Experiences - The Day After - DXM Hangover Experiences and how to deal with hangovers?

[Curtains]

One thing i can't stand when doing 3rd level trips on DXM the whole next day just feeling completely zoned out and not wanting to do a damn thing. Anyone got an fixes for this?

[WhiteRyan]

Dont use ? or vitamins, minerals, B complex

[Tony Blair]

Your question was "How do you deal with ur DXM Hangover"

Answer: Stay in bed.



If you meant to ask "How do you stop DXM Hangovers",

Answer: (and you dont want to hear this) : Don't do it.

[MorbidFantasy]

I really don't mind DXM hangovers. They make me really peaceful and relaxed.

[pacamohu]

Work at a place where they play techno or trance music all day. It's like a
introduction to the regular world. You feel very relaxed and slowly edged
in to sobriety. Otherwise hang out with people you really like being with,
aka family, good friends, or listen to good music.

for some people, it's not a hangover, it's an afterglow...


i never get hangovers, i always feel GREAT after a DXM trip.

YEa Swim and his Dexter(Dexter is the groups name of DXM) buddys all called it an afterglow...Swim and his buddy's really enjoyed smoking cannabis on the afterglow as the weed is enhanced whilist on afterglow...or should I say what Swiy calls an afterglow....Oh and music is really great on afterglow.

[beizebopp]

SWIM also enjoys the afterglow, but sometimes it can be a bit too much and SWIM feels heavy headed and foggy. A good meal and some fruit helps. Or vitamins and lots of water.


SWIM would strongly recommend not using a lot of 5-HTP after a heavy DXM trip. It may lead to Serotonin Syndrome. The 'hangover' is there for a reason.

[hard2core]

I agree, we call the hangover being strout (short for strung out). I didn't like them at first but now I do see it as an afterglow. Being strout is a beautiful day full of positive emotion and vivid pleasantries. Time does tend to slip away though along with your focus. I have found that I take a Vitamin B, 25mg ephidrine, and 5-HTP afterwords and my strout straightens itself out.

[Random]

I never minded them except maybe on the long binges but youre best bet is to take a multi vitamin when you wake up

[deadinthepark]

I would think maybe 5-HTP would help, since it helps serotonin get "back on track".

Also taking more DXM will help, since it starts production of serotonin
again. Of course you may feel a lot worse afterwards. I know I've had
several freak-outs when on a three day bender on DXM.

[RoboCop]

Anyone notice for them that dxm hangovers have far more tracers than the dxm high? It is this way for me atleast. I always wake up after sleeping the day after taking dxm, and have tracers like crazy! The red numbers from my alarm clock streak across my vision as I move my head.

[Dreeker]

Yes! actually i do have a way to stop the afterglow, its pretty standard, but im pretty sure you would rather have an afterglow than this;


I only use it when i gotta go to school or work early next day and i have to drive, here it is:


Start trip:6, youll be tripping for a good 3-4 hours, then sort of kind of feel it for another 2-4.


When your vision returns to almost normal (in high doses) take a shower. Then drink like a litre of water or juice and eat a decent amount. 1 Hour before going to bed, take 1-2 shots of hard alcohol ie vodka. This will bring you 2/3 to 3/4 back into your full trip... do something for 1 hour, watch tv nething, then go to sleep





When you wake up, you should be as good as new. (Make sure to pee a lot but not poop)

[par excellence.]

I've never had a DXM hangover... on the come-down I take a tylenol, a
sleep aid, and hit the ZZZ's. When I wake up I'm so refreshed, like I
just took a relaxing vacation.

[Curtains]

u might be feeling a hangover after you do 600, i never get them when i just did a 1st or 2nd plateau trip its after a heavy 3rd plateau that you really feel it the next morning

[HippieD9]

SWIM usually does 600-1000mg and the hangovers suck. He says the best idea is to smoke a bowl and keep the drapes closed.

Personally, I usually feel great the next day. The one time I got a hangover I hadn't been drinking enough water; so remember to do that.

[40oztofreedom]

when i tried dxm i took it at midnight & when i woke up at 8:00 i was still tripping. i felt effects of it throughout the day & the more weed i smokedthat day, the more i could still feel the dxm & it was amazing.
but the next day, when i was completely straight, i got kind of sad & depressed. do you think it could be because i had so much fun while on dxm & then without it i was sad? or was it just a coincidence that i was sad the day after it wore off?

Sometimes whenever I take it late at night and end up falling asleep,
I'll still be tripping in the morning as well. Scares the hell out of
me because I wake up and my vision is all fucked and I'm not expecting
to be tripping anymore. Weed definitely seems to enhance my dxm trip as
well, especially if I smoke it on the come up. I'm not sure about the
sad feelings though. Occasionally, I'll get depressed for a while when
I am on the dxm, but I think it's more just me evaluating everything
and thinking about everything so much that I may think of things that
would make me depressed. By the way, nice name, sublime fucking rules.

SWIM has stopped using dxm lately, he took some bad XTC one night (he figures it had some sort of SSRI in it). The next night he did 345 mg robogels, and a friend did 300 mg robo's. They both had the XTC the night before and both ended up tripping for about 3 days, in this situation this was not good. SWIM didnt leave his bed till it wore off in fear this was some sort of permanent damage. Anyway thats why he suspects the E had some SSRI in it.

The whole experience really scared him away from dxm.

[Barret VII]

I wish DXM hangovers were pleasant for me. I feel like I'm low on energy, lethargic, and just generally sub-par. I usually get a lot of sleep the day after though. It also seems like the bad hangover feelings or getting shorter as I do it more times. The last DXM hangover only lasted for 1 day rather than the 3 which accompanied my first DXM trip.

[El Calico Loco]

SWIM's one 4th Plateau journey laid him out for a couple of days, but he has found that 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd Plateau trips leave him feeling good the next day. Not just mentally, but physically as well - like he's had an 8-hour low-intensity workout. He wonders whether this is an effect of the chemical or is simply due to him doing lots of moving around, stretching, and/or sitting in one position for long periods of time during the trip. Thoughts?


ECL
(He gets a little brain fog the day after 3rd plateau trips, but nothing that gets in the way of working or thinking. DXM's certainly easier on his brain and body the day after than alcohol or tobacco are.)

[Sushi]

Alf confirms - alcohol hangover is an awful experience.
Alcohol + tobbaco hangover is somewhat forgotten already as Alf stopped smoking 117 days ago. But most of his lifetime's hangovers were + ciggs always.

Now, about DXM hangovers.
1st and 2nd plateau - no hangover, just fine (no alluring effects during the trip neither, generally before dosing 450mg there was nothing interesting at all in doing DXM)
3rd plateau (555mg) - awful comedown, slightly exhausted the day after, almost imperceptible hangover followed by 2 days of general well-being
4th plateau (555mg) - scary comedown, easily discernible exhaustion and hangover followed by a series of days of more or less apparent apathy.

As swiy see same doses produced drastically dissimilar effects on the day after (and on the day of ingestion too) - and the only difference between both cases were amount of grapefruit juice drank and of smoked weed. Madlab can't say anything about chemistry really, but he can propose a psychological explanation: independently to intensity of Alf' trip, to it's visual extravaganza, and even though there were appearances of Vampire and Evil One, there was also prominent and depressing feeling of the "revelation of emptiness" at the peak of 4th plateau. Not very worrying, but combined with scary (psychotic) elements and especially compared to "simple" revelation of 3rd plateau (peace, love, connectivity, unity) it may be enough to produce unpleasant effects of a prolonged hangover.

[TheMainException]

3/4 plateau trips always get SWIY the next day. SWIY finds that the deeper she goes into herself, the more exhausting it is...it's not a hangover like alcohol where there is a headache and such, but simply physical and (slight) mental exhaustion. But for her, even pot seemed to last a long time in her body. She once was high for over 6 hours after smoking what would make anyone else high for no more than 2 hours. She seems to have stranger reactions to drugs these days which normally involve the drugs laster slightly longer than intended, DXM included. She usually feels "wacked" or in somewhat of a fog for about the same amount of time as the actual trip itself after the trip has been completed and then somewhat of a hangover the next day.

Swim did 3, 400mg trips in 2 months. Swim then, shortly after that, started noticing after a night of drug or drink that his hangover was much more intense and similar to that of a dxm trips. I havent taken dxm for over 3 months now and i still am getting these more intense hangovers after everytime i indulge in a substance(no, i am not just taking more).

i thought just not doing the drug anymore it would eventually be cleansed from my system but that doesnt seem to be the case. i feel the hangover more and i feel kinda brain dead the day after. has anyone else experienced this? when will i be able to go get drunk and still be able to go to work, etc.. the next day?
