So we bought two small delsym time released DXM cough syrup from the university store. I have tripped on these last year but not too bad. They taste a bit like orange juice but more syrupey. Me and my friend start by drinking them around 7:30 PM

by 9:00 we started feeling some effects but not sure how to explain them. Just feeling a weird feeling in our bodies. We started on a 20 minute walk to the weed man's house to get some weed for my buddy. It was lightly raining and in the Northern USA its a bit cold but I didn't notice. I felt my muscle tightening up a little and something becomming a bit distorted but i wasn't worried.

9:15 we arrived at the guys house and we come in. Things now started to get blurry. My vision was getting worse and it was harder for me to see people's eyes. Like I was in a dream sort of. We passed around 3 blunts in the next 30 minutes or so and this is when I noticed a fucked up feeling.

I had to stand up and lay down because as I was sitting, I was noticing my heart beat getting faster and faster like it was a techno breakbeat. My breathing got so slow I had to force myself to breathe. I thought I was dying, but for some reason made piece with my death. I thought I would be ok dying in this sort of way. Aural distortions made it hard to talk and listen to people. Flanging occured way too much and fast. I was freaked out and started seeing closed eye visuals. The guy's dog was standing on my leg and i am not sure if it was humping me or not, i didn't care. I really just wanted the dxm to leave my system as soon as possible.

The guy felt uncomfortable with the stuff that i was describing to them. I was seeing hula hoops flying through the window and the walls were breathing in and out it was insane. He told my friend to take me out of here so i dont get in trouble at their house. We went back out in the rain and walked back to my dorm room.

On the way there, a girl came up and grabbed my hand and say "hey, im natalie. who are you?" As soon as I looked at her and blinked she disappeared. I asked my friends if they saw her and they laughed hysterically. Anyways we got back to the dorm just fine and past the CSO's just fine. My dorm floor is close so we were all hanging out in a room so I went in chilled across the hall. This one guy was steering my trip into a bad place so i told him to shut the fuck up and be nice. He started asking me what i saw and this is what he said I was saying...

"Dude im in a valcano, now im in a pyramid fighting fighting mummies, now im on sports center, DADA DA DADA DA, update, the university of Mega man company has won"

So I was going on with that stuff for a while until my roomates gf left so I went to go lay down and try to sleep it off. Sleeping it off was hard as DXM is a deliriant/amphetamine so that was impossible. Watching tv was extremely difficult because the TV was bouncing around the room and the screen was so blurry it looked like the channel wasn't coming in. We watched Layer Cake, my favorite movie, and I tried watching it with one eye but it didn't help so i just closed my eyes and tripped.

Shapes just morphed around and changed. I kept seeing shadow people who were saying things but I couldn't hear any words, just their mouths moving. I felt sick so I kept getting up and walking to the bathroom to take a shit, but it wasn't working. In the bathroom stalls I was taken to a green planet like kashyk from star wars. Trees appeared and then somebody came in. The shows leaked and it sounded like they had a familiar rhythm to it. Like it was a beat in a song. Somebody walked in when I was washing my hands so I came back to Wisconsin, but still trippin balls.

A guy from my dorm came in. This guy smokes so i was blunt with him. "Dude, I am so fucked up.. trippin balls man" He started to laugh and was like seriously. I just stared at him as his face turned green and yellow like braveheart sort of. The guy said a bunch of stuff but I wasn't listening. He said bye and my trip back to normal. The pattern of splashing from the showers came back and my vision was pretty much just a blurry splot of colors.

I decided that I wanted to go to sleep and that was that. I got back and to my amazement, my roomate was gone. Apparently he walked past me in the hallway to go to the bathroom but I didn't even notice him, oh well. I layed down the the green light from the smoke detector started moving around the room. This was insane because it was like I was at a rave watching a laser. I eventually fell asleep for a while and it weared off 8 hours after the start. Thank god.

All of this stuff amazed me and scared me. I have never tripped like that. I am not sure if I will try it again, not this year for sure. Delsym is a brand nobody talks about, but its pure dxm and a crazy time. My buddy said his trip was ok but not too intense. Anyways, thanks for reading.
 
sucks that you freaked out man. DXM is not for everyone, lots of people really hate the way it feels. how many milligrams did you take btw? sounds like you took a pretty major dose. have you done other hallucinogenic drugs before?
 
I think it was near 1,000 milligrams maybe a little shorter or longer. Ive taken this big of a dose once but i never had anything like I had there. I like DXM but this was just scary cuz I wasn't expecting this. And yes, my first big psychadelic experience.
 
1,000mg is a huge dose IMO. i've taken DXM dozens of times, and i don't see any point in taking more than 500mg personally. i find it most fun in the 300mg range. i always use to non time released Hbr salt.

also, I don't think that DXM is a good example of what psychedelia is. don't let this experience turn you off of much better hallucinogens if you're interested in them. wait till you try LSD or MDMA, those are sooo much better (they're nothing like DXM). likely if you try those you won't bother with DXM again (i still like it occasionally though).
 
oh yeah, and did you smoke weed with the DXM on your previous trips? i find that smoking while high on DXM seems to almost double the effects. it's a powerful synergy.
 
Yeah I smoked once before on a crazy trip once, but nowhere this crazy. I guess I was just intolerable maybe. I don't know what else it might be otherwise i ate a normal amount.
 
You either had the 5oz or the 3oz of Delsym, the 3oz has about 500mg of time released delsym which is about 200-250mg of normal DXM, if you had the 5oz thats about 900mg of time released DXM, which is about 400-450mg of normal DXM. I was addicted to Delsym when I went to high school because it was my crutch. I used to sit in class all day long and just zone, periodically taking a trip to the bathroom to redose.
 
Delsym is just too crazy since it releases over time. It's like an oxycontin with no way to rinse off the coating.

Really Delsym is only worth it when you're withdrawing from heroin and decide "Hey, I just don't care about my social standing anymore. I'm going to take a dissociative and creep my friends out for the next day."
 
^lol pallidamors, you got it exactly right.

OP, if you're combining DXM with weed, you should take a much lower dose of both. They seem to multiply each other, not just add to each other.
 
the best thing about delsym is that the polistyrex can easily be separated from the syrup using only water.
it's the easiest of the syrup teks (see here).
my favorite form of dxm.

i take it that the trip is better through that tek. What does it do?
 
it won't really change the the nature of the trip, it's just easier on your body because you're getting rid of all the syrup. it might take care of that stomach cramping you mention.

if you want to dissolve some of the polistyrex ahead of time so that it kicks in faster, i've heard of soaking it in coke for an hour (or similar acidic beverage) but then you'd have to pass it across your tongue. better to just gelcap the powder and wait, imo.
 
I think that taking the polistirex changes the effects of the trip considerably. In a normal individual, the DXM trip is caused somewhat by DXM, but moreso because of it's metabolite, Dextrorphan (DXO). When you take DXM normally, it's almost entirely converted to (DXO), but when taken with time spaced apart (or in a polistirex form), less of the DXM is converted into DXO so you get more effect from the DXM and less from the DXO.

DXM is responsible for the psychomimetic effects, is a potent sigma ligand, and is not very disassociating.
DXO is responsible for the disassociation/stoning effects.

I actually lack the liver enzyme that converts DXM -> DXO so I get a very bizarre (and often extremely physically uncomfortable) trip from getting straight DXM.
 
Delysm is so much different than regular robitussin.
due to the plistrex, time release.

i took about a gram of DXM polistrex and when i woke up, i was still tripping.
it was pretty weird.
Delysm pretty much feels like a high 2nd plateau trip, i never reached 3rd on delysm, but i did on cough gels.

Weird stuff...but interesting!
 
Not trying to thread bump but I felt I'd add.

I have been doing Delsym a few months now every week or two. It is a real interesting stuff.

I think the best way to do Delsym is take the 5oz (or 3oz depending on weight I guess) and then tack on some DXM Hbr, in whatever form you like.

See if you slam down lots of Delsym, you get that high for 12 hours. Instead, you should just take a regular full thing of it, and mix in some HBr, and you have a great trip for 6 hours, and a calm, gentle come down trip for the next 6.

I love it. I'll go upper 2nd plateau or even low 3rd, and then after 6 hours Im basically in low 2nd and I relax it out. I weigh 97kg, so a bottle of Delsym puts me at about 4.5mg/kg for 12 hours.

Polistirex does NOT give you 888mg gradually. It is really more like 444 now and 444 after about 5-6 hours. Thats how it was designed.

Hey delsymfan, I actually got a question for you. I've never done the Delsym, but may try it tomorrow. From what I've read, it seems to be a different trip than regular HBr...not because of the time-release, but from what I've read it has a paranoia-effect moreso than regular HBr? Have you experienced any negatives from the Delsym versus regular HBr? And if so, could you please elaborate? Or could you explain any differences between the buzzes (other than the time-release)? Thanks.
 
Yes delsymfan, I would also like to hear of some of the subjective differences between Delsym and other preparations. I would never take anything besides DXM Hbr or powder that I have extracted, but I'm still curious.

Don't you find it dirty or raw or compared to pure DXM? That's mainly why I don't take syrup or gels (besides the nasty sugar shit). The trip is just waaay more twisted (not in a good way), gritty, unclean, etc.

I mean, understand that the point of DXM is Darkness, but I'd rather experience that darkness in space (powder) than in the gutter (OTC preps).

Thats crazy! At this much, theres a third and possibly even fourth platueau trip.
The perfect dosage is aroound 250 mg
