dextromethorphan

how do you feel about dxm? a lot of people seem to think of it as just a soykafty otc drug for high schoolers, but plenty of others have apparently found great meaning in it. what's your usual dose? favourite plateau? any combinations you're particularly fond of? how about your best/worst experiences?

Any "legal" highs are usually seen as dirty and get a bad reputation because most people assume that you're desperate. Particularly DXM because it's easily available but if you don't do the bare minimum research, you might be taking DXM with acetaminophen or guaifenisin (overall you'll have a terrible time) With that said, I've never done DXM, although my waifu has a full bottle of cough syrup right next to me. She'll be doing it soon for the first time, and is just waiting for her friend to be ready to do it with her. I'll post a report of how it goes. (btw for aus users like me, Dry Cough Forte is the stuff you want apparently)

>>200 Ugh... jeez OP i have eaten more DXM than many people have on this planet earth. Too tired to go into it now, i could type for hours about experiences and combinations. Just make sure you don't overdo it and lose the magic.

>>213 How's caffeine and DXM together?

Only tried it once, and I didn't like it. At first it was pretty great. The dose I took wasn't high enough to cause real hallucinations, but music was much better and I felt pretty good. Then it just dragged on way too long and I felt crummy. The next day I felt like soykaf. My head was spinning and I just felt very depressed. Wouldn't bother with it again.

my waifu just downed 354mg, which will be her first experience with dxm hopefully it'll be swell

>>235 good luck. post updates here. i'll be checking regularly

Tried it once in highschool, had hallucinations without much meaning. I felt dumber for the next month, and the trip was ok but weird, so didn't try again. You can try this as a teenager, but the are much better drugs and psychedelics for grownups.

>>238 DXM isn't a psychedelic. As for my experiences with the drug... I tend to prefer second plateau the most, recreationally. I'll combine it with a cigar as I'm coming up(not a smoker normally, aside from when I decide to enjoy some opiates). The cigar, unlike cigarettes, produces a steady euphoria while it's smoked, almost like the rush of a small dose of methamphetamine. When it's finished, I settle into a relaxed state that isn't actually sedating and allows me to just feel content with life and whatever activities I've set up for myself. Speaking of which, second plateau leaves me just functional enough to do tedious tasks like housework without difficulty, and capable of enjoying them. For exploratory purposes, I like to work with a combination of DXM and hydroxyzine(an anticholinergic/deliriant like DPH but lacking in the 'sense of impending doom' department). Overall, I've enjoyed DXM occasionally, but I always work with the pure form and not syrup/cough gels. To keep it interesting, I only use it once or twice a year.

>>244 Seems like you know how it's done. I also like this: >To keep it interesting, I only use it once or twice a year Good example of self-control and awareness. I'm not sure how I feel about smoking (I've never smoked in my life) but it does sound nice.

I used to like it, but not anymore, because I don't have same dreamlike visions. First trips were preddy nice, I had dreamlike visions and projections. Unfortunately after some time trips were just pure abstraction. The downsides of dxm in my opion are completely retarded psychophysical capabilities, possible stomach problems and the dumb feeling for several days after the trip. And as I tried other dissociatives (like mxeshame its dead ;___; or 2oxopce) I don't consider dxm to be worth it anymore.

I accidentally mixed it with Kratom yesterday and it KO'd me. I took 3 capsules 00-size filled with Red Thai Kratom and then one level dose of DXM for my sore throat and coughs. At about the time DXM nomally kicks in but way before Kratom does, I start feeling heavily sedated. Lots of warping effects and such. I immediately checked for interactions because I remember people dying by mixing Kratom with soykaf and found out this is common and safe in Thailand. They mix Cocacola, kratom extract, cough syrup, and some kind of mosquito repellant (the most dangerous substance in there next to the coke). I know I'm going to try it on purpose at some point but it took me an entire day to recover.

>>222 I probably wouldn't reccomend it. It's best not to mix dissociatives with stimulants. You might be ok but the combo probably isn't good enough to risk it anyways.

>>280 I had some (stupid) friends who would alternate between coke and k to almost counteract the effects. If they got too coked out theyd do some ketamine and vise versa.

I tried about a month ago, I didn't like it that much. Ketamine feels much more clearer and I got a weird hangover from dxm, I don't think I'll try again >>281 I do that sometimes too, it makes standing up and dancing easier while partying. Certainely not healthy but it's a pretty common combo among k users where I live

I really like it, but I'm afraid of doing it too often. I don't take the dosages most people take though. I like the effects I get off of about 200mg. I feel like if I do much more than that, I will get sick, but that's probably because of the syrup.

can anyone here comment on olney's lesions?

>>701 You're not a mouse, are you, anon?

>>702 i don't know if i have earned the title of man but either way, the thought of them still creeps me out and has scared me away from dissociatives in general. i guess i should just sit down for a while and read some papers, then maybe i'll feel better.

>>703 The consensus seems to be that Olney's lesions haven't been demonstrated in adults using DXM. I wouldn't worry about it.

>>200 I tried 225mg and felt dizzy for a while, but no euphoria or different headspace, and I almost puked as well. I don't like it. Just smoke weed, it's safe unlike this soykaf.

Just stole 117 mg, hope this aws worth it.

I took DXM three separate times this summer as I was looking to try something new and didn't know anyone I could get anything more serious from. first and third times were 300mg and second time was 450mg. each time I could describe as visually harsh (the borders of objects and shadows taking on glitchy black lines), and mentally frenetic (jumping from thought to thought, forming an interesting internal monologue with unique combinations of words). techno and hard vaporwave were very enjoyable, but the most satisfying activity I did each time was using an illustrating pen to write down notable feelings or thoughts as they occured throughout the night. I realized from writing that after about an hour and a half or so my memory would just shut off, and that after it had worn off there would be an approx 2 window where I couldn't remember anything, where I wouldn't write anything down either. this was confusing. I also realized that a lot of my trip would involve images or ideas directly from that day in strange iterations. on my second trip (2nd plateau) I had been reading a history of philosophy for most of the day, and ended up having an existential crisis about mankind's accumulation of knowledge and futility in understanding itself. I'm not sure about trying a higher dose, especially considering the black out period. anyone wanna share their experience above 2nd plateau? I'm curious as I feel like I'll eventually try it myself

>>701 IIRC there have been confirmed reports of brain damage / degradation in long-term heavy-dose ketamine abusers, but I haven't heard of anything resulting from long-term low-dose or short-term heavy-dose usage patterns. It's been a while since I've read any sort of literature though, so things may have changed. >>836 Please don't steal OTC drugs. It encourages stores to stop carrying them / carry alternatives (including APAP for example). It's only 5-10$ a bottle at most. If you can't afford that then you should probably focus on getting money rather than chugging syrup (for your own safety / survivability). If you really can't afford it but still want to get off, look into online suppliers (certain dollar stores) that sell it for 1$ for 300mg of gelcaps. >>200 My friend of a friend of a friend has tried it a decent number of times at various doses mixed and by itself. As far as they can tell it seems to follow the "rule of thirds" in that 1/3 of the people who try it will love, 1/3 will be ambivalent, and 1/3 will hate it. That friend thinks it can be fun in the right set and setting, but gets nauseous easily and has trouble with the flavor additives. That said, they definitely think it is worth trying if you're curious about it. They recommend trying a first or second plat first, then wait at least 2-4 weeks before trying it again (possibly at a higher dose)

>>838 >I also realized that a lot of my trip would involve images or ideas directly from that day in strange iterations. I use DXM pretty frequently, far more frequently than I should, and this has always been one of the most prevalent aspects of the trip. I usually do low-mid third plateau so of course what I experience is a lot less coherent than what you were describing, but it's clearly the same basic idea. If you enjoyed the second plateau trips I'd say it'd be worthwhile to go for third at some point, keep in mind though it's much more dissociative once you cross into third, to the point where you may well forget who you are.

Very underrated drug, lots of potential as a psychonautic tool. Can produce very intense hallucinations and dissociation in high doses. I rank it up there with K-holes. A great many people find the drug to be very unenjoyable, more so than other dissos, so definitely not for everybody.

I don't really use it as a psychedelic. I like around 200 mg or so. It makes me very outgoing in small doses.

I've had some odd experiences on DXM there was a time in uni where i was legit sick with a bad cold and got a bottle of Robitussin I said fuarrrk it and drank a bunch. My symptoms were buried underneath what I guess was a high. Same day my roommates watched Spirited Away so that was nice. I continued to use it. One day I did a couple spoons before class: it was fine, felt different for sure, had one weird moment when i raised my head too quick from taking notes and felt a slow rush. that and just feeling a bit off if that makes sense. then there was drinking beer while medicating - it exacerbates the effects (of alcohol) in its own way but super bad for your liver (see: acetaminophen) with the bottle still around, i experimented more down the line one time i did like 6 spoons. not sure about disassociation, but i did feel weird things - crossing my arms and not being sure which hand was which, feeling a parallel coldness/warmth in my skin/inside of a particular body part nowadays my body hates that soykaf cause i overdid it and i have to use other cold medicine or i get diarrhea.

I ordered 900 mg on amazon for around $10 and I'm wondering how much I should do as a first time user

>>1188 If you haven't already, I suggest 300mg if you want something pretty trippy that's not too insane If you want to ease in, try 150mg and then 300 a week later

>>1188 >>1192 Something that may be useful: http://dexcalc.com/ I recommend trying a normal medical dose first just to make sure you aren't allergic to anything (15mg or so). Then the next day try a 1st plateau dose. Then wait a week per plateau before trying anything higher. ( Try a strong second plateau before trying anything higher )

How bad can guaifesin be? At my country the easiest form of getting any dxm is through an syrup which is 13,33mg of guaifesin for every 1,3mg of DXM. I already took an 1st plateau dose last year and apart from wanting to throw up a bit it was really pleasant, can a 2nd plateau dose get really bad?

From Arkansas. First dose was 500mg, assuming it was weighed correctly. Hand extracted from robotussin by a local friend. This was 20 years ago. Most people dosed by the gram. When you take it, you're going to pop. Plan for that, and don't fight it. Once you puke, you'll be right where you need to be.

>>1289 How bad guaf is depends on the person. 300mg of DXM with 20:1 :: guaf:DXM, which is 6g of guaf just gives me a lot of gas and some early nausea. I can usually remedy the nausea with some DPH, and after the first hour I'll be good for the night. At 500mg of DXM (10g of guaf) I'll definitely vomit but that's to be expected. So it's worth it for me. The guaf/DXM combos are easy to find and often cheaper than the pure DXM pills. Other people say even a smaller amount guaf with their DXM makes them vomit at a first plat dose. My advice, try 300mg or so and see how bad it is before you do something more intense. If it makes you feel fuarrrking awful at that dose you prob won't want to try the higher plateaus with guaf.

>>1289 as for how bad can it get? That can vary per person, just like the effects of guaf... I find anxiety can be worse in the 2nd plat, and the euphoria of the first plat is decreased. But I still enjoy it. There's a lot more visual distortion/closed eye visuals there.
