I'm not exaclt sure how to calculate how much DXM I consumed BUT IF I did it correctly I took 600 mg of it. 4 oz at 15mg/5ml someone please correct me if I'm wrong, either way it would be around 300 if I was and it should be a pretty good second plateau but I felt almost NOTHING. I felt a very weak 1st: kinda drunk, kinda hard to walk, but no dissociative effects. I had eaten about an hour before I took it and I ate a whole subway sandwich so I'm thinking that may have been it, but can anybody enlighten me on what i did wrong? Last time I took roughly 300-350 mg's and I was FLYING so I don't know what went wrong.

What brand of dxm did you consume? Did the two times differ? I just calculated you taking 355 mg of dxm by consuming a 4 oz bottle at that dosage. Next time I would also try to eat a little earlier. Try adding grapefruit juice and come vitamin c- this potentiates the dxm. Take it all at the same time. And of course smoke pot once you have a good come up, this will send you off into the altered dimension
It was some generic brand, but last time it was generic too and it felt pretty strong. I forgot to mention I had smoked weed last time but this was when i Was already feeling pretty out of it, the weed just sent me to a whole other world. Last time I think it was around the 2 hour mark where I started to feel really out of it so I got up and smoked a pretty big bowl, after that the walls were moving, I felt like my body was a foot away from me and I couldn't decide if I was real or not. It was about a half year ago so I can't really remember if I hate eaten or not but I'm pretty sure it was on an empty/almost empty stomach. I plan to take the same dose again tonight on an empty stomach to see if it makes a difference.

There are just shy of 30ml per oz (29.5735) so...
30 x 4 = 120ml x 3mg/ml = 360mg of DXM
There really is no way for us to be able to definitely answer why your experiences differed so much. It's possible there was an error calculating the dosage (some brands vary in their DXM per ml for example); eating prior can certainly prolong the onset which itself can make it subjectively seem less intense and can mitigate the effects to a small degree but wouldn't explain feeling almost nothing; cannabis use will certainly greatly amplify the effects but it sounds like you were feeling the DXM strongly the first time prior to using it; 'set and setting' can certainly greatly impact how drugs such as DXM affect you so that might play a role as well - differences in how you felt going in to the 2 experiences and where you physically had them could be a factors.
Overall, it's unlikely YOU can fully know in retrospect exactly why that disparity occurred so we certainly can't. All we can do is theorize/speculate.

Well as far as the set and setting it was the same because I did it in my room, except last time when I started to feel it kicking in I layed down and kinda just let it hit me. This time I was playing video games and just waiting for it but I never got more than a drunk queazy feeling so maybe that may have been it and like I said I'm almost positive it was because of all the food I ate, I also drank some water maybe 15 mins after because the syrups taste pretty nasty, I still had the taste in my mouth so it wasmaking me even more nauseas than DXM usually makes me after ingesting. I was gonna do it again tonight but I ended up going to a party and ate quite a bit so I'm gonna do it tomorrow on an empty stomach. Also, the kind I took last time was exactly the same I took this time (15mg/5ml) the only differencewas brand name so that left me stumped. Wish me luck on my next DXM experience.
you basically answered your own question in your first post. it's definitely because you ate before hand (especially since you took it an hour after eating). if someone eats a large meal, even dosing 3-4 hours after can delay the peak significantly sometimes, depending on what was ingested.
whenever i used to take DXM, i'd make sure i hadn't eaten anything for at least 6 hours before i planned on dosing. with DXM it's all about how quickly you can flood your receptors that determines how hard you will trip.
also, not sure if you're planning on smoking weed or not for the peak, but i recommend trying 600mg by itself first before adding any weed to potentiate it. i took 700mg once and smoked weed and the experience was much more than i bargained for. it was not a pleasant experience. shit can go bad real quick.
also, not sure if you know this or not but to get the most out of the experience you should lay down in your bed with all light sources completely off. it helps to fold a blanket or some garments over your eyes too to make sure you get it as dark as possible, that way the closed-eyed visuals are the most prominent. have a bucket nearby too, in case a random puke sneaks up on you. i never used to have to puke, but the last time i did it i puked pretty hard. good luck, and let us know how it goes. you can write a summary of your experience in this thread if you like http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/...uot-but-I-don-t-wanna-write-out-a-Trip-Report

Am going to close this as the question has been answered really, and I don't want it to descend into speculation or a trip report (as Korn3x said there is a forum for that, or tell us about it in the BDD Social and Information Booth
