Ok, so I tried DXM for the first time a few days ago. I chugged a 4oz. bottle of Wal-tussin cough syrup. It had 354mg of DXM HBr and I weigh about 140 pounds or 63.64kg which comes out to 5.56mg/kg. This would supposedly put me well into the second plateau. I waited and waited and waited, and nothing really happened. Just a little lightheadedness and hazy vision. So I thought wtf but then I realised I had eaten right before I took the dxm so I thought that might have something to do with me not feeling any real effects.
So I thought id give it another try, this time on a completely empty stomach. I waited 48 hours before I redosed and took the same cough syrup mixture in the same amount. To my surprise, nothing happened yet again but the lightheadedness that I felt the first time. I thought maybe I hadn't taken enough but that didnt seem the case. I waited about 2.5 hrs and then decided to go to the 7/11 (my only option at 3am) down the street since I had no more dxm at home. They only had vicks nyquil which also contains acetaminophen and doxylamine succinate which I was hesitant about taking because of the liver problems high doses of acetaminophen can cause. I decided to buy the cough gels and take half to see if this would boost things along. So at T + 3:00 I ingested another 90mg for a total of 444mg. Now for my weight this should be upper 2nd/low 3rd plateau. I waited another couple hours, nothing happened, and fell asleep.
The next morning, I felt fine, a little dizzy still, but pretty normal. During the experiences, I had NO CEVs, dissociation, euphoria, robo-walk, none of the effects that you would anticipate. Now I know DXM metabolises extra slowly in a small percentage of individuals and I read that it metabolises faster in a smaller percentage of individuals. Could I be one of those people? Am I not taking enough? I dont want to chug three bottles and then be on some kind of PCP-like shit. Plus I really don't want to waste my time and money anymore.
As an aside, I started to think about my other drug experiences and remembered that I hadn't had spectacular results in certain substances. I've taken E a few times and never felt anything really - the first few times I attributed it to the pills being bunk especially cause my friends didnt feel it either. But I took a pill recently and didn't feel effects while two of my friends were loving it. Also, I've had similar experiences with cocaine which I always attributed to it being low-quality, even though my friends said they felt alot more than I was feeling. Is it possible that my body metabolises certain substances alot faster than usual? Is it the dosage (I'm always cautious about not taking too much)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
