This was my first trip with DXM in a little under three months, because I had jumped to a false conclusion that my body couldent handle DXM anymore (I would have horrible nausea even from a reccamended dose). I recently found out that the reason I was having such a horrible trip is that there is a substance in Robo Gels (my preferred source of DXM) that makes them act as a "psychadelic laxative". So I decided to try out DXM one more time, but with a different source. I can not chug Robo anymore, and I can't get pure DXM anymore, so I decided to look around for another manageable source for my DXM. I found a very easy source of DXM after looking around bluelight, Zicam, it's such a small ammount of liquid but it has a ton of DXM in it. If you can't chug syrup and Robo Gels are as bad for you as they were for me then try out Zicam, it's the closest OTC to pure DXM. Anyway, to the trip.

T+0:00 The time is 11:20pm, and I have just swallowed a mix of Zicam Max and Nestea. Didn't even taste it.
T+0:25 Already feeling the beginning effects comming on fast. Talking on AIM, cant concentrate on my conversations.
T+0:45 Vision is blurring, starting to feel some nausea. I decide it would be best if I just layed down and let the nausea go away then come back to the computer later.
T+0:50 I just threw up, but it was actually kind of enjoyable, this was definately from the DXM and not a spare ingredient in the Zicam. Double vision, bathroom is spinning.
T+1:00 Ahh the familiar robo-walk... I slowly creep back to my bed and lay down. The second I hit my bed I got an intense fractical pattern covering my entire ceiling. My dog jumped up on my bed and made me sit up and ruin the patterns.
Note: This is where I lost my ability to keep track of time.
T+?:?? My dog jumped down and as it did I was immediatly strapped into the DXM roller coaster. It seemed like every muscle in my body was as tense as possible. I was sinking into my bed while rocketing at my fractical covered ceiling at the same time. While that was going on I started to drift off into another place. I was no longer in my house but in the forest laying on the ground staring up at all the trees completely unable to move because my muscles would not relax no matter how hard I tried, it was like I forgot how to relax. My entire field of vision was filled with hallucinations and I could see no part of my house at all. I came back into reality and found myself shaking uncontrollably and my body temperature had shot up. What felt like a split second later I was sent back into the forest , and once agian I could not move, but it was different this time. There seemed to be an evil feeling to the forest. As I was laying in the forest I knew something was different about it this time, and I was right. The second I came to the conclusion that the forest was different the ground seemed to open up swallow me and close agian on top of me, for some reason this didn't scare me. While I was in what I call "the leafy grave" I had forgotton that I was laying on my bed hallucinating and I actually thought I had been put into a hole somewhere. After what I thought was an eternity of being trapped in a hole under a forest I slowly came back into reality realising that i had just pulled a pillow over my head. After all of this happened I somehow managed to get to sleep.

Overall I'd say this experience was positive. I now know that I can take DXM agian without having lingering nausea throughout the whole trip. This all happened yesterday and I'm writing this with absolutely no hangover or afterglow.

Edit: By the way this is the first time I've experienced the intense muscle tightening that I described in my report. Is this a normal side effect of DXM or was I close to having a seizure or what...? I would greatly appreciate a good answer.

I'm certainly no expert when it comes to DXM, but I have used it several times.

The muscle tightening? I get the same feeling, but looking back I think it was just the fact that I was so disassociated that I, like you said, forgot how to relax. At 1000 mg, which is the highest dose I've taken, I knew I was tripping but I had a very hard time figuring out who and where I was, if that makes any sense.

Intense disassociation probably prevented you from really being able to perceive what your body was doing, therefore making you paranoid and unable to relax. As for your body temp, next time you decide to take DXM, keep a big, cold glass of water close by.

You never mentioned music, which I consider essential for DXM or any psychedelic for that matter. Put on some quiet, ambient music next time to help guide you through the DXM mindfuck, and smoking some weed right after dosing really helps with the potential nausea and makes the trip infinitely more pleasant overall.
 
I usually have some good music playing while I'm on DXM, but this trip's nausea forced me to get off my computer (my only source of music) and lay down on my bed. I've tripped on 500mg once more since this trip and I'm happy to say that it was the best trip of my life. I had absolutely no nausea, I was able to talk to people and be completely coherent. I reached the third plateau for a much longer time than this report.
 
You were able to talk to people while on the 2nd and third plateaus? Shit, when I try to talk to anyone on anything over 400 mg of DXM is just comes out as hurrrphgurgh or something of that nature.

i get it too
 
ive never really had muscle tightening, quite the opposite.

but you were probably just tripping hard, not close to a seizure. I dont think ive ever heard of a seizure on DXM. I imagine it was just really intense as you took a decent amount and it being a small amount of liquid im sure it hits hard and fast.

also, how do you get Zicam? I dont think ive ever seen it.
