I honestly dont understand it. I have done dxm 3 times, the first time with guaifenesing (spelling?), that REALLY made me sick. The second time i took way too much for my second time (third plateau)
Anyway last night i took 350mg, enough for a nice second plateau. I took it at 1:30 am and i layed in bed until about 7:30, i had the most unpleasent burning sensation, for some reason i get it EVERYTIME i use dxm, i felt dizzy as fuck and really sick, i had a lot of hot food yesterday so i vomited all that up, burning my throat. I was shaking cold and my skin was really hot, and finally i was confused as fuck, like extreme MINDFUCK, it was like tripping with no visuals but a little less intense, I had feelings of dysphoria rather than euphoria, and time seemed to go by extremely fast.
I still feel pretty high today, i actually feel GOOD though. Im chilled out, some euphoria but no burning of the skin or confusion. Im guessing this is what a 1st plateau feels like, im going to do about 100mg-150mg next time.
 
pharmacy dxm always has side fx, i use pure for a clean(er) trip
but when dont have any and insist on triping with dex i take diphenhydramine 25-50 for the side fx
try a low 2nd plato next time and have some weed, dxm isnt dxm without weed imo

ps alot of people don't like dxm you might be one of them,

Yeah, im thinking i am one of them. But tbh, its a really interesting drug. I think i COULD enjoy it if i just stay in the 1st plateau.
Anyway it shouldnt have any side effects because the only active ingredient was dextromethorphan HBr.
 
Oh and another reason i think i can enjoy dxm is that im really enjoying the afterglow of last nights trip.
 
my first trip wasn't pleasant too but i had a feeling i should try again and later became one of my favorite things
the side fx from the syrop or pills are from the fillers and stuff like that, the inactive additives. i do get some times nausea on pure dxm but its usually with high doses and is never near as bad as i get from the syrop.
 
Its a crappy drug used by 13-16 year old teenagers. The side effects and bodyload are simply not worth the "high". Very very few enjoy the experience while most people try it once or twice and then never go back.

if its crap or not is subjective. its used by people of diffrent ages.
 
Most people don't enjoy DXM, your enjoying the afterglow doesn't mean that you'll enjoy the acute effects of the drug. The afterglow effect is a common feature of dissociatives, but pharmacology-wise DXM is an oddball, it's not for everyone, and with the ability of the individual to metabolize the drug being a significant factor in determining the enjoyability of the drug (like tramadol and codeine).

You will not be able to recreate the effects of the afterglow by dosing on the first plateau, which is generally considered recreationally worthless (though it has synergy with the effects of some drugs).
 
Dxm is very specific drug. The effects of it depend on many things. Like Never Knows Best said: metabolism, form of substance ( don't use syrop), s&s, individual preferences, proper dose. I have found that it is important to take dxm on relatively empty stomach to lose side effects like naussea and part of unpleasent body load. Another solution of your problem can be grape juice. I think it changes the effects in a good way. Feelings are more pure and lucid. Of course it is a possibility that you will never get the acting you expected from dex.
 
You're not the only one, i almost never have good DXM experiences. Pretty much same as you, puking, dysphoria, hot/cold flashes

Yuck!
 
It depends on what you consider "enjoyable". Roughly one third of the people who try DXM like it enough to ever repeat the experience; one third hates it, and one third doesn't enjoy it enough to drink cough syrup.

I'm older than 16, I enjoy the drug- I get a bottle of those robitussin gels containing only DXM, eat 20 (300mg) and have a good time :D
My first time though when I didn't know better, I drank a bottle containing Guanif~~~ and pseudoephedrine or whatever and I puked, had a bad time, but asides from that I enjoy it :D
 
I think you either love it or hate it, i remember my very first few times i tried it and they were truly something special, ever since then i knew i loved dissociatives, side effects for me were minimum, the only part i didnt enjoy was trying to get all the syrup down my neck.
 
That's weird, I never noticed much of a body load on DXM and I'm one that hates a heavy bodyload. DXM is a strange drug however but enjoyable and hilarious for me. I'm one of the very few people who can drink it and enjoy it as well :p It's heavy on the stomach but not unbearable so count me lucky.

Smoking weed helps to get rid a lot of the nausea but it does throw you into a whole new world, I saw the tunnel of light a few nights ago on what should be a 3rd plateau trip but added weed threw me a lot further than that.
 
DXM is quite a dirty drug, having considerable NE (norepinephrine) Transporter inhibiting properties and also SRI properties.

You are taking a bunch of DXM, which has neglible activity on the NMDAR, for its dissociative metabolite, DXO (powerful NMDAR antagonist), and getting bad side effects from too much DXM (stimulant antidepressant).

I wonder if you can buy DXO pure online and leave high dose DXM be? It was unscheduled after the 1970's in the US...
 
Idk, maybe its because i had tramadol 3 days before i took DXM, i didnt realize tramadol was a ssri until today.
Anyway, i bought some gel caps in hopes that they will cause less nausea, im going to dose in the 1st plateau and stay out of bed, the CEVs were what confused me anyway.
 
First off I don't find any DXM trip as being fun or pleasant.

Secondly, to my experience, smoking weed is pretty much a MUST just to calm your stomach down, and I feel it does add a lot to the DXM. Also, your doses are small, you need to take a lot more DXM, IMO, like 800mg-1000mg.

Dude, 1000mg is fucking crazy! i had BAD effects off a second plateau trip, so why would i WANT to dose higher?

If you don't like it how would you know what levels produce desirable effects (aside from what is reported by others, and since your recommendation is different than that, I'm assuming it's based off your personal experience)? Or am I misreading you? Secondly, recommending the upper plateaux right off the bat is in poor form, and even if they wanted to go up to the third, I don't think jumping to 800 is a good idea.
