How often do you DXM?

[León]

How often do you guys usually take DXM and at what dosage?

For me, its either every 1-2 weeks and im working my way up from 250-300mg.

Do you think its still considered safe if you did it every week?

[Xusk]

Not often at all...to much after effects like baggy eyes. But one should only do it once or twice a month no matter the dosage. Put's a toll on your body.

But 250-300mg actually does something? Man wish it was the same for me, must always do 700mg+ for any effects.

[BasicallyASaint]

300MG and you will be feeling something.

With those doses you are fine at the rate you are at. Although 4 times a month could be considered much, prehaps a bit to much ny the standards of this board / general DXM faq's, at 250-300 I would not worry anymore then I would worry about smoking ciggs or drinking.

Stop doing anything if you begin feeling / noticing negative side effects. It's really that simple.

Last time i did 240mg, and then took 60mg an hour later after the 240mg kicked in, i laid in bed and listened to some DJ Tiesto, and it felt like i was floating on a wave and i had 'light' visualizations when i closed my eyes.

Can you go into more detail about the DXM's toll on your body?

Things like Onley's Lesions (NMDA Antagonist Neurotoxicity)

Really should research before takeing any drug.

[León]

Yeah i skimmed through that article before. What i am wondering is how would you know whether you might be suffering from Onley's Lesions.

[gabelikesdxm]

I try to trip of dxm every week or two, last time I tried dxm, it was a 700 milligram dose, man that was nuts, everyone could tell just by looking at me that I was tripping, lol

[freak in cage890]

I did DXM four times in one week with about 700 mgs every time. I then did more research on it and learned that was a bad idea and quit for about a month. When I decided to do it again, I got caught stealing it. I then decided stealing was a bad idea. So i stayed off it for two more weeks. When I came around to do it again I learned that I can function atleast somewhat on a basic level at around 600 mgs. Around 800 or 900 is what I take to get the effects of my first DXM trip. I take it like once a month now.

I haven't done shrooms or acid yet and that's what got me into DXM. The only time I did shrooms they didn't work and I later learned I got ripped off. When I finally got ahold of acid it was stolen from me and the kid who stole it went to rehab the very next day so I didn't get a chance to get back. Just my luck.

As I said, about once a month is all you should do. Maybe twice but don't make it a routine drug.

[thermal]

Only done it once, don't have a real desire to do it again (a night of dxm is like 3-4 time more $ than a night of 2ci). I may do it again, but I'd run an extraction instead of drinking 2 bottles of tussin again.

[Simpson5774]

Its random for me but I try to get a 700mg trip in once a month.

[KXT]

I Trip on DXM when I really FEEL like it.
Its usually at least a month between trips.
I did aquire a couple grams of pure DXM and went on a four day DXM binge, which was about 4 grams of DXM.
Awesome times.

But besides that I am always very careful and ahve my trips perfectly planned. I space them out to make them special.. Fuck I LOVE DXM.
Another trip for me is due actually.

[Quoth the Raven]

Normally less than once a month.. I mean, I usually have other (and IMHO better) drugs to take. DXM is alright if you can't get hold of some decent shrooms or RCs, but I definitely extract every time I do it (normally in the region of 900-1400mg). Chugging that much tussin would be HIDEOUS.

[false]

I trip on average about once every 4-5 months. I don't love dxm and I really have to be in the right mood to do it. It's not something that's like OMFG THIS IS AMAZING!!! so its no problem controlling it.

[Closet Grower]

Shit, I use to do up in the 600 mg's region like 2 times a week.

Now I do a 900mg trip every couple of months. Whenever I feel like it.

[UaToRA]

I limit myself to once a month, but it's much less than that. Maybe once every two or three months, doing anywhere from 300mg to 1000mg. Whatever I feel like.

[León]

Hmm, so far i am doing it 2 times a month, perhaps in the region of 250-400mg. Im not sure if this is from DXM or not, but sometimes i'd be talking and id forget words that i would be trying to say..

Could just be a poor memory man ;)
Try cutting out the DXM, see if it improves. If not, try some ginkgo biloba (yeah, I'm a trainee naturopath).

[France]

Onley's Lesions are probably not real, but I know I wouldn't take the chance.

[T-Wrecks]

William white retracted the olney legion article after it was shown to be a near non occurance in humans.

I haven't dexed for maybe a year or two but I've done probobly more then anyone is this forum has fathomed. 2500mg at once, 1.5g a day binges I've definately done waaaay too much of that shit. I've survived 30mg/kg then again I don't care if I live or die so don't do stupid shit such as myself.

Also watch what you take, other medications can markedly effect how dextromethorphan effects your body and mind. Its a relatively safe drug, but, if you take it often it will effect your cognitive abilities.(moving, walking, muscles, memory).

Im not gonna tell anyone what to do other then to be safe.

[ShamanSTK]

Pure DXM is not a terrible thing to take, but the syrup that cough medicine is made of is hard on your pancreas and kidneys. The DXM itself isn't great for your liver either. I would not recommend doing it more than once a month, and if you're a heavy drinker, I wouldn't recommend doing it at all. Be a man and eat a mushroom.

[Myth]

Back when I was using DXM a lot, I would dose upwards of 600-2000mg per dose. I haven't dexed for about a year or two, because the last time I did it, I consumed 4g, and it was insanely hellishly intense.

[T-Wrecks]

Yea "be a man and eat a mushroom" doesn't really make sense, they are two entirely different buzzzes, typically DXM in a high dose blows mushrooms out of the box, I mean seriously, I've tripped harder on DXM then mushrooms can even touch.

[ShamanSTK]

Of course if you take X000 mg of DXM you're going to trip heavier than you would on an eighth of shrooms. And they are two different kinds of buzzes, but I try not to put dangerous amounts of chemicals in my body. Erowid lists risk of death for DXM as low 2,500 mg. If thats a risk you're willing to take, then go for it lol

[ShiZzO_8]

chugging robo is some pretty nasty stuff...but nobody does it for the taste....if you can handle the nastiness in your stomach the nausea will soon pass...all in all...i love DXM.....have a good time and be safe...

[juice]

Twice a week. Wednesday and Saturday. A little under a gram each night.

I don't think I have gone over two times a week and I space it out so I am not flooding my system constantly.

Olney's Lesions were also discredited. Please don't be saying things that are now false.

If you can handle DXM, do it. It's quite a different substance. I toss on some music, play some games until the cloudy head, smoke some weed and then I lift off. It's also great in small groups.

[MonkeyBrains]

I'd say over the past 6 or so months I've done it on average once a month.

Although I think I'm gonna stop spending my money on it and wait to get something like mushrooms, salvia, or acid. What with not having a job and all.

Last time I bought DXM the casher looked up at me when she was ringing up the two bottles of Delsym and was like "that's good stuff". I wasn't sure if she was serious and was a dexer herself (although she was an older woman and didn't look the type) or she was making fun of me for getting high on cough syrup by being sarcastic. I think the latter. I didn't say anything back though because it kinda caught me off guard.

[Dosed]

I used to do it once a week back when it was my drug of choice, but eventually it started to wear me out. The problem I had with DXM is that your tolerance goes up fairly quickly and takes a long time to go down; I could dose 300mg and not feel a thing, wait a month, dose 300mg again and it'd still have no effect. I also noticed that high doses of DXM would leave me drained for up to 2-3 days after the initial trip, which was not fun.

Dissociatives are one of the most neurotoxic class of drugs out there so you really have to be in tune with your body's natural state so you can identify any problems before they get out of hand.

[MonkeyBrains]

The first couple times I did DXM I was really enegergized the next day. But the last few times when I've been doing higher doses I've ended up being tired the next day. Is that because it acts as a stimulant at lower doses but not at higher?

[Oreo Donut]

I had been doing it far too much but now I'm quitting for good while so that when I do it again it will be more enjoyable. I developed an addiction, I must admit. Every other day or so, if not more sometimes, for like, the last month. Then all of a sudden I got this feeling in me that told me I needed to cut that shit out.

[juice]

For some reason, when I quit long ago and tried to dose a few months later, I had a badass tolerance. I think the tolerance might grow when you stop dosing, but I also dosed with the gelcaps, so that might have been another problem.
