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 8oz 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.

I have been wanting to robo tripp for a while now and i was wondering if the precription robotussian is better or at all any good? would i need to go out and buy some extra strength.? i am 195lbs would i need to drink as much as you?
 
No, you shouldn't need near as high a dose as I took. One 4oz Robo Max Strength should be plenty for an inexperienced user of your weight. In fact 12oz for a beginner of your size would probably be too intense.
 
12 ounces and you got that weak of a trip? Damn, man... even your weight should have allowed for a harder ride. My friend weighs 260 and 8 ounces gears him into high second/low third plateau...
 
The more experienced you get with dxm the easier it is to sorta control the way the trip goes. I'm about your weight, but find that I can achieve third pleatu's at around 760mg of dxm. Don't just take more dxm to try and get better visuals. The FAQ talks about getting the most out of trips and having a trip goal, which is something I find helpful.
 
Hey Dan0125.... So you went with just drinking down the straight cough mix... is it worth extracting, do you think? or is it ok drinking the stuff straight?
 
i don't have a problem with just downing it either. I only did once, and that's cuz i had to get the honey flavored shit, and its about twice as thick.
I personally don't think the extraction is worth the effort for myself, but some people apparently don't like drinking a bottle. I really don't think its anything hard though.
