Experiences - Bad trip?

[deadmoap]

Earlier today I took 20 robitussin cough gels, which is 300 mg of DXM.
I'm pretty sure I'm done more than this when I was tripping on cough
syrup.



But I had a bad trip. I think.



At 3:00 p.m. today, I downed a bottle of robitussin cough gels. I
didn't eat anything until 6:00 p.m. the day before, so my stomach was
as empty as empty can be. Well last time I tripped off these cough
gels, they took three whole hours to kick in. This time I was surprised
as I started feeling it after only an hour. I sat on the couch watching
the matrix for about 15 minutes, then got up to get a coke. I got up,
took a few steps, fell on my knees and said "I am tripping too hard"
and that's... just about all I remember at that time.



Then all I remember is... well I was sitting on the couch. I was
definitely getting some halucinations. The roof was gone and the sun
was shining in the house. And my house had mushrooms everywhere. Then I
remember picking something up... I don't know what it was but it was
white and looked like a tooth brush and said "ha-lu-cin-a-tion". Then I
remember sitting on my knees in the kitchen with my mom (she was my
trip sitter), while I laughed at her because she had two small heads
and looked absolutely ridiculous. Then I was slowing walking back into
the living room while saying "DXM fairy" and thinking "I'm am not doing
this, something is taking control of me, it's not my fault". Then all
of a sudden, I was 100 times smaller and I was driving my little
sister's barbie van through the living room (not in real life). I
thought it was a hippie van and I was driving around and there were
mushrooms everywhere. I finally got back to the couch.



When I started to at least become a LITTLE bit sober, yet still
trippin' my ass off... I remember my mom giving me a glass of water and
a hotdog. I took a drink from the water, but forgot how to drink so I
made my lips go all big and successfully swallowed. Then I took a bite
out of the hotdog and chewed it for a long ass time and said "How long
do I have to chew it?!", then I finally swallowed it, but I forgot how
to swallow food and started choking, then took a drink from my water.



During the end of the trip (the only part I can remember besides the
crazy dream like sequences of my living room having mushrooms
everywhere), I was basically retarded. I mean I couldn't even swallow
food. I started worrying, thinking I was going to be retarded for the
rest of my life.



Then at about 5:45, I remember sitting at the kitchen table. This whole
trip seemed just like a dream. Then I realized it wasn't a dream and
thought "ohhh shit". Then I remember sitting on the couch again...
asking my mom "What the fuck is going on? What happened? What did I do?
What did I say?" and she kept answering "Nothing you were fine". Then
through the next hour, my memory is vague but it's like I was sleeping
and kept waking up, each time asking my mom the same questions as
before.



And during the whole trip, most of my body was literally numb,
especially my mouth. That's part of the reason I couldn't swallow food,
is because I couldn't feel it. My lips were especially numb. And I kept
pinching my arms because they were numb.



Anyway, during the end of the trip, I just wanted it to end, and it had
some after effects (dizzyness) that lasted for about three hours.
That's kind of what made it a bad trip. I couldn't remember what
happened, my mom was extremely annoyed for having to put up with me
(even though I don't remember what I was doing... except giving her
hugs and telling her I love her), and I was numb. The last time I did
these gels, it took three hours to kick in and I was really hot during
the trip. They don't have anything but DXM in them but they've gave me
nothing but hell (and mushrooms in my living room ).



Do you think this could have happened because my stomach was so empty?
Maybe it was absorbed so fast that it put enough DXM in my bloodstream
to push it up to a third plateau?



Edit: one thing I forgot to mention... when I "woke up" from my "dream"
(started becoming sober), I felt like my life had no where to go. I
felt like pot was now a dissapointment. I also remember during the trip
that I started to think deeply about the point of life and kept saying
"I'm going to die in 60 years". And towards the end of the trip when I
was worrying about being stupid for the rest of my life, I kept
thinking that my life would now be pointless. And also, I was tripping
so hard, that I thought I was going to die from DXM overdose (though my
mom kept reminding me that I only had 300 mg and that's not a lot).

First i wanna say thats weird u trip with your mom... well to me... and i want to mention that that is exactly what i been saying that taking those cough gels on an empty stomach has significant differences in power... its alot stronger... i use 600 to equal 1000 and the differences were less before... cause ive taken 450 and wouldnt no what to compare it too since i only have taken at most 1000... it seems like it was prolly in that 3rd borderline 4th plateau range when i took 450 on empty stomach for first time... i have more knowledge of how i am effected so now i take it on purpose like taht... i also wanna say that when your first doing it it seems that what you should expect is alot harder to predict and gets easier as you do it more... not because u know it... but u seem to get less effects... like i feel like i only get half the effects i use too... i dont visualize as much... nor get the same music euphoria...

in summary what u experienced seems an a way normal... and might have been bad cause u just need a bit more experience... u seem like u enjoy it so just build a bit more.. and dont do the empty stomach thing for awhile... me personally i built my experiences from low to higher... and then again on an empty stomach from low to high... to see the effects so i didnt rush into to much... kinda like it was a whole new drug but the same...

hope im not to confusing this drug topic isnt the easy to explain anyways... you just gotta experience it... try to keep control and enjoy it... always remember your on drugs and will be fine soon...

It was only a bad trip because I didn't expect it. This makes me think
though... if how much food you have in your stomach affects the trip so
much, then I guess the mg/kg plateau ratios must not mean a whole lot
for what plateau you're tripping on. Or maybe it's just the gels. I've
taken cough syrup on an empty stomach (at a higher dose than the gels,
also), which you would think is faster and stronger since your stomach
doesn't have to dissolve the gelatin first, but it wasn't as intense as
this.



If this is what a third plateau is like, then I think I'll stick to a
second plateau. I always get a fun, controllable high that has really
nice after effects. I don't even know how to desribe the after effects
I usually get... my limbs are lighter and it's "easier to move".



One thing I just remembered I did... was pull my shorts up as high as
they go and spun around in a circle. I asked my mom if I did this or if
I just halucinated it and she said I really did it. How embarassing.

No third plateaus arent like that... if u do a third plateau on a not so empty stomach it will be alot better... i think it is different cause it hits you alot more all of the sudden... and i have also noticed that syrup does not do the same thing... thats weird tho cause i dont usually do anything embarassing on anything really... and even when i do go to a higher plateau its more a sit in place and trip experience... also less lighting helps your trip alot... at least i enjoy it more...

Less lighting? Hmm... I should try tripping in the dark/almost dark.



UPS should be delivering my DXM any time now...
