Just thought I'd write this report, not to bore you guys with my exciting evening but really to give me an opportunity to ask some questions.

Me and my friend got a bottle of Robitussin DX, and proceeded to take half each (300mg). Played games for about 45 minutes then the effects started to settle in. There were 3 other people around who were unaware of what we were doing (mostly anyway).

Basically as it came on, I got an extreme itch all over my body. My head was on fire I never had to scratch so desperately before. After a while if I realised if just didn't scratch it for about 20 seconds it went away entirely, basically for the next half hour lights seemed to throb slightly, mainly the glow of the TV screen as we were playing in a darkened room and me and my friend were in pretty good spirits, laughing at most things. This lasted for about another half an hour and then we sorta just mellowed and the effects didn't feel any different to a beer or two. Actually if I didn't know I had taken anything I wouldn't have noticed I was feeling anything out of the ordinary.

So this leads me to my Q's. After ingesting 300mg I didn't know what to expect, but I thought it would be more than I described above. I wasn't expecting visuals or anything but perhaps a different thought pattern or something, the kind that you get on Ecstasy. Hard to explain but E users can probably catch my drift.

Also, it was over fairly quickly, I would put any noticeable effects over within two hours tops.

One more (well, two or three really).

What is considered 3rd and 4th plateau and how much DXM will get you too this level??

Sorry for the boring report but it wasn't much to write about, just some fun.

The fun with DXM starts at 400mg+ :) . Then you'll get the weirdest thought patterns ever, they're the reason I like DXM. Never do over 800mg and never do over 500mg inexperienced. If you like it and get a bit experienced with it, 600mg is the perfect dose imo but it really differs from person to person and DXM dosing is VERY body-weight dependent. This should come in handy: http://ledahosting.com/~ahughes/DXM/dxmcalc.htm

P.S.: if you want to do something trippy on DXM, read conspiracy theories. You'll see why ;)
Good luck and thanks for the report.
 
how's your math? for best trippy thoughts, i reccomenend 6mg/kg to 12 mg/kg. Anything higher would usually just be a blackout.

since you're new to it, try between 6mg/kg to 8mg/kg. also, try playing music you like -- that can be really intense (not everyone gets the music-fun, though, hope you do!)

when you're peaking, try playing some music and closing your eyes. it should be quite interesting.

build slow. an under dose might be boring, but an overdose can be really, really, unpleasant for a very long time.
 
the best advice i can give is to smoke some weed about 2 hours after dosing, if your into that sorta thing. in my experience, adding weed to the DXM high really brings it up to a whole new level. for example, 350mg on its own would make me a little off balance, like a couple of beers. but when i smoke up on that dose, it's a really intense, trippy experience thats totally amazing. give it a try, and be safe.
 
Also dark rooms can be sweet on high doses where you get visuals and can get really into music. But for lower doses I like walking around outside it's so crazy. The world is slowed down to a crawl but you're moving fast, but still slow as if you're underwater.
 
Thanks for replying guys. I'm thinking of doing 500mg next time or doing the same dose and some weed. It's funny you mention that about the weed because I had read similar things, that it enhances the high. Were not allowed to smoke at my friends house so we went to the nearby park and as we were getting it ready the cops pulled up so we ran. Close call there.

Definitely have to get some music going next time, we didn't have any just video games and they were distracting us really.
 
You should measure DXM doses in mg/kg, because it depends strongly on your body weight. Assuming you're not enzyme deficient-- and your report makes it seem like you're certainly not-- lazydullard's suggestion of 12mg/kg would put you high 3rd/low 4th plateau. For me all the magic is at that dose, and I never bother with anything but 3rd plateau anymore. I wouldn't try it at that level socially though. You'll mostly want to lay in the floor/on your bed with the lights out, listening to music and feeling retarded while you're overwhelmed by visions. :)

If the itch bothers you, take a Benadryl before you trip. I don't get the itch personally, but I've seen a lot of reports from people who said it helps. Mind, we're talking about one or two here-- a regular therapeutic dose. You don't want to go fucking around with DPH while you're on DXM!
 
Thanks for the TR Suity.

I'm going to DXM for the first time soon - think I'm using the same product too. I wonder if doing an extraction would lessen this itching thing?
 
i only get into that crazy dxm headspace when im in a dark room listening to music naked at about the 600mg mark (im about 155 pounds), doing anything else on dxm seems like a waste to me.

It's caused by the DXM, not by anything in the syrup. It seems like just another of those things that happens to some but not others.

If I remember correctly, Robitussin DX is the formulation that contains only DXM as an active ingredient and no decongestants or expectorants? If so then the only real benefit of an extraction would be having to drink less liquid, and cutting out the binders and sugars that make some people sick. There are people who say that extracted DXM is different from just chugging the syrup, but I think that's gotta be subjective.

The experience of knowing how to do the extraction is worthwhile if you're ever in a position where you can't get a DXM-only formulation, or if you're just sick of drinking a ton of viscous, red, smelly sugar water. So just for that, if you're not intimidated by the process or something, I'd recommend trying the extraction.

It's useful to note that if you have those huge liquor stores in your area that have everything under the sun, and sell their own brewing supplies, you can find food-grade citric acid powder there. They sell it to adjust the pH of fermenting wine. I feel better using citric acid + water than fucking around with lemon juice.

Cheers!
 
it soundz like u barely even reached threshold dose, if I were u I'd double up to 600mg. Music is key IMO, u can float/fly thru the craziest worlds/landscapes, it's sooo euphoric. but be carefull not to overshoot the dosage or you'll probly blackout
