DXM 180mg hbr + weed trip report

8:10 PM: packed a bowl and smoked it. around this time, also hit the pen a few times, and a couple hits of nic vape

10:30 PM: Took 180mg DXM hbr in the form of 12 gelcaps, 15mg each. They were a generic store pharmacy brand of gelcaps, but I made sure to get the kind that contained only dxm and no other active ingredients. If you’re going to do dxm, don’t do it if there’s acetamenophin or guafinesin in whatever you’re taking because it can actually kill you, and it is not pleasant to OD on acetamenophin. Before taking the dxm I took one pill of otc dramamine to combat any nausea. The amount I took should get me to a high first plat, *maybe* a low second plat, or at least so says the dosage calculators. I’ve not done much Hbr in my past, I usually used to do freebase pills and occasionally poli (Delysm). I hadn’t done dxm in over a year now, I know it caused me a bunch of problems in my past, but for some reason lately this past week I’d just been craving it for some reason. Honestly in the past few days I’d just been fiending to get fucked up. And now, I’ve finally done it, i’ve taken my first-second plat dose and I’m waiting for it to kick in. I will try and update every hour. Also note I’ve never combined dxm and weed before, so will see if it’s any different. Also If I end up falling asleep will continue to update in the morning or whenever I wake up.

11:30 PM: Don’t notice any signifigant effects. Bit of a headache. Am lying in bed was watching some youtube videos.

12:00 AM head pounding a bit but it’s not intese pain. Just kind of a headache a bit dizzy/disoreinted bit spinny rooms spinny

12:40 AM head hurts, dizzy. This isn’t like the previous times i’ve done dxm, it’s not kickin in as hard, though to be fair I used to do freebase at higher doses and at that time I was also on abilify and lithium. Gonna try and lie down close my eyes cuz my head hurts

3am: wakw up tripping can barely type tbis. CEV’s and body heavy, dizzy visual snow room spinning. mild nausea. Feel like am on low second plat Obviously no ones awake cuz its 3am and idk

3:22 AM: I realize i mustve slept thru the peak of the trip as it’s 3am. I don’t mnow if i ever slept or if ive just been laying here in my own head my thoughts are blunted and despite the dozziness nausea and weird statitc snow visuals, it’s working to makw me not fee emotions. still tripping. hard to type

I cant belive i used to be such a dexhead that id go places like id go grocery shopping w frens back in college while off the dxm. Cant belsiwv it. This shit sucks theres way better drugs oit there this aint it

Dont really feel that cold but am shaking shivering

4am: texted a friend who was up at this hour, probably not about anytning super important. im still in the dextroverse but i think maybe im slowly comin down. There’s still visual snow and a jelly-like state about the air and atmosphere around me. I took like a 2nd plat dose and I’ll edit this trip report for more coherency and grammar once am sober

Dxm is bad trips not mentally. Mentally its pretty good but the body high is awful. Dizy and nausea spinning

4:23am: read some online calvin and hobbes comics. i never read those as a kid before but i feel like i can really understand them better somehow while trippin

4:43am: The comedown is the best part, honestly.

5AM: Still tripping, coming down. Compared to the overwhelming love and joy of a (good) mushroom trip, and compared to the depression and lonelieness i feel in my daily life, this is kinda true neutral. i feel nothing, numb. slighly optimistic tho. dont feel depressed atm. dont feel happy either.

5:40 AM: slowwwlllyyyyyy coming down. i try eating a couple spicy chips (carolina realer cheeto) to see if i can still taste, as sense of taste is often greatly diminished on dxm. The cheetos taste bland, and i feel the heat of the spice but no flavor. Sad.

6AM: less dizzy. head hurts less but still barely hurts a little bit just mildly annoying. The room stopped spinning. Am chillin on the couch, no one else awake yet

7AM: don’t think i’m still tripping, i feel a bit faded but it might be the afterglow or just general me being zooted. The sun is rising

1PM : pupils finally went back to normal size

Thoughts: Dxm fucking sucks. I felt a weird emotion that felt like how a chemical smells. Weird and numb and unable to feel anything. Awful body load. Why would you ever do dxm if you can do anything else. Nostalgia is a liar

[mrsmarlasinger]

FUCK Robotabs. I'm genuinely sick rn, but I accidentally got high and now we 🫥😶‍🌫️🫠😐

[sad-little-ellie-once-more]

not being able to get alcohol and not wanting to run into the same cashier buying 2 bottles of cough syrup in the same week has lead to some decisions only I'm allowed to make, I repeat, only I'm allowed to do this

so I bought a big box of mucinex dm max strength, and am taking 14 pills per trip, they're huge btw, totalling 840mg of dxm hbr and a WHOPPING 16,800mg of guaifenesin, apparently my stomach rejects any alcohol that isn't vodka but sucks guaifenesin right up, but if you go against the rules don't be suprised when you're throwing up horribly

[tussive]

That said I've yet to try the freebase. I've been curious but haven't really gotten around to it. The HBr has been leaving me wiped out for days after (usually about two) so I haven't really been able to fit DXM into my schedule very easily. I heard the freebase has a lighter body load so I'm curious if that would help any.

[erikaqueenpauline]

I don't know whether to be pleased or terrified. Delsym has a new product that pops out the foil like coricidin or Mucinex , but has no extra added ingredients, no gross expectorant like Mucinex, no horrifying (IMO) antihistamine like Triple C's, pure dextromethorphan hydrobromide, not extended release, the only other product like this is Robitussin gel tabs or the wags knockoff version, this is huge news to me. pure dxm hbr pills, I'm kinda shocked. like are they catering to the abusers who use it to trip, i mean they HAVE TO KNOW over at Delsym corporation that a large percentage of their product is being used recreationally.

[hag-o-hags]

last weekend I went way too hard, and by Sunday night I was running on completely empty. not even partying hard, just. Ikea and redecorating and blah blah blah blah blah, in our mid-30s we ball.

all this week I've been OUT, batteries dead, zero energy, can't brain for shit, plus Mon/Tues/Wed I have a sore throat, so I'm hitting it with alka-seltzer the first couple days, till it starts to feel better and I'm just drinking SO much tea.

Wednesday the Dizzy starts. By Thursday, I can't sit up without everything spinning, and through Sunday, I have to be flat on my back. Getting up to feed the creachurs is exhausting, disorienting, and generally miserable, let alone feeding myself. Dramamine does nothing. Also, super bonus, my body fucking hurts because I can't move!

Surprise, this is exactly what getting over La Rona felt like, except I don't have La Rona.

Since November I've been sort of operating on yes, this is still LongTallShortFatCovid in the absence of enough data to officially diagnose it, so let's just behave like it's ME/CFS and see what happens. So, supine on the sofa on Sunday, I'm trying to figure out if Gentle Stretches™ are a good or bad idea with post-exertional malaise (the hallmark ME/CFS symptom that I am pretending I know I have for reasons of science). Because, again, I am stiff and sore and I fucking ache.

I know that unfortunately there's a LOT of anecdata and not much hard review around symptom relief, but I also know there's quite a lot of people trying to figure out what works. One person's dribbly candles and magic circles and stuffed crocodile hanging from the ceiling and 13 other chronically ill people chanting the universe's esoteric and black history leads to another person's 4 cc of mouse blood and three small sticks.

I found a blog with a good enough balance of science vs multiple personal experiences that it felt worth digging into -- also Gentle Stretches™ probably not gonna make PEM worse, thank god, sitting yoga ahoy. Some people found NSAIDs or steroids helped them to recover, but the really interesting one to me was a couple very very very small studies about Dextromethorphan Hbr, an OTC cough suppressant.

That tinged a tiny little ding in my foggy jelly brain, and I rooted around like a drunk opossum until I found the alka-seltzer box in the recycling. (Coulda looked this up online. But again, jelly brain.) The cough suppressant is DXM Hbr. And it's got aspirin. I'd been taking a little ibuprofen all week because Ache, so it wasn't necessarily the NSAID. But when I phased out the cough suppressant, that's when the dizzy started.

It's just a correlation, I've got n=1 here. I know that. But I took a standard dose of OTC cough syrup (DXM Hbr and guaifenesin -- no NSAIDs), and in a couple hours I could get up, and walk around the yard and water the plants, despite being kinda dizzy. I started some laundry. I kept taking it just according to the directions yesterday, and today, for the first time in an ENTIRE WEEK, I can think enough to write, I can go upstairs without needing to sit after, and I'm a little lightheaded but I'm not stumbling.

Placebo is a thing of course, but also, Dramamine couldn't touch this, even though it helped last time. Day by day it was getting worse, not better, and I was laying on the couch because I'd finally managed to finish a shower but I couldn't be upright any more afterward.

(All shower euphoria is erased when I gotta sit flopped on the ground towing the faucet hose around my head and trying not to blast my eyeballs out.)

I have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday. I'm really lucky -- she's been great thus far, and takes me seriously when I say wacky things like I HAVE AN HYPOTHESIS REGARDING THESE SYMPTOMS, CAN WE LOOK INTO THEM. ("Yes and also would you like a referral to get spayed").

That being said, Saturday morning, I cried and cried, feeling like I had to hold onto the sofa to not fall off, because I'm scared and frustrated and angry and grieving. Grief is probably the worst because right now I don't know what I've lost. If I've lost anything. If this is real, if it's going to pass, if I'm panicking ... or if this is my life. Other disabilities have taken things from me -- doors that get closed and then bricked over. This feels like I could get shut in one room forever, like. Yes you, the Stress Powered Engine, who lives for pushing eustress as close to distress as you possibly can for fun and profit! Doing that will now hit you like a semi at highways speeds!

Or, I could recover. I don't have the data to know.

“the xr stuff bonded to plastic” in terms of DXM it’s actually Delsym that gave me the “prettiest” visuals, but that shit is disgusting. I actually don’t mind the taste but I mean what it does to your intestines. I don’t understand people who have a preference for polistirex over HBr or freebase for that reason.

[gorey]

well today is actually a good day we had a lovely time with our neighbors in the yard and now we got some chipotle. and we managed to jack a bottle of dxm hbr pills which on their own this kind at least aren't very strong BUT we have some potent Belgian ale to pair with them so it's looking like we're gonna have a pretty fun evening. party boy momentz

[practicalsolutions]

The closest thing to a hard reset a human has got is about 15mg DXM HBr (x20) and a really long nap.

[sexhaver]

ive tripped with dxm (cough syrup/dextromethorphan hbr pills, technically those are triple c tho) and ever since i switched to the syrup i get sick as FUCK. never do dxm it may be fun but you spend hours in front of the toilet unable to walk right while you dissociate like hell

don’t they specifically put some shit in there that makes you nauseous to discourage people from doing exactly this

[baedlyweathered]

ive paid for dxm like once or twice maybe, only the hbr pills since poli is p easy to find

[mrsmarlasinger]

I changed my DXM break from seven weeks to eight because I was craving it way too much and I wanted to push my self-control a little more. (I wanna eventually push my usual break up to 3+ months anyway.) The instant I made that decision, I stopped constantly counting down to my next robotrip and was like...meh. So that was good.

But my partner and I made plans next weekend, which would've been the eight-week mark, so if I don't do it this weekend, I won't be able to do it until next year, and I really wanted to trip at Christmastime. And as soon as I realized I'd have to move it up again, I was like :/ well now I don't even wanna.

Am I still going to do it? Yes. Because this always happens to me. The farther I get from my last robotrip, the less I crave it, until the day finally comes and I don't even feel like doing it anymore. But then I still end up enjoying my trip.

Anyway, all this to say that tonight, I wanna test out my post-antibiotic tolerance with 90mg HBr, because I have work off tomorrow since my trainer will be out of town. And since I've been so abnormally sensitive to all my other substances, I have NO idea what's going to happen. I have (had?) a dex tolerance and 90mg is super super low, so I shouldn't feel it unless something is fucky.

In which case I do not think I will be doing over half a gram this Friday, like I did last time.

Btw, I do continue to feel the devastating weight of the fact that abusing cough medicine is so cringefail.

[m318x2]

i so badly wanna chug that 4oz delsym but ive never done poli and therefore have no clue how long it will last and ive heard it can last up to 20 hours, even 30 if its a wicked high dose

which means if i take it now theres a chance i could still be high in front of my family during dinner tomorrow,,,

i wish i had this delsym when i had the house to myself for a few days last year. but idk if there's any time soon that ill get the house to myself again and i dont think i can reasonably clear a 20 hour window to trip without being bothered :/

ive got insomnia, have for basically my whole life and my parents are aware that if it gets particularly bad i just straight up dont sleep for 24-48 hours at a time and then crash and sleep for like 14+ hours

so potentially i could pretend to not sleep or not sleep for real and then pretend to crash but actually trip in my room instead. only problem there is id have to "crash" early so i could dose while my parents are still awake but not have them bother me, but i usually have to use the bathroom several times before i peak, and usually once more towards the end. idk if i still will with poli but i have a feeling the syrup will give me the shits like gels and robocough do, in which case my parents will know im still awake and likely wonder why im using the bathroom so much and possibly try to talk to me, in which case im busted because i straight up cannot speak when im tripping, i can barely form words and it feels like i have to force my mouth to do the thing,,

ugh i just fuckin wish i could find a way to be alone for like a day

i mean i can handle afterglowing around people and still appear sober its just a question of how long im actually high high. because i dont recover my ability to speak until the actual trip is over and im just afterglowing

but ive also heard that poli is more psychedelic so maybe that means if i just take half the bottle, 222mg hbr equivalent, maybe i could still talk.

UGHHH i shouldve just gone to walgreens im pretty sure they have gel caps

i might just go to walgreens tomorrow and see if they have hbr gel caps, that way i can def trip before vacation. target didn't have anything that was dxm only besides the delsym :/

also the best trip ive ever had wasnt even with robocough or robotabs, it was with assured cough gel caps. i shit like a mf and then i was laying half on my bed with my feet on the floor n i felt like that one anti-weed psa video where the kid is flat on the couch like a deflated balloon. and i was just in a different fucking world, i only took 300mg that time but it felt like the best 3rd plat dose ive ever had. ive literally done 900mg of robocough and it wasnt as good as that trip.

and i think walgreens carries assured cough relief, or at least some other type of generic dxm only gel caps

[erikaqueenpauline]

dextromethorphan abuse, where do I start? it's NOT a hallucinogen people get confused bc it takes you on a 'trip', but it's a dissociative trip, dxm is a dissociative anasthetic. similar to ketamine. purportedly somewhat similar to pcp but I have no first hand experience w that substance. this is the cough suppressant ingredient in many OTC products, such as Mucinex, Delsym, Robitussin, Coricidin. LAMES who don't know wtf they're doing might use a product such as NyQuil and end up with a terrible experience (you'll be fucked up but probably not how you want) due to extra active ingredients such as doxylamine. BEST BET is to use a dxm product that contains only dextromethorphan as it's active ingredient. unfortunately almost all Robitussin or generic syrups now contain guaifinesin, as does Mucinex. this ingredient is not necessarily harmful to you but it does cause some side effects. FIRST I gotta say everyone reacts differently to different drugs, many people who i have taken on their first robo trip to said 'oh I don't like this, never again'. it's not for everyone. it's a very different, specific kind of high that only a small population really understand and appreciate. that being said, another peculiarity of this drug is that you experience a very different effect when you increase the dosage. it's described as 4 'plateaus' you can read about that somewhere else I'm not going to explain in depth, but a small dose - body mass does come into account - say 237mg (one 4oz tussin bottle) will feel a certain way, but if you doubled that to 474 (8oz tuss or two 4s) you would experience a completely different high, like it were another drug entirely. through my own experimentation I'd say first plateau is kinda like ecstasy, music sounds awesome you feel lifted and joyful and energized (provided you didn't take a product w all kinds of other active shit in it). 2nd and 3rd I was never really able to distinguish into two types of high, but basically at some point (depending on body weight) you increase the dose and you edge over into DISSOCIATIVE territory, guestimate somewhere around 400mg for most people would be like a 2nd/3rd plateau dissociative trip. this is typically what I aim for in my personal use (mind you I have 10yrs experience w this drug and high tolerance), is a high 3rd plateau trip space (for me 600 to 900 mg). you will feel anaesthetized physically and emotionally, like a comforting balm that takes away all feelings. this high is not for everyone. I LIKE being detached from reality off in Tussin Space like a robot a machine a skeleton no emotion, and it's a long-ass high too! dxm hydrobromide (hBr) which is in tussin takes an hour after you drink/ingest it to kick in and you'll probably be pretty high for at least 4 hours, maybe 6. that's for a noob. what I typically ingest is either Delsym syrup (dxm polistirex an extended release form of the drug) or Mucinex pills which are extended release as well, meaning I am high for 8 to 12 hours off one dose of 600 to 900mg. HOWEVER, I abuse the fuck out of this drug and take it as a coping mechanism for my depression and anxiety and just feelings period, so I typically use 1500 to 2000mg per day, redosing before I come down and staying dissociated/anaesthetized for 2-3 days at a time with no sleep often forgetting to eat or not having an appetite at all. SUPER bad for you, I've had all kinds of complications w my body from dxm abuse, do not do what I do and become psychologically (and physically) dependent on it to escape life. trust me you don't want this. I will elaborate in a later post on some of my field research w long term dxm abuse, but for the purposes of this post well goddam Tumblr fuckin up on my long ass post, tbc next time...

[iyadiad]

where u get them drugs im not the feds i promise

not to be a cheapo but i legit just buy cough medicine from cvs bc the active ingredient (dextromethorphan hbr) is a dissociative anaesthetic with semi-psychadelic properties similar to ketamine and stuff but only w dxm as the active ingredient

i also go to the smoke shop and get nitrous canisters and hit those when im on the dxm and its trippy af 

weed im sometimes able to get from some ppl i know and then when i move houses id be buying mdma online most likely

also if u the feds everything i have rn i bought legally anyway so eyes emoji 

[rustedskyprisms]

I’m wondering if I can order a couple of bottles of DXM next month (freebase and HBr, yes they do feel different) and see if I’m able to practice self control. I’m not going to use at all next month; I don’t want to use it again until at least November or December. This is probably a really bad idea though.
