Disclaimer: I do not, in any way shape or form recommend trying DXM. DXM is a strong drug, if you are going to mess around with it (not recommended), but if you really want to, make sure to research first and try smaller amounts. If you have any questions or concerns shoot me a message and I'll help you out.

Side note: This was my trip report from September, I've gone to 3rd plateau a few other times and it wasn't so bad now that I have experience. :)


First Attempt at 3rd plateau with DXM

Background Info:

Weight – 145lbs (65kg)

Age – 21

Experience with DXM – I have tripped about 8-10 times over last year. Roughly 1 month apart each time to be safe. Every time before this has been a high 2nd plateau with 1 bottle of Robitussin (354mg of DXM). With my weight that comes to 5.5mg/ kg.

I have nice CEV’s (closed-eyes visuals) every time about 2 hours after downing bottle. It varies as to whether I puke or not but I always feel slight nausea. And the day after I always have a good afterglow but still feel a little spacey.

I am now going for a mid-3rd plateau with a bottle of Robitussin extra strength and 20 liquid pills coming to a total of 654 mg of DXM or 10mg/ kg.

Here is my report:

6:00pm – Ate a cinnamon roll and had a bottle of chocolate milk. Last food.

9:00pm – Drank a monster energy drink.

10:30pm – Downed a 4 fl oz bottle of Robitussin Long Lasting (354 mg of DXM)

10:45pm – Downed the 20 pills over course of 5 minutes. (Total of 654 mg of DXM in system now)

11:00pm – Feeling a little nauseous, but not too bad. A little heavy-eyed. Watching a TV show since it usually takes about a solid 90 minutes to kick in.

11:15pm – Could be a little placebo, but my head is definitely feeling fuzzy. Kind of like when I take a couple of vodka shots. Still nauseous.

11:25pm – Getting up to pee and I feel what I’d normally feel with 1 bottle of tussin after 2 hours. Never had a 1st level plateau onset so fast. I feel drunk and a little spacey. (Good note: higher doses onset effects a lot faster for me)

11:30pm – Lying down with laptop still watching TV. Feeling a pressure in head I’ve never felt before. Not good or bad, just different.

11:35pm – I believe I just reached the 2nd plateau. Watching TV I just got very absorbed. (A guy got busted in the show and I felt fear in my stomach for him like I was really there)

11:38pm – OK. Effects are really kicking in. I was trying to read a text and watch TV and my mind could not process it. I had to pause the show and read the text four times. Currently I have no clue what I just read on my phone.

11:41 – I can’t get over how fast the effects are hitting me. Usually it’s like 2 hours in and gradually it happens. I’ll gain some energy, walk around my dorm for a bit, then lie down and listen to music and enjoy the CEVs. But this, this is a whole new monster. I’m 1 hour and 11 minutes in and I know if I were to turn off the light, close my eyes, and listen to music I would already have CEVs. But I’m going to stay up until 12:30 then listen to music and see what happens.

11:46pm – Just read what I’ve typed so far and I feel myself transcending into the 3rd plateau. I have a poster on my wall of Puss from the movie “Puss in Boots.” It’s one of those images where the eyes follow you wherever you go. And it feels like he’s staring into my soul.

11:52 – Now this is really weird and freaking me out. Last summer, my friends and I took oxycodone pills (100mg) all the time. And anyone who has used opiates knows the intense itchiness that comes with the benefits of using opiates. Well, right now on DXM, not having used an opiate in over 3 months, I’m feeling the exact same itchiness. I have never experienced itchiness with DXM before.

12:03 – Not sure how long I’ll be able to type for now. But I just lost my legs. For last......I guess since it is 12:03, 11 minutes I have been researching if itchiness is a side effect of DXM and it is. Apparently I have the “robo-itch.” Robo-itch is where the DXM causes a lot of histamines to be released in your body making you really itchy.

12:24 – Holy guacamole. Finding it really hard to type. Feel extremely drunk. Going to go and listen to some music.

12:50 – Been listenining to music. Can’t belive it’s only been 26 min9utes. This is riduclous. I am going fucking insane. I am having heavy closed-eyed visuals. Going to listen to music some more.



OK, so I didn't edit this report at all. This was what I typed as I was tripping. I am a very fastidious typer so the fact that I was drunk typing meant I was quite gone. Anyway. That was my report. Just felt like sharing. :)

congrats on experiencing time perception distortion! one of the most valuable lessons of DXM. matter is timeless, man... or timeful! Did you feel "forever"?
 
Yeah, you hit it on the head. It was crazy how one song on my ipod could feel like days.
 
DXM itching, like opiate itching, is caused by a histamine reaction. The more you take the more intense the reaction is and may be why you didn't have/notice it before taking a high dose.

DXM has become of of my favourite lone drugs (not that I recommend tripping alone), I usually go sit in the bath until the itching goes away on higher doses.
 
A bath! That would be a great idea. Because with the opiates I was taking small doses as well, so just a mild itching. When I took that higher dose of DXM the itching was mind blowing. So yeah, I think I'll do that. :)

Just thought I'd mention that at least two ketamine-related deaths may have been caused by drowning in the bathtub (http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ketamine/ketamine_death.shtml; see Louise Cattell. 2011. United Kingdom; D.M. Turner. 1997. California, USA).

Taking a bath on a 3rd plateau dose of DXM is probably to worry over: chances are, if you're still sensate, you'll be fine. Anything higher than a 3rd plat. OTOH... let's just say a shower would be safer ;)
 
Hehehe. I have showered every single time I trip on DXM. I brush my teeth (nasty tastes) then hop in the shower. Good advice on the bath though at that level of DXM.

Hm...yeah. I might just take a warm shower if I get the Robo-itch then. Wouldn't wanna drown. O.o

I almost never get the itch, but on rare occasions I do. I use DXM almost everyday, from 300mg to like 12mg/kg. Tolerance to this reaction can occur, or it just doesn't randomly always happen.

So like, sometimes I like to go on walks on third plateau doses. Almost always is fine, but sometimes I have blacked out and woke up in an ambulance. That's hella expensive. 4th plateau doses are almost always comas!

Man, I hope you're joking. If you're doing DXM nearly every day and having blackouts at the 3rd plateau... well you don't need me to say it :P

Well if you're like lazydullard and have a tendency to lose consciousness a whole 2 plateaus below the usual coma level, then I'd say showers would be recommended over baths :)
 
Yeah, when I comedown it's usually 3 or 4 in the morning and I'm tired anyway, so it hits me hard and I just fall asleep once I turn the music off.

As an experiment, I kept the music in the whole night and stayed up until 7am. It seems as long as I have music in I don't fall asleep with DXM.

I probably should have pointed out that I only get the itching for the first hour while coming up so I'm still in a cognitive state when I get out. Showers would be much much safer.

4th plateau doses I'll deal with the itching and stay away form the bath
 
Hehehe. Yeah, it was only when coming up for me as well. I suppose with being at college most times I won't have access to a bath anyway. :p
