Ive have 2 pyschdelic experiences in my life. I took a tab of acid & A gram of shrooms and had a blast. Still green as grass but I had fun.

I always thought DXM was like diphenhydramine and if u got high off it you'd see spiders and demons and be uncomfortable and have a nightmare delriant trip.
I've been researching it, seems to me that this drug has alot of propaganda but Upon bluelight n erowid n reddit n youtube conversations it seems to me alot of people say its the opposite and is clean

It seems like people who take DXM are uneducated. Their drinking the syrup bottles or taking DMX polisterix or taking DXM that has gua or acetemophin or something with high toxicity in it like Triple C's which I've been informed DONT DO. Or they just take a really high dose or something

I can't go buy DXM online so I have to hit a store & the safest ones that I think have DXM as the only active ingredient is these

Store: Dollar tree

Product Name: Valu Health Cough Relief Dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg Softgels

Active Ingredient: Dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg per softgel

Form: Softgel capsules

Count: 15 softgels per package

Price: $1.25 per package



And

CVS Health Cough Suppressant Softgels (20-count, active ingredient Dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg per softgel).


Are those good?
if DXM is really this trippy cool experience i keep reading about (all reports suggest its just a classic dissoactive)Than I can't believe they got it laying around like fruit snacks for a dollar!!!

So is DXM a dirty high or worth trying?
 
i've had better trips than others. i don't use it anymore... i mean, what i feel, doesn't really translate to feeling healthy, but idk if it's the worst most unhealthy dirty experience i've had with drugs... it can be enjoyable.... i used to do like 170mgs to 350mgs and smoke a bowl of weed and had some pretty cool experiences with open and closed eye visuals... idk, it can be cool. most people get sick of it... pushing higher doses has caused strokes and stuff supposedly although you always hear people that have taken large doses and didn't have problems... idk if even taking like 350mgs is the healthiest thing tbh, but people definitely go thorugh a lot of the stuff.. you could end up with a bit of brain fog or whatever for some time after especially if you use frequently, but not everyone reports that.

idk about the kind of gel tabs you plan to use... if that's the info, i don't see anything that's bad to take in it? i'm pretty sure there is CVS brand with out anything extra other than the dxm in it.

overall it's not the worst experience... i can't really say i'd recommend it. i don't think you are gonna get anything out of it that you wouldn't've gotten from the shrooms or acid.. i might just try more of that stuff if i had the opportunity to again. i just trust psychedelics are good for the brain though and don't really read as positive stuff about dmx... idk some people like dxm tripping though. like alcohol is pretty bad. that's why i used to justify doing it. i don't drink anymore either. just stuff that i don't think translates to me feeling healthy personally.
 
15mg dxm pills are great we have them but with 325mg acetaminophen and 15-10mg (not sure) pseudoephedrine.

It can produce mild mood lift, instant antidepressive effects like tramadol and if u take enough, Its perfect in that introspective thoughts and u can Also see things outside of u and think about them from completely different point of view, movies especialy sci-fi, or documentary movies or animated comedy cartoons or music Is something u can try to do. This drug is the almost non-opioid ( it Is like tramadol without O-DSMT metabolite so u won't feel like being high on opiate unless u never had any ) enantiomer of very potent opioid but monoaminergic diasociative is much more entertaining drug. And weed makes it much more intensive.

DXM is probably the weirdest drug I ever heard about. Either u love it or hate it. Things are black and white when it comes to this drug. I either hear about how it feels dirty or is one of the best drug experiences the person has ever had. I been told DXM liking could be genetic and I'm inclined to believe him. There's really no straight answer is there?

The overwhelming majority of ppl who tried something like Oxy usually universally love It

It induces full psychdelic effects by being a SNRI. It disso effects are from DXO, It very rare to not produce It. DXM & DPH at the right dose Is basically acute psychotic bliss that on par with a Schizopherinc winning the lottery at $1bn. It psychomimetic effect Is Classic autism.

We have no idea how serotonin hyperactivty + NMDA antagonism differs from PCP & Ketamine.
 
Not something I take but here is a general breakdown on dosing

Plateau 1: Misuse of DXM in the first plateau occurs when individuals take between 100 mg and 200 mg. Taking these doses of the drug results in feelings of euphoria and stimulation.

Plateau 2: The second plateau of DXM misuse occurs when a person takes a dosage between 200 mg and 400 mg. Feelings of stimulation, euphoria, and hallucinations (mostly visual hallucinations) are associated with these dosages.

Plateau 3: At this plateau, individuals will take 300-600 mg of DXM. The effects include euphoria, hallucinations, significant impairments in motor coordination, and visual perceptual distortions. One’s visual perception of objects in the environment is significantly altered, and this places the person at risk if they are operating a motor vehicle, moving quickly, etc.

Plateau 4: Any single dose of DXM beyond 600 mg qualifies for the final plateau. At this plateau, individuals experience hallucinations, visual distortions, extreme sedation (and even lethargy and unconsciousness), and dissociative effects, such as feeling as if they are not real, leaving their body, or that the environment is not real.

Please feel free to add if I missed or wrong on something.

Just a quick search gave me this info but as for real world exp. More will chime in, I'm sure
 
It was the most terrifying thing I have ever tried. Be very, very careful. Don't go over 200 mg. If you do, for God's sake be alone and be at home. You can't talk, you can't move. I dunno how I feel about it. Done it numerous times.
 
Also by FAR the strongest thing I have ever tried. It's not even close. People don't understand, or maybe I don't, how strong this crap really is. It will wipe you out send you to the hospital people don't know what's going on with you... it did with me. Very embarrassing.
 
^^^^^honestly the above poster is probably right recommending no more than 200mgs to start, but i feel like they are probably a light weight... honestly it doesn't hit me that hard at 200mgs... i went to see 311 and medeski martin and wood on 350mgs of dxm and smoked a lot of weed during the event and i was still up and moving fine... that wasn't the first time i took dxm, but i didn't really take it anytime weeks before or anything... even with a tolerance i will just pass out and not remember anything 500mgs or above. some people remember their experiences with way more than that, so i am definitely a light weight. i feel like the above use Isopropyl is a light weight probably even more than me. people's bodies break down dxm very differently, so it hits some people way stronger than others.... i'd be careful even taking 200mgs your first time, but there is a chance that's not gonna be too crazy of an experience or even be more than a buzz. everyone is different so start lower doses. i don't think dxm is one of those drugs like people say E you won't get the same experience after the first dose. people seem to repeat dxm infrequently with the same results, some people i've talked to anyways. but then again plenty of people dose E frequently and claim it's good too.

I was on like 600. But i would lose my speech around 300. Very scary stuff.

I think you're right, I've heard very wild stories from people on vastly different dosages. I think it does hit me very hard. Like if I was driving I would absolutely not survive on this stuff. I always thought "robotripping" was some joke, it's as far away from a joke as I have ever experienced.

yeah, don't even drive on small doses. lol. the buzz is a little bit weird too definitely. it's a weird drug... i can't imagine what it must be like from some trip reports i've read. i just can't achieve certain levels of highs some people get, i'll just pass out.
 
Dissos aren't psychdelic, The SRI psychdelic layer Is heavily filtered meaning you can't always compare It to Shrooms/LSD. I view It more close to actual psychosis since the psychdelic effects plug up the breaks in the Disso layer, Giving the same mindfuck that Deliriants have, PCP & Ketamine do this only when D2 levels are at 80 ~ 100%.
