For the past year I've abused and went on week long binges of dxm. I used it to get off my daily kratom intake of 30+ grams a day with success. I was taking 400mgs + every day for about two weeks and let me tell you I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Sure it helped me get off kratom but I almost tipped into complete psychosis. I ended up breaking down in my counselors office talking about suicide and almost checked myself into a mental ward. I started using dxm around four years ago. I used it heavily for about a year like once or twice a week. The first ten or so times with DXM were so magical. But as the years went by It just became something to drown my pain in. I quit for a year and a half and never expected to ever use it again well I have been using it about every week for like 3 months now and im over it. Im done finished never touching this shit ever again and by writing this report I hope to solidify my choice and hopefully warn people of the dangers of abusing this drug. I think it can be a great experience. Sometimes. Something that I think every psychonaught should try because when used respectfully in a spiritual setting can be a amazing experience. But I will never go back to it. Iv tripped hundreds of times and it scares the living shit out of me to think what permanent damage I've done to my brain body and spirit. DXM is a part of my personality for good or I'll. It was the friend who's shoulder I cried on too many times.

Recently since dxm has no pleasurable effects on me I went on a month long diphenhydramine binge. Dosing 250 to 500 mgs a day. This is a dirty, lonely, heavy bitch of a drug and I hate it. I hate the dark pull it had on me. Unlike dxm I think the trip off diphenhydramine is scary, dirty and useless. A good way to ruin your brain for weeks at a time. Never again. Trust me this drug is bad news to anyone especially someone like me who is an introvert.

Needless to say I've really made some bad decisions in my life but I think by abusing these two drugs I've harmed myself more than any other illegal drug. Im positive dxm and diphenhydramine are the drugs that pushed me over the edge and caused my diagnosis of being bipolar. Iv done every drug under the moon meth, heroin, lsd, mushrooms, dmt, mxe, Ketamine, oxytocin, hydrocodone, pseudoephedrine, kratom, mdpv, mdma, apvp, 25I-Nbome, effexor, 4 mec, mescaline, prozac, zoloft, Xanax, klonopin, ativan, Valium, zyprexa, lithium, Gabapentin, Paxil, Tegratol, buspirone, coke, Crack the list goes on and on but none have been as harmful to my body or brain as diph and dex. Please take this and learn from my mistakes don't fuck around with OTC drugs. Because they are legal it makes them so dangerous for someone with a personality like mine. The pain and suffering they have caused me is endless. Love yourself. Respect yourself enough to use helpful drugs and not these dirty filthy scumbag shit drugs. Peace.
 
Disocio0 - thank you for sharing your experience! That sounds terrible. I remember I took an insane amount of diphenhydramine back when I was a teenager it was either 500 mg or 1000mg, don't remember if the pills were 25 or 50 mg but it was terrible. I puked for an hour, and then existed in a strange quasi hyper/drowsie state feeling extremely nauseous. I was sick all night. I have never touched the stuff since. You're absolutely right - horrible stuff. Thx again for sharing and take care of yourself!
 
Some of the legal drugs are the worst ones. Medications can do as much harm as any street opiates, and although that requires a prescription what can we say about alcohol. Legally accepted, very publicized, but for a surprisingly percentage of drinkers that's simply a life addiction, not to mention the social and family related issues.
 
As someone who has used these two drugs. Most people can't handle them more then once. These two drugs are dangerous and shouldn't be played with. These drugs have caused me damage and I have struggled with these drugs for a while now.
 
I'm feeling like shit coming off opiates and was craving a high,my mind was wondering to using the legal high Dxm because I've never used it.not anymore..this is why I like BL
 
I highly appreciate this post, especially because I can strongly relate to the DXM usage.

I personally was on a DXM binge that lasted a little over two years, multiple times a month. It was always the gels, either Robitussin or some generic pharmacy brand, as I don't take too well to drinking syrup. Every time I tripped I had to increase my dose and I found myself ingesting as many as 60 pills throughout one night. Third plateau was my comfort zone. If I wasn't going to reach it with the amount of gels I had, I would search throughout my house and medicine cabinets to make up for the extra mgs. It was horrible. There was a short period of time where the stores near me quit stocking the "Robo-gels" as I called them and only had generic Coricidin. I abused these as well until I went through horrifying tachycardia one night and I quit Coricidin forever, but not my DXM use.

I felt dirty, it was a dirty trip, and as the two year mark approached, the trips that used to be mind-blowing and fun turned into long nights of me begging for my body to go to sleep so it would be over. The trips turned into heavy body highs, where I felt (and looked, to other people) like a true zombie. Everyone could tell I was zonked out of my mind. I would go to class and work still high from the previous night. I decided to take a tolerance break for a couple of months, then one night I tried again, ended up passing out, and woke up feeling like I just had four shots and a bad batch of edibles. There was a faint ringing noise in my head the entire time. DXM was no longer the same.

I tried Diphenhydramine a couple of times, but it never did anything to me. My old roommate would "trip" on it and talk to people who weren't there, as I just watched and waited for it to kick in. So that drug is just a joke in my eyes. Actually, they both are. I could have done so much better things during the two years I wasted my life.

Anyways, I really emphasize with your story and I'm glad you shared it. Didn't mean to write such a lengthy response, but I've never really openly discussed it so.
 
I would never try to get high on Benadryl and it seems to be universally considered a "bad idea".

I've considered doing DXM before, though. Just because it's there and I've never done it...it has always seemed to me to be a classic "kids drug", something freshmen in high school do maybe? Heh. Some people really seem to enjoy it, though. An opiate addict friend of mine looked back on his DXM trips with nostalgia. I'm not very into dissociatives, though, (at all) so I think there's a high chance that I'd have an unpleasant experience if I ever tried it.
 
Like any abused drug it can turn ugly. However most of these drugs can be used on occasion to good effect. Balance is always the key and some self control. Not easy for many.
 
Dxm for a long time was my drug of choice. Not because it's legal and easy to get but because it induced the best most mind blowing experience for me. I think once in a while dxm can be a powerful and enjoyable psychedelic. Diphenhydramine though is garbage. I've gotten pleasurable effects on small doses but anything above 200 mgs is horrible. Like cosmic trigger said. Some people can use drugs responsibly but for someone like me diphenhydramine and DXM are especially dangerous because of how accessable they are. Be careful friends. Thanks for the feedback.
