like mindtools said you deffinately need to start with about 50mg just to see if you are allergic. there are guides to the different plateaus, i think you can find them on dextroverse, or just search google for "DXM plateaus" or "DXM dosing guide". i absolutely recommend you start on the first plateau, and after you have dosed that plateau for a while and feel you can control yourself while on that level, then maybe try a low 2nd plateau. hope this makes sense. and i hope you have a great trip.
 
I would definitely recommend joining a site like Dextroverse and also reading some of the good info they have on there.

Personally I prefer to fast before I take DXM but everyone is different obviously but when I do eat prior to dosing I usually get some pretty heavy nausea. 300mg is definitely a decent starting dose. You can also take a Benedryl or Dramamine to help with the nausea you may experience. Take it slowly and most importantly of all, be safe!

Thanks a lot.... i know exactly what your talking about. Do you think if I'm fine with the 2nd plateau it would be wise to go to the 3rd? I definitely wouldn't go any higher than that my first time. But thats the high I was hoping for in doing this. Thanks so much for your handy post. =)
 
i think if you do a 2nd plateau, and you feel comfortable with it, like super comfortable, for example: when i do a 2nd plateau dose i can still move like normal and interact with people and not seem fucked up. it dosent floor me like it used to. once i realized that i had control then i moved to a 3rd plateau, and even then it was a low 3rd. just respect the drug and you should be just fine.
 
Great High

just respect the drug and you should be just fine.
Perfect advise, I started out low around 60 mg found out I wasn't allergic. The high was more like a buzz at this level... then I took another 60-70 mg. I felt great on this level... a waited it out and took another 60 mg. This felt like the right time to stop.... It definitely wasn't as visual as acid, but I kept getting this strange body high, I said crazy shit but yet I felt more coherent. The only reason why I stopped upping the dose, was because I started to get this INSANE ITCH ATTACK! it came out of no where...And once I started to itch it never would have stopped. Was this an allergic reaction? or just a mind fuck? I'm happy I did manage to stop scratching though, it started to drive me crazy. All in all though, it was a great experience. And I'm definitely eager to try it again. Thanks for all your help %)
 
^The itching you experienced is histamine release, and can be eased by taking a low dose of benadryl.
