First Dramamine trip anxiety

Hello all, I've had some thoughts on my mind that I'd like to get insight on before doing my first trip.

Here's a little background: Been using cannabis for quite some time now, using daily. I've used k-2 and herbal incenses also, but other than that, nothing. So we might as well go big or go home, right?

Right so anyways, Here's the plan and my questions.

I'm planning on having a trip sitter. My good friend of mine who is 20 (same age as me) will be with me. I'm also planning on taking about 600 mg. I'm figuring on doing the trip on a night after I get home from work and don't have to work the next day, so it'll be sometime next week (week of Aug 5th). I've been super pumped and getting myself in the right mindset for it.

My questions are: is 600 mg overdoing it for someone who has never experienced anything outside of cannabis? If you've seen spiders while on your trip, how bad were they? What have you done to remind yourself that you're tripping when you're hallucinating? Will I be able to drive the next day? Is eating beforehand better, or taking them on an empty stomach?

Thank you everyone so much for your help and insight; I really appreciate it!

Additional info: I weigh prob about 140 lbs. I've read nearly every documented trip report on Erowid for dimenhydrinate and diphenhydramine. (yes I realize they are different, but it seems the trip is similar) I want to take enough dramamine to be completely screwed up, but not enough to land me in the ER.

 

Don't do that. Deleriants are dangerous and most people don't enjoy the effects. Wait until you can get your hands on a real psychedelic for your first trip.

 

The thing is, I don't really have access to anything other than marijuana. My friend (the trip sitter I mentioned earlier) had told me his trip story and I was immediately interested. I'm running out of time because he's going back to school soon and I wouldn't be able to find someone else who would be willing to do it. I kinda wanna lose my sense of reality (and sanity) for a few hours.

 

Seriously, I've never done it, but from what I've heard about deleriants, they aren't for beginners or most people in general. Look into morning glory seeds, or god forbid, DXM. Either of these is as easily attainable and less dangerous.

 

I would recommend doing DXM over dramamine any day. Dramamine is not a trip man . . . it's basically like you haven't slept in a week and are exactly that tired and exactly that out of it. It's pretty messed up and you'll feel like a pile of crap the next day too, and the day after that still. DXM would be closer to a real trip, at least it's a dissociative (and a very euphoric one too, just get PURE dxm).

 

I'm glad for more input. I'm always willing to hear what anyone has to say. However I should say that I'm pretty set on Dramamine (My trip sitter and I have been talking for weeks about it now) so it would be pretty hard to change my mind on it. Not saying I wouldn't, but I really want to try dramamine now that I know about it.

 

I would expect that if you go through with dramamine being your first trip, and you take that high of a dose, you'll likely not want to have other psychedelic experiences due to the possible trauma of a very dangerous deleriant. This is a drug that is known to cause physical harm to your body, and the experience is likely going to be very unpleasant, scary, and could scar you for life. Even the good experiences I've read about with this stuff sound horrible.

There are so many other better options. DXM for one is a strong dissociative and lots of people report profound and amazing trips from it, as long as it's used correctly.

Morning glory and HBWR seeds can also elicit some intensely gratifying trips.

There's also the option of ordering research chemicals from vendors which you can find online. There are many psychedelics that you can order legally which produce a wide range of effects. Do some research.

My honest advice, for your own good, is to not try to trip on dramamine for your first experience. Look into other better options, there are quite a few.

 

What about a lower dose?

 

I wouldn't recommend that anyone take any dose of any deleriant, especially not for their first time. Honestly, you could go to the same drug store and instead of picking up dramamine, pick up delsym cough syrup with only DXM, or robitussin gels with only DXM. Try like, 300mg. It'll be a much more enjoyable psychedelic experience.

Or go to any gardening store and buy morning glory seeds.

I really can't see any reason why you would want your first trip to be on dramamine, other than not knowing of other options.

Can you elaborate on why you want to try dramamine so badly?

 

Well im interested in the hallucinations and getring lost in my own mind. I know that theres no real way to responsibly abuse drugs, but im taking as many precautions I can. Im not scared. However I have read most of the erowid reports, and seen all the bad trips so I know what I can expect. Idk maybe its not smart, but I dont really care.

 

What I'm trying to get across here is that if you're interested in hallucinations and tripping, you'll be much more satisfied with the effects of DXM or other true psychedelics. A deliriant is only vaguely similar to a psychedelic, but focuses on the negative aspects and not the wonderfully mind blowingly spectacular awesomeness that is a true psychedelic experience.

 

study up before you trip.
this guy took 600 and it seems pretty heavy, didnt read it all though.

damn, and again here

I really just want to see it to believe it. The way my friend described his trip to me, it sounded fun. You seem to be really against using it. I don't really care what it does to me. Why don't you want me to try it?

 

Because it's dangerous, and it's not a good introduction to psychedelics. Nobody here want's to hear about somebody overdosing on dramamine or using any drugs in a dangerous way. When that stuff gets on the news it gives drug users a bad name and adds fuel to the prohibition fire.

Has your friend tried any other psychedelics? I honestly can't imagine why this one would be the one he would recommend to you unless he hadn't tried anything else. It's probably one of the worst options you have for a legal trip.

It sounds like your desires for this experience are just general spaceyness and detachment from reality, which may be achieved by a high dose of dramamine, but there are plenty of other drugs which will give you what you're looking for in a much more enjoyable way, and also in a much safer way.

 

I know he has used other drugs, but I have no idea which ones. He's in another city for the school year so I dont see him too much. Dunno really what else I can say.

 

I'd reccommend scaling the dose down to 300-400 mgs range and make sure trip sitter is present. As others have mentioned there are other easily available trips out there that are probably more enjoyable but I must say having not explored deliriants myself, I find them somewhat fascinating as well.

 

Yes, a good friend of mine will be with me the whole night. Would you even hallucinate off of 300-400 mgs?

 

I just read a 325 mgs trip report for dph, it sounded pretty intense and it falls between the strong and heavy dose ranges on erowid.

 

If I'm going to be honest here, I'm probably still going through with the trip. However I'm thinking about changing how I dose.

Question, (since I've never experimented with anything other than cannabis) does DXM come in pills? There's no way I can drink cough syrup without gagging.
