I've been thinking about trying DXM. I've never tried it before but I'm curious. I've tripped on Dramamine 4 times in the last two weeks so my tolerance has built up a bit on it so I wanted to try something new. I tripped on Dramamine last night without having too many effects like I had on my first two trips. So I was wondering how long I should wait before trying DXM to get a better experience? I'm thinking about taking 300-500 mg.
Many people marked DXM as "the nastiest drug" but I love it. Only tried it once though. I did 20 robo caps/300mg DXM and puked unfortunately but after I did I just felt wonderful. I didn't walk much...it made me extremely tired but since I did it first thing in the morning, didn't fall asleep. Ended up sitting in my bathroom for a few hours with my eyes closed... Isn't Dramamine sort of like Diphenhydramine? I think I read all the experiences from erowid on that. As far as I know, there's no such thing as a good trip on those. All you see is some big ass spiders crawling all over you and demons on pretty high doses. Every trip sounds pretty fascinating though, will try it one day for sure. Good luck with the DXM if you do it.
The first two times I tripped on dramamine was good. The second two I didnt experience much bc of the tolerance, but it is similar to dph ive heard. Im gonna eithet try dph or dxm next
DXM is good but I'd go for Delsym over Robotussin, as Delsym's only active ingredient is DXM, whereas Robotussin has other stuff in it that can mess with one's heart/liver in large doses
Makes sense. How easy is it to get this stuff OTC? I won't be able to do syrup though because I always gag after just taking one gulp, so I'm planning on getting the gels. I still havent decided if I want to go with DXM or DPH next. Either way, I shouldn't try tripping again until september because like I mentioned I'm pretty sure all those dramamine trips have built up my tolerance to any hallucinogens (Unless it might not matter because they're different chemicals? idk)
Make sure your only active ingrediant is DXM. Don't make a habit of it, could be neurotoxic. Seems to make frequent or heavy users total fucking morons. I've read things about polystyrex (in gels) that would make me not like it as much as hbr.... but fuck me if I can remember what those things where. I suggest hbr from syrup, though. The syrup tastes fucking horrible, the menthol with synthetic fruit with fake sugar taste.... my suggestion is to have something sweet and carbonated, but that you don't mind wasting, like a cheap root-beer, chug the bottle, and ideally, half of a second (if we're talking the standard bottles with standard dose.... I forget size/dose), and then drink your chaser.... but don't gulp the chaser, your stomach is already under a lot of stress and you'll puke, just sip it, rinse it around your mouth, swallow it, then rinse and spit a few times, then drink a few gulps for real, and rinse some more... then when you're done with that shit, go drink some water. I suggest you wait a week after taking that stupid antihistamine shit..... dunno why you'd take that shit, but it's not good for you either, but has pretty much no benefits or fun side. So wait at least a week, keep up on your vitamins before and after, always be well hydrated, all that sort of thing. DXM is great for music. When your first experience hits, just before you're feeling unable to stand, open your eyes, or move (even doses as low as we're talking about will floor you if you've never done it) put dark side of the moon on with a good speaker system, crank it up moderately high, recline, and enjoy.....
So you'd recommend the syrup instead of gels? I was afraid that that'd be the case but it would be worth it if I can get a good trip from it. And I don't plan on using it recreationally. After 4 trips of Dimenhydrinate in two weeks it would be pointless anyway since I'd just build a tolerance of it like I did with Dimen. I'm hoping to reach between 2nd and 3rd plateau. Also, what's hbr?
hydrobromide. The ingredient will be listed as some combination of DXM or dextromethorphan and HBr or hydrobromide. ie. "Active ingredient:............. Dextromethorphan HBr" That needs to be the ONLY active ingredient. Do NOT TAKE IT IF THERE ARE OTHERS. they can fucking KILL YOU, and at the very least will cause increased nausea and puking, depending on exactly what they are. If you can't stomach the syrup look up the agent lemon extraction. You said you don't want to take it "recreationally", but (not too much offence here, I'm just honest and call things as I see them) you didn't make the fucking retarded choice of taking drammamine once.... you took it FOUR TIMES? In the period of TWO WEEKS? You don't sound like you should be taking any drugs. DXM will not have a cross tolerance with drammimine, I said to wait because that/this stuff is fucking horrible for you..... even if just for all the glycols and shit in the syrup. I said take a week and take your vitamins for a reason, and that reason was not the quality of your (not only recreational, but retarded) experience. It sounds like you're quite young, and not considering the quite serious effects of this shit. I will provide harm reduction info, but I will not spare you the lecture you badly need.
Yeah I've started reading about how dangerous it can be to mix something else with DXM, so I'm going to make sure that that's all there is. I figure if I have a good chaser then I can take the whole bottle slowly and do my best not to gag lol.
If you take a bottle slowly I'd be willing to bet you'll puke. Don't just slam it, but.... don't take your mouth off it until it's gone. In fact, don't breathe until it's gone.
You'll probably puke either way...take some dph or nitrous 20 minutes before to avoid as much nausea as possible (if not all). I don't know who would want to take polistirex...if you're into tripping for 3 days more power to you. But if you don't have that kind of time or will, just go with the good old Hbr. Just my $0.02
Dramamine 4 times in a week? Slow down dude, you shouldnt be using SAFE psychedelics 4 times a week, much less ones with such common and harmful side affects. If youre going to take psychedelic drugs you need to develop some self control. Sure its nice to be in the tripping head space all the time, but it can have serious repercussions on your health, your life, and your psyche.
Also, he probably thinks it somehow prepared him, or he tripped at all, or something..... He even mentioned (not by name) cross tolerance. He obviously didn't have much, if he was able to bring himself to take more EVER. much less so fast and often. And even if he did, it would be a shitty delerium that he got, not a proper psychedelic state, not EVEN on the same plane as DXM. It just shows desperation, stupidity, a lack of understanding of drugs of this sort (or maybe any sort) or the reasons to take them, etc etc etc.
I'm not sure if you misunderstood me or maybe I typed wrong previously. I've tripped 4 times in the last two weeks, not one. I'm not planning on using again for a while. I'm just trying to get opinions in so I can plan things in advance. Also, the first time I tripped I took 1,200 mg. I had a much stronger trip the next day on 300 mg. I have no idea why, but that was the best trip I had, believe me. The second two trips I experienced nothing more than small things catching my peripheral vision, so I'm giving up on Dramamine for a while, as it seems I've built a tolerance. However I will say that while tripping any of those four times, I can't say I hated any one trip. I enjoyed what I did experience from each one.
Have you considered branching out to drugs that aren't total shit? DXM is way better than DMH, though, definitely.
Well yeah I'm either going to take DPH or DXM next. I havent decided which I'll take next but I'm not tripping until at least september. Also, not that it's super important, I'm about a 140 lb female and will either take a max of 450 mg of DPH or max of one 4 oz bottle of robo (354 mg).
Are. You. Stupid..... DPH is the same damn thing, in effect. WHY would you take it? As GB said, "total shit". those are anticholergenics, they make your brain malfunction by inhibiting acetylcholine, that's ALL. DXM is a dissiciociative psychedelic that, being a more legitimate drug, actually has receptor sites that it binds to. DXM could be damaging, but may be worth taking. Taking antihistamines is just fucking retarded. And taking them repeatedly and thinking you "tripped" is even more fucking retarded. The reason you felt more the second day is probably some sort of dose-bumping effect, due to a long half-life, or possibly more noticeable effects either because you already had depleted acetylcholine, or because you had higher than normal in a rebound effect. Anyway, you're obviously not serious about any kind of tripping, and obviously need to do a lot of reading before taking anything, and should have from the start. Waiting will not help the DXM work better because you have not taken a drug that will have ANY cross-tolerance with ANYTHING, other than fucking poison.
I've done DXM a few times, when i was a little younger and unable to get anything better lol... I probably did it 4-6 times in total, can't entirely recall... It's not a very pleasant high at all, in my opinion. It makes you feel like shit, you can't walk, you can't talk, you loose complete track of time and are pretty much in a complete state of confusion, it can get a little scary at higher doses. The first few times i tripped, it was on 300-400mg, they were decent trips with mild hallucinations, especially with closed eyes. It was a little difficult to walk, but manageable. And it was very hard to talk, i didn't make much sense to others at all. But it was kind of fun, having some mild floaty feelings, some weird visuals, etc... But i don't like it when people bash DXM saying it has no real value, because this shit can be fucking insane at higher doses. I took around 700mg one night, and it took me places i've never even been with 'actual psychedelics'... it started off as a bad trip, i got insane robo itch, jumped in the shower, was tripping balls... so i ran out but couldn't move, i ended up laying on the bathroom floor naked, scrubbing myself with a towel to get rid of the itch, for what seemed like hours... I went completely insane, my skin turned raw. I was eventually able to calm down and got dressed and laid in bed... Thats when shit got really crazy. My bed literally lifted off of the ground, and started spinning everywhere, i started to fly throughout my room and house and my bed was like this magic flying carpet... then suddenly without warning i shot out into space, and could see earth from spaces point of view... long story short, i was in space for a bit and saw crazy life changing shit, then again without warning i dropped back down to earth, and had that horrible scary dropping feeling in my gut and everything, it was sooo realistic... and these weren't even CEV's, my eyes were open the entire time and i couldnt snap out of it... Theres a lot more, but this isnt a trip report im just trying to get my point across that high doses of DXM isn't for recreational use, it's a powerful drug. And DPH, don't do that, ever... it's horrible. I've done it once, it isn't a pleasent high at ALL. Your mouth just dries up, you get horrible headaches, you're in a state of confusion, and it makes you tired as hell, then you wake up the next morning feeling like shit. And you don't always hallucinate on it, but when you do it's never pleasent hallucinations... if you're thinking about trying it, please read some trip reports and re-consider.. ive never seen a good trip report for it.
