I've done my research, and read the FAQ on Thirdplateau.org, etc. I decided I'd shoot for for a 2nd plateau trip for my first experience. I've always heard that 4oz is pefect for a beginner. The only problem is that I weight 265lbs. just under 6 feet tall, and weight plays a role in the amount you need to take to get high. I was aware of that fact, and being the cautious type, tried 4oz of Robotussin Maximum strength for the first time. I got no effects whatsoever, I waited a few hours and went to bed disappointed. A weeks later I tried 6oz of the CVS Generic Tussin Max. Strength, with no noticable results, this time I smoked a bit of marijuana after dosing with 6oz, so it was hard to tell if we were just smoking good weed, or if it was the DXM working, but I got some mild CEV while I was lying in bed, it felt like I was dreaming while being concious, and I had control over what was happening in the dream. I slept for about 8 hours afer I fell asleep and woke up feeling fine.
Last night after taking a 1 day rest, I decided to get this DXM trip going the right way. So I downed an entire
z bottle of CVS generic Tussin, and an additional 2oz leftover from a bottle from a different dosing attempt, and another 2 ounces that were left over from a bottle of Robitussin Max. Strength. (All of this was measured in a measuring cup, which made keeping track of everything easy.) According to my calculations, I consumed 1065mg of DXM.
To be honest, I can't see what everyone's problem is with chugging the stuff. I drank it an ounce of two at a time, no gagging or feeling like puking. All 12oz. were consumed within 10 minutes I estimate. Afterwords I felt no stomach pains, no nausea, no excessive farting. I can't see what everyone's problem is getting the stuff down, since I have to take way more than most people to get a similar trip.
I didn't feel anything for about an hour. I had taken no other drugs in the past few hours before taking DXM. All of a sudden I felt intensely intoxicated, the kind of whoosiness(?) you feel after drinking a lot of shots of alcohol in a few minutes time. It wasn't a sickening feeling though as you would feel from alcohol, I was enjoying it. I went upstairs to get a glass of water, I was kind of walking like a drunk. When I got back to the computer, I was trying to read some posts on BL and ODU, along with other sites I frequent, when suddenly I couldn't read the screen anymore, my eyes just couldn't focus on anything. I found that if I covered one eye I could sort of read stuff, but I wasn't really making much sense of what I was reading anyhow. I was listening to my headphones, I don't remember most of what I listening to, but I'm a Doors fan, and I remember having "Rider's On The Storm" playing which sounded great.
I remember having all kinds of "pulling sensations" on my ego and self-being while I was sitting here browsing around the boards, but nothing I can really remember specifically. At this point I decided to go to bed, I was pretty tired. I don't actually remember going to bed, but suddenly I was in my darkened bedroom in bed feeling completely fucked up. I was hallucinating but I don't remember what it was I was seeing, it was a little scary, but nothing horrendous. I wound up falling back asleep. I should mention that right after the first hour had passed I had taken a couple bong rips too, just to kick the trip into gear. I had a bunch of 1mg benzo's on hand to take just in case things got out of hand, but luckily I didn't any! Sorry I couldn't be more specific about the hallucinations, but I can't really remember them, like how you can't remember clearly about some dreams that you have.
I had dosed the 12oz between 2:00-2:10am, and woke up at 9:00am feeling a little groggy but completely sober, I went back to bed and slept till around 2pm and I've felt mentally/physically fine ever since.
