Trip Report: The "Robo Weekend"

Ok, i've always wanted to try DXM, but every time I tried to find a suitable cough syrup--it was all sold out or pulled off the shelves. Recently I've been having a bit of problems with my lungs, so I've been taking some cough syrup per directions...I noticed at the store however, that Robotussin Max Strength with only DXM was for sale!

So I bought a box, and over the course of about 10 min took 3 capfulls (about 1/2 a bottle). And waited...and waited...

I had done exhaustive research about 2 years ago into DXM, but had forgotten that it takes a whille to kick in. I was sort of wishing I could do shrooms or somthing at this point, because I wasn't feeling anything and I just sort of wanted to get really fucked up tonight...

Well I decided to take the rest of the bottle about 50 min after initial injestion. Soon after that, I started getting what I would call a "speedy" feeling. Sort of the feeling I get from perscription weight loss stimulants like phentermine. My head then started to feel odd, sort of huge I guess?!

It wasn't untill I moved from laying down to sitting up that I knew I was tripping balls to the walls. As I sat up, my vision sort of was delayed, and my body felt very, very light. I loved it. This was awesome! I started wanting to move my arms around and touch stuff and pick things up.

I grabbed my can of copenhagen and played with it, exclaiming to my sitter, "Dude these are NOT my hands! LOL!!!" I noticed someone was calling my cell phone, and I decided to answer.

My friend Adam was on the phone, wanting me to stop by his place (2 blocks away) and smoke some bowls from my new ice bong...I said "sure, give me 30 min to collect myself...I'll be over!"

Well when I stood up to get ready to go I got this sort of vertigo feeling, my ballance was off and standing was sort of hard. It was a similar feeling to being very drunk, but without loss of my mental ability of any nasuea.

Somehow, I managed to get into my car and very paranoid-like get myself over to my friend Adam's place. When I get there, he tells me that he's taken 2 percocet's and some shots and he's well lit up as well...

We proceed to smoke 2 bowls from the bong, whille watching "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"...I was totally lost the entire time sitting there starting at this huge big screen tv in the dark...

I came down somewhat, and after 2 hours felt OK enough to drive home--or so I thought. The drive home normally takes 25 min or so, but it took me about 40 (I was going super slow and being x-tra carefull). The whole ride was very entertaining, sort of like a great epic journey.

I definatley experianced "moments of eternity" all that night. It's a hard concent to understand untill you've been there.

The next night I told my friend all about my experiance and how it was so interesting, and how i got so fucked up!

So he agreed to do it with me again that night. So I went into a diffrent drug store, got 2 bottles of the exact same stuff I had the night before. This time we downed the entire bottles at once. I can't say that it hit me faster, but it did hit me harder.

About 2 hours after injesting, we're both baked and starting to really feel the effects kicking in. My friend is ADD, and he kept saying that the DXM felt like alchohol mixed with his dexadrine. I'm on 50mg Zoloft daily, and didnt have any adverse reactions.

We were supposed to get a ride from another friend at +3 hours to see "The Butterfly Effect" at the bargain movie theatre. The entire time my friend is in the backseat of the car rambling on about how he can't see or focus on anything, and me rambling on about how we're ok to go out in public. We get to the theatre and we robo walk our way to the line.

After standing in line for what seemed like an eternity we decide that the line is to long and decide to visit another friend of ours who is probably at work at the local Home Depot. We drive across town, the entire time my friend and I just sort of "exist" in the car, along for the journey. We discuss how great and euphoric we feel, and how this night is so special because we actually left the appartment to do somthing. It was awesome.

I had some String Cheese Incident playing, and it was good music--but nothing really special. I hear techno music is what is good for dissasociative trips?

We get to Home Depot, but its like 11pm and they are closed...SO, we try calling our friend on his cell phone, but no dice. We then decide to swing by his appartment (we've never been there before) and sort of crash on his saturday night. After being lost for half an hour, we find the place and we once again robowalk our way inside.

I had to go up this really steep flight of stairs, and I can remember having to litteraly pull myself up by the handrail because my sence of ballance was so bad. I had to climb up to my friend's door and and sort of stumbled inside.

He was there with his girlfriend, they were getting stoned and watching Donnie Darko. We all plopped down and proceeded to talk about our little adventure and trip. Both my friend and I were so messed up at this point, and my other friend with the girl were both appalled we'd drank cough syrup.

After we were there for about 30 min (felt like hours) I got up, and realized I was still tripping, the tracers and associated "wierdness" and "disconnected" feelings were still there. We went back to the starting point and began to smoke a little more pot.

About an hour later, the friend with the girl who we crashed in on stopped by. They brought another bong and more weed--and we smoked untill I came down.

I was more stoned than tripping when I drove home at 5:30am (damn daylight savings time!) and fell fast asleap.

I feel really good today, not tired of hung over. Mind felt sharp untill I had a wakeNbake bowl, I feel pleased with the weekend, and look forward to tripping harder next time.

I am a bit worried though because I liked the DXM trip so much. It's so easy to get and so cheap. I could go get some right now and trip again tonight. I dont have anything to do tonight/tomarrow daytime...I'm worried that using it daily or multiple times a week is bad...
 
Meh you shouldnt drive under the influence :P + posted in wrong place. Interesting tho
 
Don't abuse that stuff. Me and a friend went on a binge for like 3 months and its after effects sucked. My friend studders now sometimes and blames it on DXM :)
It can be a powerful dissociative.
It is fun but I had to quit for a while... i haven't done it in almost a year now.

I might try it again though if I get real bored :)

Don't mix DXM with pills (darvocets), there is a strong chance you will projectile puke red.
 
Isn't it funny that RoboTussin came out with pure DXM in pill form... try popping 20 of them babies :) We even found a coupon in the store!
The gel coating may upset your stomach but i think it is a lot better to take like 40 pills than 2 bottles
 
I rememered somthing else. At the end of the night, I remember sitting and having a really deep conversation with a friend of mine that wasn't high or messed up at all. We were talking about time and how people see it as a line, when it might be a sphere or a flat plane....Oh wow, man this stuff can really unlock some kind of third eye..
 
I laugh at the very thought of it. Stoned as hell, waiting in line to see a movie, and seeing two kids Robowalk their way up and into line. Haha, I'd make a fool of myself laughing.
 
Driving around on DXM and pot is a really dumb thing to do, man.

Also, just speaking for me, I can't imagine doing DXM two days in a row, let alone for a week straight. I'm always feeling hungover the following day and in no mood to do it again that soon.

No one said anything to us, although im sure that we didn't look quite right. Robowalking is somthing that has to be experianced of seen to understand. I had no idea what it would be like, and in retrospect I can laugh now, and feel sorry for my sober friend that was sitting us...

these upset my stomach badly and seem to make me more confused.

About the trip report -- real good job on it. interesting read. i was the same way the first time i did dxm. i didnt feel much til i stood up.. "well i think im gonna go." thats what i said. as soon as i stood up, i felt drunk as FUCK. i remember that whole night thinking "this is the best drug ever!!"
 
Lay off the Zoloft, i've had serotonin syndrome after being on Paxil and doing DXM. Let me tell you it's not very nice 8)

Been there, done that...sweating profusely, shaking...yup.
 
you all need to try cordicidin cough and cold (only cough and cold ) i say take 16 others say 8 but you can buy them at walmart, you dont have to go thru the trouble of drinking anything. couple of my friends got sick of it but i think its one of the hardest trips ive had without the visuals..
 
CCC(Coricidin Cough and Cold) is really harmful and can kill you when you take too much, under no circumstances eat CCC to get high. Try to find another brand of pills that contain DXM, and only DXM as the active ingredient
 
I believe that DXM-only pills are no longer sold OTC in the US. I know that a few years ago you could, but I believe they figured out that kids were popping them to trip and now you have to deal with the nasty cough syrup in order to use DXM over-the-counter.
 
You know, tripping is far better used as a self discovery tool rather than just for getting "fucked up".

And evidently if you had done the proper research, you would understand that using DXM daily, or even weekly is indeed bad for you, so try not to be foolish, and let yourself use it sparsely and enjoy it moreso on the times you do have it.

Robotussin makes them.
Robo-walking robo-tussin heh heh

They came out with those pills in the states right about the time that the media was hyping robo-triping and cough syrup and pills. The pills came out about the same time i started robo tripping.
The pills are really strong, taking 20 of them, (a 300mg dose I believe) gave me one of my hardest DXM experience ever.

I wouldnt reccomend techno for a DXM trip. Some light epic house or even ambient or trip hop seems best suited.

I meant electronic music... not techno. I know some of you are real particular when you are talking about your favorite types of electronic music.

It's all good!

Listening to any dynamic uplifting music on DXM is an experience to remember. Especially if you are wearing good headphones.

I agree completely. I swear that DXM makes you psychic. Whenever I would robo-trip with someone, we would sit in the dark listening to seperate music on seperate headphones.
We could look at each other and think, lets talk about such and such now. Everyone would take off there headphones and be on the same level. Talk about the same stuff and have the same perspective. I can't even explain it but you fell connected on DXM. Much in the same way that you feel connected with your friends on MDMA.
