MXE Dosage

i don't at all agree that MXE has many similarities with DXM, having used DXM extracted from robotussin using the following A/B procedure)

____________

~basification of syrup w/ naOH
~extracted x3 w/xylene
~titration with HCL/DH2O
~double filtration
~x3 xylene washes for organic impurities
~re-basification at PH11 w/naOH
~extracted w/xylene x3
~naCL saturated DH2O wash x3 for polar impurities
~naCO2/DH2O wash x1
~DH20 wash x1
~organics dried over anhydrous mgSO4
~triple re-crystallisation of free-base from xylene to yeild 3 grams odourless, white crystalline solid. estimated 90%+ (min) purity Dextromethorphan freebase.

after several trails i found it to have almost a seratonergic quality or similar 'feel' to the body high almost reminding one of the body feel LSD induces albeit a much more 'dirty' feeling and uncomfortable to the point of wondering when it will end. there was virtually no euphoria, the dissociative effects seemed mild, and of a radically different nature and totally inferior in comparison to MXE. IMO more of a drunken feel and perception than a dissociative.

another aspect was that the trip lasted much longer than that of MXE (at similar intensity of effect, not similar doseage as dissociative potency is dramatically lower with DXM) and left a dirty irritable feeling the next day, the opposite of the pleasant afterglow MXE leaves.

the scientific data seems to actually support my own 'in vivo' findings as far as DXM has *very* little action in concern to NMDA antagonism has no action on dopamine level in the synapse, whereas MXE's N-methyl-counterpart (ketamine) is a Dopamine reuptake inhibitor , and also has been shown to act as a D2 receptor agonist in rat brain homogenates.

on further investigation i discovered that DXM has been shown to inhibit SERT proving that my suspsion of seratonergic action is in fact supported by scientific data.

DXM has many different actions on various receptor sites and transporter enzymes making it unpredictable by itself and extremely likely to cause adverse interactions with other sustances, even substances taken a week before dosing the DXM.

in my opinion it is simply dangerous, unpredictable and frankly not worth the pain of extraction even if it is available and reasonably cheap.

i'll leave it to the 'Robotrippers' out there..
