DXM - First Time - Confused, Dissociated and Just Plain Odd

I took DXM today. I dosed 6 20ml med caps, so 120ml @ 30mg DXM per 10g so about 360mg

I didn't know what I was in for, all I had heard is that it was like being stoned and drunk at the same time (which I have experienced previously). Really, I think this is an inaccurate representation.

After taking 6 20ml shots of dxm, I sat back, listened to some music and waited for the peak. I'd just eaten lunch so I assumed it would take about an hour to kick in. Half an hour had passed and I began to feel weird, similar to the 'come up' when smoking marijuana - an anxious, disorientated feeling. I found I had to get up, take a walk and clear my mind. This happened a few more times until the peak hit (2nd plateau I guess).

A loss of reality came over me that was similar to that of a strong marijuana high, but my brain was not as impared as if I had been smoking pot - I could still read and function as normal, at least I thought till I got up. When I went to grab a glass of water, the dizziness and more disorientation hit - I began to think this was a dirty high, my heart was racing and I just felt really munted.

I decided I needed some 'chill out' time and set myself up a bean bag in a dark room with aircon on (hot here, I'm in Australia). Music sounded good, and I had mild euphoria and I felt quite good, despite a bit of nausea and lingering dizziness. The high was similar to being drunk at this point (probably end of 2nd plateau) and all anxiety had disappeared. I think I began entering the comedown stages here - The dizziness started up again, and I just felt anxious and burnt out - Similar to coming down from a strong weed high, but maybe even worse.

A friend of mine came around and we went for a drive - out in public it was like I was nodding out - in and out of reality, it was dreamlike and surreal at stages - a pretty crappy feeling. We drove around for half an hour, I grabbed a coke, drank it down and now I'm in some form of normality. The changeback to reality was actually quite instant - I'm still a little buzzed now, but there was a clear cut 'fucked up to sober' period.

The verdict - DXM (at least for me) is not really worth it. It reminds me of all 3 drugs I have tried in its own way, ecstasy (in the way it removes inhibition), alcohol with the loss of motor skills and weed with the mental reality loss effects. I found my eyes felt pretty fucked up on it too - Like I was on a pill.

All in all, I won't be bothered with it again - If I want to get a drunk/stoned feeling in the future I'll stick to my faithful friends, booze and pot. I think DXM is a pretty dirty sensation and doesnt have too much recreation value - It might be good in a small group of friends for a bit of an introspective chat at the latter stages of the high when you aren't completely munted but coherent enough to think. Other than that - not worth the effort.

Great report fellow aussie! Great choice to stick to the 2 tried and true, booze n buds :D

I absolutely hate DXM, I get the same effects you described but I seem to just get really paranoid and look like the living dead.

The first few times I did it I loved it, it was like really hallucinogenic ecstacy but then I did something wrong and took a dose oneday and started throwing up, my temp skyrocketed and I was convulsing for about 4-6 hours(dont rememeber) it was one of my lowest points. I must have had a MAOI or SSRI in my system or something else. Ever since DXM has been shite, most drugs are shite these days hence me not doing any..
 
I also hate DXM, and I also loved it the first few times I did it. Then for some reason it got horrible, and now if I even have 20mg for cough suppression it makes me feel depressed and braindead and just overall horrible for 16-24 hours.
 
I personally love DXM and it is the only drug besides Ketamine that has taken me into the astral plane where I could go anywhere in the world (with closed eyes) It is so intense for me and I usually consume 700-1000mg. Also, I get this weird sensaiton on DXM when i close my eyes that I still see the room around me with my eyes closed, and then i open them since I think they are open and im like holy shit, this is strannnnnge.

Different strokes for different folks!

Same here except I only about 20 minutes of niceness the fist time I did it and that was with nitrous too.
 
I enjoy DXM, especially thrid plateau doses. I get the most crazy skin sensations and closed eye visuals. By skin sensations I mean I literally feel my body warp into different shapes and things I'm touching feel like they melt right into me then start to move around in me, its so hard to explain. After closing my eyes for a a short amount of time I accually go into the "dark" you see when you close your eyes and I get transported to a whole nother fucking world where I can see my body from a third person view in this world with all these intense visuals going on around me.
DXM is probably one of my favorite drugs and one of the most intense drugs I can think of...
 
Sounds like you didn't warm up to dxm's disassociative effects. As I've said before, I'll say it again. Dxm isn't for everyone. Its unlike alot of other drugs. I loved the disassociation on dxm, and losing your ego on a trip is good for the soul every now and then. But some people could easily do without.
 
DXM for me made me throw up and get nausea with a reward of a little buzz. Kinda like a e buzz i did about 300mg but my friend said i got sick cuz i ate all the pillz at once he said i shud space it. Cuz i wanna do DXM i seems fun
 
I felt like someone had rubbed icy hot all over me and my teeth were moving. It was disgusting, thats one thing I will never do again. And I did coricidin so that was another mishap
 
Yeah - just an update - I did have some introspective experiences off DXM, but they were generally confined to the afterglow when I wasn't fucked up completely. I don't regret doing it, as it is definitely a different experience, I just think that for me it is a 'dirty high' with a lot of negatives and few positive experiences.

In retrospect, I guess for me it was similar to smoking weed the first few times - I got overwhelmingly fucked up, then during the 'wear off' period - the contrast back to reality resulted in a rewarding, introspective period. I don't know if that will make sense, but it does to me :D

Look no more, minority. : - )

you can get it from cat piss thats dried out in the litter box if its clumped up enuff. or just milk a cats penis to get about 2-3 tablespoons , should do the trick.

apparently posting when on drugs seems like the thing to do around here.
