ahh... i know ive been warned about DXM being a full on, bullshit drug by others but ive read posts on bluelight and the first time i tried it i dint really feel the full effects of it. the first time i tried 50ml of robitussin. it was... so-so. i could kind of see the potential it had in it.

saturday night i decided to buy a 200ml bottle and drink half of it. at 3pm i drank 100ml and it got me good and drunk and high... but in my drunken, dissociated haziness i had the rest of the bottle in the span of in hour. i was fucked up.

i felt absolutely horrible... things were upside down, i was going in and out of consciousness on the floor every 10 minutes. i dont remember much of that night but everything was distorted, and not in the good way i had hoped. but, as i was crawled up in the corner of my room there was that hope that it was going to go away.

i woke up around 5 in the morning, still feeling the same effects and diziness as i did about 6 hours ago. delirious, distorted... all the bad 'd' words. what had i gotten myself into?! i felt like the trip was never going to end.

sunday was worse... i had to face my family with my robowalking and robotalking. im suprised they hadnt caught on looking back on it. sick as anything i crawled back into bed and tryed to sleep it off. i suppose what i was feeling more back then was anxiety more then anything... i was worrying myself silly that i had done some serious damage.

monday i felt a little better... but still... my pupils were dialated and this dxm wasnt shaking off. 'thats it, im a goner' i thought to myself. but atlast, it was starting to wear off a little bit... piece by piece i was starting to return to my normal sellf.

tuesday morning here in australia and im still feeeling a little DXM, mainly hungover though... should be better by tmrw. you guys have any opinions?
 
I tried it once.. a little less than what you did and it was the worst experience, the worst high I've ever had. I don't know how people can do that stuff and enjoy it!! It really baffles me how people can enjoy that stuff but to each is own. I did this like 5 years ago and i did it because at the time i was craving something and bored. I only had a few bucks so i got the DXM. I regretted it as soon as it kicked in. But, unlike you, it wore off in about 3 hours.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

RPG
 
^^ ahh... totally agree with you

i did it the second time because i wanted to get nice and high on a saturday night and had only some cash and nothing else. as you said, i regret it dearly.
 
i have heard that some people are deficient in the enzyme, which breaks down DXM.

hence they experience extremely intense, protracted experiences.

This is why most people do not have good experiences with DXM. It is not a forgiving, inviting, "come one, come all" substance. It is more like a dangerous and inconceivably complex artifact of alien technology accidentally left on this planet. I don't think it was built for human minds but for those willing to strap themselves in it can take you just as deep as anything else out there.

Perhaps if you approached it with more respect and the intention of learning something your experience would have been more fulfilling. I also find that cannabis and DXM are infatuated with each other, and I would never enter into Dex-space without some herb on hand.

I completely agree. I never robotrip unless I have some weed to smoke with it. Probably the greatest drug combo I've tried.
 
I had 300ml of tussin one time when, like you, I was bored and broke.

It was fucking awful, I felt like my brain was running at half power for a day or so after, I couldnt concentrate or carry on a conversation at all.

The trip wasnt good either, I had nausea the whole time and felt like my body was punishing me for the worst sin I could commit.... never ever again will I drink that awful syrup. The smell of it sickens me.

Worst drug i've ever tried bar none.

messages like that is exactly the reason why i tried the vengeful drug in the first place.

it gets a good mouth by around 20 or 30 percent of people around here and i was mystifyed by what people like about it so much. so, foolishly enough, i decided to up my dose and try to enjoy the drug. instead, i got the poison.
so yeah i totally respect those people who think that DXM is a beautiful drug. but its not for me and never will be...
 
DXM is amazing if you do it right. For me chugging down a bottle of cough syrup isnt the way to do it. I always extract, that way you arent taking in all that other shit that is in cough syrup. extraction FTW!
 
umm... i was taking something for my bronchital infection at the time, but im not sure if that wouldve affected it.
who knows, maybe it was the antibiotics.
 
^ oh that could have been the problem right there. Last time i dexed i was on antibiotics for strep, which actually turned out to be something else. but yeah, that trip was horrible. But all my other trips, while healthy, have been amazing. Try giving it another go when you are well, there is nothing quite like entering the dextroverse!
 
^ hahh... ahhh, i might not robotrip for awhile :P. maybe whenn i have a spare week in the future. i keep hearing really great things about it and i want to keep giving it another try.

didnt know that my antibiotics could affect with the DXM... oh who stupid and young i am.
 
yeh ive tried dxm twice aswell both 100ml dosages of robo. the first time was good in the beginning, a nice drunk feeling and started to have some vivid and cool thoughts however the nausea kicked in and i preceded to vomit for 30 min. the day after tho i felt very happy. the 2nd time i didnt have the vivd thoughts just the drunk feeling however after awhile i got anxiety and started thinking shuldnt of done this, so i just went to sleep.

weird drug not something id do again i think
 
Too bad for everyone who had a bad time on it.

All DXM did for me with smaller doses like lets say 300mg. Was make me supper happy. Then I started taking more and more. I think the most I ever took was about 900 to 1000 mg. And I'm a small guy 5'5. I think that was probably one of the best highs ever. I guess you can call it a religious experience. I went to a different dimension lets just put it that way.
 
When I take DXM, I don't do too much, maybe 120ml's. With that small of dose for me, I enjoy the body high and the amazing CEV's and the auditory's as well. Anymore than that and like you said, you get too disoriented.
 
i've tried it once and i had that same "retarded" feeling for the next few days.

TBH my experience wasnt bad, it just wasnt what i was expecting, i didnt really know what to expect.
I felt very drunk (physically) but i felt that i could still think straight enough. I've still got half a bottle left so i think i'll give it another go with some weed. I tried with all my might to hallucinate (dark room, closed eyes, music, silence, etc) but it just didnt happen.
I had no major nausea, i guess i felt a little uneasy as i came up, but that it.
 
the dizziness wears off after your first say.. 3 to 10 trips.

I doubt you were fading in and out of conciousness so much as you were simply blacking out completely and having no recollection of what was happening -- an academic distinction, I admit.

but the distortion, delusions, deleriousness are pretty common. That's the ticket you're buying when you drink the syrup. It's why I drink it. You're pretty much trapped in your own world for the experience. Whether this world is fun or hell pretty much depends on your perspective and how you react to what you're experiencing.

I think the main reason the effects lasted so long was because you 1) you dosed too much, and 2) you redosed midtrip.

DXM is a weird chemical. DXM actually inhibits your body's ability to metabolize it off. If you dose again while you have a signifigant amount in your body, the trip will last much, much longer. Days, even, if you really overdo it. DXM inhibits the production of some enzyme, I think it is... I can probably find literature on this if you're really interested.

How many mg of DXM did you take? How many mg per kg of weight was that dose? In my case, specifically, doses of 2.0 to 5.0 mg per kg is a good "high." Anything more is a "trip."

Anyways, if you try again, I reccomend calculalting out exactly how much you're taking and to get it all down within 1 hour, and no redosing. In my personal case, with no redosing, I'm 100% normal about 18 hours after my first sip, but functional about 12 hours afterwards.

Have you read the DXM FAQ? It's a good start to safe and responsible (mis)use of DXM.
 
^ yeah, im reluctant to try it again but i do think the problem was that i redosed another 100ml, which is 300mg of DXM... thats why im still feeling it up until now.

during maybe the first couple of hours, or the peaks of it atleast, i did feel that my bedroom was the only place i could go. the blinds and curtains were shut, the door was shut and i was in my own little world. that world however was absolute hell... i was dizzy, disorientated. eughh

i do think that i like your advice and probably will, down the track, robotrip again... this time calculating, no redosing, preparing myself beforehand. but that will be awhile...

by the by i took 100ml of robitussin first, then redosed another 100ml which is what did the damage im assuming.
 
sorry for the double post but i have decided, after reading the FAQ at Erowid on DXM throughly, i will give DXM another try, being more prepared, aware and cautious of what i am doing to myself. ill give it a week or so before i dose, but how much do you guys think i should dose this time?

im aiming for more of the second plateau. maybe, 300mg of robitussin for my 65kg body weight?
