Hello,
I am normally a reader and not a poster- but I had an interesting experience that might be helpful to someone. I was experimenting with DXM and had been trying various doses for about 8 months. I usually did 350mg (a 4oz bottle) and occasionally did 700mg when I didn't have work/engagements the following day. Well I have struggled with migraines my whole life and during a visit my doctor decided to try Buproprion (Wellbutrin) 300mg daily to see if that helped the migraines.
I had been taking Buproprion for about a week when I took a dose of DXM... and wow. I had the most powerful trip/event I can imagine. The world was vibrant, my emotions were akin to being on ecstasy, and it didn't stop... This went on for days. This might sound like fun, but I felt like I was empowered to take on the world. After a couple of days I had told myself that I had simply uncovered truths about myself and this wasn't connected with anything that I had taken. And I started making major changes. I quit grad school and took a job as a computer programmer. (Crazy story there) It wasn't until I was sharing my life with a friend a few weeks later who was studying psychology who said- "I think you were manic during that time." I looked it up and did some studying and I think she was right. I was in a mania for about 2 weeks.
I am lucky I didn't do anything too stupid. But I did make some major life decisions while totally incapable of making them intelligently.
Lesson- mixing drugs can cause crazy effects. For me DXM and bupropion sent my brain into la-la land for way too long.
