On August 5th a friend and I had split a bottle (5fl.oz) of Delsym 12 hour release. We were having a wonderful trip. Listening to some Led Zeppelin, and just discovering new realms inside of our minds. About an hour and a half later (after taking the Delsym) my friend's dealer had called, and informed my friend that he had just got some shrooms...Of course, my friend and I (not in our best minds) decided to go walk to get the eighth of shrooms. We were still tripping balls on the Delsym, so the 1 hour walk didn't bother us much. When we got to the dealers, we had decided to split, and eat the eighth of shrooms there...so we didn't have them on us while walking back to my friend's place....I was already fucked up on the Delsym, but I stupidly ate the shrooms. All was fine, we thanked the dealer, and went on our way back to my friend's house. Then about 10 minutes later, I started to feel the shrooms. (Keep in mind, I am 5' 11" and 107lbs. so drugs hit me pretty fast) It felt pretty amazing...But I was also very frightened (I had done shrooms before, and I have done dxm before...I've just never mixed them) because I had never felt such an insane trip before...I felt literally mind fucked. So my friend had called one of his buddies to come pick us up. We sat down and waited at a Long John Silver's for about 5 minutes (it felt like an hour to us) and his buddy arrived, and gave us a ride back to my friend's place. Once we got back, we layed down on my friend's bed in the darkness, and turned on some Pink Floyd. The visuals were AMAZING, I saw sail boats drifting off into the sunset, in a collage of psychedelic, kalaidescope patterns that swayed with the rythm of the music. (We were laying there for hours, just sinking into our own minds, forgetting that we even exsisted. It was truely beautiful.) But then all of a sudden, the shrooms peaked, and I guess that also caused the DXM to peak...My heart started pounding, I mean POUNDING. I was very disorriented. I knew my heart was beating fast, too fast. But I was tripping too hard to think logically...I started clutching my rosary like it was the last thing I was ever going to hold. and I just laid there until the violent pounding of my heart subsided. After the first day, the shrooms wore off (Thank god) but I couldn't sleep, and was still very anxious, and on edge from the dxm...I actually went to the ER on the third day, because I was frightened that I still felt the DXM, and that I couldn't sleep...All they did was tell me to drink fluids, and eat more than regular. They had also given me an Ativan (Only one, and at the hospital...they didn't want to send me home with anything) to help me relax...which didn't help at all. I went sleepless until the 5th night. I've been sleeping good since...But I am still not back to normal yet. It's been 15 days, and I still see trails, and all these moving speckles. I am starting to think this is permanent...I am so very worried guys. I've forgotten how normal life feels...My pupils are still dialated. I'm not sure what to do about this. I'm seeing a doctor in the start of next week. Wish me luck. If I am a DXM casualty...then it is my own fault. I brought this on myself, and I hope that none of you make this same mistake. It may seem fun to have a permanent trip...But really it makes you a depressed recluse. Not fun... :/ .

First of all you are in the right place. Welcome to Bluelight. Great thorough. Gives me-and all who read it a very precise inside look into your current struggle. We can PM more about this-I am a Mod so you can PM me even though you are a Greenlighter.
What I want you to KNOW 1st is that what you are feeling is RESIDUAL effects to the drugs-yes,even 3 days later. I am not a fan of DMX-just never caught my fancy-but I started using at 12 and am about to turn 35 on Sept. 11th. Bluelight is going to provide you with support,information and the most powerful knowledge of HARM REDUCTION. knowing your height and weight is a smart thing to have tattooed in your brain-in case of emergency,but more for your own journey into utilizing Bluelight-ESPECIALLY IT'S SEARCH ENGINE-to put in the time and really know what you are about to get into-the physical/psychological/-even spiritual effect it will inexorably have on you as well as the ones that have low percentile side effects. If I had Bl when I first started using-hell if I knew it was out there w/ in the past decade,the same human mistakes we all make concerning drugs may have gone in a much worse direction. I have my shit,but I am alive.
So are you....please take your Dr's advice. eat, rest,take care of yourself,STAY POSITIVE and try to block out any negative energy from others or the sneaky kind that tries to weasel it's way back into your personal,positive space and state of being.
Take lots of vitamin C,echanecia(sp) and vitaminE-AS DIRECTED. Alot of ppl don't know that too much of certain vitamins are not only detrimental,but deadly. Vit C is one that is friendly. Don't go overboard but taking a hearty,frequent dose will just help purge your body of the toxins that are still inside you,keep you hydrated and it's just good for you. if you can't sleep-herbal teas,warm milk-melatonin(found w/ th vitamins,it's what the body naturally secrets when the sun goes down...it's related to circadian rhythms-a whole other topic,science and ridonkulously long reply like this one.
This is a lot to take in especially in your state-just follow your Dr's orders-as well as any reiterated or added by Dr. skillz. Don't freak...you're fine. you just need to let your body lead the way. listen to it-not your paranoia or fear. I'm off and on-MOSTLY 24/7-so PM me anytime. If I don't reply immediately-I will. just having some medical problems of my own right now-but that doesn't stop my passion in life right now-Helping People Through Bluelight.
Hope to hear more from you soon and see you around the forums.
MUCH peace and love..................................................skillz

Hi and welcome to BL!
I am not guna write out a long response because I think skillz covered the basics, but give it some more time, and you'll return to normal. DXM can leave you pretty raw after high-dose use for quite some time, but you just gotta keep ya head up like my man 2pac says, and stay healthy. After I quit doing DXM on a daily and weekly basis, it took me about three months before my thinking returned to normal and I started to conceptualize things in words again, instead of bizarre mental pictures. But the point is that things do go back to normal, and you have to keep that in mind. It might seem like you're not getting better, but you are, just too slowly to really make note of it on a day by day basis. Take your vitamins, exercise daily, and for crissakes stay away from any psychedelics, and you should start to feel okay within a couple weeks more.

Hey...Dacia-tried to send you a PM(private message) but you have the function blocked in your setting menu-rest assured,Only Mods and up the staff ladder can contact you via PM since you are a Greenlighter. If you wish to change this,and I suggest you do-@least For staff like MODS-simply click the settings link at the top right of any page. scroll down until you see a link to "General Settings". simply select to receive PMs from staff,like Mods(only if you want to-it is your decision)
THEN...most important of all,scroll down until you see the save changes or save settings button(dnt remember which one it says but you will recognize it). This will save ALL changes to your account in all levels-anytime you change a setting,you must press the save button at the bottom of the page or your changes will be lost and default setting will be restored. Just a quick-FYI. it isn't a personal PM or anything,just a quick post script I felt compelled to send you. if you give me your permission to resend(if you change the settings) then I will happily. Or w/ your ok,I can post it here. take your time. get yourself well and try and let all this info incubate while you recover from a heavy trip...we have all been there. No shame.
keep your chin up an TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!!
Much peace and love..................................................skillz

I resent the PM to you...let's see if this works...allowing you to reply. I'll make it know to my higher ups and get this fixed ASAP. Glad you responded. You are going to be just fine...you are in the right place!
MUCH peace and love.....................skillz
EDIT:
My PM won't go through to you. It may have something to do with you joining today. I am not aware of a time limit on Mods sending PMs-or you to them. That has always been a plus for new members. I am forwarding this problem up the ladder. I you post here and I don't reply as quickly as I am now is bc something Mod related prob came up. no matter what I'll be back in touch,ASAP. I'm from the carolinas so we are at least close to the same time zone....seems trite but it can play a big factor in when responses can,but WILL be answered. Keep on doing what you are doing and know that no matter how long this fog may last-This too Shall Pass.
Glad to have you with us!!!Last edited:

800mg dxm left me bad for a couple of months,

^ thats quite a dose man.
I recall taking around 300mg and having an out of body experience so intense, I decided not to take the stuff ever again. It wasn't bad but I was afraid of getting sick or it getting out of hand in general. I was completely out of this world for 20 minutes of which I recall almost nothing, certainly would've gotten in trouble if my grandmother was awake. That was around a year ago.Aha yeah, I've had to confess the ordeal to my mother, and her husband...Pretty awkward situation. But yeah, I'm never touching Dextromethorphan again...Freaky shit. It's given me horrible anxiety, and I had some severe anxiety to begin with. Not much fun. I believe it's going to take a few months for it to clear out. 22 days, and the effects are still goin' strong. I've done more Dxm than this before (cordicidon) and it didn't last but only a few days. I'm sure the mix of drugs enlongated the effects..
