This was my fourth experience with DXM. The first two times I'd gone for 1st plateaus for the euphoria, but seemed to overshoot it both times. The 3rd experience was a good second plateau at 4mg/kg. This time around I was just aiming for a first plateau, but the night evolved and turned into an excellent trip that was rather unexpected. 
This report is made up primarily from notes throughout the night so it's quite staccatto in some places.
I'd had a good night's sleep and been up since 10am. I kept my stomach pretty empty; ate a few bread rolls and some fruit at 5pm. Finished work and went to buy the Robitussin, getting home just after 7.
7.30pm I measure out and take 55ml, 165mg DXM, 1.95mg/kg, 85kg body weight. Wash it down with a beer, and put on a comedy DVD on my PC.
7.45 Remembering that the cricket is on, I move to the lounge and put on the TV. To even out stomach acidity, I take some mylanta. I eat some cheese and biscuits at 8pm.
8.30 An hour after dosing and I'm not feeling anything at all. I'm pretty disappointed but not that surprised as I didn't really take much at all. To see if moving around makes any difference, I go to buy some brandy and cigarettes. A guy I know is working in the liquor store so we chat for a while. At 9 the store is closing so I head home.
9.10 Get home and pour myself a brandy and coke. Still feeling nothing, I write off the DXM and watch the end of the cricket (Australia loses
), then back to my PC to watch the end of the DVD.
11.30pm Now bored, and alone at home on a Friday night, it seems as if the 3/4 full Robitussion bottle is staring at me from my desk. After grappling with the decisions for a few seconds, I say a hearty "fuck it" and pour another 115ml, 345mg, 4.05mg/kg. This dose is equal to the most I'd ever previously taken, but it's 4 hrs after the smaller dose so I figure I'll hit somewhere in the 2nd plateau. Takes a few sips to get the bitter medicine down, then I surf the net, reading DXM reports, waiting for the come up. I've now taken a total of 510mg, 6mg/kg.
12am Feeling the first tingles when my housemate S. gets home. I had expected him to be at his gf's, and usually I like to trip on my own, but I'm pleased to see him. Getting the smiles and feeling relaxed. He sits on my bed and we listen to music and talk for about 1/2hr. Maybe because of the increased demand on my brain as we talk, I can feel myself coming up, feeling a bit speedy and warm. I have a little nausea from the horrible medicine (can't buy caps in Aus), but nothing I can't handle. Words flow easily, can sense some slurring and sometimes can't get sentences out cleanly.
12.30 It's a warm night and the DXM is making me hot and still nauseous so I go to have a shower, and S goes to play X360. In the shower, the apple shampoo smells strongly. Now there's a heavy body stone but my mind still feels reasonably clear. I get 'syrupy' like most on DXM, and find myself swaying about. As I'm washing, my skin is a bit numb.
12.35 I finish my shower and go out to see S playing GTA4. Very pronounced robo walking, very easy to talk, and a medium level of euphoria. After 10 mins, I decide that shooting and death aren't good images to be taking into a trip, so I go back to my room.
12.45 The earlier nausea is completely gone. Vision getting hard to focus, not double vision, just like the focusing muscles in my eyes aren't strong enough to focus anywhere closer than just behind what I'm looking at. With strong euphoria building, I put on some music and settle into my big leather chair.
1am Very strong euphoria hits, probably similar to my first no-tolerance Oxy 60 trip; everything just feels 'right'. Not a trace of anxiety, no negative thoughts whatsoever, just completely happy and at ease with the world. At one point, the euphoria is so strong that it's all I can do to just lay back and let it wash over me. Music sounds better, but not revolutionary. It's strange, the high doesn't seem to affect much how I hear the music, but the music influences my mood incredibly. It seems to lead the general character of what I'm feeling - life is perfect, that this trip is a great 'event'. Epic, mostly instrumental rock is fantastic; the best is Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-V.
Between 1am and 3am, I mostly listen to music with visualisations, surf the net and occasionally go out to watch S playing GTA. Movement feels good, but disrupts euphoria very slightly. When I stop moving for 30secs, it flows back down through my body, as strong as before. I talk to S and try to describe how the trip is. Inside my head, my social mind seems to be working normally, I can make sense of things and get social cues, but I can't translate my thoughts into the outside world. I experience strong 'loving' feelings. I want to sit and chat to S but I just can't manage it.
I have a few cigarettes, I haven't smoked for a while so I get a bit of a nicotine rush. This doesn't seem to affect the trip much, smoking feels good though.
The euphoria seems to come in waves. Sometimes I can be almost floored by it, other times it seems as if I'm almost sober. It's almost like the amazement at how good I feel is making me feel even better, and I'm in this great cycle, like a reverse bad trip. The body stone remains and I'm always clumsy. No real disassociation - I understand what I'm doing and that actions have consequences. The world seems vaguely dreamlike.
3am I start to feel very tired and start coming down. I smoke another few cigs and say goodnight to S. Music and visualisations are able to lift the trip for another 1/2 hr, but nowhere near where it was.
3.30 Get a few shakes, probably from hunger, so I force myself to eat a bread roll and a peach. Taste is completely gone and I have shocking cottonmouth so I have to take sips of water to get it down. I go to bed. In the darkness, my mind separates from body a lot more, and I start to feel syrupy again. Random thoughts in my mind, I can hold 4-5 different trains of thought. Lots of imagery, different places. I remember a dream from years ago. This is all a bit annoying as I'm very tired and just want to go to sleep. When sitting up or turning on the light, my trains of thought return to normal. After about an hour of this, I fall asleep.
10.30am I wake up, a bit tired, but not too bad. No hangover; during the day I'm a bit absent minded but otherwise fine.
One more thing to point out is that I was quite thirsty and drank 1.5L water over the duration of the trip.
Overall I was very surprised and pleased with how the night turned out. I don't know why I experienced such strong euphoria on what is primarily a disassociative. Also, I'm fairly convinced I'm CYP-2D6 deficient, so that might be why I didn't get too much in the way of disassociation (DXM not being metabolised to DXO). However my understanding of the chemistry here may be off, so I can't be sure.
In any case, I am very keen to try the same dosing schedule again soon, and would be interested to hear of others' experiences with redosing. The schedule was
t+0 1.95mg/kg
t+4hrs 4.05mg/kg
