Well as the title states I HATE DXM, it is probly the nastiest substance i have ever tried. 2 nites ago i decided, after reading all about it on here, to try and trip with sum dxm. I went out and bought sum tussin extra strength with ONLY dxm in it none of the other shit. Got home read the instructions. it was a 4oz bottle (117ml) and it had 15mg dxm per 5ml so the entire bottle was around 350mg. So i decided to drink the whole thing (i'm 6'1'' and weigh about 195 lbs). I layed in my bed and watched tv for about 2 hours, didn't feel anything except kinda sick from drinking all that nasty stuff so i went to bed. About 3 hours later i woke up violently feeling like my whole body was on fire, then i started getting cold rushing up and down my body. I felt sick to my stomach and the best way to describe it was i pretty much wanted to die. I decided to make myself puke and try and get whatever was left of it out of my stomach. Which kinda worked. I sat there for about another hour feeling like death. Nothing sounded different, i didn't see things nothing. the only effect I get from it was having to feel like complete shit for the entire next day. My pupils where gigantic and pretty much filled up my entire eye ball for the whole day. I am never going to try dxm ever again. I don't recommend it for any one unless you like feeling like death
ur problem was that u didnt use enough dxm to even get high 1st Plateau: 1.5-2.5 mg/kg [.675-1.125mg/lb] This is the weakest level. This feels slightly intoxicating, a little light headed. Some music euphoria is noticable u take ur weight and divide it by the total dxm in the bottle and by what ur saying u had about .4875mg and u need atleast .675
It's because you went to bed.... duh. If you would of stayed awake you would of eventually felt it and be like ohh there it is but like keepblazin said it would of been very minor. You probably wouldn't of had the fire effect if you went to bed either.
Ignore this post, I don't think he read what you wrote, GetHigh. Really? If he stayed up he wouldn't have rejected the dxm? What do you base this on? I'm afraid gethigh that your body simply does not like dxm. what you experienced was -not- typical side effects, it was side effects that normally do not surface until many many trips. don't do it again, it's very, very bad for your health to go through that. i know exactly what you mean by feeling like you're on fire. it is so akin to that it's scary. it's almost trippy. and agonizing. it had nothing to do with dosage. if anything, i am very thankful you did such a small dose, so your pain was minimal. I cannot believe these guys ^ are telling you to do MORE of it next time. I am shocked at these responses.
glad to see someone who knows what they're talking about. listen to this post only, ignore every previous one.
ok wtf dude learn some math u take the mg he drank 350mg divided by his weight 195 that does not equal .675 which is considered the 1st plateau if u read the first post in this whole forum
"ok wtf dude" if you had actually READ what the dosage calculation is, you would know that it's mg per kilogram of body weight, not per pound. One pound equals roughly .45 KG. That means that the OP weighs 87.75 Kilograms, which means that his dose of 350mg was 3.9mg/kg of his body weight. a fine second plateau dose. oh and by the way, even if it WAS calculated by pounds, that still puts him at 1.8, which would technically be a first plateau dose. and with such a horrible physical reaction, are you seriously suggesting he take more? if it was that bad at such a low dose, imagine how awful it would be if he had taken, say, 600mg? just be careful about what you tell people to do, man. at the very least do your research next time.
I have had these reactions but for me one of the times was because I was taking an MAOI so yuck anyways.... since I am bull headed I pressed on and found amazing ways to trip and have beautiful trips on DXM... but I am a veteran "tripper" if you will. I have felt those feelings on Tussin and Tussin only... Delsym never did this to me. BUT!! I imagine that you actually suffered from a small histamine reaction (because DXM actually is popular for giving allergic reactions), I have seen people that have had full on histamine reactions and that "burning skin feeling" was the first side effect that they encountered before their whole face swelled up like a panda. There are several reasons and NO it had nothing to do with how much you took because I have had a decent trip on that exact does. If you are not completely traumatized and still want to try it I would advise trying delsym because it has a different metabolizing effect in your nervous system because it is time released instead of Tussin which just metabolizes straight in without being digested. Another would be to make sure you have had a very normal diet the previous week... (little fast food, no drinking, no other serotonin effecting drugs) another idea would be to just never do it again... maybe you have been saved before you went on to try larger doses and had a full on Allergic reaction.
Yea, i'm probly never gonna try it again, In the future if i'm ever gonna trip it's definatlly gonna b on sumthing like mushrooms.
If you read the first post in this thread you would see that the problem was not that he didn't drink enough, it was that he drank too much. Read it. The guy had a terrible, terrible reaction to dxm. Your advice is "take more". Please read before you post, you might kill someone.
Example: I am 135 pounds and going to take 600mg. 135 / 600 = 4.44, an average 3rd Plateau dose. so why u saying its by kg according to the calculator on my comp 195/350=0.55714285714285714285714285714286 EDIT and i didnt suggest to take more all i said was that he didnt take enough to even feel it
because the dosage calculations aren't by pound, they're measured "mg per KG", read up anywhere. so you're 135/600 doesn't mean anything... http://ledahosting.com/~ahughes/DXM/dxmcalc.htm if you MUST, enter in "195 pounds", click convert. it will say "89 kg", then hit "calculate". you will see that 350mg for someone who weighs 195 pounds is a sort of low but perfectly legit second plateau dose.
DXM is a shitty and amazing drug at the same time. Effects i like : Dissociation from body, great when your sick. Your arms feel incredibly light. Tripppy visuals. Weird thoughts. Music is incredible. Some weird perspective problems Effects I hate: Robo walking. So noticible. The hot/cold flashes. Nausea. Vertigo ( Dizzyness). Dehydration. Pick your poison. For me, I prefer real drugs. But hey, everyones entitled to their own opinion.
how is it not a real drug? DXM is a chemical, no less a drug than LSD or any other substance. do you ever get trembly? i notice that if i take DXM without eating a full meal first, i get insanely shaky and i just tremble a ton. other than that i have no unpleasant physical side effects.
well, if you extract the DXM from the syrup, then gelcap it. I'd call it a real drug. But, The DXM is diluted with all sorts of unneccisary (alcohol, other syrup binders )crap that is not in the active ingredients in the syrup.. Although it could be said that oh well than MDMA and oxy is bullshit cuz the pills have other stuff in em too. So if thats your next case than touche i guess lol... Um, I get pretty trembly yes. Although Ill admit ive only done it around 4-5 times so I dont have very much experience with it.
Yeah I've gotten trembly... I think it has to do with what part of the brain DXM effects... its one of the only Hallucinogens to effect your motor skills so dramatically. NOT Advised but if you take a really small amount of 5-htp the day before your trip or way early that day and I mean little little bit or you'll get serotonin syndrome which I have had at least 3 times and it sucks bad talk about feeling like your dying... Anyways this will get rid of Robo legs or whatever you wanna call it... and it will take away some of the shakys... but this is so not advised just because of the risk of getting Serotonin syndrome...
hmm yeah seratonin syndrome does NOT sound fun haha. i honestly don't mind all the motor changes, i find them pretty funny as i trip (the zombie shuffle, having to hold on to walls when i walk like i'm out at sea during a huge storm). if you actually liked DXM, though, but want to get rid of the trembles just eat a big meal before you drink the syrup (although if robo tends to make you nauseas, you may want to take that into consideration). i haven't verified this through anything but experience, but pretty consistently i feel fine if i have a full stomach, but tremble and feel weak if i haven't eaten.
that example was copied and pasted from the first thread on this forum so either ur wrong or there wrong im simply just using the facts that the first thread on this forum uses
