The struggle itself toward the heights is enough t
So this is a report on my first 4th plateau experience, I did 1st, 2nd, and then 3rd plateau doses in chronological order, then did a few more 3rd Plateau doses. This was over the span of a few months. Now where is there to go after 3rd? I purchased an industrial sized CVS Tussin Extra strength, a Vicks 44 dry cough, and 2 bottles of CVS brand gel capsules then added some capsules I had laying around…totaling 1710mg of DXM and 0mg of anything else(never forget to get straight DXM formulations!!!). I then said goodnight to my parents and went into my bedroom.

10:00pm- I take all of the gel capsules and head to the shower.

10:30pm- Now that I'm nice and clean I drink all the cough syrup and head to bed, I knew the capsules took longer to digest, which is why I took them earlier.

11:15pm, After a while of internet searching bed I begin to feel the 1st plateau, the music I’m listening to amplifies from good to amazing and everything looks kinda funny.

11:30pm, I’m in disbelief, the 1st plateau lasted fleeting moments before my sensory function started giving out. The music appeared and dissapeared in waves until it became almost unnoticeable. It’s become almost impossible to coherently interact with people through instant messaging, I was discussing the fact that I had just taken a 4th plateau dose with a friend, so I had to say goodbye and give up on the computer.

12:30-1:00am, Though I know an hour has passed it seems like only moments since I was online and listening to music. I've been getting some vague fractal patter type CEVs and slowly losing connection with my body. At one point I reach down and touch my leg, thoguh I am aware that I am touching my own leg my hand feels as though it is touching someone elses leg and my leg feels as though it is being touched by someone elses hand. It’s also starting to become apparent that my concepts of time and space are disappearing.

2:00am, At this point I distinctly remember looking over at the clock next to my bed and reading the number 200, completely unaware that it symbolized a time or was even a clock. This is the last contact I truly remember having with my room, after this I have no recollection of time, it could have been a minute or it could have been hours.

2:01am or 6:00am or any time in-between, At this point my trip differs from my previous experiences significantly. I go from losing sensory and motor function to losing my body and all consciousness of the world around me. I now feel as though my thoughts are their own entity freely floating through an infinite black abyss, my first reaction was to assume I had died and this was the afterlife where everyone’s soul/mind just freely wandered about. Even though I had made a fairly certain assumption that I was dead, it was not a moment of fear, it was actually something I was just content with accepting. Shortly after I came to this conclusion I came across another entity of thoughts, I could not see it, but I could hear it. This other entity told me I was not dead, and that come sunlight I would awake where I had left my body, back on earth. The entity then disappeared and I came to a new conclusion, my mind had left my body and entered a new plane of existence. One that was calm and tranquil.

Retrospective: This trip report is years old, though I edited parts today(for grammar and style, the substance remained the same). During another 4th plateau experience I had after this particular trip I came to conclude that this "alternate plane of existence" was truly my conscious mind taking a trip through my subconscious. This made it in no way less profound, the experience of losing your body can truly alter the way you see the world though, and I must say 4th plataeu trips are something to be respected and entered into with caution.
 
First thing is...

You're lucky you DIDN'T die. DXM overdoses occur near 1 Gram of DXM and since you took almost twice that, you either have a huge tolerance, have used other dissociatives before or are just plain lucky. I recommend no one else tries this. There is nothing recreational about death.

I'm really glad I haven't tried this (based on this). I can barely control my subconscious as it is, I cannot imagine having a trip through it, let alone coming back from that trip. I have way too many bottled up emotions that I can't remember anyways. If they were suddenly all revealed to me at once - I'm not sure I could take that trauma. With that being siad it's interesting that you concluded this peaceful, and serene place was your subconscious.

I find that interesting mainly because I don't thing that's anywhere near what my subconscious would be like...

I'm not sure where you are getting your information because I have essentially memorized the DXM FAW by William White and always calculated the proper mg/kg ratio to hit a certain plateau safely. As I said hitting the 4th plateau is to be taken very seriously, one should have a trip sitter present at this type of dosage, and the proper dosage fore your weight is to be calculated. But I am fairly certain this is not a dangerous dosage for someone that is 210+lbs
 
Swampfox- I don't know where you heard the LD50 for DXM but I'm pretty sure a lethal dose is more something like 3g. I weigh 180lbs and have taken up to 1.5g doses. Not that I reccomend it.

Anyways nice report OP. I am a DXM enthusiast as well. It's just we have a love-hate relationship after my terrifying sigma psychosis that got me a $10,000 ambulance ride to the ER. I have used DXM for years and become very experienced with it but when I went into a psychosis after 7 straight days of dosing 2x a day with pure powder, I came to really respect DXM. Never knew it could mindfuck you so bad but I learned that the hard way. Lol.

I believe 3g is correct, but there is no reason to ever take more than 2,000mg because that will get pretty much anyone that isn't morbidly obese to hit the 4th plateau hard. This is taken from the DXM FAQ: "Never exceed 20 mg/kg (or 2000 mg, whichever is lower) of DXM under any circumstances, and never exceed 15 mg/kg (or 1500 mg) unless you have a trip-sitter who is experienced and capable in the event of a medical emergency."
 
You're right. After doing light research I realized I was thinking about Diphenhydramine dosages.

Even so, I don't recommend this dosage. It's still quite dangerous.

I don't reccomend this dosage either, especially for anyone under 200lbs(90kg), to them I say NEVER exceed 1,500mg. Unfortunately for many of us that weigh over 200lbs sticking to the 1,500mg rule could preclude us from ever reaching the 4th plateau, so we must cautiously bump our dosage up to 1,600-1,700mg. This is also obviously not something anyone should ever do without having tried lower dosages of DXM first, so one should know how sensitive they are to DXM before they even think about trying 4th plateau doses.

I say all this because I feel it would be futile to tell someone, "Oh, you want to hit 4th plateau this time? You should lose 20lbs. and then take 1,500mg, until then you shouldn't bother."
