it was about 1am and i was feelin pretty down about various things so i decided to take some of my DXM powder and go to bed. i dont have a scale so i just decided to do half a teaspoon as some of you may know from my thread in DB.

Well i had a very small glass of apple juice and a pint glass of apple juice, i put the dxm in the small glass and downed it, i didnt mix it in, i just dropped it on the top and then downed to pint of apple juice, this got rid of any bad taste that comes with DXM and i experienced no nausea whatsoever.

Within 20 minutes i was feeling heavily sedated so i decided to leave my computer and turn everything off and go upstairs to bed, i managed to get upstairs fine i was just walking and feeling like i was real drunk, well i got to my room and decided to play some music and go to bed, i dont know if you would have all heard of them, but i put MUSE on.

It must have been about 45 minutes since i took the DXM and i was virtually stuck to my bed if i wanted to get up i wouldnt be able to. the next hour and a half were amazing, my eyes were also almost locked shut too and it felt as though i was being controlled by the music, as the songs changed my feelings changed, i cant describe it very well but if i hadnt had the music on the trip would have been a bad one, the music helped me have my best DXM trip ever.

At 3:30 i sent a txt to my friend, my phone seemed to be 10times bigger than it should have been which was funny, i dont know how i managed to send the message, it took me a long time i kno that, well apparently it said that i kno it sounds weird but i like feeling temporarily insane because it gets rid of all my daily problems for a while, this is true i guess, and from then until when i had to be up for work at 7am it was just a less intense version of that great hour and a half,

At somepoints it felt as though i was floating while i was sleeping, i dont think that DXM can be measured using shulgins scale but if it can be then this was definitely a ++++ occasion and i can see myself attempting to repeat the experience again at some time.

I must say though, that i was very lucky to just eyeball a random amount and for it to turn out being a good trip, not a recommended strategy, i only did it because i had had a real bad day and just wanted to escape in any way that i could and i also didnt really care much about the consequences at that point in time

I'm glad that turned out well for you =)

I agree, its difficult to measure DXM intensity via the Shulgin scale. I suppose that's why many people consider there to be 5 different plateaus:

1st plateau: antidepressant, mild stimulant, smart drug

2nd plateau: antidepressant, mild stimulant, "drunk" feeling, some altered perception and dissociation

3rd plateau: antidepressant, dissociative/psychedelic, visuals, potential for out of body experiences

4th plateau: in another world

5th plateau: an elusive state, described by few as constantly moving "sideways" through the plateaus, not up and down, and can only be acheived by lots of redosing and dangerous doses
 
^^ I've never had 5th plateau and in fact 3rd seemed about as high as I would want to go, but I do find "sideways" to be a big theme of DXM. Everything seems to float from right to left, both visually and, somehow, mentally. I wonder if it affects receptors in left/right brain hemispheres asymmetrically...?
 
When i went through my DXM phase all I did was listen to music and talk with the people I did it with. Music is awesome, you can feel it, feel the beat, feel the emotions.
When you feel sick and like you can't move jsut put on some headphones and get comfy until the feeling passes. Do it with someone else and have a great conversation. If you feel really fucked up try robo-walking it feels great!
Do the robot!!

Have fun, be safe, use in moderation
 
i don't think that i've ever measured my dex "correctly". I just do this action-

get a mouth full of water and tilt my head back

stick a knife into the powder and get about "yaeh much"

tip the knife into my mouth and swallow when the dex is in the water

chase it with some more water

cringe because it still tastes nasty, but only for 4 or 5 seconds


then do it again about an hour later when the first good effects start to show, because if you take the whole shebang all at once, you get sick about 45 minutes in.
 
try robitussin liqui gels if you hate syrup and can't get a hold of/don't want to make powder.

Don't take too many they are surprisingly strong. A whole bottle (20 pills) gave me one of the hardest robo trips I ever had. Its pure DXM, but the gel coating might irritate your stomach. Always be careful with DXM.
Happy puking and/or lots of fun. :)
 
Thanks for the report, I added some paragraphs to make it easier for people to read. :)

It sounds like you had an intense experience, but I find people are using the Shulgin scale pretty lightly these days. A ++++ experiences are very, very rare, and most trippers might not even have one in their tripping career, and it coulkd never ever be recreated either.
 
The title made me dive into this. DXM can really make you get sucked into music like you never thought you could. Worst/best example of that was when I did 1400mg and literally felt like Gorillaz was being blasted out of the center of my mind and I could do nothing about it besides enjoy. I also thought if I took my headphones off the world would end, just to give you an example of how out of the loop I was.
