DXM - First Time - Paradise Extreme (pt 1)

Fascinating. I have come head to head with the thought of death many a time on DXM, and have come out the better every time. I've done ketamine, it's freaking sweet, but it feels so hollow, when compared to DXM, as if ket is just a cheap thrill and DXM is the full experience. And yes, DXM and Shrooms are undeniably different. Shrooms tend to expand oneself outwards with a little work, and DXM really throw someone into themselves without their consent. DXM I've done plenty more times than shrooms, but that I can say with some certainty.

For what it's worth, I hate DXM because it makes me feel absolutely horrible and it lingers for 2 days (although not 3). I love ketamine, though. It's extremely profound and psychedelic, unlike anything else. Also, after it wears off there's a bit of a hangover but it only lasts a couple of hours, and sometimes I even feel great right after the drug wears off. In any case, it takes far less of a toll on my body than DXM does.

However. do be very careful. I'm not trying to recommend ketamine... it's a tough call.

I really want to try K, because I loved the actual positive effects of DXM, and I have heard nothing but good things about K. It seems like a less dirty version of DXM with more to teach.

Rest assured that if I do, it will be a while from now, and I will take it VERY slow.

I think the DXM afterglow has been mental - I had an incredible axiety attack after smoking weed again tonight (I felt pretty normal for three hours, so I figured I would give it a shot). After the attack, I lied in bed for two hours, half freaking out half calming myself.

That was about two hours ago and I have been fine since then. I am coming to understand that this is wholly mental, and that DXM is only lingering slightly. I think that I convinced myself it is still in me.

I will finish the report and give a recap of the last three days for you all by tomorrow, assuming I still feel as good as I do now =)
 
Not entirely, but pretty much. I only notice things are "off" if I focus on it.

My pupils are randomly going from huge to normal, depending on exposure to sun. Just smoked a bowl and it feels like it totally killed my tolerance... a little intense, even.
 
Haha DXM also lingers around for 2+days for me.



It only does this at 300mgs+ . The 2 days afterwards my vision becomes "laggy" like playing a first person shooter with 30fps. My coordination is off for the first day but better after that, and my appetite dies COMPLETELY. Sometimes i also get the shits which are annoying as hell :-\


Hrmm maybe we are both enzyme deficient lol?
 
Possibly. Thanks for the input, glad to know I'm not alone... I feel like my weed tolerance has been shot! I giggled for a few minutes straight, haven't done that in months!

Part two by tonight hopefully, thanks for all the positive replies.
 
You will find you have a lower tolerance to weed the day after any psychedelic or disassociative trip.
 
good report it was a more interesting read then some of the higher plateau trips which seem convoluted some times. and thats pretty sweet that you had such an intense trip on only 210 mg. im curious about this enzyme deficiencey is it a bad thing or does dxm just hit these people harder and with a longer lasting trip. ive heard about the enzyme deficiencey but havent really read into it. are people with this deficiencey in any serious danger if they take dxm. this is all out of curioustity i robotripped many times and know that i dont have the deficiencey plus im not caucassian either
 
I'm not entirely familiar with the deficiency myself. I just hit baseline, I've been having increasingly mild anxiety attacks (the first ones were intense, though) since the night I did the DXM.

I have a feeling that I don't even have the enzyme deficiency, because I felt totally fine during the trip. Only after I started to come down did it get uncomfortable and bad. The DXM is completely out of my system and I am fully aware of this now, but my constant searching for an explanation for my current condition led me down a dark path. Let me elaborate:

No matter what condition I was in - be it high, DXM afterglow, or even mostly sober - I was constantly paranoid about the drug's existence within me. This cause me to search for symptoms I didn't have, caused me to pay extra special attention to things that were not even there. My pupils are still kind of dilated, but on my way to the library I ran into a weed buddy of mine who has been clean all week ( to see if he could do it ) and his pupils were much bigger than mine due to the darkness outside. This helped me realize that I was just having anxiety.

The attacks and uncomfortability were all in my head, but no matter how aware of this I was at any given point, I STILL searched for negative signs. All I had to do was focus on the positive and resume my normal routine, and I feel wonderful now. The attacks weren't anything close to what DXM was - they were anxiety attacks, pure and simple.

Tonight I'm going to smoke weed and I foresee no problems. I am going to stay away from DXM until I do shrooms again. If all goes well, I may come back to this problem child of mine and work my way up from 120mg, 150, etc. to see how much of the afterglow was mental.

Ever since I have been a kid, I have occaisionally sat in my bed at night with nothing to do but ponder. And if I ponder hard enough, I can send myself into a temporary state that I can only describe as pure, unadultered and unfiltered reality. This experience is both incredible horrifying and extremely enticing. I often bring myself to this thought pattern knowing how evil it is and how over-the-top it is, only to regret it the instance it hits. I have to sit up and mumble to myself "I do exist, this is all real, the world is real" over and over. If I don't, I (albeit irrationally) fear I may drop out of existence. This all happens when I'm totally sober. This thought process has been my one true fear in life, and I still have no idea how to put its pure intensity into words.

Wow, I used to get that same feeling as a kid! I haven't felt it in a long time, perhaps the filters I view the world through have become more solid and inflexible as I've grown older. I would love to feel it again, it is so intense, dark and raw... it feels like physically experiencing the question, "Why?"

Wow!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. You put it very well... it truly is the epitome of feeling the question "why" but feeling no answer to the question!
