What does it do? I just downed a bottle of robitussin and i feel like it wasn't worth it? what does it feel like to be high of of dxm?
when I tried it I got blotchy red skin, puked, and never thought about it again, u know what it feels like to scratch ur balls but the itch doesent go away? damn...bad memorys.
depends on how much you take, there are four different "plateaus" to it. I used to take it all the time. in a dark room it gave me more visuals than any other drug ive tried...was good times.
its sort of like tripping but it kind of sucks. you just feel really really really WEIRD. your vision gets kind of jerky and you feel really tense. thats really the best way i can describe it. WEIRD.
Here's some basic DXM facts for you. First, unless you are tiny or very sensitive to DXM, one bottle of Robotussin is not going to do much. You need to look on Erowid for information on dosages (do your math carefully) and possible side effects. Pay special attention to the information on the plateaus. Second, if you are not already aware, be extremely cautious about which preparations you consume. Look on the label and verify that the only active ingredient is Dextromethorphan HBr (hydrobromide). While some people do use preparations with other chemicals, you should do so only after researching it carefully. Mixing DXM and acetaminophen could mean a painful experience and possible death. Unless you enjoy torturing yourself, you should try to take the gelcaps (walgreens brand is considerably cheaper than robotussin and just as good). Do not do DXM if you are taking medications without first researching what is safe. It seems mixing with marijuana and shrooms is not so bad either, not that I would ever do anything illegal *ahem*. Third, DXM is a powerful psychedelic disassociative. I recommend always having a tripsitter, especially if you plan to go beyond the second plateau. If you decide to trip alone, make your environment as safe as possible. And please only do this if you are an experienced tripper. I would recommend reading Timothy Leary's book The Psychedelic Experience as it contains extremely helpful info for dealing with a trip should things start to go sour. The effects of DXM vary from plateau to plateau. First plateau is pretty mild. You may experience a sense of euphoria, which is often intensified by music or motion (try dancing or yoga). You may have a little trouble with balance. It is hard to aim for the first plateau. Most people seem to overshoot it. Which is fine because the second plateau isn't bad either. Here is where I usually start to get closed-eye visuals. Euphoria may or may not diminish here. Balance and coordination start to be affected. You can still function, but people will know you're high. The third and fourth platueas are much more intense and are often used for spiritual purposes such as shamanic vision quests. There is much to be written about these last two platueas (please visit Erowid's faq). At this point, you need to find a comfortable place to lay down. I recommend keeping a glass or bottle of water nearby. A blanket is a good idea as well. Here, almost everything becomes internal. It is very difficult to walk. Once you hit the fourth, you are pretty much unable to move. One of the most annoying side effects of DXM is the itch, often referred to as robo-itch. Taking one Benadryl (regular formula, stay away from non-drowsy, and combination formulas) will usually kick this in the arse. It's not a bad idea to have one or two drinks while waiting for the DXM to kick in. A beer, glass of wine, or shot of vodka usually helps me a great deal. If you plan to go into the upper plateaus, you may want to meditate before hand, while waiting for the DXM to kick in. DXM is fun! Just know what you're getting yourself into. Bad trips suck. Death sucks more. As far as drugs go, I consider DXM a comparatively safe choice. It is legal (unlike LSD, which is also fun). One other website of interest is the Dextroverse, it offers alot of helpful info. Namaste.
DXM is an amazing drug, one that I have explored pretty extensively. I recommend you read as much as you can about it before doing. Especially read about the dose-response because DXM plateaus, unlike most drugs. 3rd plateau effects are much more powerful and quite different from 2nd plateau effects, for example. akbal is right, dextroverse is a good site. I would also strongly recommend reading and understanding the whole DXM FAQ on Erowid, found at http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/dxm_faq.shtml DXM is a powerful drug, useful for introspective journies and spiritual experiences. Always treat it with respect.
