The following is a description of my first experience trying DXM (To the best my memory will allow).
Ill start with the details ...
Im 190 lbs (i believe weight is relevant when calculating dosage)
Consider myself moderately experienced with psychs (LSD a few times, mushrooms atleast 10 times..)
I chose to use Zicam cough spray (DXM only active ingr.) as this was 392 mg of DXM in only 16ml of liquid to consume. Seemed like the smartest idea, rather than downing a 118 ml bottle of syrup with 40mg less DXM in it.
I always found it rather childish and kind of disgusted at the thought of getting a fix off of cough syrup, but was also very curious at the same time. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing that me and my girlfriend decided to do it. We both really enjoy experimenting new things, and were bored with nothing to do, when i ran across a thread on here discussing the effects of DXM. I continued to research it and became more and more curious about it. When i brought the thought up to my girlfriend, there was little thought put into it and we were at the drug store soon after.
I was searching for the Zicam i mentioned earlier, but was unable to find it at the first 2 stores. So not wanting to leave empty handed we picked up two bottles of the tussin cough (also DXM only). I was really looking forward to the Zicam as i had read it was the best/easiest way to ingest the stuff, so there was one more stop on the ride home. Finally! Score! Grabbed two bottles of the stuff and headed home.
At about 8:30pm we both started with only 10ml dose (about 240mg) suprisingly it was only about half a shots worth of liquid, disgustingly awful liquid at that. Then just chilled out in our bedroom, playing around on the laptop watching tv. After about an hour, wasn't feel much if anything at all, decided to just finish off the remaining 6ml (144mg).
After about another 45 minutes she was starting to notice some fuzziness, a little giggly, upon standing she mentioned she almost felt drunk, she actually tried walking a straight line, failed, as I found it quite commical cause I still wasn't feeling much. After this point time is a little fuzzy and seemed to go extremely slow. I would say 15 minutes later I start to feel it a little. Simple tasks begin to become slightly difficult and I'm almost a little confused as to what's happening.
She begins to tell me that she feels as though her body is doing things that she doesn't tell it to, not bad things, just simple things like moving a certain way or rubbing her face, it's almost like she has no control. Then she comments as how she feels like shes floating through our room. At first she starts to feel negatively as to whats happening (i think shes comparing, or expecting something similar to a trip shes had before). Thankfully i can quickly get rid of any of her negative thoughts, explaining the importance of not comparing any one experience to another and to just let it do its thing and most importantly enjoy whats happening. I grow increasingly anxious cause i want to feel the sensations she is feeling, I'm still stuck in just an almost annoying "drunken state". I suggest taking more (still had the bottles of syrup we initially bought) she declines, saying she is really messed up, but encourages me to if i feel it nescessarry.
Without any hesitation I take roughly 60ml, or half the bottle (180mg). This is where i believe my "trip" kicks in to the next level. I become completely disoriented, vision is very shaky, focusing on one thing or task is nearly impossible. The light is really bright, i light a small candle and turn off the light. We lay down on our bed. Both of us are very quiet, but still very connected in a way, she is saying how at first she wasn't really enjoying but is starting to really "come into" it alot more. I suggest we listen to music. I explain to her that I'm really enjoying myself and not to be alarmed as to why Im not talking, she just smiles, to which I know that she doesn't care is in the same state.
Before I lay down i decide to take the remaining half bottle (Final 180mg dose) I lay down and let the music take me away, literally. I close my eyes and start to get some crazy visuals, they start out as just shapes and colors. Then these shapes turn into things and people. They seem very real, I almost feel like i am dreaming, but know that im not. As soon as I open my eyes i am back in my room, almost feel sober, but as soon as I close my eyes its almost like I'm in another world. The whole time im getting these visuals, I still feel like I'm laying in bed with my girlfriend by my side the whole time, but im in the middle of a field or on top of some mountain, both of us in my bed. It's like im connected to my bed, it has become part of us.
I continue to do this for almost my whole trip, just laying with my eyes closed, my bed is on something like tracks for a rollercoaster, im slowly moving through these different worlds or scenes. At first I feel my self trying to control it, in the sense that im trying to control what im seeing. Eventually I just let it do it's own thing. This is the most intense real feeling visuals ive ever experienced. I feel myslef smiling. I can recall being in the middle of the woods at what looked like a campsite, still laying in my bed, holding my girlfriends hand. It's almost like were just there watching people go about there buisness, they acknowledge were there, but couldn't be bothered by us, my bed still on tracks just rolls through their campsite, then my bed starts to slowly turn away, almost on a swivel, does a 180 and i am surprised to see that the whole backdrop has changed, It now looks like were in some sort of dance club, really dark lighting, purple, green, blue, red lights on the walls. We are in the middle of the dance floor, still in my bed. People don't seem surprised at all to see me and my girlfriend just laying in our bed in the middle of the dance floor. This goes on for what seems like hours, the backdrop just continues to change, the whole time were just rolling through on our bed.
I really wish I could remember more details about it, it was really the most enjoyable thing ever. From time to time I would open my eyes, again its instantly back to reality in my room. Checking on my girl, I try to explain whats going on to her, she comments how she is jealous, cause shes not experiencing it to that extent. She tells me she did have a chat with her parents, who have both passed. She seems happy about it though, we talk about it for a while, I feel as though my high is passing,
I want to close my eyes again and see if i can get back to that place. Amazingly the second i close my eyes and plug back into the music I am instantly back in that world. I can't recall all of the visions and places we visited, I wish i could. Like I said before, it's almost like I'm dreaming, but still awake and experiencing these dreams as they happen. I wonder if this is why it's hard to recall. That is basically what i did for the remainder of the trip, i would occasionly chat with my girl, have a laugh, but we were both most comfortable just zoning out into the music.
Not once did i ever have a negative thought the whole time. Then it was almost like a switch was turned and it was over, this was around 4am(? im not really sure on this though) We sat up and talked for a little while about some of our experiences, she says she is jealous again that it didn't hit her quite as hard as it did me.
Overall we both had a positive experience. The next day wasn't too bad at all, just felt kinda groggy and a little lazy.
I was amazed at the visuals I got from this, and can't compare it to anything i've ever experienced on any other drug. I didn't really get the mind trip that I normally get on psychs. No real "life changing" thoughts or feelings on this one. Not sure if I'll do it again, but I know for next time, I'm bored and dont have access to anything else. Definitely upping my initial dosage if there is a next time. Maybe just take 2 bottles of the Zicam for about 800mg.
If anyone actually read this whole thing, firstly, i hope it was understandable and somewhat enjoyable despite my rambling
, secondly please feel free to comment or ask any questions. This was definately the hardest time i've ever had recalling experiences on a drug, but from what i read thats somewhat normal on DXM..?
EDIT : I also noticed that the colors and visions were somewhat "dark" in comparison to say LSD where it was very bright vivid colors. Not dark in a scary sense of the word, just very dark purples, blues, reds and greens. Not sure how to explain this, i just found it interesting.
