My experience is almost exclusively with DXM. During my most prolific drug sampling years, my main psychedelic proffering peer and I always steered clear of ketamine. We were scared of the addiction potential and UT issues as well as being content enough with LSD & DMT. I never tried MXE as I was regrettably astray from research chemical avenues by the time it got to the mainstream. MXE is probably my #1 most-want-to-try drug.
Anyway, DXM. I used to fuck with it in normal tripping doses, 150-300mg, 300mg being the standard amount for a bottle (of gelcaps or liquid, whichever). I would occasionally go above that amount, but not often. During my last semester of school I frequently attended lecture after drinking a bottle of cough syrup, much to the amusement of my friends and frustration of my professors. At that point in my life it was for escapism and it served me well, apart from the GI issues... heh heh.
Following school I developed a good friend (to this day) who swears by dex. He likes to take 2 15mg caps, which is the serving size recommended on the bottle. I like to take 3, for a total of 45. 30mg is too subtle for me, while 45mg provides a distinct anti-depressant effect that is more reliable than most other substances. It's here that my use of words is going to fail. I don't know how it does it. NDMA are some letters that might mean something. I feel more objective and less anxious. It helps me stop ruminating and instead work in more linear lines of thought. I'm more easily drawn to focus on tasks that are productive, or at the very least not destructive. When I go up to 60mg the effect is even stronger, yet more care has to be taken. Increasing the dose past this point has a pretty direct correlation to becoming "spacier" and closing in on the robo-trip atmosphere. I'll get more detached and start feeling separated from my body and the actions I'm taking. Not that this is bad or unenjoyable--YMMV, as always--it only means that I'm edging into fun over functionality. Keeping it to 45mg is safe. 60mg, that's still pretty safe. I stick to 45mg because there seems to be the most value per mg for the specific intent of not feeling like shit. I buy enough of this crap as it is
oh yeah, I'm on DXM right now, in addition to a few other drugs
