This is my first trip report so please bear with me.
I have done DXM a couple of times at a dosage of around 180mg and just felt spacy. I also smoked up before and during so the effects weren't that strong.
-------------------------------------------------
10:45am- I dosed around 300mg (common dosage) and began to prepare my surroundings. Sure it was early, but I was taking a sick day and wanted to experience it, since all the times before seemed alright. I cleaned up my apartment and set up my music selection so I would be comfortable.
11:15- I could feel my eyes getting heavy and the body load coming on. I didn't think it would get too bad so I continued moving around and cleaning. The body load got to the point where I just didn't want to move anymore and concentrating was too difficult, so I just crashed and closed my eyes.
11:35am- The CEVs were mild. Mostly just shapes moving to the music. It was like I could control them and make them move around. I would just move my eyes around (closed) and the shapes would be there. There was also a kind of light grey snow background. Kind of like when you turn the tv to a channel that you don't have reception for. The difference was that the snow wasn't so dense and it was deep and 3D. The light grey was due in part to the sun light in the room. I was unable to make it completely dark.
11:50am- I was chilling and feeling the body load and the music when all of a sudden I felt this wave of energy flow through me from head to toe. It was like a cold sweat just swept over me. At that point I knew something was wrong. I stumbled to bathroom and tried to control myself. I knew started to throw up, but I felt so detached. I knew I was puking, but I couldn't do anything about it. My whole body had a cold sweat and it was just strange. Not wanting to throw up any more, I turned and layed half on the cold floor and on the carpeted entrance. I was telling my stomach that I could control it and proceeded to show my power by pressing it against the cold tile floor. This seemed to work but the contractions were just too strong. I spewed a little more on the carpet but here is the weird part. I was on my hands and knees looking at the floor and I just started to pat the beat of the song that was in the background and just as quick as the nausea kicked me, it left.
12:30pm- I was just thinking how strange it all was and how heavy the body load was. I wanted to lay down and enjoy the experience, but I just couldn't. Setting up camp in the hallway between my room and the livingroom seemed the best place to rest, since it was the darkest area of the apartment. I just lay there with my eyes mostly closed, observing the stronger CEVs. I imagined a girl and she was offering me something like a banana. I declined and she insisted. but I insisted that I didn't want it. She replied, "Eat it or I will KILL you." This made me open my eyes and look around.
What the hell was I thinking about that would make something threaten me like that? I don't know.
1:30pm- I just wanted it to end. My head was so heavy and pressured and my body had no energy. I just wanted to fall asleep and forget about the whole thing.
I fell asleep and stayed that way for about 2.5hrs. When I woke up, I could still feel the pressure, but it wasn't too bad. There was no depression or anything like that. I was getting sick anyway, so I felt like shit.
The only fun time I had was when I got up to check my email and the DXM was still in my system pretty strong. On my way there I just got this energy and started to dance all strange and weird. If I tried to dance like I normally would, i couldn't. I think the idea was that, since I was dissociated I couldn't control 100% so I just had to move around with the music. It felt good and I was actually really happy, but it only lasted a minute or so.
Why would I NOT recommend DXM to anyone?
I think it is just too heavy and uncontrollable. I don't see the enjoyment in feeling that way. Being dissociated, but not really, leaves a sense of consciousness without being able to fully act on your own. Does that make sense?
Prob not.
Scenerio: I want to jump. I know I can jump. Why don't I jump?<not jumping, but wanting>
Anyway, I was left with such a feeling of disgust after the whole experience, that I will not do anything that makes me feel even remotely like that.
Any arguments against my vague report? I would like to hear them. I know that this report didn't go over everything in the experience, but I am still sick and I don't think I have the capacity to tell everything that happened.
Thanks for reading. I enjoy reading all of yours.

good report. the CEV's are what really impressed me. i don't think i've ever recieved cev's on lower doses like the ones you were describing.
sicne dxm is one of my more favorite drugs, i naturally have the urge to defend it, but every person works differently.
i've always noticed the original body load, but for me it only seems to occur during the beginning, and after about an hour or two of just dealing with it, i've noticed it goes away, and i feel great. tons of energy, not so much a clear head, but it's definately a totally different perspective. some of my most introspective writings have come from dxm trips.
all in all, it was a good report, very well written. even if you didn't like the experience. :)
 
Well, I thought your report was clear. Thanks for posting your story and best of luck in the future!
 
Thanks for the report. I enjoyed reading it.
I'd reccomend that you shoot for a 1st plateau, as it's easially the most enjoyable if your not using DXM as a tool or interested in a serious trip. I wouldn't reccomend 300mg as a first timer doseage, more around 200mg-275mg if the 180mg doseages aren't doing it for you. Marijuana also to combat the nausia.
Being sick and taking drugs has an adverse effect as well. Do you plan to try it at a later date when your feeling 100%?
I enjoyed reading this, thanks for posting it :)

Ok so I'm on some DXM right now. I slugged down half a bottle of dayQuil(<------Love that Q) I have only done DXM twice but I understand these kinds of drugs e.g. acid dxm e. Not to say that they are in any way the same, but I know how to have a good time on em no matter what.
Check out my trip report for some more info :D
 
Doesn't DayQuil have APAP and other unsafe ingredients? Check the label out, you only want DXM to be the active ingredient, this can be found in Robotussin Maximum strength etc.
 
nice trip report. I must not be senestive to dxm since 630mg probably effected me less than you! I just layed in my bed most of the time. I did feel naeusa but didnt puke. it was hard to walk to the bathroom to take a leak though. my body felt weird and robot like.
 
Thank you for posting your report. Too bad it was not enjoyable.. I didn't get any of the bad effects you mentioned from 600mg of DXM.. but I got hardly anything worth doing it for.. Boring drug I think.
