DXM - 1st Time - Tripping On CORICIDIN...

Yesterday was my first time EVER using Coricidin or expirimenting with DXM n general... and i would have to say that it can be pretty daymn crazy!
I was with 3 other people(Stevo,Bob,and Jaden) when i did it, but i was the only one in the group that hadn't done it yet. The plan of the day was to get high and drunk, but my friend Jaden had suggested that it would be a perfect time for me to try it since 3 semi-sober, experienced people would be with me, to look out after me. So i agreed, thinking that i would have to try it sooner or later.
I ended up taking 16 little red pills of coricdin cough and cold. While waiting for it to kick in, i joined my friends on tha back porch to smoke a phat-ass blunt. Then after that, my friends suggested that i lay down on the couch and watch tv for a while(15-30 minutes) then get up and do something to make tha drug really hit me.
I remember watching all these little kid shows like "the wiggles" and "sesame street." Me and Jaden were laughing our asses off and i think alot of it had to do with the herb. A little later after 30 minutes Jaden came and got me n' told me to get up and smoke a stogg with them. So i got up...and thats when i realized my knees were wobbling and my legs were all jello-y... So out i went on the back porch wrapped in a blanket, skipping (or trying to) out on the back porch (yes, Jaden was guiding me, making sure i didn't bust mah ass or crack my head open).
*This is right about when my memory gets really distorted and it's hard remembering things in sequence... I haven't talked to my friends about how it really was yet, but i'll try the best i can.*
Stevo and Bob were already outside and i sat in a chair,Bob was sitting on the arm of that same chair. He was blocking the sun. He asked if i was comfortable or if wanted him to move, i said no because he was "protecting" me from the sun. Some time later we went back inside.
From then on i felt like a little kid. Jaden carried me inside and made me lay down next to Bob. Watching her i made me feel like a little girl watching her mom... Thats when i tried talking to her telling her how i felt like she was like a caring mom and thats when i wanted to give her a hug. I realized that my speech was all fucked up and it almost seemed like i was talking the speed of light and only every other letter of everyword i said, was coming out.
Then Jaden and stevo went to make maccaroni n' cheese (the really really good kind, "the - shit" maccaroni...) They all had the madd muchies, but i was rather upset, cause i had a huge loss of appitite.
This is when i hit the highest peak of my Trip. I even remember telling Bob over and over that i was tripping Ballz, and i felt like a crazy person and that i was acting totally STUPID... Bob said no ur okaie, your doing good... I also remember moving alot on the couch, feeling like a 3-ton piece of sandpaper. I then remember saying that i felt like i was gonna die and telling Bob not to let me sleep cause if i did, i would die. Then that's when i started to almost black out and eveything felt so intense, so surpressing, and just plain fucking scary, like i was Flirting with death.
Then Kim and Stevo came in with the Maccaroni and everyone had a bowl. I tried eating mine but i suddenly felt sick so i got up to go to the bathroom, and started barfing, Jaden was with me to help me clean and refreshen myself up. After that everthing was fucking Dandy and i felt ok.
They all went outside and i stayed in watching tv, everytime i went outside i said it was scaring me and would return to watch tv. Then some guy named Dan came in and put on Vh1... It was some old-ass 80's music video and i was triping the fuck out, it seemed to me like there was this guy singing and this lady on his sholder then i swear i head dan say that she was a Vampire and i saw the lady bite his neck, then it all faded back in place the way it was before... pretty fucking scary.
Jaden came back inside and we both went into the family room where there was a little lady bug tent pitched, i was guessing it was Stevo's little sister's... Crazy me suggested that me and Jaden go in the tent. That had to be the funnest thing i did all day, Me and Jaden layed in the tent on our backs staring up. I said i felt like i was trapped inside this giant watermelon, or i was inside a dog's bloodstream being attacked by giant flees, Jaden was laughing her ass off at me,she was really drunk. As we were laughing together at nothing i heard people laughing in the background, Bob came in the tent with us and laughed some more at stupid me saying stupid things...
When we finally got out everyone in the room looked like a giant picasso painting. They all had 4 eyes, double everything. I was slowly coming off. I tried to re-heat my maccaroni and eat it but i supposibly said that the maccaroni was attacking my face...
I did and said some stupid things that day, but it was all really fun and worth while... i doubt i'll do it again but it's just something yo have to try. I think i had a good trip over all, at least for a first one. I know there was alot more shit that happened, but my memory is shot, so thats about all i can remember so vividly. Everything eles is very vauge and distorted and would sound totally fucked if i tried to explain it... i posted this hoping that someone who hasn't done it knows what to expect (or has a slight idea) and should be with someone remotly experienced, becuse it can be intense at some points during your trip, but will come out smoothly as long as your with someone more sober then you are. Also, make sure you know your limits,Dxm is dangerous to fuck around with, even though you can buy it over the counter... well anyways, safe tripping
everyone...Stoner4Life~Lai

You just said in one sentence what I've been trying to describe to my friends for ages.. the bit where you said your voice was quicker then light but only a couple of words could be heard.. What a good way of putting it!
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.. And I get what you mean about even though some bits of it were bad you wouldnt take it back.. its normally the most scary bits that are the best memories and the bits which make the best stories.

I agree, coricidin is bad. Although I have some of the coolest trips on ccc(ex. esp, telepathy, able to tell future, or atleast the illusion of these)the come down and the day after the trip i feel like complete waste, I just lay in bed and it takes like a whole day to recover from the trip. Its not worth it for the trip. Why trip on coricidin when you can grow mushrooms for free and have a clean natural trip without worrying about having to go to the hospital because of too much CCC. Just my two cents

SPECIAL WARNING - Coricidin Cough and Cold
There are many over-the-counter products which contain DXM. Most contain additional active ingredients which are best avoided at high doses. The higher the dose, the more likely problems are. One product which has caused problems for many people is Coricidin Cough and Cold which contains DXM and Chlorpheniramine Maleate. If you are using DXM recreationally, avoid using Coricidin Cough and Cold as your DXM source. We have collected a few reports specifically about people's experiences with Coricidin.
Welcome to Bluelight Lai and thankyou for posting this report here. Please be aware that the drug you consumed was DXM, and that taking Coridicin is very dangerous. If you want to use DXM again, please check to make sure that what you are consuming does not have any other active ingredents.
Could you please edit your post to conform with the forum guidelines. Thanks :)
Have fun, take care.
:)

Oh why, oh why, do people think Corcidin is a safe or fun way to trip? 95% percent of people who end up in bad shape (and almost all who die, though it's rare) have taken Corcidin.
For those who think Corcidin is a better trip, drinking a big glass of grapefruit juice after you take DXM will work even better and is much safer. Or you could just take 5% more DXM and not risk hospitalization.
Keep it safe and fun... Max Strength Cough.
btw, I love DXM =)... and glad you had a good trip. Next time if you don't want to puke take everyone's advice. peace!
 
Coricidin.. That stuff is the devil! I was hospitalized when I was 13 because of it. I wanted to do something fun the night before my birthday, so I popped all 16 little pills. I tripped on it before, but never that much..
I'd give you the whole trip report, but this story is getting so old, I'm kinda tired of it. But basically, I screwed up royaly >.< Being just about 14, and had just moved to a different state, everyone thought I was trying to commit suicide. It was *great*! My family's dissapointment in me.. *that* killed me. All the reprocussions, the restrictions, the loss of trust.. that killed me even more.
But when all is said and done, I learned a lot from it, about family, drugs and the like. I grew a deeper respect for my family, and a new awareness with drugs, and the world in general. Almost 5 years later..I may be crazy, but it's an experience I wouldn't trade for the world.
 
DXM is a respectful drug but please dont use coricidrin anymore it's just no good. See if any of your friends can get pure DXM its just so much easier.
 
^ Listen to what some other people have said. Please don't do triple Cs anymore! I don't want to hear about any bluelighters dieing on me. DXM is a very fun drug, but try and get pure DXM powder if you can, and if not try the max strength robo that has ONLY DXM in it. Have fun, but be careful!!!
 
typing this, i feel like i'm filling in a predetermined formula for telling a DXM/C+C+C story:
item 1: Warn everybody not to take the red devils, because they're soooooooo bad for you.
item 2: tell everyone how it was sooooooo great.
So... um... don't do red devils!
But, if you do, here's what you might expect.
The first time i took DXM, or tripped at all for that matter, was a couple of years back. I had run out of bud the night before so i had none for before school, but the guys i was smoking with the night before gave me like 8 pills, and i took them in the morning about 7:30. They started to take effect about the beginning of 3rd hour, an' i felt like i was a little drunk, that's it. W/in an hour or so i felt pretty high(like some KB, and my other friend gave me 12 more pills. so, being fucked up and not being able to think clearly at all, an effect of C+C+C, i take them all right then and there. I'm feelin the same for about another hour, then, in 5th hr. i started to feel metallic and all around de-personalized, although i could still pretend not to be fucked up. Then the end-of-class bell rang, and my high started to snowball. miraculously i made it to next hour, but was pretty close to peeking. I sat for a few minutes, and was still a bit coherent. then... he turned off the lights and flipped on a movie about
how different pictures and different shapes in certain colors effect the way humans percieve the physical world. That's when i lost it; i still don't know how i made it through the next class or how i got home, i just did. I went home and went straight to sleep, about 4:30. I woke up the next day at 2:00. An extremely enjoyable trip, but very dangerous. I wouldn't recomend it unless one had DXM in syrup. The Coricidins are fun, but unhealthy to an absurd degree, not to mention how addictive they are.

Dear god.... :o
 
I tooke 20 coriciden pills one night. When i finally got to sleep I kept waking up.. and I was having the weidest dreams.. and everythign just seemed so unreal. Also, my heart had been beating very very quickly. The next day I woke up and could hardly walk or talk or think. It was very weird and not to fun. It took a good 24 hours for it to wear off. I recommend only doing 10 at the most especially for a first timer. this stuff can be fatal.. Ive done research on this and MANY MANY people have died from overdosing.. I guess I could have died.
 
Coricidin is dangerous! It contains drugs that are very bad for your health in large amounts, and will induce anything from nausea, to bad aches, to liver failure or death. You want DXM only containing capsules or sryups, or the powder itself. Again.. Coricidin is too much of a risk for a high.. people have died from it.
 
Awesome!

HEY THERE! i HAD THE SCARiEST FUNNEST NiGHT OF MY LiFE! i'VE DONE CORiCiDiNES OR "SKiTTLES" AS WE CALL THEM MANY TiMES && iT SEEMS LiKE EVERY TiME iT GETS BETTER! BUT i DiDNT REALiZE HOW MANY PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT THEM BUT iTS KOOL TO KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES DOiNG iT! WELL SEE YA NEXT TRiP!!!! LOL!
 
Re: safety of Coricidin products

Since this was revived and brought back from the dead... I just wanted to add that it is the Chlorpheniramine in Coricidin products that is dangerous. Taking more than recommended amounts of chlorpheniramine can result in dangerously increased heart rate, seizures, coma, and death. Chlorpheniramine containing products are not the best choice if dxm abuse is your goal.
 
NO MORE EXCUSES FOR ABUSING CORICIDIN!!!!!!!!
Here is my extraction tek for getting dxm from a cpm and dxm containing product (edited from pm format to remove a surce, of course). It is very easy and faster than the lemon extraction. Only takes 1 day.

. Buy pills containing dxm and cpm. Most people use coricidin, but I buy (SOURCE EDITED OUT) generic cough and cold pills for less than 1/2 the price.
2.wash off the coating and allow to dry. This is not neccessary, but allows you to tell the purtiy better, and the end product is not pink
3. Allow the pills to dry.
4. crush them into a very fine powder, i use a mortar and pestle, but the are many other methods. Be sure to grind them to the consitency of powdered sugar.
5. put the pills in a mason jar and cover with about 400% volume of water to powder.
6.Stir the mixture for as long as you can stand, then about 15 more minutes.
7. Use cheesecloth folded into about 10 layers to get rid of the water as much as possible, though you will lose some end product in the process.
8. allow the powder with as little remaining water as possible to dry fully
9. enjoy, though it is possible to further refine the end product further using pet. ether to remove most of the filler and refiltering, but this is unneccessary and loses more end product. I only do this when refining a large batch to last a while.
 
a friend of a friend was on 3 boxes of c's and brutally murdered his girlfriends dad.
this was about 3 weeks ago and he's now serving 30 years minimum.

i think his name was robert something....
i found out from friends and then a day later saw it on the news.
