DXM Itchinggg

[gtrain15]

So im gonna Robo-trip for the second time, and have taken the advice to take an anti-histamine before to help prevent the itch. The only problem is that i picked up some telfast that contains 120mg of fexofenadine hcl, and doesnt contain the other ingredient that i see everyone talking about. So my question is will the telfast work to stop the itch? or is it no good? also will taking the telfast inhibit my trip?

A further question, a little off topic, but i found that after a few hours of taking the dex that i vomited it all back up, so my question is essentially how do i avoid this? Note i had barely eaten all day.

Telfast is just a brand name for fexofenadine. Haven't had personal experience with this specific drug, but if it's anything like other 2nd gen antihistamines, it should deal with the itches and sickness.

You might not even get the itch, its a toss up. As far as puking, I drink a few cups of water and brush my teeth then take it easy cuz yeh, it can make you feel a bit sick,all that syrup. Gelcaps seem to not be as sickning so I think its the syrup not the DXM that upsets the stomach.

Any 2nd gen antihistamine should do a good job at reducing the itch from DMX or opiates without dirtying up the high with the anti-chonlingergenic effects you get from 1st gen ones.

thanks guys. ended up taking one telfast and that seemed to clear everything up. Fear and Loathing is a crazy trip on dex.

Fear and Loathing is a crazy trip when sober, on drugs it's just fucking insane.

I've taken a lot of this in the past. Why are you drinking cough syrup/taking pills? There are plenty of places you can source a pure powder of this, far cheaper and safer than OTC medication with a lot of additives! Never have I experienced itching on the pure powder, so perhaps it is one of the additives of the product you use?

As for avoiding the throwing up, I tend to take 15 or 20, 50mg bombs of the powder spaced about 20 minutes apart. Put some on your tongue and it froths so it's going to do the same in your stomach causing a ridiculous amount of air to build up and inevitably lead to vomiting! (Take no more than a total of 500mg unless you have a tolerance though, it's a good starting dose)

Yeh, I think the itching and the puking comes from something other than DXM. All that sryup.

I trip DXM quite a bit. every morning I take zrytec 10mg because I am always extremely itchy and get hives etc.
But, before every DXM trip I take 75mgs of diphenhydramine, gets rid of almost all the negative side effects and helps with nausea. The trip will be a tad less euphoric though, but it's honestly worth it.

Oh i didn't know people could itch on dxm! The puking is pretty much part of the trip for me, it doesn't reduce the high, but it might make newbies badtrip, just ask for the best anti-vomitive/nausea med at your local pharmacy dude. And try to eat a very small thing (two apples, etc..) 1 hour before your trip it's better to digest dxm with something else (you can also try to accelerate the digestion by eating something over (after) your dxm)

Dry crackers, toasted bread, some hot tea you will never drink again is always good to have while you're taking them..
If you're popping pills, and are about to vomit, stop, wait a minute, the nausea will still be there but you may not gag.
Throwing up isn't that bad if you can keep it in, the longer the better. Before you know it, puking your brains out actually feels pretty good. It's like heroin in that sense (not if you choke on your own vomit.) Just because it feels good doesn't mean I want it to happen though.. lol
Drinking iced water and green tea a lot the days after is a good idea to help metabolize it faster.
If you take pills and don't have syrup\powder, and take awhile like I do now.. About 1-3 crackers very slowly in between taking pills\a few bits of toasts is great to help absorb it. If you vomit, you most likely won't vomit up any DXM; probably just dry heave.
It's also good to have some dry crackers and toast and water next to you during trips in case you get hungry.. Hot beverages on and off are definitely comforting during trips. (Not high dose peaking obviously, I'd rather just get dissociated\meditate\whatever.)
I would never use DXM as a party drug, seems pointless, I think that's how DXM gets a bad rap from other rec. drug users and the media.
If you talk about DXM, make sure you say DXM and not cough syrup, so that way you don't sound like you're a 13 year old walmart thief who likes to get fucked up after his Mom tucks him to bed.
It's best to not eat, but if you get low blood sugar feeling, have it next to you too if you have high doses so you don't have to walk around.
