OK, so I've taken many drugs in my time, but I've never tried DXM.
I was bored today, thought I'd give it a shot - try anything once, right?![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
Anyhow, I got a 200ml bottle of robitussin DX at about 9am and headed home. Nothing was eaten since the previous evening.
(10am) - Drank the cough syrup, it really doesnt taste that bad...! I drank the whole thing, which was 600mg all up, and I weigh pretty much exactly 100kg, so 6mg/kg, which from reports should give me a 'proper' trip - I didnt plan on doing this recreationally, I just wanted to see what DXM was all about, so I just went for a high dose straight up (Yes I'm aware that this isnt the safest way to do things... so dont do what I did) I wasn't really worried about trip intensity, I've had my fair share of far-out trips before.
(10:30) - Feeling quite drunk & dizzy now, still got most of my coordination - I'm talking to some people on msn, one of them says he's tried it before and all it did was made him drunk, so I start to wonder if it's going to go any further (maybe I should have more faith in it
)
By 11 I was starting to feel pretty messed up, but not psychedelic, apart from perhaps some distorted depth perception. Very similar to coming up on K at this point. . .until - nausea kicks in . . ergh. . . It's not too bad for now so I leave it.
After another half hour or so, the nausea has increased, I'm shaking & my mind is totally unfocused - I cant string a thought together. . everything is just a momentary observation. I cycle between lying down and kneeling over the toilet bowl, hoping to throw up - but never quite able to push anything out.
Finally, the nausea begins to fade - and the fun begins. I put on a favorite tripping CD of mine (shpongle - are you shpongled?) and lay down on the couch.
Closing my eyes, I start thinking about my body, how it's processing chemicals etc, then my mind drifts onto evolution - a new question is raised for me, which I need to look up at some point - How did single celled organisms evolve into multiple-celled creatures? I wrangle with the problem for a while to no avail, and then when I stop thinking about it, I realise, in awe - in my mind's eye I'm able to visualise (and 'feel') every cell in my body acting as a separate being!
After a while of marvelling at this, (the image itself was spectacular. . millions of pulsating/vibrating red/orange/yellow cells working in unison) I get up, shakily - I'm feeling sick & unfocused again, go to the toilet, try to puke again - a tiny bit of pink liquid comes up, but nothing substantial - I feel slightly relieved.
I go back to lying on my couch, and shut my eyes - I just start drifting randomly through CEVs, often I felt like I was in empty rooms with different coloured/textured/patterned walls, sometimes I would feel like I was melting all over the couch I was lying on - These are feelings I would say are identical to the k experience at low-medium doses. When I open my eyes, I have no idea where I am really - the room bears some vague similarities to the room I once knew, but it's twisted. I drift like this for a while, until the CD finishes, so I get up reluctantly to put something on - this time I choose the Guild Wars: Factions soundtrack. It's all classical music, with a heavy asian influence (lots of asian instruments, scales, etc).
Lying back down, still quite restless, I start to drift, get back into a more focused mindset - I find myself staring into the room I'm lying in all of a sudden, out of body-ish, except my body isnt in the room at all. I start thinking about where this room is, where my body is, I'm shocked by the fact that the universe has to exist 'somewhere' , and start repeating to myself in my head "what the f*ck? why the f*ck does all this exist?" I often struggle with the meaning of life, but when I thought about it this time - I could imagine nothing existing, somehow - it's incomprehensible, but I'm sure thats what I was feeling - it wasn't the feeling of not existing/ego loss, it was just somehow knowing that it was possible or knowing what it might feel like .. .
8) I'm not sure how to describe it other than it wasn't ego loss/complete destruction of the universe, but it was a glimpse at what might be... As with most psychedelic experiences the english language fails completely!
Anyhow, after this, I kind of snapped out of dream-drifting-mode, I was feeling a little more collected, I decided I was coming down, so I stumbled out to the living room to put on the TV. I continued to feel fried & uncoordinated for another 4 hours or so, I ate some food which helped with the nausea a little.
Overall, Throughout the experience I felt a very deep connection to the raw being of existence itself, kind of like below all the pictures, people, objects - the raw fundamental 'is-ness' of all things, and I'm glad I tried DXM, despite the negatives.
I would say that although DXM has psychedelic power that is by no means something to take light heartedly, the nausea and inability to focus & stop shaking make it nothing more than ketamine's retarded younger brother
Oh and this is my first trip report, I hope I've managed to convey my thoughts well enough, I'm usually pretty terrible at converting thoughts to words in a clear way.
