DXM - 600 mg
Last night I was very bored, so I decided to purchase some DXM in the form of Robitussin Cough syrup. I bought an 8 OZ bottle. I dont remember the exact time frame of what happened, so I will do my best to describe the experience.
I drank about 2/3 to 3/4 of the bottle in three gulps. Some people complain that it is awful and hard to swallow, but I found it easy to swallow this stuff with little discomfort.
About 10-15 minutes later I started feeling the effects. I listened to some music and did some stuff on my computer, all the while feeling a bit off. Nothing major at this point.
An unknown amount of time later I was really feeling it. I felt disconnected in a very pronounced way. I couldn't focus on any thought, it is as if I couldn't keep any idea in my head grounded, it would always morph or switch to some other idea.
I went to lay in my bed in total silence and relative darkness. It is here that I tried to analyze my thoughts. I noticed that I could begin to think about something and just let my mind go. I would start thinking about a videogame and it would somehow turn into a thought about the Iraq war, which turned into a thought about World War 2, which turned in to a thought about the history channel which was just showing a special on World War 2. It was like this with everything I attempted to think about.
I would like to note that my memory was not functioning properly at this time. I couldn't recall what I was thinking about five minutes earlier, and since my experience I can't recall 3/4 of what I thought about.
After laying in my bed I got up and tried to walk around. I felt really weird, I couldn't concentrate on anything I tried to do so I gave up. It was at this time that my ex-girlfriend called. I made an observation into my thought pattern during the conversation. She was asking me some questions, and then she asked a hypothetical. I could not focus on it and give her an answer! It actually scared me a little bit to be asked a question, I felt as if I would betray myself by sounding stupid. On DXM it seems that due to the lack of concentration and concrete observation, a lot of unknowns can become scary. If you don't know whether your parents are home or not, it becomes more intense due to the fact that actually acquiring the data needed to make that guess is very hard to obtain (due to inability to cohesively piece together information). DXM is not a social drug, it makes conversation more difficult and the mind more dull.
After this conversation I decided to fall asleep. I went to my bed and just layed there forever. It was difficult to fall asleep because of the body feeling I was getting. It is a bit like a good body high from weed, but mixed with a negative tone that makes it discomfortable. I finally fell asleep and woke up the next day feeling like shit, I was stuffed up and had drainage in my throat. I think the DXM suppressed my immune system.
There is one thing that is hard to explain to people when describing DXM. It is the unexplainable feeling of fear and anxiety that comes with it. I have experienced this four out of the five trips that I have gone through, and the best I can describe it is a tendency for fear to reach elevated levels during normal circumstances. Maybe it can be attributed to the inability to think properly, and thus the inability reason your way out of any frightening situations.
During this last trip, I was able to understand how the drug affects my thoughts and therefore I have no desire to replicate my experience in the future. DXM might be fun for some, but I don't enjoy that dumbed down and disconnected feeling I get from it. The slight nausea also detracted from the experience. I suggest marijuana if you want a dumbed down feeling that is still controllable and actually feels good.
