DXM Doses

I think I'm going to experiment with DXM tonight as I am home from school today and am in the mood to trip out.

It'll be my first time and I have a few questions:

1) What would be the appropriate dose for a 2nd plateau trip and I weigh 115lbs. In the syrup forget and the gel caps.

2) I have a headache at the moment and am slightly dizzy [because I slept so much the other day and am being lazy lying on bed =P] , do you recommend leaving this for another day, like will this affect it any? I'm planning on walking to the grocery store to buy the stuff, and fresh air will most likely clear me of this.

3)What are the recommended brands? For syrup? Gelcaps?

Thanks!!

 

Look up the DXM calculator on third-plateau.org, and plug in your weight and you'll get accurate plateau dosages. As I said in another thread, the Zycam night-time spray requires the least ingestion. It is awful tasting, and will most likely make you puke, but you probably will anyhow. But on the upside, 500mg in one shot. Otherwise Robitussin gel caps have no taste, but you have to take a lot of them, and then when you start tripping you kind of freak out thinking back on how many times over the recommended dosage you just took which leads to thinking you will die and shame your family, etc.

 

I wouldn't do it. It'll kill ya.

 

the dose calculator is anything but an 'accurate' dosage indicator.

start low and work up, it effects everyone different.

take 300mg first time.

then try 600.

 

I wouldn't do it with cough medecine.

I've only ever done it with pure DXM, and the most I ever did was a just over 1100mg.

 

DXM man. Wow that makes u cool. Your like the next Jim Morrison or Snoop DOg. LOL

 

It is actually pretty accurate in determining what plateau dosage you are taking. Otherwise you are just guessing completely.
And as far as the cool comment goes, strngchz, when you use the word your, when you're is needed, you make yourself look like an idiot.

 

lol, dude that was completely random. way to fail.

 

can you please explain how a computer can integrate the personal differences that drastically (up to two fold!) differentiates different people of the same body weight?

 

it doesnt, but its the closest thing to actual experience.. i used it for my first time, but never after that

 

but its the most accurate thing out there... and lets say some really really skinny kid, like, 102 or something, with a deficiancy in one of thems specific enzymes goes and calculates his dose for a 2nd plateau experiance and gets like, 255 mg's calculated for him. with his system and all that'd send him way up on the 4th plateau(sp)... but lets say he went to erowid instead and was like, "i think i'll go for a stronger common dose" or whatever and ends up doing 400 mg's and fries his brain and has a psychotic break and claws out his eyeballs and jumps out of a building or whatever...

i dunno... atleast the calculator is weight based as opposed to one of his buddies telling him that 2 bottles'll do him.

or something...

 

yeah, i figure 300 mg seems like the average dose if you're an average person... i'm trying out DXM tomorrow for the first time, i'm about 160, and i'm going for 300. seems like a good mid-second-plateau, and i don't want to freak myself out by taking too much.

 

i find a bottle of tussin maximum strength is good starter for most folks.. 360 mg's... i guess if someone is tiny then only drink some of it or whatever... or maybe im just really stoned and this is really bad advice...

 

i've already bought the stuff , but next time (if there is a next time) i'll definetly move up.

 

Thanks for the info everyone

 

Well, my first trip was like 300mg and I weigh like 135-140. I think that would be a good starting dose for mild hallucinations (walls breathing, living objects)

Whatever you buy, just make sure that DXM is the only active ingredient. Robitussin red cough gels or whatever work really good and are safe.

 

be careful. I've seen two people die from DXM at festivals.

 

you are in no danger of dying if you take an appropraite dose of a product with DXM as the only active ingredient.
Ive done a lot of the pure powder back when you could order it on the internet,
but now the only way to get it is over the counter cough products.
one 4 oz robo max stregth cough will do ya,
as you become more accustomed and comfortable tripping then you could get a 8 oz, but a whole 8 oz will probably not be needed,
make sure you have a good chaser, the stuff tastes nasty,
and also wait until you have a lot of good weed to go with it,
it isnt at all worth doing without good weed to go with it.

 

8 oz is my standard dose.. ima push it up one more (4 oz)bottle really soon here...

they were probably doing other stuff too though.. could you tell us the story mayhaps?

 

I was dancing at a music festival in Canada to an amazing set. I can't remember exactly who was spinning at the time. This girl to the left of me collapsed on the floor. Her face looked like death itself. She was so white in the face. I asked her friend that was with her what she was on and she told me that she took a lot of DXM. There was pure DXM powder going around at the festival. People were going overboard. I rushed to the EMT tent to get help. They couldn't do anything because it was too late. Maybe if she got help before she collapsed, then she'd still be alive today. The other case was this dude that took the same stuff or so I assume because it was everywhere at this place. I wasn't there when he collapsed, but I saw the EMTs carry him out and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The problem with DXM is that you can't tell that you are thristy or overheating. These two cats prolly didn't know that they were dihydranting. They were prolly dancing for long periods of time without any water. So they most likely died from not drinking water and overheating, then from DXM itself. All I'm saying is be careful because these people that died from this were way too young to die.
