DXM: Afterglow better than trip?

[Issac Sinclair]

never understood this whole DXM 'afterglow' people talk about. when i come down from high dose dxm trips i feel like hell and cant sleep.

Same here. I roll around, not being able to sleep and then feel terrible the next day since I didn't sleep.

Same here. I roll around, not being able to sleep and then feel terrible the next day since I didn't sleep.

I find lying in bed with my eyes shut not moving for 8 hours can still let me be somewhat refreshed the next day after indulging in dissociatives. Then I'm usually feeling good/afterglowing until it gets dark.

I've tried DXM once with a mate, only had 300mg each, second plateau dose? But anyways, i thought it was quite unpleasant, i wasn't able to stomach any alcohol on it, i felt pretty crook because i just drank a bottle of cough syrup in 5 minutes and i wasn't really euphoric or happy... Just mild visual distortions, crap motor skills and all in all not as hyped up as it is on the internet... If they sell it at pharmacy's for ten bucks uncontrolled without any need for ID i don't thinks its a good recreational drug (in my opinion and those of my friends), yeah its a drug that alters your conscious state, but you can also do that by hyperventilating for several minutes and holding your breath...

I've tried many different drugs, but I'd have to say DXM is down there with BZP. Ketamine was fun, DXM wasn't... I really don't know people how can use DXM long term, I'd use it again as a cough suppressant in the recommended doses but not much else...

I agree completely with the above

DXM is by far the best OTC drug imo. It is so versatile. Getting drunk on DXM = Partymode with giggles, Getting stoned on DXM = Intense visuals with some nice introspection.
And oh the lovely afterglow. I like to sleep a solid 8 hours after an experience, waking up around mid day feeling as fresh as i was peeled out of an egg. Then I proceed to wake'n'bake and the weed combined with the afterglow make you feel high for the whole day.

Theres nothing better than walking around the streets in a populated area on a saturday afternoon with some nice gorillaz in your ears. (PS: On the DXM Afterglow I learned to love the song "Demon Days" by Gorillaz)

DXM imo can put up fairly easy with for instance shrooms. Its just a whole different thing.

I absolutely loved the afterglow from DXM.

DXM was such a cool headspace until it "lost the magic" for me... maybe it will come back if I take like a year off...

Skittles seriously are not that bad. Maybe it's just me but I can eat a box and semi-function without lookin too geeked out. If you take them in stages it helps to open up the empathic gateway to others boundries also. I never eat the whole box at once anymore. I ate 1 3/4 boxes a long time ago to see the limits of my own body, and I was stuck in one day for waaaaaaaaaay too long. It was like every second took half an hour to go by. I remember how vivid all of the emotions were displayed on my face when I reacted to anything. I had been buried by Coricidin for at least a month so it was kind of a progression, but it was more like the tip of the spear. The peak of a month long trip. I re-evaluated myself after that whole experience (since I still obviously had that openess that you feel almost like an omnipresence with the tools guide my own life) and formulated a way to change myself completely and show compassion and attain my dreams. That was a very strange lonely road feeling almost devoid of anger but at the same time passionate to no end about everything. I seriously believe that dxm can reform individuals and that is what it should be used for. My brain changed along with my thought pattern. I apologized to everyone living or dead that I every wronged and made it important to find solace with my current state. I didn't trip on dxm after that for a very long time, but not due to bad feelings or negative emotions. I just felt open to accept anything and change. In the month long trip however I did curse myself and look too deep into my psyche and dub corcidin a dark worm eating at my soul and taking over my brain...that was eerie. Crying by myself in an isolated area repeating where did I go wrong?? Watching my existence be devoured by Coricidin and unable to push away. But after the time went on with periodic dips in and out of downward questioning spirals and soaring "I can feel my breath penetrating the ears of the universe" highs it became tangible to an extent. I could grab things and change them through my own decision to do so. I ended a horrible relationship with the angriest greediest mosty bitter woman around that time and fellt like 5 billion weights all in increments of 10 lifted off of my chest. Being able to breathe freely and enjoy why I liked living...I did just that. Coricin still occassionally graces my brain with it's presence but it's no longer a devil worm, but more like a welcome assistant to help me deconstruct and reconstruct certain areas in my mind and life. I don't understand why my body chemistry allows this to happen, whereas most people say they feel like shit and hate the blurry dulled disillusions. I have frequented dxm since I was 16 and I'm now 27 so I guess prolonged usage has caused a reaction inside of me that isn't the same. I swear to God I wish it was, because after that whole experience I have ultimate vision of tasks at hand and rational decision making...well...until I drink. Then I get loose. Coricidin always seems like the Nun to me where alcohol feels like the bad kid who won't listen. I feel like I can save the world when I'm on DXM. As far as the liver damage goes, everything damages your liver. That's because it's job is to filter toxins, so everything affects it regardless of how healthy you choose to make your drug habits. I started off on Robo just cause someone told me about it and it was the weirdest thing ever with a blech feeling that comes with drinking that syrupy horrible...yucktasticness. C is the most obvious pinpoint when you think about how those N&D quil have like 10 to 15mg of dxm in them. That's the shit that destroys your body. Pumpin 2 at a time doses and not even gettin the full effect. 30 mg dxm in a skittle sized pill is just common sense. I've been tripping on C the entire time I've written this. See what I mean? Who's to say one man's kryptonite isn't another man's amazingly awesome robot suit? The world may never know.

To quote my own quote...what a world we live in.

Actually, I don't need to experience the full trip to get very pleasant afterglow. I took 30mg pill dxm first day (It gives nice little but still very pronounced effect). And I feel great afterglow the next day.

 

[adrandell116]

I most certainly agree here, I always take DXM late at night (say 11 o'clock), solely because I want the chilled out feeling for the most part of the following day. I love both parts, the main trip I enjoy being alone for. But the afterglow if great for socialising. To the OP, try the pure powder. Chuck a gram down your neck in 6 - 8 bombs over about 45 minutes and you will reach that forth plateau! Just be prepared to purge your guts out the first few times... I get bored on DXM if I don't dose high and reach the far plain!

 

[pennym]

I just took 8, 30mg caps of dxm am reading a lot of scary Shit concerning the effects of coricidin? I just want some reassurance before I start tripping?! Thx

 

[pennym]

No worries I'm just fine! Feels like I'm drunk and really light...nice effects!
