Misc What is a near OD dose of DXM? High dose trip lead to long lasting effects?

[XTC_fiend]

A little over a month ago i had dosed 960mg dose of DXM in the form of coricidin ( triple c's ) The peak hit and i dosed about 480mg more. The trip went well although the visuals were lacking due to tolerance from weeks of everyday use. I went to sleep as the trip seemed to fade. Woke up next morning for school and realized shit... im still affected by the DXM so much that i can barely walk a straight line. I went to school (stupid) and got through the day with many people noticing. Slept that night and bam same thing next morning.

2 and a half days later is how long it took for the effects to completely subside. On the third day i woke up and was baseline..

Any reason as to why it stayed active that long? a friend just this week experienced the same thing. Im thinking it could almost be like DXM poisoning but not a severe case. The effects are similar to an overdose. I was shaking quite a bit, had pretty bad stomach pain, and a terrible headache along with a terrible body ache.

If so could anybody answer this: what is the area risking OD for DXM. Im 6ft 138lbs. was it close enough to induce feelings of slight OD?

Yes you took too much, combined with CPM you have a recipe for disaster. IMO you suffered from effects for 2 full days due to the CPM in the CCC's.

CCC's aside, going over a gram at your weight was a bad move anyway. Even with tolerance you shouldn't be taking that much at once imo, stagged dosing or not.

You need to lay off the dxm for your own good, both mentally and physcially. At the very least stay away from CCC's if you value your health in the least.

I don't mean to be preachy, I can just tell from your post that you've reached and passed the "fuck it" point with this drug. You need to slow down, that's all I am saying. Just because its an OTC medication doesn't mean its any safer to use than any street drug or RC. In fact DXM is probably more harmful than a lot of them.

It is absolutely horrible for you to do Coricidin CCC's. Do not EVER do that again. Liver failure and death is a real possibility.

If you are going to do DXM, make sure the only active ingredient is dextromethorphan. If there is anything else, don't even consider it. Robitussin makes gel-caps with just DXM as the active ingredient, look for those.

With that said, you are going to have residual effects for a day or two after robotripping, like the symptoms that you mentioned. Redosing will only prolong this and intensify the effects - similar to an alcoholic drinking to avoid a hangover.

EDIT- I should add that, from experience personally and from friends, overuse of DXM can cause some real cognitive effects that can impair you for YEARS. Loss of hearing and depth perception is very common, for instance. Take caution with DXM.

Abusing dissociatives in very high doses does not conclusively cause vacuolization in the forms of Olney's Lesions, but it can lead to lasting memory, speech, and syntax problems. I would never purposely use DXM as a dissociative, and if I ever did want a dissociative trip, I would use something a little more well known, more recreational, and shorter-lasting like Ketamine.


I didn't think Bluelighters or people who researched drugs in general ever abused CCC's anymore, btw, just high schoolers who didn't know any better.

Its funny you should mention this. My friend (biggest DEXer i know) just told me he has a permanent stutter due to daily 3rd plateau - sigma plateau for over a year. I didnt believe it but it seems as if it maybe truthful.

MY exact first thought was CPM over dose or poisoning. But what is the CPM overdose like? If you happen to know.

Lol well sadly im a senior who up until that trip abused them weekly. But on the contrary i did know better and i did know the effects of this on your brain... I just didnt care at the time. Its all good now though. Done CCCs for good.

Not trying to add too muchfuel to the fire here, but triple Cs are extremely dangerous to abuse recreationally. I know more than one person who has died doing this. There are both safer alternatives for DXM tripping, and altogether better disassociatives out there. I personally hate the "trip."
