The Big & Dandy DXM Thread

Thank's for looking out for me , i really do appreciate it

But im well aware of DXM's effects on people who have temporal lobe seizure's and people lacking in the certain enzyme in their liver , i have read Erowids FAQ front to back.

What i am curious to know tho , is the hype true?? is it as enlightening as people make out?? and i think people will understand the kind of trip im searching for , will the 2nd plateau bring that to me since its my first try?? im well aware
that the first experience with a drug can affect your oppinion on the drug for the rest of your life , i want this to be good but to be honest im not expecting alot from it i mean its Cough syrup :P

Non the less ill treat it with a good amount of respect like any other drug when taking it for the first time , ive read the experience's on each plateau and how they differ from each other , but since this is my first time im expecting it to be fairly intense even at the lower plateau's , what feelings should i be expecting at the second plateau on my first attempt??

I wasnt telling you , that you cant go to 3rd and 4th plateu, i was just saying you need a "test run" first to see how your body handles it.
Yes its great you did the research i didnt and look where it got me Lol
 
Yeah i just read your story then darkside and ive had a similar experience before on ecstasy believe it or not however you know what pill's are like these day's , its rare you find MDMA in them , usually have anything in them even rat sack...
chances are ive had DXM without even knowing... but yeah its always a terrible experience when the fear takes ahold of the high , its very hard to come out of it and go back to enjoying the high when that happen's , did you ever use DXM again??
 
i wont ever touch it again i dont think lol ...
there was some parts of it i could see that would be enjoyable but for me it really sucked lol
 
Hey mate

im simply aiming for the 2nd Plateau for my 1st time , and then going to work my way from there to the 4th plateau on my 3rd attempt , i do drugs for the experience , not because of depression/anxiety or anything like that , so after i reach that stage and can make my own judgment i will be happy. I would love to hear some other people's experience's on
DXM tho , or if you dont have an experience share your oppinion on it , because from what ive read DXM can be more intense than LSD in way's.

Starting with the 2nd plateau is a good responsible intro. I have to advise against jumping straight to the third plateau on your second trip, though. And DEFINITELY against jumping to the fourth on your third. I did the same thing you did, had an absolutely nightmarish experience where it felt like I didn't exist. The only worse thing I've ever experienced was my next trip after that, on magic mushrooms, haha.

I understand wanting to jump right into it and feeling you're ready, but my advice is, take it slow, even if you're impatient. I read all the third plateau reports, went "I can handle that" and bam, turns out I couldn't, and once you're in there it's too late to back out. The best thing to do, if you're in a hurry, would be to start with 200mg like you're intending, and increase by 100mg each time, separating each trip by at least two weeks. There's an enormous difference between a 300mg trip and a 600mg trip, and there's an easy way to find that out and a hard way.

I don't mean to lecture you, as it sounds like you've done your research. But you might never want to go near this drug again if you go too hard, too fast.

Also, I know what you're saying re: it's just cough syrup, but this is actually something I'd consider an advanced compound, not for beginners, because you have to know what you're doing to get something worthwhile out of it. And it can be one of the more powerful psychedelic experiences. Fourth plateau, from what I hear, is right up there with salvia.

What's the second plateau like? Beautiful. You're still quite in this world, but there's a sense to it kind of like being in a dream, or underwater. Dissociation is quite strong and you'll be somewhat anaesthetised. The one thing I don't like about it is that it makes me feel retarded. But no, you're not likely to get any of the crazy shit you're after from the second plateau. That's third plateau material. And I know a lot of people who are / were hard into DXM, and yet never took it to the fourth plateau on purpose, because it really is whacked. A high third might be what you're ultimately after.

I can't tell you what the third plateau is like from personal experience, because my one experience of it was enough to stop me ever using this substance again. One word from that one experience: Fucked.

Very helpful bro , thanks. ive read that only 1/3rd of the people who try DXM like it , i really do hope im one of those people because the people that do like it seem to swear by it , even on this forum.

Good advice. But I think its a lesson most people have to learn for themselves. A lot of people (myself included) go too hard, too quickly with psychedelics and dissociatives and get taught a valuable but painful lesson.

On a practical level, Robitussin tastes awful and the absolute best advice is to do everything possible to avoid smelling it. Block your nose before you open the bottle, measure out your dose and keep your nose blocked while you drink it as quickly as possible. It also tends to give me diarrhea so I take Imodium half an hour or so before I drink the syrup.

Having an empty stomach seems to make a fairly big difference in the effects. I also get a very noticeable 'hangover' from DXM where I have no energy for the next 24 hours. Like getting out of bed to go to the bathroom is really difficult. So make sure you have no commitments the next day.
 
Yeah, haha, it's one of those drugs that really divides opinion. A lot of people insist it isn't a 'real drug' and that ketamine is 'like DXM without feeling like you've got the flu.' But ketamine is also more addictive and toxic.

I wouldn't be surprised if you are one of the lucky third, just take it nice and easy and you should be fine. At any rate, I find it hard to imagine not enjoying the second plateau, so that should be a good start for you. Best of luck!

All true. Best you can do is scull is fast and wash it down with something strong. NOT grapefruit juice, which potentiates it. Account for the hangover, especially the first few times you do it; you're gonna feel weird and you won't want to have to work or drive.
 
DXM is pretty interesting, I doubt you'll have shared hallucinations or encounter the same alien spirit or whatever lol. Weird shit does happen however. Mostly strange and vivid visions. You'll probably feel like you've been hit by a train for the first bit. I highly recommend smoking marijuana somewhere during the experience. A second plateau dose with marijuana is awesome, a second plateau dose on its own is kind of boring. It's mostly a mental trip, don't be disappointed if it's not highly visual, it's a journey for the mind.

IMO it is worth the hype but some people just don't enjoy it for whatever reason. There is a pretty massive body load, it is confusing and sometimes you'll get pretty nauseous during the come up. At high doses you can lose your ability to talk, walk properly, form thoughts and sometimes you'll even blackout for short periods of time. There are many advantages too though, I guess you'll find out soon enough. Happy robo tripping %)

I think the first time you should just stick to the DXM by itself. Once you do 200mg DXM then the next time either do 200mg again and add weed (a small amount at first) or do a higher dose of DXM by itself.

I know a lot of people swear by weed for alleviating the body load and increasing the effects of the DXM but at the same time a lot of people (like me) find the combination quite unpleasant.

I've found out the hard way that weed does not mix well with psychedelics/dissociatives for me.

I used to smoke weed on a daily basis , these days maybe 2-3 times a week simply because it kills motivation , motivation i NEED as im going to university in January , what im trying to say however is that i have a high tolerance to weed , but i see where your comming from acid , maybe if i do decide to smoke ill just avoid hydro and stick to some dull bush , but it will all depend on how well the DXM is affecting me , if i feel like its abit of a joke id rather smoke some weed than take more DXM
being my first try , would you agree on that acid?? or do you really think the DXM will be enough??
 
I just always prefer to err on the cautious side. You have your whole life to do DXM and its cheaply available over the counter at chemists so I just think its better to ease in. The fact that you are a very regular smoker will probably mean that adding weed would be fine for you but who knows.

I don't "really think the DXM will be enough". To be completely honest based on what you've said I think you'll probably be a bit disappointed with what 200mg does but I would still recommend it as a starting dose. It will be very noticeable and I think you'll have a good time but its not gonna blow your mind or anything. But at the same time its also very unlikley that you'll have a bad time and be sworn off it forever.

So yeah if you are a few hours in and are bored with the effects then add a little weed and see how you go I suppose. That would definitely be better than re-dosing anyway which according to the DXMFAQ isn't a good idea.

Have fun.
 
I've never done it because I hate not being in control and hallucinating but my brother and his friends trip on that all the time. From what I can see they get extremely messed up and they definitely hallucinate. I wouldn't mix the DXM with acid, that's probably a bad idea. Plus don't you want to be able to see how it feels by itself?? I would try to be on the safe side for your first time. There are always a million other days that you could do it again.
 
Also dxm can take a while for it to be enlightening or anything like that for some people. If you're unfamiliar with dxm or drugs similar the first few times you might only get the buzz and none of the psychedelic parts of it but as you get to understand the effects it'll get better. In fact every time I do it it's more intense then the last.

Apparently music has been compared to listening to a liive band in a music hall as opposed to a cheap $2 radio in comparrison of sober vs being on DXM which is a symptom of the first 2 plateau's , ill be doing a full write up on my experience today (its 3:43 AM here , chemist opens at 9:AM im assuming , so wont be to long) so i hope my write up sheds some light onto your question.

However this is the table from Erowid's DXM FAQ to answer your questions about dosage/plateau.
