First Post - Benadryl/DXM Question

[Colorado]

So this is my first post and im just an average do any drug type of drug addict. Like to stick to pills and weed but when the money is low...

So my roomate is even more of a fiend than me so we usually do triple C's once a week. After throwing up blood on triple C's i decided it was time to try a different otc high. I knew about benadryl but never really did it enough to get real messed up on it. I stole a 24 box and me and my roomate split it between us 12 each. I took 2 at a time for 10 minutes till i ate then ate the last 4 five minutes later. I stayed up for an hour after that fighting sleep but wasnt really "Tripping" I decided to lie down at like 2 because it wasnt working. Now take it this is 2AM. So my entire trip pretty much involves me in my bed and as lame as that sounds it wasnt.

I would wake up at random times just unable to move and feeling a dead electric pulse through my body like i was getting freaking microwaved or something. After waking up in a total state of confusion 2 or 3 more times i got up and went to the restroom. The second i landed in the floor i knew walking would suck. There were fucking stars flying around in my way and not to mention the floor tiles kept shaking and shit.

Anyway it wasnt a bad trip but from what i read people have had way more intense. My question for next time would be how much should i take that would be safe and get me tripping? Also any advice on how to make it better or other OTC drugs. For now its 420 ill go smoke.

Please do not use coricidin to get high, the combination of DXM + CPM is far more toxic than either drug by itself, and can lead to a variety of short and long term problems including death. We also have a thread on the subject, though it's not exactly in depth. Adding in diphenhydramine (another CYP2D6 substrate) is a bad idea.

Diphenhydramine, or any other anticholinergic, by themselves are not prone to producing recreational experiences, and inducing delirium makes you a danger to yourself and others (in other words the one kind of "trip" that you need a sober sitter for). Even subdeliriant doses aren't enjoyable, but if you're desperate for a head change and have nothing else on hand they can work fine. Check the deliriants section of the PD index for more info.

My question for next time would be how much should i take that would be safe and get me tripping?

Some people combine DXM only products with DPH, but generally speaking it's probably not the best/funnest idea. For intensity you want to:

• Go to our Big & Dandy DXM thread and do some more reading about the drug, read the William White FAQ linked therein if nothing else.
• Take a product with DXM as its only active ingredient
• Take more DXM, you should only have ingested 360mg with your described experience, this is a minimum recreational dose for many. Try 600mg next time.
• Cannabis has great synergy with DXM, and mitigates negative side effects such as nausea.
• Eat some grapefruit or grapefruit juice at least a few hours before your DXM, to inhibit your CYP3A4 enzyme and cause more to be metabolized into DXO (the metabolite that is responsible for the vast majority of NMDA antagonism/desirable effects).
• No more than 50mg benadryl, it can help with vertigo and puritis.
