Hello Nexus, long time no see. (I used to lurk here back in 2012 and decided to pop back in for a visit)

First off, I don't recommend anyone to try DXM without first researching it, https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/ is an excellent resource.

Prior tripping experience: 4-ACO-DMT(Several trips from 5-75mg), Mushrooms(30+ trips from 1.5g-14g Dried), DXM polystirex(One previous trip - half a standard bottle of Delsym, forgot what mg.)



Edit: The trip was great, I started peaking sometime around midnight and laying down on my bed thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, I had OEVs floating around and mild CEVs. Music made a wonderful difference, after I peaked I decided to write out a good portion of my life for some reason, I don't mind sharing it below.





I'll be taking 150mgs at first to assess my tolerance and to see just how far I want to go tonight.

8:30 PM: I've taken 150mg of DXM Hbr orally via gel caps.

9:20 PM: Stomach is feeling strange, starting to feel the change of consciousness slipping in.

9:28 PM: Decided to up the dose to 300mg depending on how I feel at around 10:00 PM

9:37 PM Motor functions definitely altered, music is sounding amazing. Feeling some good vibes.

9:52 PM Listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk9XYQMRiLY feeling nice. Decided to take the other 10, amounting the total DXM to 300mg.

9:56 PM: Only took 5 more because I was having trouble drinking the water, it was weird, something foreign entering you and providing fuel and all that.

Total DXM consumed atm = 150mg(Processing)+75mg(Digesting)

Going to go turn out the lights and lay down for a bit, will report later.

10:16 PM holy that felt like two minutes. Forgot to mention something, I believe I'm lacking in the enzyme produced to break down DXM into DXO, I think this because of the fact that my 450mg polystirex trip lasted 3 days.


Taking the rest of the DXM caplets: Total consumed is about to hit 300mg Dextromethorphone Hbr.

10:39 PM: At first I had planned on writing the report on two separate sites, however, my brain atm is clusterscrewing itself. Will copy and paste over later when I can.


10:20 PM Taking the rest of the DXM caplets: Total consumed is about to hit 300mg Dextromethorphone Hbr.

10:35 Moving around is very strange, no idea how I'm using the computer at the moment.

Some music recommendations would be nice...currently listening to this: [flash=425,344]http://www.youtube.com/v/A3zOHHQSDNs&fs=1&autoplay=1[/flash]and I have no idea why....it just is.

10:55 PM Very Very altered, don't know how I'm going to get out of the chair/move to bed.something.

10:59: Time distortion is real, listening to two different songs at once separately, It works? [flash=425,344]http://www.youtube.com/v/fPAPdI3pA8w&fs=1&autoplay=1[/flash]+ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Vg01YbSLr18#t=883 typing is becoming difficult.

11:02 Experiment to listen to two songs at once went awry, tracks didn't comply to demands. Currently listening to http://gyazo.com/b913b43c5267504cfe9c63362986eb0e]http://gyazo.com/b913b43c5267504cfe9c63362986eb0e My Favorite mix to listen while tripping on anything, this is what I was listening to before I couldn't listen anymore on my 14g trip.....I should write a report from what I remember on that...noted

11:07 PM: 5 minutes feels like 30. Feel like writing out some personal history for everyone to munch into, maybe later need to get off now. cant computer anymore. Or can I? DXM is hitting me in waves at the moment, ssss

Very very very heavy body stone. Feel like I'm outside my body a bit. no noticeable visuals which I believe is due to me being on the computer.

11:23 PM: Talked to other individuals over teamspeak and skype, promptly got off. getting off computer, it's ruining my mindset atm, I need new friends. 11:25PM off

12:42 I peaked in the time between now and last post. I just now took a piss (Did the robo walk) Typing is really hard atm. This is a very introspective experience and I'm learning a lot about myself and trying to decide where I want to go in life.

12:44 While I peaked, I went through my childhood memories and everything leading up to where I am in life at 18 years of age. I've come to terms with everything now.

While peaking I had OEVs and CEVs along with the ability to lapse into a dreamworld with my eyes open. Pretty cool. 2 days later now and I'm still feeling high as hell, probably because I'm inefficient with processing DXM into DXO.

you honestly should stay away from dxm, that is just my opinion but i have many life experiences to base it on. it has without a doubt had a very noticeable and persistent range of detrimental effects on my cognitive functioning. Word to the wise: stay away.

If u have any questions, ask me, but the bottom line is ive seen it do more harm than good and im not just talking about myself. Theres much better tools out there.

Also, dont think this belongs here!

I've actually had some incredibly profound experiences with pure dxm powder and I don't think that dxm is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I have an account on the dextroverse forum and there's people who've binged on dxm for 2 years straight and after sobering up noticed little change to their cognitive ability.. Not that I recommend doing that as that still would be playing with fire.

I've had experiences up to 1.4g of dxm thought my two most profound trips were from taking 1g all at once after having drank a litre of grapefruit juice. The first I sat with my friend out in the woods in the middle of winter at this falling apart shack whilst it was pouring rain. My friend was sitting me and kept the fire going and we had a portable speaker with us and this was a truly life changing experiences where I fully detatched from my ego and experienced out true nature and our true potential as beings of pure creation.

I look forward to hearing your experience in more detail. Dxm has potential but also a large potential for abuse, hence the bad rap it has today.

theres no doubt that dxm can induce profound experiences however they tend to be more delusional for most people. Traditional psychs seem to have a more positive integration with our concensus reality.

I have taken many high doses of dxm and they have left me brain rattled for day, not being able to see straight and slurred speach for days. I used to take up to 2 grams at a time when i had my first and heaviest drug habit. This was when i was 14 and 15

facepalm*

i have had enough experience, met enough people, and gathered enough evidence to not wanna take that stuff again.

The after glow is something which really seems to differ from person to person. The day after my last 1g trip I was seemingly able to think faster than normal. I was sorting change as I would be heading home back from england a few days and I was able to sort it much faster than I normally would. For me dxm is a useful tool in thinning the ego while still being able to have a foot in this reality. The afterglow for me is just as meaningful and important as the experience itself as it's then I'm able to make sense of what I've experienced the night before and integrate it into my normal life.

Dxm definitely can induce very delusional states but I believe this tends to be when you start approaching sigma doses through redosing. 1g solid dose is a very clean experience although it can be difficult to remember all details. Dosing 800 followed by 400 induced a very manic delusional state which i can definitely see as potentially dangerous and much more difficult to take anything from the experience.

I've had a complete turn around in my life brought about from dosing dxm on occasion and so has a friend of mine with a very similar background. Maybe it has something to do with different brain chemistry as I've also tripped with people who were completely unable to have an enjoyable experience and did not seem to have any of the effects that I seem to have.

It's good you decided to stop dosing it when you realised it was having a detrimental effect on your mind / life. Maybe I too will have this insight one day but I really believe that if everyone experienced the same effects that I do on it, it could be world changing.

My experience last night was very positive, it allowed me to sort out some of my memories.

I'm one of the people that loves DXM, but is afraid to take it because of what affects it may have on my brain.

At the moment, my vision is blurry, my muscles feel strange and my entire body is vibrating.

I apologize, I've removed the curse words.

I should've edited it before posting everything raw in my altered state of mind.

You may also want to edit your post to correct the spelling of "dextromethorphan".

Thanks, I noticed this morning that the title was miss-spelled, I must've forgotten about checking the thread.

Heh, I remember my DXM days. It was the first drug I that I "tripped" off of. I was drinking entire "family sized" bottles of CVS Max Strength Cough back when I was 16. I would get disassociated out of my mind.

Then there was one silly trip I had freshman year of college. I drank four beers. Then 2 grams of mushroom tea. Then I drove to Walgreens (protip, don't drive like I did). I got a thing of Waltussin which I drank in the parking lot. I drove home and felt all nauseous and what not. I laid around for 30 minutes. Then I tried to smoke some weed which made me vomit all over the kitchen. Then I smoked a bowl of DMT. Needless to say, I broke through.

Looking back, I had some good times. But I doubt I'll ever do DXM again. It has been at least 2 years since I've touched the stuff, and I have no desire to go back to it. There are much cleaner and healthier ways to trip. DXM just sounds so dirty now.

I remember back in highschool I was drinking cough supressent... Never again tho, its just all bad news. I would take half a pack of cordicin and that always did it, be going to Physical Ed and have a blast. But im done with that substance. I need to keep my liver I kinda need it lol

IMO the only substances that should be taken for insight should be true psychedelics which are either tryptamines ,lysergamides or some phenetylamines .Dissociatives aren't kewl at all ! The only thing other than cannabis and psychedelics that a man should enjoy is a home brewed morphine but people tend to stay away from it because they are frightened of his bigger cousin

Well, as you said, that's your opinion. Other people are free to have their own. Personally I'm not a fan of either, but I would take certain dissociatives over morphine (extracted or otherwise) any day.

And why do you think that? I could just as well say the only drugs that should be used for introspection are alcohol and cigarettes and all other drugs aren't kewl at all. You're treating dxm the same way many people treat all psyches.

Right now in this thread I see people talking from first hand experience although mostly reckless use like tripping on Coricidin, mixing it with alcohol and seemingly using it to just get fucked up as is all too common with DXM and is the reason it's gotten such a bad rep.

Most people experience DXM through drinking cough syrup which is often loaded with other active and dangerous chemicals aswell as large amounts of artifical sweeteners - It's no suprise when I hear people talk about how dirty it feels or how nauseous they'll get.

I recommend that before damning this chemical, you look into it and research it.

I personally find dxm to be a very clean feeling drug on my body to the point where it almost feels natural. There's studies looking into the neuroprotective properties of DXM. and so far (atleast since I last read about it) studies show that DXM shows no damage to the liver or kidneys.

Don't take my word for it and look into it yourself but it's just bothersome to see ignorance towards dxm from psychedelic users as I'd have thought that after learning the truth about the so many lies regarding LSD, Mushrooms or DMT and their 'dangers' that one would also look into the danger claims regarding dxm.

Sorry if I come across as directly challenging but I owe a lot to DXM in its pure form and so do several other people I know.

This.

Robogels give me a very clean trip, in fact, it was one of the cleanest trips I've experienced out of the above-noted substances.

DXM has allowed me to delve into my past to come to terms with certain events I otherwise would've just kept bottled up. It's also an awesome introspective relaxant.

I looked into it again and there are potential risks with dxm but most seem to stem from the bromine molecule added. I'm sure there's easy enough ways to convert the molecule from hbr to citrate or something. I'll say it again, People should look into it before they try it and should look into it before they don't try it.

It's cool to hear that you've also experienced the potential of dxm. It's allowed me to break the thought patterns that were keeping me depressed. It's also brought up repressed memories and allowed me to deal with them and I experienced my first ever 'death' on dxm which changed my life forever as I had to deal with the thoughts that surround death and getting a glimse of what lies after.

I can understand its potential for abuse as its body high is truly something else.

Anyone dropping in able to give any clarity to my thoughts on a conversion process?

Starting with pre dxm HBR adding it to a water - ammonia solution to convert it to dxm freebase, pulling with naptha, evaporating the solvent and adding to citric acid solution to produce dxm citrate? Am I right on this? Once I achieve a dxm citrate solution what would be the best way to extract the dxm citrate? evaporating? I'm guessing that'd leave me with a fair amount of citric acid left in the mix.

Here's a link to a thread on the nexus by the nexian Hyperspace Fool that breaks down DXM in a thoughtful way and proves the point that it can be a useful dissociative/psychedelic when used in a thoughtful way:

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (DXM Redux)

All dissociatives seem to carry more risks than the typical psychedelics, especially in regards to the chance of addiction, but I think they can be useful vehicles to the nether regions of the psyche if used with the extra precautions.

Anyway, check out the linked thread, it has some extremely useful information from, IMO, one the nexus' more experienced travellers.
