Just knocked out 3 bottles of Robo gel caps.

I imagine I'll have a craving for Goa trance soon.

Also got some more serum left over (118ml, 15mg per 5ml) from some time ago. It's been a long while since a good DXM flight.

Who else likes some light meditation with Milkdrop 2 visualizations on DXM? It's an unreal trance.

 

ehhh. Ive had some visuals and some crazy dissociation, along with other effects from DXM, however i have never enjoyed the substance that much. I think i prefer almost every psychedelic ive eaten over this substance.

 

DXM is a shit drug for kids who cannot obtain real psychedelics. I used it when I was young and stupid, and I thought it was one of the worst things a person can use to get high. The experience is just too dark and depressing. It's just a very negative feeling that lasts for at least a day after the initial experience.

Just my opinion.

 

I agree with the above posts, I never liked DXM. With that said I'm sickly impressed you downed 3 bottles of those god awful gels. One would have me wrenched over the porcelain in some kind of horrific death trip. Never reacted well to that stuff.

 

Everyone reacts to psychedelics differently. I usually have very enlightening trips if I can go out of body. It takes a lot of work though of concentration and focusing on the screen with the right visuals going. I like shrooms too but they can be a bit dark. It's definitely not a drug where you want other people around because they can interrupt a good trip. Gotta focus with the stuff unless you just take a crazy amount.

It's great for learning how to meditate since you get the feelings and know where to focus your mind when you're not on it. You just have to constantly tell yourself to pay attention to how it's done.

Also, smoking weed after DXM is amazing and into the next day.

Sounds like you didn't respect it and learn to focus it. It is convenient the way it can be purchased but that's not a testament to any weakness in the drug itself. But yeah a lot more people have negative experiences with it than those who take shrooms.

 

I have had many wonderful DXM experiences. DXM is actually a very powerful drug and has gotten me farther than many psychedelics have. I love it for Introspection and Music appreciation Have fun on cloud 28

 

I took dxm one time, I think maybe 360mgs at 150lbs on an empty stomach. Came on too strong, made me way too sick, hot, rapid heartbeat, sweating, loss of focus, inability to walk, vomiting. I didn't like it not one bit

 

I did it several times when I was younger, and I had some good times and a couple not so good. The last time, I don't even remember what dosage I took, but I was literally glued to my chair. Luckily it was a comfortable chair, because I couldn't walk for about 4 hours. But what really bothered me was the chronic nausea. By chronic, I mean for about 6 months afterwards the mere thought of Robitussin made me want to barf. The weird part is that I didn't become nauseous when I drank the stuff, but after the experience was over. I can take it now for it's intended purpose, but I still get a little queasy, and it's been almost 8 years since I used it to get high.

 

Psychedelics are awesome. Liver damage is not.

 

I find the second night is always better than the first. I usually do it in 2-night increments and then wait a month. Last night I -was- the music. I didn't know who I was. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know when it was. I was watching glowsticks move in incredible patterns and they controlled my very existence. It was wonderful. Eventually my sense of self began to return but until it did I thought of being as a group controlling my body, all thoughts were a "we" rather than a "me".

Never had nausea personally but I hear some do get it. If it's not initial (caused by the menthol) then it's probably due to having to process the glucose.

 

robo.. cop? Tussin, I suppose, how is it? I never take CM unless I have to, even if it has codeine in it, since codeine is too weak, and not sure about CM chugging, just not my thing. More like poppable, insufflation, smoke, edible or drank, something that IS meant to be drank like alcohol.. (haha though it is poison, it's been proven in mainstream), CM is proven as not so mainstream, so I'm iffy, should link me an experience with an interestingly detailed story of events, feelings and thoughts stemming from it. Thanks - Jeff

 

Yeah cough medicine is nasty because of the menthol in it, for soothing the throat. That's why I took the gel caps. There's obviously no flavor to them. There is some without menthol but it's Cremousin (sp?) and not very strong (20mg per 15ml). There's also the fast-melt tabs from Walmart but those gave me diarrhea. I find that each kind has its own personality to it. At Kroger there is a non-alcohol HBr generic version that IMO is the best but takes up to 4 hours to go to full effect.

The generic cherry-flavored ones are the cheapest at less than $3 for 8 ounces. That's 708mg dirt cheap but it's hard to take because that menthol becomes harder and harder to chug. What I typically do now is break it up because 4 bottles of gel caps cost too much (22 - $24 for 4) so I'll get 2 gel caps (300mg each bottle) and 1 8oz bottle of the generic since I can stomach chugging 1 8oz but not 2 of them. I am 240lbs so I have to take a lot more than your typical 140lbs trip reporter on Erowid.

The only negative side effect from 30-something DXM usages other than the tabs I mentioned is the robo-itch. It generally only bothers my feet if it happens. I have heard 25mg of diphenhydramine works but I don't want any of that in my system when on DXM, plus the only ones i have are in 50mg gel caps.

The biggest thing for DXM is set and setting. I get everything ready. I cover all lights, including small LED lights such as on the keyboard and the function lights on my display. I shut out all sources except the display. I get the sound to the right volume. And then I load up Winamp, go to Shoutcast, and pick the Digitally Imported: Goa Trance station. Then I load up the Visualization and select (using the L key in full screen) the "Glowsticks (Krash's remix) _phatbeat's code 07" preset and lock it. I then focus in on that once I begin feeling my head is hot, which means I am progressing from plat 1 to 2. From there I will get sputtering vision and my chair will seem to spin around. Then, with concentration, I go inside the dream.

For me that's when I black out for a period of time. But the state you return into is what's fun. It's a state of 90% dreaming. You feel you are in a different room, facing a different direction, and you feel everyone else nearby is doing the same thing you're doing. They're in the music and visual too as you are. It's your world and live the music. You're now the music.

During that black out state I mentioned before, you may remember parts of what happens there. i remember pieces. Everything is of color and you feel 2 sensations: dissonance or consonance. Dissonance is very unsettling while consonance is the polar opposite. I find that moving your mind toward the music and toward harmony, things lighten things up dramatically and you suddenly feel a sense of euphoria and peace. But things during the "black out" are strange, immense, and difficult to remember. I suspect that it's going out of body because when you return, your ego is still not intact and won't be for a couple of hours. You feel kind of like you're an alien controlling a body and you think of yourself as "we". It's hard to explain why, but this period is a lot of fun but I imagine it would be odd for a first timer.

Earlier during my use I felt the sensations of going out of body and didn't have a black out during 2 sessions. The sensation of a tiny body and head the size of Earth itself and then breaking away entirely. But I haven't had those recently.

While there are standard norms, each session is truly different. I find doing it twice in a row is nice because you still have some residual DXMing in you from the previous time and it seems to improve the experience.

 

What kind of mood you're in prior to your trip can affect how it turns out. I always go into my trips in a good mood and come out smiling on the other end lol
