(DXM / 60mg daily) -- I took DXM every day for a year. This is my story. (LONG)

Hell im staring at a bottle now and would love to test this if not for being on paxil. I would like to clarify, you are comparing it to an antidepressant simply because the effects resulted in less depression, like any other rec drug, or due to it working in a similar way technically, or lastly due to results, how depression was alleviated without obvious overall euphoria like normal rec rugs? Thanks.
 
^ I'm talking purely in terms of results. I've never been on a medically approved antidepressant of any class, so I have nothing to compare it to. I wouldn't quite call 60mg 'recreational'. Please taper off the Paxil properly, and make sure you've let five times this drug's half life (look it up) worth of time pass before you ingest the DXM! Serotonin syndrome is neither recreational nor antidepressant.
 
Serotonin Syndrome sucks balls.

I've had it twice in my life.


For some odd reason I've mixed dxm with lexapro hundreds of times and never felt any kind of interaction, but that's just my luck.

Think I'm going to start taking dxm in the 60mg range, I'll wait until tomorrow. I take lexapro but take it pretty frivolously IE for one solid week then one week off. I think its the only responsible way to take SSRI's as not to develop dependence (and I've been experimenting with these stupid things since age 15, over 10 years).

DON'T DO THIS. I KNOW MY BODY. DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO.

;)
 
Yeah after in depth research and informed risk taking i take small doses like 75mg with Kratom to potentiate and this has been fine so far while on paxil. But yes, dont do what i do, do what those above me say.
 
I find mixing DXM up to a gram with 20 mg prescribed fluoxetine to produce no overly serotonergic effects for me. I quite like it actually. I've never had serotonin syndrome though and although I always hear people voice concerns about SSRI's and DXM, it's been fine for me personally. Perhaps its due to the low dosage of fluoxetine?

Super interesting post BTW, I enjoy reading trip reports regarding the effects of chronic/long-term administration of DXM and dissociatives in general.<3
 
Great report! I always like dxm trip reports for some reason. I have always read them since i first started doing drugs and began the research associated with them. Probably because DXM is if i remember right one of the first three times my consciousness was ever altered. My two friends and i had a good time on it, pretty high dose. But for some reason the hang over the next day always made me not wanna really trip again. Ive tried it a couple more times since then.

I do have to ask though, if you have since fallen short of expectation, yours or otherwise, while sober? Basically im asking if you thought the lack of, or not using the chemical caused you to not experience its positive effects? Kinda like someone who would be taking amphetamines for a boost would lack in their normal abilities when not on the drug. I wish i had a better way to say this lol. Maybe youll know what i mean. Thx either way
 
I gave an oral presentation on ~100 mg DXM HBr today. Worked really well. I felt very expressive, and at times even slightly enjoyed myself, whereas without the DXM, I probably would have been intent to just hurry it up, and be done, and sit back down.

Never would have considered using low dose DXM as a tool in this way, had MDAO not posted this thread, but it makes perfect sense, and it seems to work really well. Nifty stuff.
 
I did some 90mgs DXM today. Approx. 90mins later i felt nauseous (ate breakfast 30mins after ingesting the DXM) which persisted for another 60mins at least. After that i was fine.

Thing is, when i felt the DXM beginning to take effect, i was REALLY speeded up, absolutely overwhelming at some points. Felt like if i'd taken some MDPV instead, so i decided to take 25µg Etizolam, which stopped the unpleasant speed-buzz and left me in a very comfortable mindset, very calm but productive/active. 8 1/2hrs later i had ingested the rest of the Etiz (every time 25µg doses) and this worked really well with the DXM.

I also added 250mg Coffein in between, which seemed to be a good decision.

I was in good mood, which felt not forced but very natural instead.

So, really nice as i think, i'm impressed.

Btw, can someone tell me if i just got nauseous because i ate after taking the DXM or is that normal? Today was the 3rd time ever i took DXM and i really don't remember how it was the first two times regarding nausea.

Thanks!
 
its normal probably...

did u take syrup? thats more likely to make u nauseous

i too get nausea from dxm, and try not to eat wen u do it during the comeup and before.
 
No, i took pills without anything else in them besides DXM. Did another trial this morning, 120mg, same effects as yesterday but without the nausea. I ate nothing before and after taking the pills for at least 2h, after that i was fine and ate something - no nausea again. I would've tried it like this today anyways but thanks for the recommendation, it worked out very well!

Conclusion: i don't like DXM on it's own, 120mgs is the highest dose i've taken and it just made me feel very speedy and gave me some weird headspace, but after taking some Etizolam again (same dose as yesterday) everything went fine :) I love this combo (with added coffein of course)!

One thing to add: the first time ever i did DXM (late in 2011) i did 90mgs, while i had ingested grapefruit juice. The effects i've gotten from that were vastly different from the current trials i made. That day i drank loads of gf juice, also after ingesting the pills. Approx. 30-45mins later i felt REALLY bad, i'd say one of the worst feelings i've ever had, felt like i had a heart attack, but it disappeared as fast as it had built up and after that i was high as a kite. Felt like if i've had ingested a shitload of thc instead via oral admin. It was a very nice evening in retrospect, but the horrific come-up was a big price to pay for that!

DXM on it's own (in low doses) feels just very speedy, not even euphoric, but i feel very confused after some time and drastically sped-up in thoughts and motoric functions. Not a very comfortable headspace tbh.

I'll plan to take DXM now for another two consecutive days (with lowered dosage between 60-90mgs at max) because i read after some prolonged use people experienced very positive cognitive effects, but after that i'll cease taking DXM for a while, but i really think about doing it high dose some day in the future. 3rd plateau perhaps.

I hope the sped-up effects vanish with higher doses because i wanted to head for dissociation on DXM as i've heard the experience is very nice and i love dissociatives tbh - <3MXE<3

Have you ever used DXM as a psychadelic? I recently took 175mg and it was a very interesting experience to say the least. Unlike other psychoactives I have used in the past such as marijuana and alcohol it did not effect my thinking very much at all. However, I felt a bit 'robotic' in the sense that I did not feel much emotion or really care too much about leaving 'reality' to some extent. It was a very interesting experience that gave me some closed eye visuals and enhanced my creativity greatly without giving me the racing thoughts and confusion that other drugs can produce. One of the effects that I enjoyed the most was that as I layed on my bed with my eyes shut or stared off into space it felt as if I was merging into the room and things I knew were in the local vicinity (difficult to describe but it felt amazing). Also, sometimes when I shut my eyes I got this wonderful sensation of floating like 4 inches above my body (almost like a very mild, controllable OBE). I found it interesting that if I got as high as I was on alcohol or marijuana (marijuana being a closer aproximation of the type of effects, though still very different) my mind would be filled with racing thoughts and my mind would not be functioning normally. However, this drug allows you to still have your mind relatively intact. I am not recommending that anyone use the drug in this way as there is a slight risk of psychotic episodes or other dangers as with any recreational drug. However, the media makes it out to be FAR WORSE than it really is and it is not some major drug menace that is 'killing your kids' or causing long-term psychosis in those who wouldnt have gone insane anyway. however, using it regularly/frequently is dangerous

P.S. - thcified i dont think its a good idea to jump right into a 3rd plateau dose. many people find it terrifying and there is a risk of seriously damaging your health/killing you with that high of a dose. you should try a high 1st or lower 2nd plateau in my opinion

Thanks for the report, enjoyed reading it. I've only used DXM at recreational doses. I'm told this spoils it. In other words, after taking recreational doses the effects of a functional dose would be perceived as unsatisfying. I'm wondering how much truth there is to this?
