Wassup guys just wanted to share my experience with DXM, My first DXM trip was very odd in a good way and a bad way, quite honestly i don't remember much, i consumed 1 4oz bottle of Robitussin cough and cold cf (yes i know its not suppose to have any other active ingredients but it did) it was guaifenesin, the one that causes you to puke alot, well it was suppose to but surprisingly for me it didn't at all, also im gonna say probably a quarter bottle of Vicks Nyquil cold and flu containing acetaminophen (yes i know very unsmart but i knew i wasn't trying to hit the higher plateaus so i really wasn't thinking of damaging my liver), honestly i don't exactly know my exact amount that i took, im pretty sure it was around 300-350 mgs because i drank probably like 2 more of the little medicine cups worth of Robitussin on top of that. Now on to the report, so a little over an hour after consuming all of the dxm, i start to feel the euphoria through out my body, first it was in my legs (similar to ecstasy in my opinion), very oddly i felt this before i started to feel sick like i felt a little nausis in my head and stomach, that went away probably around 30 mins or so, then i felt really good, very similar to ecstasy, i really felt as if i took 2 pills, ha!. Hour after that i still felt good, somewhat light headed, so i layed down, and put on some pink floyd (darkside of the moon), oh wow, one of the best experiences ever when listening to this album, as i layed down in my bed, i was staring at the walls around me ( i have this weird white spot of paint that came off on one of the walls in my room, like the paint in my room is a light brown, but this one spot some of the paint is coming off due to an accident years ago lol) so i begin staring at this spot, as i stare at it, my music begins to get slower and slower lol then to the point where all i could here is the bass it seemed, it was so sick! lol, then suddenly the spot on the wall began to get bigger and bigger, then it suddenly got small like instantly again, and it formed to like a really small person playing basketball (like the NBA logo, jerry west) like it was doing layups on the wall?! it was so crazy! then after like 5 mins it seemed of staring at this spot, im thinking to myself "ok i should get up now" and then i noticed the pink floyd album has already stopped!, and like 1 hr has passed haha, i was like "wow no way", after that episode i decided to stand up, wow did i feel drunk, i could barely walk straight, loosing my balance at every step, also it was funny, i remembered reading that if you see double vision, that you've gone way to far in terms of reaching the first plateau, so i was like wow i must be on the 2nd plateau then, i really think it was, because overall i don't think i reached any higher for sure. But anyway i started seeing everything doubled, i looked at my clock and it the time was like going up and down very rapidly, i couldn't focus lol, and now probably around 3-4 hours into the trip, colors seemed more vivid, more bright, lines also began to seem fuzzy and wavy. At this point after walking around my livingroom for awhile, and calling like everyone i knew and trying to tell them what was happening (failed miserably, as i kept stuttering and forgetting why i was talking in the first place, and who i was talking to, and i also kept telling people i loved them lmao), anyway i layed down again, this time putting on some trance (techno, rave type music) i really thought this would set me off, like really trip me out more than the pink floyd did, but surprisingly it didn't, it seemed slower, but no where near the pink floyd album lol, wasn't as enjoyable, but i layed down probably for like an hour, so then i get back up, because my stomach felt really upset, but i still felt pretty good (like i said mixture of ecstasy and i also felt really drunk around this time), so i get up to walk to the restroom, as im about to walk, my legs like suddenly just gave out and i fell in my hallway facefirst almost but i used to my hands to catch myself luckily lol, i was like omg, as i stared down the hallway, trying to stand back up, i began staring down the hallway into my dads room (just straight down from my room, his door was open, so it seemed longer), it seemed as if it would never end, like it was an infinite hallway that kept going, (just fyi my bathroom is right next to my room, probably like 3 ft away lol, but i felt the need to go to his), so as i lay, staring into his room, i began to crawl all the way to his room, on my hands and knees lol, i don't know why. But it felt so good to crawl over there, i felt as if i had to, like it was my destiny to get over there, seriously, so i began to crawl, and right when it seemed like it was an eternity to get over there, i stand back up just to realize that i had actually only crawled maybe like 5 ft, and was not even close to his room lmao i thought i was there, so i stood backup, holding onto the walls as i get up, so I go in my bathroom, like i was saying i had an upset stomach, wasn't sure of what though, i made sure i didn't eat anything as i consumed guaifenesim with the dxm so i know it was gonna make me puke. but it didn't i just had a little diarrhea for probably around 2-3 mins and thats it. so after that little episode, i walk back into the living room, all light headed and no balance at all, i had to hold on to the walls, so i sit down on my couch, and i begin to think, what happened to me? like why am i like this and why did i call this person and why did i play this music, like it was as i had amnesia or something, i forget literally like everything in just like 5 mins, quickly i remembered why im like this, like i realized i took the dxm, but i couldn't remember why i called these people earlier or who i called, (my friends melody, vanessa, and taylor, the next day after all this i remembered everything) but like i began to panic, like what if i called my mom or dad etc, then i remembered i did call my dad, but surprisingly when he got home he acted as if everything was normal lmao, so i don't know what we talked about but i guess it was good and i sounded fine? lol but anyway after that i felt really faded, drunk, high, whatever you wanna call it lol, like i couldn't walk at all, i felt so weightless and like there was no gravity, i think i was seeing some small hallucinations like i did earlier with the pink floyd album but i don't remember, after i leave the livingroom, i went outside in the front of my house, and i called back my friend taylor (for no reason again lol), but as i lean against the wall to keep my balance, and waiting for her to answer, the colors were so bright outside, like the sun was so freaking bright i could barely see at all it seemed, i wasn't even staring up at the sun, it was just anywhere i looked i could barely see, very unpleasant because i also felt really sick to my stomach outthere, so i went back inside my house, and finally she answers, all i kno is that i kept saying i love you like 50 times, and then i just hung up lol i don't know why. Then after all that i went to lay down again, i ended up falling asleep for the majority of the come down, when i woke up it had been probably around 9 hrs since i started, i felt a little light headed but i felt fine, not good like i did earlier, but just like normal, a little sluggish, but i regained a majority of my balance and composure lol. At this time my dad had just got home, my stepmom also got home from work, it was i think around 9:30 pm, i started around 12 or 1pm i think? im not sure, but they didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary (good! haha), so overall i say it was a pretty good trip, i only say it was partly bad because i couldn't seem to remember some of the stuff that happened, even to this day, but i say it was 50/50 overall. I do however regret not having a sober trip sitter, or a sitter at all lol, because i could of reacted bad but luckily i didn't, and also, id have to say i reached the 2nd plateau, because of the euphoria and especially the double vision. Overall i liked DXM, it is something i will do in the future, but next time im gonna have someone watch me and ill probably take a higher dose to reach the higher platues, so yes i do recommend dxm to all the people who are thinking of trying it, but i will say, i don't recommend it to people who are new to drugs in general, or psychedelics, it is classified right behind the likes of PCP and LSD, PCP and LSD are both very real and serious drugs, and so is DXM, so just be careful and have fun, thanks to everyone who read my experience, i hope you enjoyed it and thanks again for reading.
Nice trip report. Detailed and shit. But yo, for your own sake, please try and take JUST DXM if you're going to robotrip. Also, DXM should only be taken like, once a year or some shit. It fucks you up. Oh and please don't say DXM is like PCP or LSD, it's nowhere near them.
guaifenesen is the only safe other active ingredient but, like you said, it can cause vomiting. After reading further down in your post, good call on not eating before taking something with guaifenesen in it. Acetaminophen is NEVER ok to take too much of, even if you aren’t looking for a higher plateau. Also, always know how much you are taking. Don’t guess. If you are saying “it was probably around #mgs,” you are wrong. The number might be right, but you are wrong for guessing. As I’m sure you know (I’m not trying to insult your intelligence), DXM is not a drug to mess around with, at all. Pink Floyd is amazing. I really like DJ Venom when on DXM, Tetris is a good one. You sound like you had a decent trip, good for you. I have tripped 4 times. I’m no expert but I do know my way around this drug. All in all, great post and I hope you continue to have excellent trips. If you are interested, Erowid has a history of DXM.
You are soo right about taking products with DXM as the ONLY active ingredient. You should also look at the sugar and alcohol content, for example Delsym is very syrupy and sugary so it could be harder for some to digest properly. Also, i'm pretty sure you shouldn't do it more than once a month, although some people do it every day and are fine (NOT RECOMMENDED). As to the reference to PCP/LSD, high doses of dextromethorphan can cause a person to act like they are on PCP.
Yeah they act like one but you know, people do some FUCKED up shit on PCP which I haven't heard of on DXM. That's all I was trying to say
Oh I totally agree with you, I guess they just found enough similarities in people's general reactions to compare the two to each other. I've never personally experienced this, on DXM I just like to explore my mind and listen to music
