How damaging is low dose DXM usage?

Hey guys, I've been using DXM for about two months now and have a question. I've heard that it's usage can have quiet a toll on the brain but I assume that's with high doses. I generally buy two bottles of cough gels and pop about 32 at once (480mg) then the other 120mg an hour or so after it kicks in. I've never once taken enough to hallucinate because I hate hallucinating, and I never take enough to make me go all retarded. My dosage just gives me an intense body high/euphoria. My question is how damaging is DXM when used in low doses like 480mg?

lol @ 480mg (x2) being low dosage

I've taken DXM in strengths of up to 720mg weekly for several months and I have a 3.9 (college) GPA. I haven't noticed any changes in myself.

I don't take 480mg twice. I take 480mg ONCE, and then the rest of the 120mg 2 hours later.

I use it once a week.
 
Ah, still, that's a decent sized dosage. I'd consider 180mg-360mg low dosage. 600mg once a week won't kill you, only advise I could really offer is just make sure to drink plenty of water, eat right and sleep well.

When you say hallucinate do you mean open eye visuals or closed eye visuals? CEVs are probably my favorite aspect of DXM, I've never heard of OEVs from DXM.
 
Yeah, the last time I took DXM I took about 650mg, and while the body-load was almost unbearably horrible, the one good thing about the experience were the dream like CEV's which I could literally shape and form just using my mind. If it weren't for the horrible body load I get, which honestly makes me feel like I am dying and my heart is going to pull a death star, DXM would be pretty enjoyable for me. I'll stick to my ketamine though for now.

I use to do DXM more frequently back in high school, doses much like yours, and I don't really think it effected me very negatively. Just don't do it every day, and make sure you keep hydrated and properly nourished.
 
Alright, thanks. I've experienced VERY light CWEs. Like for a second with my eyes closed I would see a realistic abstract pattern, non moving, but it only happened once or twice. I do enjoy CWE's but I hate OEVs.

If I were to take the full 600mg's would it be a huge difference from the 480mg? Would I start having OEVs and not be able to control myself?
 
^600 would be a bit stronger than 480, but not a HUGE difference. I highly doubt it would be enough to cause to start having an uncontrolable experience, and probably no OEV's. I don't think I ever had any major OEV's from dxm, except insanely blurry vision.

*I just noticed, not that it matters but you were typing CWE. You mean CEV. cwe means cold water extraction, cev - closed eye visuals. No big deal though :-)

Yeah I know what CWE means, I was just baked as I was writing that. Got mixed up haha.
And I always get insanely blurry vision too, could that cause damage to the eyes?
 
I wouldn't consider your dose low, in fact I'd consider it rather high, but everyone is different. I am surprised that you don't experience CEV's from that dose, and am surprised you aren't effected more physically. It barely takes any for me to get good CEV's when I just tune out to music. I wouldn't use it once a week regularly, but at least you're not using it everyday. DXM loses its magic if done too often. As for any permanent damage I don't know, DXM can kind of screw people up when dosed continously, and they have found evidence of brain lesions caused by continuous dosing in mice. I'd cool it if I were you.
