Misc First time DXM trip?

[jewphin434]

So i have a 4 oz bottle of Robitussin in front of me and im wondering what a good first dose is. I have read about the plateaus. i have no interest in reaching the 3rd or 4th...or really the second. I've read about the enzyme deficiency as well. i poured 80ml (the bottle has 118ml in total) into a lowballer glass and am just kind of staring at it wondering whether or not it will be too much or not enough. 5' 11" at 173lbs. I might sound stupid but how can i convert 80ml to mg everyone uses....and why do they use mg instead of ml? and is this a drug where i can say "hmmm. this isnt doing enough" like 2-3 hours into the trip and decide to take more for a more desired effect? please help :D thanks.

What kind of Robitussin do you have? If it is syrup hopefully it is Robitussin Dry Cough Forte, also known as Robitussin DX. The only active ingredient in that syrup is Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide and it does not contain alcohol. If you have a syrup with any other active ingredients, throw it out or use it for coughs only. Any other active ingredient in high doses, (including alcohol, it will be in the inactive ingredients) will make you very sick. Mixing alcohol with DXM in higher doses will most likely make your trip very unpleasant. If your not interested in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th plateau than don't take DXM. If you just want to get a buzzed feeling, go drink a beer. I'm assuming you are of age, and not a teenage looking to get "wasted". A good first plateau dose is 200mg to 250mg. In Robitussin Dry Cough Forte, there is 30mg of DXM HBr per 10 milliliters. To find the amount of DXM in your dosage, multiply the amount of milligrams times the amount of milliliters in your dose. Example: 30mg per 10 milliliters times 20, (20 because there is 200 milliliters in the bottle, 20 times 10 = 200) and 30 x 20 = 600mg of DXM HBr. It may be complicated, but that is how you figure out how much DXM HBr is in your dose. In 80 milliliters of Robitussin DX, there is 240mg of DXM. That is perfect for your 1st plateau dose. Lastly yes, this is a drug where you can go "I didn't take enough, f***!". I seriously recommend going to 2nd plateau if you want to be sure you have taken enough. It is still relatively safe, and you will not be in a full state of dissociation. Happy tripping! Let me know what you decide to do and how it goes.

I took Robitussin long-acting cough (it was the only thing in the entire freaking place with JUST dxm in the active ingridients). Did i mess up with my choice in the first place haha i took the 80ml and am feeling it pretty well right now. It's not what i expected. the dizziness is the only thing i dont like. I have about 38-40ml (sorry i can't do math right now xD) left in the bottle and I'm considering taking it. I'm about an hour into my trip. will the rest of whats left intensify the dizziness or is that something ill just have to find out for myself? And i meant i didnt want to get to the higher plateaus on my first time for obvious reasons hahaha Also, im sorry for my terrible grammar, my left hand is in a cast and i cant use my thumb

My apologies, I thought you said you would never be interested in going higher than the 1st plateau. If you feel completely comfortable where you are right now, I would take the 40 milliliters now (120mg) because it will intensify your high and possibly lift you to the 3rd plateau (a very weak 3rd plateau high) if not it will just make your trip more intense and last longer. That dose if you save it for another time will be useless, so I suggest you take it now. (Only if you feel completely comfortable where you are) Also what is your setting? Your setting can determine whether a dissociative trip goes well especially when you start moving into 3rd plateau. Also, I advise you listen to calm music that you like, it will induce euphoria. As for your choice of cough syrup you picked well, just try to find one without alcohol next time, but it won't bring any harm. Happy tripping!

Setting is just my room. Lights are off. Its almost conpletely dark in huuur. I've been laying in bed for the majority of the trip. I got up to take the rest of the syrup and that was it. It's been about an hour and ten minutes since I took the rest and I don't really feel anything. More sober if anything. I've been listening to calm music the entire time. I discovered the euphoria linked with music quickly. I'm just waiting for the little bit I took to kick in (ifat all). I feel like it was a decent amount. I've been on my phone a lot too. Could that negate the effects?

Sometimes, it takes longer to feel the effects with follow up doses. While I don't think it will negate the effects, it will certainly dull them. "Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream...", to quote John Lennon. Keeping it completely dark would be good, use headphones for music if possible. Disconnect from social reality. The main goal with dissociatives is to disconnect from reality. Use sensory deprivation if possible (keep the music on though) and close your eyes and just relax. That is my advice. I would suggest Pink Floyd, psychedelic Beatles, or whatever your into. I love calm music while on DXM.
