hey guys. I am an expierenced DXM user, but i have never used the DXM cough gels before. tonight, all the pharmacy had were the cough gels so im going to trip on them. my question: is the nausea worse, better, or about the same, with the cough gels as opposed to the DXM suspension (syrup)?
I took a low dose about 2 weeks ago of the cough gels and didnt feel any nausea...I took about 12 of em..my first time though so dont be all like you pussy
i never knock on people. its always a good idea to start low, and work you way up. you can always take more, but you cant take less. so kudos on being intellegent. give peace a chance !
ya i tried them for the first time 3 weeks ago, took about 15gels, didnt notice any nausiea but then again it was a low dose
i did 4 bottles of the cough gels. each bottle contains 20 gelcaps, 15mgs DXM each. thats 300mgs a bottle. so 1200 was the dose, taken all at once on a (mostly) empty stomach. i did have some nausea, but nothing like the nausea that the syrup gives you, i think the saccahrin that they put in it makes you sick. the gels take a little longer to hit you but its worth it, not having to deal with pukeing. i did not puke at all during the trip, becuase the cough gels are just not as rough on your GI. i wont go into the details of the trip. suffice it to say, i visited the other side. I will post a trip expierence on erowid at some point.
yessir. i wanted fourth plateau and i got it. 1200 is the most dxm i will do at once though. and i always space at least a month between each trip. i could never do that much with the syrup. eck.
The Cough gels are my favorite IMO. Way better than trying to keep down all that thick nasty syrup! Even taking 40 gelcaps all at once wasn't hard on my stomach at all.
I submitted the report to erwoid. Since it might take a couple days to get reviewed ect. I have copied it here. let me know what you think! A couple of nights ago I decided to try Robitussin cough gels. I am very experienced with DXM, and the biggest drawback to the trip as always been the terrible nausea involved with keeping down all that saccharin loaded, thick, nasty, syrup. On this particular night, the pharmacy was out of the Robitussin cough syrup, so I opted to by four bottles of the cough gels instead. I was expecting the nausea to be just as bad as one experiences with the cough gels. I consumed all of the cough gels (each bottle contains 300 mgs DXM, so the total dose was 1200 mgs) on a relatively empty stomach at 11: 00 PM. I went outside, smoked a blunt with a friend of mine, and then a few cigarettes. By the time we were done smoking, I could begin to feel the effects of the DXM. I felt a heaviness to my limbs, much like taking a few DPH pills and smoking some weed. But the invisible force just gets stronger and stronger, until I feel completely relaxed. I walk inside and decide to put on some music (Pink Floyd’s phenomenal album Meddle to be specific.) Slowly but surely, I feel the familiar DXM sensation of leaving my body, as if floating above it. For the first part of the trip, I am still “here” but very unaware of my surroundings. (No Nausea at all, perhaps there was a little but I didn’t notice it). I reach the first plateau rather quickly, and I decide to smoke another bowl while I am still on planet earth. It’s a cold night outside, but I cant smoke in my apartment. I smoke the bowl, a couple cigarettes, completely unaware of the cold. I return inside, lay down on my couch, and the second plateau hits. My body slowly dissolves into a million tiny particles, allowing me to experience reality on a deeper level that is invisible to us normally. As I transcend reality, I feel my awareness expanding. I cannot decide (or remember perhaps) if I even had a third plateau, it was very short if I did. The fourth plateau now upon me, I begin to explore the dual reality that we exist in. I learned that reality is only an illusion, there is a separate reality behind this seemingly pointless existence. I do not use DXM often, but each time that I do, I gain profound insight. The cough gels are the way to go. The syrup is full of saccharin sodium, which adds to the nausea of the experience. And its nasty. The cough gels have minimal nausea, and you don’t have to swallow that nasty syrup! Smoking weed makes the experience a lot better, I would always recommend this. I would not recommend taking the dose that I took to ANYONE not experienced with DXM. Start low kiddos. You can always take more, but you cant take less. Be safe.

Damn that came on fast. It usually takes a good hour or 2 for me to ever feel anything even on an empty stomach. None the less, sounds pretty awesome. Last time I took a very high dose when I closed my eyes I could still see everything but there was a weird blurry filter over everything much like how the world looks to Frodo when he is wearing The Ring. I remember I kept going into the bathroom to look at myself and thinking, 'Wow This egg creature is weird. I wonder what it is?' and at one point the bathroom became a time machine/dimension hopper/space rocket and my boyfriend whom was just outside the door in the bedroom was riding on a bus with me through time. Everytime I would emerge from the bathroom I was in a different dimension or on a different planet or different place in time. That was the best time I've ever had on DXM and one of the hardest times I've ever tripped before.
I've never taken anything other than the cough gels so I really don't have anything to compare it to. I was wondering has anyone tried squeezing the gel out of the caps and eating it someway? I'm sure it wouldn't taste very well but it would eliminate all that gelatin having to be dissolved and digested. Just a thought...
i would imagine that chewing them would make them work faster, but its a chore, and they work pretty fast anyway. but ill try that next time i dxm. great idea!
