Second DXM trip. 300mg

okay, first off, I found a new source for dxm in non-liquid form, which is easily attainable(at least for now....). Robitussin makes "cough gels"(only dxm), 5.95 for 20, 300mg in a bottle. Quickly realizing this, I went out to get a bottle, remembering a dxm experience from a year ago, but not quite remembering the effects.

So I pick up my bottle at 8:30pm, intent on dosing alone, having a spiritual trip, listening to smoke music, and just chilling out. I dose all 20 gelcaps, with ease, and begin the night with some music.

at approximately +45min, I begin to feel this familiar body buzz, reminds me of a marshmallow type feeling, my body is numb, I'm fairly disconnected from everything, just listening to music and talking to people online.

+2 hours, as the journey wears on, I begin to feel very disillusioned, just, not so much myself, distant, my thoughts not so clear. My mind is in a very jumbled state, and my body buzz is very....uncomfortable. I speak to a friend, and she leaves her house to come get me.

+3 hours, I go out for a drive with my friend, first to get coffee, and then to a random spot to just drive around. Movement has become fairly difficult, and my mind is very distant still. I feel as if everyone around me "knows" what is going on, her and I converse, it is very erratic, as is conversation with most people who are tripping. But all in all, I just don't feel very comfortable, with this "peak"

+4 hours, we drive on this insanely scary 20 minute long dirt road, and well, I begin to trip out very hard, I feel energy coming at me from the woods, I am in fear that the road will "never end", I don't want to say I feel attacked, because I never became overwhelmed, but I definately felt like there was a presence in the road, and that it was tapping into my mind. My friend with me(sober) confirms that she feels a sense of energy around us, she also notes a "dreamlike state" for herself, possibly the energy I'm giving off from my trip.

+5 hours, I arrive at home, thank her for bringing me out, go upstairs, feeling more tired than anything, and head online for a bit. Drama and disaster for the next hour occur, something unwanted occured, and I ended up feeling really out of control, and just, unable to convey anything I wanted to say correctly, I feel like I'm watching myself from a 3rd perspective, and it's some what frightening. I decide after a while to just head to sleep, and let the trip wear off.

+6 hours, 30 minutes. This is where it begins to get interesting......as I'm lying down, in the dark, eyes closed, I begin to ascend further into the rabbit hole, uncomfortable, not really wanting any of this, I don't really enjoy what's going on at first. I feel seperating from myself, first noticed by the belief that I'm not breathing anymore, that I've died, and at first, I fight this, but after a bit of time, just accept this.

with my eyes closed, I look around the room, in my half awake/half asleep state, and pull myself up from my body, in my full peripheral vision, a man in a world war II uniform stands in the corner, and takes me thru this tunnel.

In the tunnel, on one side, is my childhood, I see scenes from my early years, that I've more than forgot. On the other side, I see the next 5 years, before they happen, love loss gain, growth.

As I further myself down the tunnel, I enter this giant garden, and sit on a bench. A woman in a white dress with a fancy old fashioned umbrella sits down next to me, and looks me in the eyes and says "it's okay, everything is ephemeral".

I awaken at this point, at approximately 8am, feeling as if I'd gotten 12 hours of sleep, but honestly forgetting at which point I fell asleep, thinking my entire dream sequence occured in 3 hours or so.

Overall, the dream, I'm assuming a interesting cross between 2nd and 3rd plateau was pleasant, but for the rest of the trip, I just didn't feel comfortable, the feeling was of uneasiness, and was just, peculiar.
 
I really don't see how the DXM could hit you so strongly at the 7 hour mark, especially after you have peaked and started to come down. It sounds like the drug put you in a state where your CEV's and dissociated feeling merged into your dreams, or like you spent some time half-awake and half-dreaming.

Wild and crazy shit, no doubt :D Once again proves that even though DXM may not be the "best" or most enlightening trip, it does let you tap into some pretty strange and sometimes amazing parts of the psyche.

Sounds to me like your trip was 2nd plateau. Really, you will be at your highest plateau 3.5 to 4 hours after taking DXM. When you do enter 3rd plateau, it is really obvious because all of a sudden you are no longer feeling dissociated, drunkish, and "dream-like"... you are flying around in outer space and your body is nothing but an idea.

A lot of people don't like DXM, especially their first time. I think your trip fell in the "not-so-sweet spot" of medium 2nd plateau. I am (was) always dissapointed in those trips. Not to encourage you, but I bet if you took 400mg and smoked a little bit of pot 3 hours after taking it, you would have really liked the stuff.

...
Hope you had fun if you made it downtown on new year's eve! I had a good time bar hopping and doing my best to avoid cover charges, but then my buddy IM'd me from D.C. the next day and he was down there rolling with some of my college friends-- i must say I was a bit jealous!
 
^I agree completely about the 3rd plateau being the "Sweet" spot for DXM. Only problem i don't like about entering the 3rd plateau is that i tend to forget my whole trip the day after... not good.
 
Thanks for the story! :)
What are these DXM only gel caps called?
 
^^^
They're called Robitussin Cough Gels... 15mg x 20 caps = 300mg

I don't know if they sell them in your neck of the world...
