I have been somewhat wanting to try DXM for a little while now, but have been wimp when i have had the chance. Im thinking about maybe trying it this weekend at a friends house. What should i expect and do you have any reccomendations for a first time user? (how much to take, etc.)

I have experiance with many opiates, weed, diphenhydramine at recreational doses, LSD, MDMA, and amphetamines. Will it be like any of these?

Thanks in advance =D
 
well .. there is no comedown [shitty feelings] , u just kindof fade back into reality .. [IN MY EXPERIENCE]
they say there is an "afterglow" the day after but again u dont rly feel bad
 
Dxm is definitely worth a shot.
Don't let the stigma discourage you, it is a potentially very powerful dissociative/hallucinogenic
As well NMDA dissociatives tend to have antidepressant qualities, thus the afterglow everyone talks about.
If you have no experience with dissociatives start at a second plateau dose, and if you feel confident you can carefully titrate to third plateau

Honestly the experience dissociatives provide is utterly unique compared to other drugs.
There are some similarities, but at the same time these "similarities" can feel very different from other drugs.
Don't be scared if everything seems weird or confusing, this is simply the high.
You'll have trouble walking, and perhaps even remembering at higher doses.
It can either make music sound great or very odd and dissonant.
If I were you I'd start with one bottle of robo gels, I think they come in 15's??
Someone else will need to clarify dosages for you, since its been many years since I've tried dxm.
However definitely go with the gels, these don't have guafesin in them, which can give you horrible nausea or even diarrhea.
 
DXM is pretty enjoyable, its not anything like any of the other drugs you have tried as they are all a different class.
I guess your experience with diphenhydramine you may see some similarities but dissociatives & deliriants are quite different from my understanding, ive never tried diphenhydramine my self though.

DXM can be quite a mind blowing intense experience, i wouldn't do it with any intention of leaving the house, start with a lower dose learn to gauge the feelings and work your way up from there. Plenty of good calculators can be found on google to work out the different levels of dose v body weight so figure that out and start with a second plateau dose as the person above me recommended. Read some trip reports as experiences can differ greatly from person to person :)

Also if you can get your hands on some nitrous oxide it will make the experience that much better ;)
 
I've edited the thread title, we are not here to decide for you whether you should use a drug or not. You should decide that for yourself based on the vast amount of information you can already find.

Trying to speak objectively: DXM does not agree with everyone, there are potentially effects that can be and typically are interpreted as interesting, pleasurable and/or worthwhile. But there are also potentially nasty (side-)effects.
It appears as if people don't always metabolize the drug the same way in they bodies, for some the metabolism works out agreeably, for others not so much.
Some typical aspects of dissociation like weirdness are more or less neutral and come with the territory. You'd have to be the type of person to like that.

Read a massive number of trip reports on Erowid, and use our "First Time DXM" subthread here: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/429340-DXM-Subthread-First-Time
Because you can bet on it that others before you have also wondered about the same things that are typical for a person considering using DXM.
 
like 3%-5% of people react very strongly to DXM due to having low levels of a certain liver enzyme. for your first time taking DXM, take a low dose (~75mg) and wait a few hours to see how you react. if you don't feel much, then it is safe to take more that same day/night.

its pretty important on your first time to take the few hours to make sure you're not a poor-metabolizer. a single bottle for a poor metabolizer has about the same effect as four+ bottles for a person that reacts normally.
 
something like 1 in every 25 people has that enzyme deficiency, so while the odds are in your favor of not having it, it is still common enough that its a good idea to take the few hours to make sure :)
