In about one week i will be tripping on probably 300 mg of dxm, and i am planning to take it at about 11 oclock at night. I dont wanna fall asleep though during my trip so i was wondering if dxm would make me more or less likely to fall asleep. Im hoping it will keep me up till the trip is done. By the way, normally its pretty hard for me to stay up past 3:00 am in the morning. So do u think that i will probably be able to stay awake for most of my trip?
Medicines with DXM mainly make you sleep, but when you take alot, it becomes hard to sleep. But here's some advice, grow up and quit messing with DXM.
My first piece of advice is to not mind people who tell you to "grow up" and graduate from certain drugs. Is the realm of drugs not one that should be free to everyone to explore, without pressure from others to do what is "cool?" DXM can certainly be worthwhile. Make sure you are using a product with only DXM in it, no CPM, psuedoephedrine, guaifenisin or other additives. DXM in and of itself will not generally make you sleepy, although everyone has different reactions to all drugs. Make sure you have something close by to vomit into, as it can make you quite nauseous, but I found that it goes away within an hour or so. After that, you will most likely not want to go to bed, but rather stay awake and enjoy the sights and feelings that the drug induces. It is, in my opinion, a fun drug that is definitely worthwhile to try and experiment with. Enjoy, have fun, and remember: everything in moderation. The Mushroom Man
dont listen to the misinformed person who the mushroom man destroyed... dxm has stimulating qualities about it and you most likely will not be goin to bed for at least 6 hours after uve taken it (although it not impossible if ur extremely tired).
i fell asleep on DXM once, and when i woke up i was still completely dissassociated from reality, i thought i was on another planet, and my friends air duct (he lives in the basement) looked like a spaceship landing, and i swear to god, right when i woke up, one of my friends looked at me and said "you ok man" and i muttered, "whats that mask on your face?" he was like what the hell, and later when i sobered up i told him that i saw (as clear as my own arms mind you) a spaceman helmet like astronauts wear. So Id say, even if you do fall asleep, it can be fun as shit to wake up trippin on the tussin. (this was like a 980mg dose, 60 caps BTW)
The few times Ive done DXM and then fallen asleep before the effects wore off, were the times when I suffered from a terrible dxm hangover. The only conclusion I can think of, is that metabolism slows down when you fall asleep, so that the DXM and metabolites stay in your system longer causing a greater hangover. Just a theory. To the OP: Odds are you will find it difficult to sleep until after the peak and the majority of the effects have subsided. Try laying down and meditating while tripping. Some of the best effects from DXM happen when your mind is as calm as possible.
K, thnx everybody. I took it at about 11 and i finally fell asleep at like 6. BTW, the trip was awesome (third plateau).
Though its psychologically addictive for some people, for the most part its anti addictive cause it blocks the nmda receptor.
i took 420 mg of it, and slept like 2 hours after i started tripping. i had no bad side effects from it, but i everyone is different
Thats 11oz of maximum strength syrup lol. Crazy. I've seen people fall asleep only on 1st plateau doses. Oh and whenever I fall asleep after a trip I usually wake up pretty high every time, but it wears off more and more throughout the day. Also, a 3rd+ plateau trip will give you a hangover much worse than a 2nd plateau trip. I am usually refreshed in the morning after a 2nd plat trip. I feel cracked out and almost unable to sleep on 3rd plateau doses (which I stopped doing).
