DXM - First Time - What the FUCK?

DXM first trip What the FUCK?

Two nights ago me and a couple of friends drove down to see a friend in his dorm having no idea what we were going to do, me and my friend lo each had a hit of dxm with us-- we'd been putting off taking it for a really long time. recently we'd both dropped acid and had a horrible experience, stupidly i assumed oh i can handle acid, ive done it plenty of times before, and didn't take into account how unpredictable it is, and ended up experiencing the worst 16 hours or so of my life. but anyway being aware of this i havent tripped since, and the more i read about DXM the more turned off i was towards it. So i just let this hit sit there.

The dxm was in powder form in capsules there were 2 pills and four of us so we decided to find some empty capsules and split up the powder evenly, hoping it would be strong enough. we sat around in his dorm for about 30 minutes before i felt the initial head rush it was like a rush of warmth the my head, and i could tell everyone else was starting to feel it to. for some reason the starting point of dxm felt a little like ecstasy, but not nearly as good.

I was laying on a couch relaxed as all hell, and the last thingi remember thinking was woow i almost feel sober right now, theres no way this is working. at some point i was completely disconnected from my body. the best i can describe the whole experience as was---opposites.

I felt heavy as hell one minute, but then like i could float away the next moment. id lay on the couch convinced i could never get up and then finally jumping up and feeling like i was walking on the moon, weighless i just floated into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror and screamed because i couldnt believe it was me, i felt like i was a seperate being looking at this strange girl in the mirror. i guess afterwards i sat on the couch babbling about infinity and snapping my fingers and weird shit and thinking the most logical complete whole thoughts id ever had on a trip.

In some fucked up way i expected to have a horrible time on this, but i had to do it anyway, disregarding my gut. i ended up actually loving the feeling i have no idea why. i actually thuroughly enjoyed the whole experience i fell asleep with a huge smile on my face and woke up feeling a great afterglow.

Usually when i like a drug i tend to repeat it over and over again until a) it gets old b) it fucks with my head c) it makes me sick, but somehow with dxm i felt once was enough and somehow content.

Great tale, sounds like you had a top time

I've heard DXM can be like this, that one good experience is enough for some people... couldn't vouch for the legitimacy of this but I don't see reason to doubt it..

I'm keen to do DXM myself... I have done a DXM extraction once but I wasted a lot of it (had an accident and spilt the solution) so it wasn't as much as I planned to take. I had a short trip.. a few crazy things happened, so I'm keen to give it a proper go :D

I have that same feeling of totally being floored then i start thinking....i want to get up...i i want to get up... and then all of a sudden, without me expecting it, i just *POW* stand up and start motoring around.

i get a wierd flexed-up feeling in my muscles too...anyone else like that?

DXM is fun, but its jus not worth all the damage it does to u

What damage? Olney Lesions are still unproved, and the only other problem I see is all the sugar, and hell it ain't all that much either.

Haha, funny how that goes. You always think you're controlling yourself, but really, you're in the passenger seat for it

I was wondering if anyone knows the proper dosage for a sigma journey on dxm. I weigh 151 and i have experienced all four plateaus multiple times. Please help me out

From The Erowid DXM FAQ :

Combining suggestions from others I have come up with the following dosage regimen. Start relatively early in the day (the experience degrades if one is too fatigued), at about 6 to 10 hours after awakening. It helps tremendously if one is in good physical shape and not under emotional stress. Take a low second plateau dose. In three hours (or about 1 hour after the peak), take a second low plateau dose. At three more hours (or, again, 1 hour after second peak) take a high second plateau or low third plateau dose. After coming down from the third plateau, instead of going back to the second plateau and down to baseline, you may be left in Plateau Sigma. Drugs which inhibit cytochrome P450-2D6 seem to enhance the duration and intensity of the experience. Nicotine is reported to inhibit it, and may even prevent it entirely.

At Plateau Sigma interesting things happen to reality. Some have reported vivid, entirely realistic contacts with alien entities, spirits, gods and goddesses. Unlike the fourth plateau, these contacts often take place with eyes open, immersed in everyday reality. Although none of the people who reported these experiences to me had bad trips, most related that the experiences were so real that they felt they easily could have.

Vision suffers a curious change, seeming to consist of well-processed but highly strobed images; so strong is the effect that it seems as if one is looking at the world under a fast strobe light. The eyes don't seem to track in synch with the inner 3D model of the world, so that when one looks to one side or another, the world lurches back and forth for a moment. Interestingly, it almost seems as if one is looking at the world from an inner vision with the eyes closed (see Section 5.11).

Finally, thoughts can be totally deranged. Connections between entirely unrelated ideas form, causality goes out to lunch, and one's personality seems pretty much dissolved into the universe. Expect to hear a lot of voices; some people find themselves totally obedient to them. There seems to be a "tireless" quality to the experience, as if one does not feel either fatigue or emotion directly, but only receives information from the inner voices ("sit down now, you're tired"). There are interesting comparisons both to accounts of acute schizophrenia and to Jaynes' postulated bicameral mind (350).

Again, let me warn you of the dangers here. You are probably stepping head first into psychosis, and unless you've got a very good trip sitter, you might end up coming back to reality in a padded room. Or, if you're really unlucky, you might freak out, have a hypertensive crisis, and end up in the hospital. Chronic high-dose use of PCP has been implicated both in deterioration of some brain areas and in cerebral hemorrhages. While PCP stands somewhat alone among dissociatives due to its additional and peculiar pharmacology, one should always be cautious when blazing trails in uncharted territory.
