I believe I am going to give this DXM thing a try, but have a few questions.

1. What's the best brand? I already know to make sure that DXM is the only active ingredient in the syrup and imagined it would be a toss up between Robotussin or Vicks. Would it make a difference?

2. How much should I take? I want somewhere between having a very tripping good time and hugging the toilet all night/emergency room. I'm 6 foot 7 and about 190 to 200 pounds. Give or take. I consider myself to have a pretty good tolerance with alcohol and just about anything if that makes a difference. I've never done any psychedelic drug of any sort, nor have I experienced anything resembling a psychedelic experience if that factors into anything as well.

3. HOW should I take it? Is this something I should sip slowly, straight chug, or perhaps, although sounding rather silly, even take in shots 20 minutes apart like someone said to avoid nausea?

4. There are people I reside with that I'd rather have not know what I'm doing. Will I be able to control myself? I've already planned a time where I don't have to interact with them or anything like that, and they should be asleep by the time I decide to do it. Also, although a rather silly question, how difficult a task will conquering my stairs be?
 
1. depends where you're from, different ones are available. Basically, you want one with the maximum DXM and NO OTHER ACTIVE INGREDIENTS. Do some googling to make sure

2. if you're a big bloke, you might have to take more... there's various dosage calculors online- Don't aim for anything higher than 2nd plateu for your first time, especially if you wanna avoid people noticing lol

3. don't eat anything before, especially greasy food. A bit of nausea's inevitable, just power through. I prefer to slam it out a shot glass, avoid it hitting your tongue, maybe get some toast or something dry to soak it up

4. dunno, just chill out in your room i guess

You will not be able to walk, talk, or function normally on DXM. Your eyes will probably be bugging out of your head. If you have to interact with anyone, chances are they will immediately recognize your inebriation.

At best, you will be able to walk up your stairs slowly and awkwardly... more likely you will have to crawl.

If you smoke cannabis, it is highly recommended. Many people would not consider taking DXM without the benefit of cannabis as well.

DXM is a poorly understood chemical, even by its' enthusiasts. It is not what most people are talking about when they say "psychedelic". While there are certainly strong parallels, it works in a different part of the brain and really is a whole different beast altogether - a 'dissociative' - which unties the 'astral body' from its anchor in your physical body and 3-dimensional reality.

Dissociatives, like DXM or ketamine, have much to communicate about shadows, darkness, and death. So if you find your experience to have a strange demonic flavor, just go with it - that is part of the nature of DXM.

I personally do not think DXM is a very good introduction to powerfully consciousness expanding "drugs". It is indeed very dark and can be difficult to work with, like figuring out how to fly a plane by yourself. But it can certainly be incredibly profound and spiritual, so I think you are safe to proceed with caution, humility, and respect.

Also be aware that DXM can be very addictive, so if your experience is particularly orgasmic, please try to wait a couple weeks before the next one... DXM has destroyed minds and it is not a pretty process...

Good luck to you sir :)
 
1. What's the best brand?

Delsym lasts the longest and can be the most enjoyable. Just don't expect to sleep ;)

2. How much should I take?

A first-time user like you should *always* start with a 1st plateau dose, in case you have an enzyme deficiency. Go find a DXM calculator somewhere, find the correct dose, and dip your feet in before going completely overboard. Also, if you are susceptible to the robo itch, you'll need to find out before taking a larger dose. High dose + enzyme deficiency + robo itch = really bad experience.

3. HOW should I take it?

If you are taking Delsym, you can do a cold water extraction, though it takes some time. This will reduce any nausea, but may not be needed for your first time, as DXM nausea tends to get worse the more times you do it.

4. There are people I reside with that I'd rather have not know what I'm doing. Will I be able to control myself?

At low doses (1st and 2nd plateaus) most people will have no idea that you're high. Don't expect to get away with this at higher doses.

Good luck and have fun!

I've taken traditional psychedelics, and I don't fully agree with this assessment. While it's true that DXM has a dark aspect, there is also a very bright side to it. DXM calms the turbulent waters of the mind, allowing for a good deal of light to shine through. If you fight the experience, it can get dark. Let it calm you, and you will experience some of the most elevated states of consciousness you can have on any drug.

There is the possibility of having a truly mind-expanding experience, as DXM can flip the switches in some of the darkest recesses of the mind. It's like plugging in more RAM. Whole banks of blank memory are opened up for new information :) Plus, it can allow one to foster new "simulation environments," even while sober.

Oh I understand the Light aspects of DXM, and I have a profound and respectful relationship with it... by 'dark' I don't mean 'negative', just... dark. Certain kinds of Darkness can be as beautiful and healing as Light...

I think that there is really no doubt, that on the spectrum of Thanatos/Eros, DXM resides entirely in the Thanatotic domains...

Expect to be acting half-retarded and not realizing it. Which means, if there does happen to be any confrontation, you're fucked. Your body will be numb and there'll be disorientation so the stairs might be a little trickier than usual. Oh yeah, and make sure you don't get in situations were you could lose stuff, since if you do you most likely will, as DXM shuts off your memory.

My friend just had a really bad robo-trip last night at only a 2nd plateau, less than he's taken before. He said it started off good, then out of nowhere he thought he was dead, got scared shitless, and lost all his marbles until he came down. His previous two trips were good. I've done it twice, and it wasn't scary, but it just felt "off" and uncomfortable, and was a worthless experience from both a hedonistic and a spiritual/therapeutic point of view.

I have done Ketamine several times and love it. I did DXM last weekend for the first time. I am 200lbs, bodybuilder, fast metabolism. I suggest the "Zicam cough max" spray bottles as your best bet for DXM. Just unscew the top and drink. Don't bitch about the price, you want almost 400mg of DXM in a small amount of liquid with nothing else that will make you sick, this is the best way to go. I drank 2 bottles at once on empty stomach, thats almost 800mg for a 200lb person, and according to the mg/kg chart I should have been at 2nd plateau?. All I felt was a little drunk, and it didn't last long at all, and I felt nothing else. No dissassociative state at all, and I know what a dissassociate state is. Everyone is different I guess. My next time is going to be 4 bottles, almost 1600mg. I can tell you the next day I just felt "out of it" and slow. It seems to have a long after effect of just hanging around in your body.
 
I dont mean to hijack, just cant be bothered to make a post about it. I just drank a 200ml bottle of robitussin with the 30 MG of DXM it says. I havnt eaten anything today, and ive got no tolerance to this drug at all, do you think it will work?

30mg per what? The only liquid I have is 10mg/5ml, for example.
 
Take a bottle and a half of delsym (grape or orange), Chug dont sip, wait a good hour or so stray away from people NOT on DXM, possibly find yourself a doubie to smoke once you start feeling the first wave. and i would suggest doing it outside somewhere instead of being locked in your room, with good music pink floyd? mgmt? whatever you fancy
 
Depending on your body weight and metabolism, 600mg should be enough for a solid second plateau. That's about as high as I've ever felt the desire to push DXM. For me, 500-600mg feels somewhat like being very drunk, but with a different (less awful, imo) bodyload and some minor dissociative aspects (sound flanging, freeze-frame/choppy vision and movement, etc.). 800-1000mg is where it really starts resembling ketamine from what I hear, again depending on weight and metabolism.

I always just took store brand robitussin knock-off gelcaps. It doesn't really matter what brand you use; just make sure that under 'Active Ingredients' the ONLY one listed is Dextromethorphan (aka DXM). If it has other active ingredients in it, they probably won't be good for you when you take 20+ times the indicated dose at once to get the desired DXM dose. Some common ingredients can kill you at those doses and it shouldn't be hard to find a brand with only DXM and no other active drugs. Other than that, pick whichever brand and form factor (liquid, gelcaps, etc) you prefer.
 
Ended up taking what the French Machine dude did. 177ml 6 oz of Vicks 44. Definitely not sober, bit of a headache, a little feeling of nausea, the music and visualizer on my xbox got pretty interesting, but nothing too noteworthy yet. And thanks alot for the advice everyone!
