DXM: Afterglow better than trip?

I am a very experienced user of DXM and a few days ago, I decided to try and reach 4th plateau for the second time (first was back in August) with a dose of around 1 gram. Unfortunately, I didn't quite get there because I spaced my doses out too much. Throughout the entire trip the body load and itches were fucking terrible. The uncomfortable side effects took over most of the trip.

HOWEVER, the next day I had the most amazing afterglow ever. I don't even know how to describe it, just so serene, relaxed, peaceful, and at one with everything. This caused me to think back to my other high dosage trips which brought me to this conclusion:

In the majority of my high end dose DXM experiences, the afterglow was more enjoyable than the trip itself.

I'm about to give up on DXM, I just think I've taken it as far as it can go. I still hold my one and only fourth plateau trip as one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced, but I don't think I can get much more out of the substance.

If I ever attempt it again, it will be with pure DXM powder (I've only used OTC products before). So does anyone feel the same way about the afterglow outweighing the trip? Also, how much better does having pure DXM make the trip?
 
Oh yeah I most definitely agree with you on that one. But then again, it's a completely different experience so I don't think you can really compare the two.
 
ls with pure dextromethorphan fb is interesting combo as mentioned.

but

the afterglow of dxm used to be my favorite part of the experience, esp. when some ganja is added to the mix at around t + 6 - 10 hours. its a strange compound constantly looses its magic but 4thish plateau is awesome! peace.
 
I always seem to have the best afterglow effects when I use Delsym in my dxm combos.

Love going to work the next day while still tripping/afterglow.
 
Agreed.

The LSD&DXM flip is somethin' else. I always consider a DXM trip to be colorless and dull (visually, not a bad thing though), but when flipped with acid, it adds some insane colors to the trips, and enhances it tenfold.
 
DXM tends to hit you like a truck and then bring you down slowly and gracefully. The tail-end and afterglow of the trip are always very nice.
I'm probably going to get shit for this (as I should, because it is really dangerous) but I've always enjoyed a bit of alcohol with my dxm.
Never tried the LSD+DXM combo but it sounds pretty interesting.

liar. LSD ruined 3 months of my life with the first dose. it took 9 DXM trips to ruin my life, for one week.
DXM>LSD

I have a theory that if acid makes your serotonin swim around your brain trying to find home base, while DXM seals the serotonin entrance/exit, and totally fucks with every single receptor in your brain, the serotonin will be playing baseball on a giant tilt-a-whirl. imagine playing baseball on a giant tilt-a-whirl. that's what your brain's doing on acid and DXM, two totally different psychoactives. im trying to imagine the trip itself. all i know is that you'll be acid tripping until the DXM is over, and then some. shiiiiit.
 
I've only done DXM twice in smallish quantities (200-250mg), each time I had a great afterglow. No trouble falling asleep on it either, which I really liked. I'm interested in doing more, like 400-500, but I want to extract some first rather than drinking cough syrup.

That's interesting because to date, I've found I only get the afterglow effect at the low end of dosing.

Taking a non-drowsy anti-histamine with Cetirizine hydrochloride as the only active ingredient before dosing usually reduces or gets rid of the itching / hot flushing etc.

Be careful - other anti-histamine medication and DXM is a potentially dangerous combination.

You are supposed to trip on DXM while laying down, eyes closed in a dark room.

It's not like LSD where you can walk around and enjoy tripping wherever you're at.

DXM is sensory shutdown.

I've had more profound experiences on DXM because i was completely outta my body and existed as a point of awareness that was seeing visions of far away places such as deserts, weird jungles, ect. ect.

I recommend this as well. At lower doses listening to relaxing music can greatly enhance your experience, I find different tracks take me to different, but not totally dissimilar 'mindscapes', however at higher doeses even the most chilled out music can become disconcerting.

Personally I've only ever had open eye visuals on a high dose, and still usually keep my eyes closed. Of course what's true for some people is not always true for others, particularly when it comes to drugs like DXM.
 
haha yeah I remember listening to this chilled out Japanese sitar music on Robitussin and it felt like something was using me as a set of drums.
 
Ambient music is great on DXM.

IMO anything else is too forceful.

Ambient ethnic music is the best, Shpongle is fine.

Or anything else ambient, for some reason ambient waves and sound works well with high dose DXM because of the nature of how DXM works and what "mode" it puts your brain in.

I felt extremely euphoric listening to Shpongle, didn't feel dirty at all.

Then I put Jimi Hendrix on and it was too loud, distracting and made me feel dysphoric.
