Dextromethorphan (DXM)
dose methods: OTC cough syrup, OTC cough gelcaps, pure powder, other (all oral)
Dose size: Varies from tripper to tripper. 200-450mg = low recreational; 450-700mg high recreational; 700-1200mg low spiritual; 1200-1800mg high spiritual. Generally, the lower doses suit a recreational use more, but some recreational users go much higher. Most spiritual doses will involve very large amounts.
Other names: Dex, robo, tussin, etc
Duration: Varies from dose to dose. About 12 hours w/o after effects
Side and After effects: Varies in intensity based on dose and personal body chemistry. At lower doses a mild afterglow is pleasant ater the trip that isn't exactly unenjoyable. It leaves you disconnected from your body, a bit burned out mentally, and very spacy. Basically, you're just a tad fried out. At higher doses the fried out sense is much stronger, and I would actually call it one of the worse hang overs you could possibly have. Sometimes it
s painful. Continued motor skill impairment after the trip is mild at low doses, while pretty intense at higher ones. buzzing in the ears is common. some people may sweat, notice increaed blood pressure or heart rate, and dilation/constriction of eyes during and after trip. Nausea and other stomach pains are common. Puking is common as well, especially with newer users. Getting it over with helps a lot.
Dose frequency: Varies. Typically a week is enough time inbetween a trip, and extremely low doses are usually pretty safe to take two days in a row. Some people believe this can result in bad, bad things... I disagree. It's true that binging or dosing heavilly will leave you really fried out for a while, but it will go away. I've never heard of DXM leaving permenent damage except for in a few cases. It's your body and we all vary. Read up on it more if you want to use more often than once every week or two.
Pre-trip Preparation advice:
Recreational and Spiritual prep
1. Make sure the concotion of which you are ingesting to use DXM has only one single active ingredient, DXM HBr or Polistirix.
2. For high doses, put yourself in a good mood. Low doses are nothing but a high really, but if you want to trip hard you need to make sure you're mind is ready so you don't have a bad experience. prepare for panic attacks and things of the nature. They happen and are more common on DXM than with shrooms.
3. Prepare a quiet environment where you can be in totaly and complete darkness with good and relaxing tunes. If you're using it for a social occasion, you guys might try spending some time together in quiet in the dark. You will thank me.
4. Have some pot ready to be smoked before and during the peak. You will also thank me.
Spiritual Extras
1. Spend time before, during, and after the trip in meditation in whatever way works best for you. Go on doing this for as long as you feel necesarry.
2. Don't trip in a party environment. If other people are tripping with you, make sure they are spiritually seeking something as you are so that you can do it together. But dont let it turn into a party.
Trip No-No’s
Before you get used to how the drug affects you, don't go in public. You might get real nautious and end up puking everywhere or freaking out. Some people also love the ability to move and black out at heavy doses.
Trip Aids
1. Never done this, but I hear grapefruit juice makes a trip more enjoyable. Don't know how or why, but a lot of people claim it works.
2. Wear sunglasses if around family or public. They will hide the robo/tripped out look in your eyes.
3. strobe lights, colored lights, and other things like that are really cool.
Dont Take DXM With
Uppers, MAOIs, SSRIs, prescription nondrowsy antihistamines, be careful if you're taking a lot of prescription medicine. Acts adversely with a lot of things I'm not sure of exactly. Check the DXM FAW on erowid.
