Health - Question about extreme DXM dosage..

[Carter]

So I got a package of pure DXM powder a while back along with a large
amount of gelcaps. My scale didn't arrive at the same time, it came about
a week later.... but in that time I did something incredibly ignorant and
irresponsible. I filled a couple of caps up for a friend and myself,
smooshing the powder down to get a somewhat equal amount in each.
We took them, had a weird night, and woke up the next day with the
familiar "day after" effect that DXM typically leaves.

We decided to do some more - a lot more, for some reason. I crammed
two caps full of as much powder as I could fit in them (these are "00" caps
so they hold a decent amount). I had made some smaller caps earlier, we
took those too. We were both conscious long enough to set-up the 5
disc CD changer.... after that, my only memories of the event are opening
my eyes and hearing The Chemical Brothers "It Began in Afrika" and
seeing trees growing above me while elephants and tigers walked by. I
then opened my eyes again and believed that I was stuck in an igloo
somewhere. Then there was nothing - absolute blackness - and I came
to, out of what I can only describe as a comatose state.

It's approaching a year since that happened and I've only taken DXM a few
times, each time being a terrible experience. I also got my scale shortly
after that and tried to recreate what I made that day... the closest I've
come to remembering at all measures out to be a little over a gram.
Close to what Erowid lists as the known fatal dosage.

So my question is this... I have given the DXM a few months break now,
but I am concerned that my mind has "been ruined" on the stuff as the
only result from doing it in the time since has been me spacing out for
about 20 minutes and then waking up in the morning feeling like trash.
After giving my mind and body a break from it for a while, should I try it
again?

[Toxicity]

Well you're right, that was incredibly ignorant and irresponsible, and
as for your question, if you think you already ruined your brain, why
not ruin it some more...

[Curtains]

erowid does not list a little over a gram death.....2.5g's ur at risk of death. there is many of us here that have done over a 1gram. How much were u doing when u spaced for 20min and passed out?if u want to try dxm again work urself up first trip at 250mg and then 500mg and then 750mg and if u want go up to ag.....personally my favorite trips are around 750mg but some people prefer dxm at a lower stage

Irresponsibility like that is why drugs get fuckin scheduled

[Carter]

At least I realize that it was irresponsible. Many people don't.

As for the dosages of my caps since then, I've tried to stay around
500mg... once or twice doing about 700mg. I didn't get the body buzz
like I did before and the little signs that the trip was beginning never
really became apparent. I would just space out, couldn't really focus on
anything, didn't get any visuals or have any weird thoughts such as being
a part of the floor or being shorter because I took my feet off. I would
just go blank, fall asleep, maybe wake up during what was probably the
peak and find myself completely lost where everything was uninteresting.

The times I did were also in a new setting with people I am unfamiliar and
uncomfortable doing any substances around because they are typically
negative people. So perhaps a more fitting setting for the next time will
suit better. The friend I always tripped with is no longer around here,
though... so that might affect it, we always fed off each other's trip.

Anyways, I think the next time I try it I will make a smaller dosage closer
to 300mg. Has anyone here experienced a type of sustained tolerance to
DXM where you do a certain amount regularly to where smaller doses
don't produce any effects?

For each plateau you do, it takes a week for your tolerance to go back to normal.



For example, if you take like 300mg and get to the 2nd plateau, it will take you two weeks.

holy shit i tried 650mg of that shit and i thought i was never going to be 'normal' again interesting kind of high,butbecomes a bit too much at higher doeses Edited by: dr ACE

[Dreeker]

i have done 1.7 grams which wasnt nearly as bad as when i did .5 grams then .5 grams 4 hours later when i had my seizure


I like to do around 500 or redose with 300 so 300 + 300 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 500


redosing is the way to go imo


But you should start low again, and drink orange juice it makes the onset a lot smoother.





But i think i can say this, after one or 2 VERY BAD times (such as my seizure and one time when i went blind) the trips ARE different, their not as magical, hard to describe, but they feel more rough and not as pleasent and special as before, esp as when i first started out, CHERISH your first 10 or so GOOD trips!





Good luck and have fun. stay safe tho

i started out with 300mg then the next day i did 300 mg...then a couple
weeks later i did 680 mgs..which was incredible..i went blind saw a fan
turn into a spider...scared me a bit...but i calmed myself down

[Carter]

Well I popped a 350 mg cap about an hour and a half ago and all I'm
getting is some visual distortion... that's about it.

[Carter]

It ended up being quite nice actually. It definitely wasn't overwhelming at
all, but I could close my eyes and see some things and generally felt
good.
