Entry level dose?

[sourcecod]

So what's a good entry level dose for testing whether someone likes DXM or not?

The most I ever really took was just a 30mg Corcicon with my opiate.

I never thought to eat a shitpile of these things. I'm wondering if maybe I should.

[Tdigit]

Do not eat coricidin. A good entry level dose would probably be between 300-500mgs depending on your weight. That would be a decent second plateau trip, which would show you what DXM is all about without throwing straight into the third plateau.

If I were you I would go with RoboGels or the generic equivalent. They are staight dextromethorphan with nothing else.

heres a good calculator to find out how much you should take depending on your weight.

[LayinLow]

500mgs might be a little high just to see if he likes it or not... take around 300mg, which is 1 bottle of the Robitussin cough gels. Do not take the "triple C's" Coricidin. They have extra active ingredients which not only make you feel crappy, they can kill you. You need to look at the label's and make sure the only active ingredient is DXM. Search online for brands to look for if you don't know how to read a label. This will make your trip safer and more fun.
ONLY DXM as the active ingredient.

maybe-maybe not, depending on his weight.

get some nitrous if you can to go with it. its one of the greatest drug combos i've ever done. i can't stomach the shit anymore though, after my 3 month binge.

[Chipper]

Check out the DXM "plateau" table(s). There are a few around.

Now I'm allergic to DXM (hot and itchy) but def. could feel a 300 mg dose.

It feels like a longer lasting version of low-dose Ketamine, if that's any help.

[LayinLow]

I personally love DXM. If I didn't have to chug 4-8oz's of cough syrup, it would be one of my favorite trips. Last time I tried the gel caps thinking those would be better on my stomach... wrong. I was very nauseous for two hours while I was peaking, and it made the experience much less enjoyable. The tcough syrup is horrible going down, but sits better for ME... which was the opposite of what I was hoping for. I know the pure powder is around, but it only was available once many years ago.. someone made 1000mg pills... I didn't buy any, but my buddy who never tried dxm before took one, and said it was the worst, most intense thing he's ever tried. He hated it, but 1000mg is a really strong dose for even veteran DXMers (?). Most people like to stay in the 2nd or 3rd plateau, after that it gets too dissociative and out of control... which I agreed with.
Have a few friends with you, have someone trip with you, you won't be sorry you tried it..

I've seen a few people have the common side effect of their mind making them think they're 'dying' while peaking. It's a very weird feeling. You are fairly calm about it, but want everyone to know... lol, doesn't really make sense, but you are not going to die.. has anyone else here at the 'phile seen or felt this? Is it a common thought while on a dissociative? I'm very curious as to why people feel they are positive they are dying, and of course really aren't... please chime in if this sounds familiar!

Last time I tried the tussin... I think I did maybe 200mg. but ended up puking later. Could also be that I took it with 600mg of morphine. *shrugs*

whoefver was asking? my body weight about a buck eighty

[normus420]

Yea that shit makes me puke too Ive never gotten to trip out of all the times I tried. last time I drank a half bottle of tussinex I think it was. it was codiene and dxm I think and I puked 10min after taking it. Then like an idiot I did a full box of triple c's and didnt trip but felt like death for a day. I would love to experience the trip but I cant stomach the shit.

[candyman20]

like 500mg should definately do the trick if ur in to that kinda shit it was cool when i was like 16 but no way would i do that now id sooner smoke wet and i hate that shit im not one for dissociatives

Well, if the morph. didn't do it (most likely ! (say 30% gets into the bloodstream, [180 mg. - Wow, dude - scary tolerance you've got there, unfortunately))] then it's the Guaifenesin or whatever crap they throw in with it (that's what they add, here in Oz., for added cough-reflex suppression, them buzz-killers ).

The guy on the radio (this "hi-tech" dude listens to A.M. radio in his spare time, (& loves the irony)) just said that the body runs on ionisation of salts. He's a clever bastard but we get that too - after all, we're doing just that; throwing various salts at our bloodstream and also, unbeknown to the rest of the world, we're meeting up here.

Goodnight, it's anti-psych./dopamine regulator time.

[LayinLow]

Actually Chipper, Guaifenesin isn't really a cough suppressant at all, but used to 'loosen' up flem, mucus etc. that fills your lungs when you're sick, so it's easier to cough up.
If that is an active ingredient in a DXM containing medicine you plan on using to get loose, you better not. Heavy nausea and diarrhea are just two of the exciting effects you get from a big dose of that. X(

[Flowergirl]

Guaifenesin is definitely an expectorant, not a cough suppressant. Women seeking to become pregnant can ingest it for the same reason it helps with congestion, but you're all men, so I'll stop there.

Really? That is very interesting. I think I can imagine how that would work.

This I did not know. Heh. Wow.

[Thanat0s]

first time tripping dose should be no more than 300mg,
and even that is kinda pushing it to start.

check out www.dextroverse.org.

avoid the CCCs also,
many syrups also have nasty additives.

robotussin(or generic equiv) 'cough gels'
are the product of choice.

1 bottles of 20 15mg pills of pure dxm is all youll need to start.
id start slow at 10 pills,
wait an hour or two and redose if neccessary.

highly recommended(re MANDATORY) that you have a trip sitter with out.
block off a full 12 hrs minimum to get high/comedown.

dxm can be a remarkable substance for tolerance prevention/reversal, potentiation(at low doses)
and full reality warping OBE.

RESPECT the drug, yes its OTC but its no kids drug nor is it childs play.

[TheTalkingAsshole]

I agree, 300mgs is definitely the max you would want to ingest your first time. You never know how some is going to react to a dissociative, especially their first time. I've seen a lot of people get freaked the fuck out on low doses of DXM(200-300mgs) because they weren't expecting the effects to be so developed.
Nitrous is good, as is some weed, ad good friends and music are a requirement. Also, try not exert yourself too much mentally, as what seems like a good idea on DXM quickly turns into a felony and run through the woods when sobering up...

[LayinLow]

Than, great info. like usual. I knew you enjoyed DXM as well, so I was hoping you would find this thread.
Another thing I want to warn you about is that it's not uncommon to fall asleep toward the end of your peak, and wake up a few hours later still really messed up. You are in no physical danger, it can just be a little scary for some because they think 'uh oh - i'm gonna be perma robo'd' lol.. don't worry, you won't.
After you know how DXM affects you, you can control your trip a lot more (in doses you're used to), which leads to a really fun time IME. I have no 'psychedelic' anxiety on DXM, but have had some of the most crazy closed eye visuals I've ever had, and a few OBE's on high doses. High doses takes experience with it, or you will not enjoy DXM at all. (Just read candyman's and other first time high dose users.)
I will ditto the statement about respecting this drug. Go slow the first few times, you won't be able to walk too well (lol), and will obviously look messed up to sober people... so don't take and go on a date.

[Tdigit]

It definitely is my favorite drug to trip on, and I've eaten plenty of mushrooms and L in my time. There is just a really happy and content feeling that goes along with DXM for me.

With high doses I just put my headphones in with some Blockhead, Bonobo and Amorphous Androgynous. Lay down in a very dark room and just let my imagination run wild. Anything I think becomes a reality and I can do anything and be anywhere I want without leaving my bed.

[sourcecod]

So thank you all for the wonderful advice. I think I may try 300mg as stated by someone up there. But let me ask an additional question, should I even bother attempting a DXM "trip" if say for example, I have regular access to shrooms and semi-regular access to LSD from SWIM?

its almost like me asking, should I really try hard to break the lope code, or just go score a few opana from SWIM.

[Tdigit]

Yes, most definitely give it a try at least once. It's a dissociative so it's a completely different trip than mush and lsd. It's more comparable to ketamine in higher doses.

[LayinLow]

Don't expect it to just be a weaker version of lsd or fungi, it is a lot different in many ways. If I stay at or below the doses I enjoy (no more than 650-700mg at the highest) I am much more able to have fun and enjoy my mind trip, but much harder to control physical tasks... like walking etc. On the traditional psychedelics, it's the complete opposite... such a different, but unique 'trip' since it's in a different drug class.

[Jonas McFeely]

I've only had one experience with DXM. I was 17 and drank 2 bottles o' Tussin. I remember filming myself with my High8 Sony camcorder trying to unload and load the dishwasher. I literally did not understand how to do it. My friend was in the background, laughing hysterically. I may still have that tape somewhere...


Other interesting DXM story: an old chum of mine and integral part of my old circle of friends(the same guy that introduced me to 2CI and host of other RC's) decided to take his first time on DXM a step further. I'm not sure how much he dosed, but he was also going for sensory deprivation by lying naked in the bathtub with the lights out. This was interrupted by the mail man ringing the door bell, and he, not realizing what was going on, answered the door tripping, wet, naked, and confused.

[Chipper]

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I did not know about expectorants. My apologies.

[Flowergirl]

Just what you wanted to know, huh, Chipper? Now you can further impress your friends with your knowledge of conception tricks. Ha!

[ryan5892]

i took 330mg my first time, i wanted to die, and i couldnt walk for 4 hours. but im like 130 pounds.

[Quetzalcoatl]

I'm gonna go a bit lower here and say 250 is a good dose if you're no more than 140ish lbs. Like everyone else said take PURE dextromethorphan with nothing else. And I mean it, NOTHING ELSE! Also, if you're taking antidepressants (SSRI's, SNRI's etc) or a MAOI, consider the fact that you may very well get serotonin syndrome and even possibly die.

Other than that have fun and try to resist all temptations to do it again tomorrow night if you like it

[chillydille]

I remember robotrippin' in high school years ago!!I I would have never thought 10+ years later, folks would still really be into it. Im so bored these days, I might give it another shot!

[Fat Pie]

A true 'high school high', so to speak...

[Inside_out]

I honestly do not get the appeal of DXM....I don't think it sounds or feels fun...I accidentally robotripped one night while sick. Couldn't sleep so kept taking more. It was awful...

[Dutch]

One bottle of Robotussion Extra Strength Cough (only active ingredient being 30mg DXM per dose) should be just fine for your first experience. DXM is VEEEEEEERY intense, dissociative and delerious hallucinations permeate throughout for HOURS. Like being fall down drunk and on acid is the best way i can explain it. I did it many times in my youth but have absolutely no desire to ever do it again. My buddy ordered pure DXM powder off the net and stuffed 500mg capsules for us to trip on. Fuck those were a weird couple off weeks. Ketamine is the only dissociative i truely love anymore.
