Trippin' on Robotussin

Sittin' around one night smoking buds, me and friend were mind blown at what to do, considering it was like 12:30 in the morning and all the chill places were closed. I asked him if there was a way we could get any chocolate covered mushrooms, but our friend was out of them at the time. After smoking another joint, my buddy says to me, "Have you ever Robo-tripped before??". Im thinking, what is this, right. He says to me, you take a full bottle of robotussin cough syrup and drink the whole damn thing. Right away in my head im saying no way no way, but of course I have to ask "What does it do?". He looks at me with a smile and tells me it is like a shroom trip mixed with an acid trip, and similar to Core (Corecedin). So, bored and really extremely stoned, I give in and we drive to get two bottles of this cough medicin. When we get back to his house, since his parents were out of town for the weekend, we drank our bottles on the screen porch by the woods (which the woods is in his back yard) and smoke another bowl. After the bowl, I found myself quite disappointed becuase not only was nothing happenning, but my mouth tasted rotten and there was no possible way to remove the cough syrup taste. Ten minutes later I was blown away.

As ten minutes past, my buddy Dave and I reallized that some effects were starting to take place, just as our two girlfriends unnexpectedly show up at the door. Here I am sitting on the porch, starting to really daze out and feel trippy, as my girlfriend is staring at me for what felt like hours but in all reallity was only 5 minutes. It was now about 1:30, pouring rain and thunder with lightning, and I am really starting to lose my grip on reallity. I liked it in a way, becuase it was like I was really drunk and blacking out, but it was nothing like a shroom trip or an acid trip. There were no visuals, but my mind was making shit up that I was believing and some of the shit I was saying was scaring my girlfriend.

While pouring rain, I walked out of his screen porch totally gone in just jeans and socks, walking through puddles in his yard. When I reach the trees, I start to feel like I am Vietnam, and becoming scared of the trees and people possibly inside of them just waiting for me to turn around so they can get me. I slight discomfort in my gut gets me to vomit, pure red. Not blood, and I wasnt imagining this becuase I checked it out the next day, I was throwing up pure robotussin. I think everyone here knows what happenns when on any trip and you throw up, yea. After thinking I was in Vietnam, and how crazy I was, I now began to trip harder. I tripped so hard, that I had no clue who these other three people are and what they want.

But then I recognized my girlfriend, but to me she became my mother, and I dont think she was too happy when I started calling her mom considering she just thought I was drunk when she showed up and she thought I was messing with her the whole night with all of this other shit. I didnt lie to her, but I think even if she would have asked what was wrong with me or anyone else for that matter, I would have told her I was dying or something. At this point in time, which is about 2:30, I am finally off of the peak. I had just found out that I had messed around by the trees for a good 45 minutes, but I dont know where the time went. Even though I am not peaking anymore, and 1 1/2 to 2 hours had passed, off the peak it was still stronger than any shroom trip came close to. Dave, meanwhile, was inside talking to his girlfriend the whole time becuase he didnt really trip. I guess right after he chugged the bottle it was so gross for him that he threw up before anything took effect, so he just got really stoned with his girlfriend and nobody asked questions. I guess, so im told, he checked on me very periodically, but I was way too gone to reallize it. I guess the one good thing about the trip is I was so messed I couldnt move, so I waited for about 2 more hours and smoked 2 packs of cigarettes, all by myself.

Suddenly, it was like I woke up. I could talk, walk, and do whatever. I found my buddy laying in bed, but not quite asleep. As soon as I walked in he started freaking cuz he thought I was still trippin and I was doing some crazy shit earlier, so he thought I was going mental, but I just told him that I was done, just tired and going home. Drove home the 5 miles just fine, and everything from there was just fine. Until the next morning. I thought it was completely gone from me, but for the next two days, I could still feel the trip in my body, so for two days I felt like shit, and sometimes had panic attacks. On the third day I nearly had a nervous breakdown, then it was over. I strongly, strongly do NOT recommend this to anyone. It was three hours of braindead stupidity, and three days of feeling like I had a hangover. For the three days I couldnt do anything that included moving too much as my brain felt like water and I would get motion sickness off of anything. So Please, don't try this at home, or anywhere!!!!!!

Thanks, Adam

If you ever do try this again, make sure your syrup has *only* DXM in it. Sounds like yours had guifenesin (sp?), which is responsible for your throwing up and sickness.
 
Yea, I knew it was something like that. I had never done it before, plus instead of taking the regular bottle, we took the family size, so that could have played a factor. That was a while ago though, so I dont think I would do it again. I have now moved on to better and more expensive things....lol!! But thanks alot!!

P.s. If you have done it, was your trip somewhat alike to mine, or how did your mind set and things go??? Did you have the three day hangover????

Thanks!!
 
Yeah I've probably taken DXM around 20-25 times.

Your "family size" dose is larger than any dose I've ever taken with syrup or pure powder. Usually I take 2/3 of that dose, which can be found with no other active ingredients in a 4oz Robitussin Max Strength Cough. Any hangover I may experience is gone halfway through the next day.

I've found DXM, even at the same dose, to be unpredictable. With 354mg I've experienced everything from getting moderately stoned to complete ego loss and intense visuals, and everything in between. If you ever try it again, try this dose, and try to meditate so you can control what's going on in your mind (or better yet, learn to go with the flow). A couple hits of good herb at the T+3 hour mark is key.

peace
 
aight man....that was just stupid.

1st, you should -never- drink a family-size bottle of any robo[even the right kind] for your 1st trip with it. that is -way- to fucking much. I started out with alittle less that 1/2 a 4oz bottle of it,a nd that was a decent trip[though i weigh 105 lbs]
2nd, your friend and you should have be entirely sure you took the right kind, because if you don't take the right kind, you can end up getting FUCKED.
and 3rd, though this is minor, you shouldn't mix drugs the 1st time you try them.

Aside form all that being said, I'm sorry you had a baddass comedown man. I have taken like 5-6 trips off the stuff and -never- had a noticable comedown...DXM isn't made for some people man, sux you found that out the hard way.:\

-peace
 
Bah... Just get maxinmum strength cough.. or search online for Dextromethorphan

you can buy it online in power form...

it's better that way... and you won't die :)
 
^^^
DXM alone can kill. Personally I've only had bad or weird trips off powder. DXM use should be infrequent enough not to warrant use of powder anyway IMO.
 
I'm sorry, but if I could get online and buy pure MDMA instead of taking a pressed pill, I would pay more for it just to ensure it was pure...

likewise with DXM, which has no real shelf life to speak of... not to mention that the body load and the effects are different when taken as a pure form..
 
taken from erowid

DXM is considered to be quite safe, even at doses well above those recommended for medical use (10-50mg). A handful of fatalities have been reported from DXM-alone (more are reported from DXM combined with other drugs), but the dosages taken for these fatal overdoses are uncertain. A paper by Gosselin in 1981 estimated the lethal oral dose of between 50 and 500mg/kg (2,500mg for a 120 pound adult at the low and conservative end of his estimate.

I don't really like dxm, leaves me too hung-over the next day... :)
 
lush as fuck i wanna blast at that, it sounds amazin, a little bit like the time i took 160mg of A.M.T
lush !
 
160mg? Ouch.... I hope you worked your way up to that dose, I know there are a small group of people that need more than usual doses of AMT to hallucinate and get what they want, but I'm sure 160mg could maybe even kill some people.. Just a warning to anyone thinking of taking that dose straight away..
 
umm, AMT causes VISUALS... not hallucinations... if you took enough to Hallucinate, you were damned near the LD50, I'd bet.
 
...and then some

try 250mg (tip: do not measure doses while drunk and fucking). I ended up naked in the middle of my street at 3 am yelling for a knife cuz i wanted to cut off my dick. But otherwise, it was a happy trip for me and not the people i was around.

Theres been a handful of reports of people commonly taking doses well above erowids recommendations.
