I use DXM pretty frequently but not anywhere near the doses you're talking about.
I tend to tap out around 120-200 mg as a maximum dose in a day, anything past that is an occasional extra foray for old time's sake or boredom or spirituality or whatever the hell it is that fuels my DXM use. I haven't quite figured it out.
Honestly DXM at low-moderate doses (60-120) is bizarrely functionally for me but I have been using this drug on and off for years. (A little over a decade?)
I sometimes take DXM everyday for a week or two (or three...) in doses that are generally 60-90mg (sometimes it'll creep up to 120) of freebase DXM in a tablet form from a certain website that is talked about quite a bit on reddit and elsewhere on the internet.
I have no idea if it is ok for me or not, I try not to take too much or mix it with anything other than cannabis really, altho I do occasionally break down and take my usually daily dose (60-90mg) with LSD sometimes and it's generally phenomenal.
Overall I feel fine?
When treated with respect DXM feels like a wonderful and functional tool for my mind. If I am respectful, and take the lowest needed dose to get my "refreshed" feeling, account for time off and diet, sleep, exercise and socialization, I find DXM to be quite kind to me and am able to enjoy a lot of stamina for physical activities and social situations that pop up randomly or go long into the night, as life tends to throw me curve balls and I always want to feel "unburdened" I suppose
I find DXM helps keep me loose, adaptive, and creative while remaining somewhat realistic. (In moderate doses!)
I find myself less attached to particularities and free from otherwise needless compulsions and anxieties. I find more time for art and abstraction. I find meaning.
When I use it flagrantly (taking too much too often,absurdly high doses, etc.) or mix it with too many other things I find it (it being, the DXM) tends to kick my ass mentally and spiritually in a manner similar to mushrooms.
Unlike Mushrooms, with their gut wrenching emotionally driven sense of utter embarrassment, DXM has a numb sense of being "in the wrong" if I am not living up to my own standards. Simple, clean, effective.
For me, this stuff works, as long as the material is high enough quality and free of contaminants and unneeded inactive ingredients.
The most useful tool I never thought I would bond this deeply with.
Got into DXM learning it was a way to control opioid tolerance/make less go further with small amounts of pharma opioids.
Realized I really liked this stuff, explored it in larger doses, took it down to just above threshold, pleasant, glowing dose, occasionally just take this sweet spot that I've found for a week or two as a sort of self created regimen to shake off the dullness I feel sometimes in life.
Anyway back to the point I originally wanted to make:
I would not take 1000mg of DXM, ever! Be careful, slow it down! Value your heart and your mind. In my opinion your doses are excessive. You can probably enjoy yourself on a lot less without so many side effects.
(Didn't expect to write a love letter to DXM here, but yeah DXM has been a friend to me for a while now)
(Obligatory warning/end notes: watch out, it's quite moreish. You'll genuinely come up with your own reasons to keep taking it if it clicks with you, it's wild how many reasons I can find to just....keep taking it? I am less of a binger and more of an "incorporate it into my daily life for a while" sort of guy, so that reflects in my dosing methodology and patterns I suppose. Altho I'm being modest here and will occasionally redose more often than I lead on, as is the pattern with me and dissociatives, I can see the temptation to just push the dose further and further, but this isn't something with that kind of safety profile. It's kind of like alcohol, a little bit is nice, a little more is real nice! Too much though and you quickly miss the mark and end up overshooting yourself into the "miserable territory" full of wooziness and physical discomfort, absolute numbness, confusion and agitation. Do not over do it! A little bit goes a lot further than you realize, and it's much better when combined with good marijuana.)
