Whenever I used to take a light to moderately strong dose of DXM, about 300 - 350mg for me, which brought me to the second plateau, the next day I always felt wonderful. Almost refreshed - and people say they get hangovers with DXM! I definitely got a marked afterglow the next day. I felt relaxed, maybe a bit tired, but relatively content, and almost very mildly euphoric, like if I was on a low dose of a benzodiazepine.

Does anyone else experience this?
 
OMG is it not the best feeling ever?

I totally get it all the time. Its my favorite part. I am a little more cocky, a little more wild, outspoken and such. But also I feel cleansed. I feel pure. And I just feel heavenly and like nothing is going to bring me down.
 
I would usually head to the beach during the afterglow. Perfectly relaxing locale for the day afterwards.

I swear, it really does feel like a small dose of lorazepam or something. It's so weird!
 
Yes I'd get this too, it was a weird contrast of the ride you get on DXM, it can be a hellish tiring experience or a beautiful colorful trip still had a refreshed feeling the next day.
 
Of course, without fail. I'm basking in a wonderful glow right now :)

Such pure feelings of inner peace and inner strength. Like a fresh cold wind cleansing the soul. Absolutely beautiful.
 
I used to get a pleasant afterglow after a night of dxm.

But now it feels nuetral, almost dysphoric. I just feel completely dumb and exausted when I wake up the next morning
 
^ & that's why I don't take Dex anymore. The high is no longer fun, its debilitating and all I can think about is death in a dynamic way from an infinite amount of angles and perspectives. And then the next day, oh god, the next day, I'm practically a walking vegetable. My friend refers to it as being a husk of a human.
 
Well so far despite probably 8 solid trips and another 8 low level "social" doses I have yet to have any lack of fun.

I have to say I love the day after. I just like the way I feel with some of the goods lingering in my system. Perfect man.

And yeah even the time I went 10.5mg/kg and the night went rough, I still felt good the next day. Really something.

Heck man I'm rocking 5 hours of sleep from my trip last night and I feel like a million euros
 
The dxm hangover is a love/hate relationship IMO. If you have nothing to do after robotripping except hanging out with bros, then it's fine. If, however, you have something to do afterward, it's just annoying and unwanted.
 
I've found over the last few years better and better ways to really minimize the hangover of DXM and turn it into more purely a pleasant afterglow. The key is you need to be on the right health supplements, nootropics and/or healthy herbs when you do DXM.

Any of the following will help make a DXM trip clearer, less forgetful and most importantly not make you wake up feeling burnt the next morning:

Vitamins (preferably liquid form as that usually absorbs better), Piracetam, Lecithin, DMAE (don't take Lecithin and DMAE in the same night though as this while give you too much Choline), Rhodiola, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl-l Carnitine, CoQ10

I can bet Hydergine, Centrophenoxine, Vinpocetine, Vasopressin would also help make a DXM trip much clearer and less cloudy and confusing.

Heck, stuff like Bacopa, Ashwagandha, Ginseng, Maca might help too.

Oh, also Kratom does WONDERS for making DXM feel much clearer and less confusing. Try like 6-10 grams of Red Veined Thai Kratom with your DXM and ye shall see.
 
I get mixed results from the day after dxm, sometimes I feel great and sometimes I feel like total crap :p

DXM sounds like a terrible high. To each their own?

Yeah, people tend to think of it as a crappy high, but personally its very enjoyable for me :)
 
The first couple of times I used DXM I used cough gels, and the next day definitely felt the whole "brain-damaged vegetable" effect... since I've been using pure hydrobromide, or extracting my own crystal from cough syrup, I haven't had that problem at all (and my trips are much better). If anything, I feel sharper the next day. Maybe this is a key factor?
 
Not so sure there honestly.

I use the cough gels regularly, at times in combination with Delsym. I personally notice no difference. And I have tripped sans-gels and not seen much of a difference.

I have however NEVER done pure crystal.

To Tomer, its a unique thing. I find it amazing and profound and fun and enjoyable in every way. I never feel "dirty" or "burnt" or spent or anything negative. But its certainly not your elevated weed high or a buzzing happy opiate high.
 
Somewhat? I feel kind of..numb, don't really care, out of it. It can be slightly euphoric when you're trying to somewhat escape reality.
 
1st time i tried it (300mg) i didnt have a good time, had big double vision but no visuals (i went into it expecting/hoping for visuals), ended up lying on my bed wanting it to end. I wasnt having a bad time/trip i just wanted it to be over. Next few days i felt like my IQ had been cut in half, really dopey.

2nd time, also at 300mg (the other half of the bottle) had a blast, massive euphoria with music, feeling 'floaty', dancing felt AWESOME, i'd feel comfortable going to a club like that. Smoked a little weed 2.5 hours in which gave me some really abstract CEVS, landscapes made out of arrows, etc. Next day i felt awesome, very euphoric afterglow.


I still havent figured out exactly what i did differently but i think the second time i had a better midset going into it, i let myself be taken by the dex as opposed to trying to control things in the first trip.
 
Love it. I'm nice to everyone, uninhibited, abstract creative thoughts that make people smile and laugh. Imagine the bliss when combining it with a benzo cocktail of say, 1mg clonazepam and 10mg valium RIGHT when you wake up the morning after you trip, then go shopping or whatever pleases you. One of the yummiest states of minds ever, that afterglow. I almost like it better than the trip.

Almost.

Edit - That cocktail I described could put a person pretty out of it the day after DXM use depending on your tolerance. Proceed at your own risk. Personally I stay away from DXM these days; the magic is just gone. I should give it a year.

I can't believe so many like DXM.

It's not nearly as good as shrooms. It does make some trip harder than on acid/shrooms in higher doses but in my opinion the shit makes you vomit and not feel nearly as good as shrooms.

I've had a fourth plateau on DXM before too. Not fun, way too fucked.

I've had two good trips on DXM and one intense or bad one as you call it. You have to take so much of it to get high, who likes drinking that much cough syrup or swallowing so much gel. High school drug to me.
 
I've gotta say I often have moods where i greatly prefer DXM to Mushies or Cidney. Mushrooms and blotter have their time and place and all and can be quite fulfilling but I have to be in a very specific mindset sometimes to appreciate them. DXM, however, i can enjoy in any mindset. And with DXM I always know where the trip will go and have total complete control. I can't say the same of certain batches of Psilo or Paper.

DXM makes my brain feel like a very advanced efficient supercomputer that I've suddenly been given complete control over and I can access whatever memory file I choose and even edit over memories if I want (and turn negative memories into positives :)

I've a feeling I'll appreciate DXM a lot more when I'm retired and elderly because by then I wont have to drag myself to work the day after Robotripping. I'll be able to just spend the day after contemplating and integrating the trip insights. However, doing DXM as an elderly gentleman could obviously be quite dangerous. I'd hope my one day frail, elderly body can still handle 300 mg of Dex though (boosted with nuggets of course and perhaps Kratom mmm).

If you think overdoing DXM automatically results in being spaced out and fried remember I've Dexed over 1,000 times and would like to think I'm still quite "there" and not stuck in a burnt loop. 10 years of Dexing and it still has not gotten old. I reach points where I quit a few months, sure, but I always return. I don't know that I'll always return to Phens and Trypts but DXM I have a feeling I will. It just agrees far too much with my brain chemistry to not occasionally explore its potential. Ketamine, however, fuck that. My psyche simply cannot handle its magnificent power.

I wouldn't call DXM a "high". Maybe 1st and 2nd plateaus are. But those are not enjoyable IMo.

3rd and 4th plataue are where the fun is, and that's hardly a high. It's pretty much like a full-on psychedelic trip. You have to lay down the whole time though, you'll be extremely dizzy and you can hardly feel your body or walk.

It's not a high school drug. Maybe you just don't know how to get ahold of pure DXM powder, high schooler *lol*

It's a dissocitive, maybe you just like the psychedelics. DXM takes me to the same place that LSD does, though obviously it's another way to get there.
