DXM - 1st Time

OK, this is how the story goes. I am quite new to drugs as it is, only having done pot before. RussellG had talked to me about trying DXM some time. Scepticle at first, I wasn't sure if this was a good idea. But once I learned a bit more about the drug and effects etc. I could not resist a chance in trying this powerful psychedelic...

So Friday night, RussellG said to me "Dude, lets do DXM tonight", and my reply was "OK, let's do it". So I went to the Chemist which RussellG told me actually sells Robitussin DX, as we had driven to one before looking for it and to our dissapointment they did not sell it, so we had Codeine instead. Anyway, thats another story. Back to the DXM!

RussellG came around to my house about 8:30pm. I wanted it to last pretty much the whole night so we waited a bit before taking the stuff. Watched a bit of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and then finally decided to head out. RussellG came up with this kickass idea of taking it and then going to this amusement games place called "BD's". We were hoping it would kick in while playing the wonderful game "Sega Rally". So we finally head off, I proceed in stealing my sister's CD player as planned and we go to a service station to get batteries in order to listen to some of RussellG's CD's. But the batteries are just too expensive and I think the lady was a bit sus in me coming looking for batteries at 10pm anyway. So we got some drinks and headed off to take the DXM. Arrived at BD's just before 10pm it must of been and I drove to this back carpark where we took the stuff as follows -

Dose: 300mg each. This equals up to half a bottle each, and we figured for our first time this should be a sufficiant amount.

Setting: Varied (Read on to find out more)

So at 10:05pm we take the DXM in my car, surprisingly it did not taste as bad as I thought it would and it was even quite pleasent to drink to some degree. After that we leave the back carpark and go park out the front of BD's ready to play some games. After about 30mins it felt like something was beginning to happen but it was only extremely mild, RussellG also reported feeling this, but the thing is we expected it intensify from that and after about an hour we were as we were 30mins ago. At 11pm BD's shuts up, and RussellG and I go outside wondering what is going on. We both clearly expected to feel something by now but as I understand we both could feel hardly anything. We talked about stuff like "Did we do it wrong?" and other stupid shit like that. RussellG reminded me that grapefruit juice could have an effect and it could possibly make it kick in earlier or something. Anyway, we head off to the nearest service station looking for grapefruit juice. First one, doesn't have it. We proceed to another one, again it doesn't have it. But, this time something happened as I was in there looking. I began to feel something! And as I walked out of the store I knew at that moment that it was working... We proceeded to yet another service station where RussellG got out and looked for me this time as I was really starting to feel it hit me. He comes back to the car and tells me they don't have any either. Next thing, my Dad comes out of nowhere and goes in to the service station RussellG just came back from and buys something. I was beginning to shit myself now because I thought if he saw me he will want a lift, and I don't particially want to drive my Dad home just as the DXM is finally kicking in as I was really starting to feel it now. For some reason he did not see us, despite us being parked right outside the service station, maybe he was doing DXM too? Who knows...

We decided to go back to another service station which we had already been to and just bought some assorted juices. To the lookout we go! RussellG commanded, and just to avoid my Dad I went the long way around, perhaps the paronia factor caught up with me here. So we on the highway driving up to the lookout, I look at the speedo and I am doing 60 in a 80 zone. I knew the DXM was really starting to hit me now and I was being very cautious with my speed. We finally got to the lookout and parked our car next to the other stoners and co that usually go up there. We just sat there listening to some Jungle shit which was quite awesome, and proceeded in drinking the juice. The juice for some reason felt like it was having an effect as I drank it, I don't know if this was just me thinking shit or whether it was really happening but after just sitting there and chilling out listening to the radio we decided to drive down to the spot we found before, when we went up to smoke pot ages ago. Again, we just sat there in the car tripping out. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion right now, RussellG would make a noise like he was doing turntables and it sounded awesome. So I did it back, and the slow motion factor seemed to enhance the sound he was making! After this, I felt I just needed to release some energy. So I got out of the car and proceeded to run around it in circles really fast tapping it as I went past! At this stage I was really buzzing and that made me feel so good. Then we just sat there again just tripping out. RussellG decided we must go an adventure! So we got out of the car, barely being able to walk at this stage and proceeded to walk down this track. I saw alot of weird shit, and RussellG commented on some tree looking like something(can't remember what it was) and I remember saying it looked like the shield that you get playing Crash Bandicoot! WTF!? We proceed to return back to the car from our successful adventure and I somehow drive back to lookout place we were at the start, back with all the stoners. Right about this time I couldn't stop farting, and I began to itch quite alot, it died down after a while though so I managed to enjoy myself quite emmensely. I couldn't believe the DXM was still this strong, and it even felt like it had more to come yet still. We sat there listening to some more music and tried to buy some weed off some people in the car next to us. But, unfortunately I was too fucked up to even know what they saying back to me so I got no idea what happened there. Some people RussellG and I know arrived a bit later and RussellG got out of the car and started chatting to them. I got out also, but I couldn't stop looking at all the lights of the city. RussellG was talking to me and just sat there staring at the lights, the beautiful lights. I think it was about 2am now, so decided to head back to my place. As we drove back I was getting extremely paranoid over my driving and I was having to get RussellG to remind me which way everything was. We eventually got back to my house, and we somehow managed to get all the stuff be bought inside despite the state we were in. I bought some glasses along too to pour the DXM into for some reason, and a measuring cup. I don't know how I did this but I managed to wash them and stack them safely away despite having extreme difficulty in standing up straight. Went into my room and watched "Human Traffic", also some "Jackass" episodes. By the time we finished watching them it was about 4am and the DXM was finally starting to wear down. I couldn't believe it actually lasted that long! Thats probably over 3 hours it was at it's strong period for me. Amazing!

Conclusion: DXM is a wonderful drug when used properly, to me it was like weed enhanced. Perhaps I was a bit dissapointed in how intense it was as I expected it to be a bit stronger, but don't get me wrong the experience was amazing! RussellG and I are already planning a 600mg trip for next time, which will also accompany some good weed... :D

Surprisingly, I had no real after effects the next day. I thought I might get diahoerra because I couldn't seem to stop farting at one point when on the trip. Only thing was a little bit of a headache afterwards, but that soon dissapeared after I had some food. Can't wait to try DXM again, I would recommend it to anyone and the fact that it's so cheap makes it even more desirable...

Hope you guys enjoyed my Trip Report.

:)

I think everybody who tries DXM (or any other psychoactive for that matter) should read the DXM FAQ, By William White. Though it is not completely correct, it is a good start for a new user. A copy can be found at erowid.

Seems like you must not have read enough =( I would reccomend a dose of 80-100mg for your first time. Though this dose would bearly be felt (depending on your weight), it would be suitable to test for the p450 (DXM metabolite) enzyme deficiency.

I find DXM to be an extremely good drug, and very powerful by nature. The only drug i would rate over DXM would be LSD. n,n-DMT or Cannabis coming next. But if you are intrested in DXM visit the website http://www.dextroverse.org which has a large variety of information. In your case i would specifically check out the dosage calculator, since your next dose seems a bit high for the next go.

Many people expierence an "afterglow" on higher doses, beware when you raise your dose. My advice is you find a dose your comfortable with, and stick with it.

Very much so.

No enzyme deficiency, no harm done =)

S-R: Beware, a 600mg trip is very different from a 300mg trip. Expect to spend several hours in a bed or other place you can lie down listening to music. Meanwhile your physical body will have become irrelevant. This can be an amazing experience or a frightening one. Also beware on a high dose trip that smoking weed will elevate your heart rate to a higher degree and for a longer time than it normally will. If you think this might give you a bad trip, keep the herb to a minimum or try a lower dose of DXM.

My suggestion, if you thought 300mg was too mild, would be to try the following: 400mg DXM, a bowl of Indica (preferably) smoked at the 2.5 or 3 hour mark, and 500mg magnesium taken 1-2 hours before you dose.

Please don't take DXM and drive! I'm sure you know better now though.

Welcome to Bluelight and thanks for making your debut here in Trip Reports =)
 
I am the infamous RussellG in S-R's trip report :)

I'd been researching DXM for a long time before either of us decided to try it. Perhaps our dose was considered a little high for a first time, no harm was done though and it was a good trip :) I don't think my effects were as prominent as S-R's (he weighs less then me), he seemed to be really tripping :)

I can't speak for S-R, but I personally would like to experience a higher 'plateau', mixed with some cannabis. I don't think my heartrate was elevated too much, I remember S-R telling me he felt like his heart was pounding though.

It was very enjoyable and I would like to try it again in the future :)

Yes, no harm done, but i thank ford that neither of you were enzyme deficient. :)
---
There is a dosage/plateau/syrup calculator under "What Is DXM" at the dextroverse website (address above), use that to calculate dosage. Be careful.

I would reccomend Smoking the Cannabis at T+ 2:00 into the trip. This is what I've found after serveral hundred DXM trips. Also, make sure you have DXM-Only products. As for the heart pounding, DXM does make you more suspectable to those feelings and emotions within you. You feel yourself breathe better (ie the "deep" yawn, most expierenced users will attest to this expierence a few times), and feel more 'profound attachment to your body,' to say the least.

Go for it, but be safe.

Before our trip I did quite a bit of research on it, just like RussellG did. I was a little paranoid as it is me being not that experienced with drugs yet, so I had to make sure I got all the facts and the dosage right, etc...

Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to some dance music CD's as planned so we just had to make due with the radio. Oh well, better than nothing, and theres always next time.

As I said, I researched this quite a bit and both RussellG and I agreed that this would be a good amount to take. In fact I even expected 300mg to be quite a bit stronger, and I think I would of been dissapointed if I had taken under this amount.

Being as inexperienced as I am with drugs, having only done pot before it was certainly something different which I enjoyed very much. I visted Dextroverse before and after tripping, checked the dosage calender and I think RussellG and I probably got to the second plateau on our first time. Not bad! For third plateau they recommend 640mg considering my weight, this is what I wish to achieve next time we do it.

As I said, I expected the 300mg dose to be a bit stronger, and I definetly want it to be more intense next time. So I will keep increasing my dosage until I reach the desired level.

If you think this might give you a bad trip, keep the herb to a minimum or try a lower dose of DXM.

The original plan for the 600mg dose is to go this other lookout quite further away overlooking the city and take it there. Then, to go to the casino and trip out there. But I am beginning to think the 600mg may be too intense to do this so maybe it is best to do it at home?

My suggestion, if you thought 300mg was too mild, would be to try the following: 400mg DXM, a bowl of Indica (preferably) smoked at the 2.5 or 3 hour mark, and 500mg magnesium taken 1-2 hours before you dose.

Interesting, but what would the magnesium do? I will definetly try somewhere between 400-600mg next time with some pot anyway.

Please don't take DXM and drive! I'm sure you know better now though.

Yeah, it was a bit stupid I suppose but I am now worried about next time what I am going to do because the original idea was to drive there. Hmmm...

Well it's not quite a matter of dissappointment, I'm more concerend about your saftey. The reason I'm mentioning this is that about 7% of the population has a p450 (DXM metabolite) deficency, and a dose of 300mg would affect them in many adverse ways that non-defiecent people wouldn't. 100mg would be minimal effects if any for a regular person, but this dose would be the proper enzyme test. I know numerous people (online and offline) who are enzyme deficient, this is a serious hazard and which is why i'm emphasizing this, in case you want to share this substance with another person.

I would reccomend smoking cannabis at the T+ 2:00 mark from ingestion (first check local laws). There was a death on the combo of MG + DXM. Though the MG dose was 1g, the combo has not been studied much, so i advise caution if you choose to accept the risk. Magnesium promotes Serotonin production as well as inhibits a NDMA receptor site.

Robitussin DX is DXM only product found in Australia.

Thanks for the report, I enjoyed reading it!
