Is DXM not for everyone?

I tried taking 120mg of DXM at work today in the form or Robitussin dry cough. It was hell. I weight 80kg so 120mg is exactly 1.5mg/kg and just wanted to feel some mild euphoria to make work a bit more fun.
I'm guessing trying a new drug for the first time at work is a bit stupid but it was a small dose and I thought I could handle it.
For the first hour, there was nothing. Then, waves of nausea would wash over me every 10 minutes or so but quickly fade. I kept thinking I was going to faint. I also got gut crunching gas -which I couldn't hold in- every 10minutes or so as well (and I was at the till, I had to keep looking around angrily pretending the smell was a customer standing at the till behind me so hide it from whomever I was serving LOL). So yea... Although I guess the gas could have been part of the mild withdrawal from codeine and such I'm feeling.

Is such a feeling normal? Or is it all the nastly sorbitol and glycerol present in the medicine the cause?
I even tried listening to music but just felt deadened and couldn't even focus on it, no euphoria or anything.
I managed to salvage the situation after work by popping 180mg of dihydrocodeine which was much nicer than normal (I'm guessing due to it's potentiation of opiates?).
 
Most people don't like it. I don't enjoy first plateau trips, they make me uncomfortable.
 
Yeah I don't believe it's for everyone. Doesn't sound like a good time to me. Your right, trying a new drug at work is probably not the best idea.Gut wrenching gas is still better than explosie diarreha, could of been worse IMO
 
I've never particularly enjoyed DXM. I find it hard to get any euphoria or enjoyment from it at all, and instead I just feel horribly spaced out. I sometimes get the waves of nausea too, though I've never had the uncontrollable gas thankfully. It's probably not the best drug to be doing at work! :\
 
DXM doesn't seem like the kind of drug that would be fun to do when you are out and about. I only take it at home when i can lay in my bed for the entire come up. The come up is horrific but I find that the trip it produces is worth it if I don't do it more than once in a while.
 
The worst part about dxm for me was the coming up.....It was always very uncomfortable and made me have panic attacks, but usually once the trip set in it was ok.
 
The nausea is normal, though I've never experienced it — try taking DXM with a diphenhydramine or cannabis. The gastrointestinal problems seem to be the sorbitol in my experience.

I love DXM but honestly I wouldn't enjoy it either at less than twice that dose, and I only weigh about 60kg. The first plateau is just dysphoric and lethargic in my opinion.
 
First plateau is pretty worthless. Second plateau makes you feel social, and try to act social, but you'll act like a moron. Third is kinda interesting, sedating, and anaesthetic. DXM is shit without good music. Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and other post-rock is usually ideal.
 
ive tried low and high dose .... hated it both times ... but allot of people seem to like the stuff
 
I used to love the feeling, just 150mg got me trippin out. When I took 450mg I got rushed to the ER. Respiratory depression apparently.

Anyway to answer your question: yes, lots of people don't react well to dxm.
 
My first dose was 900mg in the form of tussin pills which contain ONLY dxm. Many of the dxm cough syrups and pills contain something else which will cause the nausea but the name escapes me atm.... It can also be very dangerous. That is why the "coraseden" (sp) brand is a big no no and causes od's. The LD50 for dxm is very high but the other compound is quite low. I took a heavy dose and the come up was scary. I wanted to call 911 but my roomy calmed me down. Once high, we tripped for about 10 hours and that is no exageration. I got my dose information from erowid before doing anything. I was very euphoric but concentration was impossible. I found sitting in my closet in pitch black was AMAZING. It is very hard to describe the feeling and visuals.

Doing it at work was most likely your problem as well as the other chemical in it. A quick google search will tell you what the 2nd chemical is. ONLY BUY THINGS WITH ONLY DXM IN IT OR YOU CAN DIE. I say try again but in a very calm setting and have someone with you in case of a freak out
 
My mate always pukes up on it whatever dose he takes! He can't stand the stuff lol. 8)

I personally love it! Really wicked when mixed with a bit of K ;)
