I bought a 4 oz of Extra Str. Robotussin about 2 months ago, waiting for the right time to digest. I figured last night was the best time as any.

My roomie S and his girl A went to bed at around 1am. I wanted to do something since I was so bored so I grabbed the robo out of the medicine cabinet and took my first capful at 1:40am.

I took the robo by the capful, until it was all gone. It took me about 25 or so minutes to finish the whole thing. I chased each capful with apple juice.

After I finished I began feeling little effects...my sight was swirly and my motor skills (typing, finding the remote) were lacking.

T00:30 I went to my bedroom where I already had PVD's "Out There and Back" playing and a bottle of Aquafina waiting. I laid down and just felt tired. I have read posts where robo makes you tired and also makes the music enhanced. In my experience, robo did make me tired, but it made the music somewhat mellow...somewhat like a bedtime song playing. I wasn't getting into the music at all...it was putting me to sleep more than anything.

T00:45 I began seeing the true effects of DXM, or so I think. I went up to the bathroom to check my eyes. Getting to the bathroom was very unique. I couldn't walk straight, my eyes were going side to side, opening the door was a struggle, etc. As I came back, I fell onto my bed and I rolled with no effort from me. As I fell, it seemed like I weighed 300 lbs and the bed gave way as if I was falling into water.

T1:00 This feeling is like a drunk feeling. I didn't get much closed eye visuals like I have read in other trip reports. As I said earlier, walking was problematic and it made me tired. This continued on for another hour or so before I fell asleep. I slept for 13 hours!!!!!!!! I woke up a few times, but I just wanted to go back to bed. I woke up with a groggy head and that lasted for about 90 minutes.

Overall I have mixed emotions about DXM. I took this simply because I was curious and because I can't get anything else at the moment, which in itself sucks. Perhaps this would be a better with some pot or at a higher dose, but I am unsure.

Thanks for reading.
 
Your dose is fine. However, falling asleep after the first hour will not potentiate a good trip! It usually takes 3 to 4 hours to peak from DXM, so you missed, well, just about all of the effects. I'm amazed you could sleep through it!

And yes, adding weed to DXM is surprisingly excellent.
 
3-4 hours afterwards? What do you suggest I do in the mean time to avoid falling asleep?!

What can I expect, in your experiences, when I peak from DXM?

Thanks.
 
Well, you could take your DXM earlier. Its not like the stuff makes you sleep if you aren't already tired.

Effects vary based on personal sensitivity and dose, but you can expect the peak (and plateau) to be a exponentially better experience than the come-up.

For me, the first 2.5 or 3 hours are just waiting for the effects to get good.
