 First DXM trip from Buckley's Cough Syrup

I'm relatively new to the psychedelia scene. My first experience was with acid, though I had smoked weed before but it wasn't as profound as acid, shrooms and DXM.
My first trip with half tab of acid was a horribly bad one, my setting kept changing and my mind was freaking out during the trip, but I kept my cool throughout the night though. The trip was so harsh that I became really depressed for a while because I have uncovered many nasty revelations about myself, the world and even God. But after a while, I was glad that I had a bad trip as my first one because it showed me the great power it had in changing a man's perception of everything.
My next trip was with shrooms, this was a great trip! I saw Sin City, Kung Fu Hustle, and Half Baked while tripping off 3g of shrooms and I thought the movies were so EPIC, especially Kung Fu Hustle (though many people who saw it sober thought it was so stupid and corny). The trip left me feeling pretty good and opened the doors to the world of psychedelics for me.
Both of the trips were during Summer of 2005. Now it's October and I just had my first DXM experience 2 nights ago.
In retrospect, I think the way I initiated the trip was pretty irresponsible and I was lucky to have a great first trip on DXM. See, I was pretty depressed about school, I had my heart broken by a girl I really like just recently and I was dealing with a very bad cold. I've always told myself to be mindful of my mood and setting whenever I try psychedelics, but this time I totally disregard every rules and guidelines I've read about using psychedelics properly and just busted out my Buckley's DM Cough Syrup (which contains only DXM as active ingredient) that I bought a week earlier and wanted to wait for the right time to try it out. My roommate was also in the room, playing on the computer and has no idea about what I'm about to embark upon.
I had originally aimed for 1st plateau and there was like 12.5mg of DXM per 5 ml of the bottle. The bottle was 150 ml so I worked out the math and came to conclusion that the bottle had 350mg of DXM and I only needed about 150mg for 1st plateau. I worked out the math again and determined that I needed only 1/3 of the bottle (60ml).
I've never ever had Buckley's cough syrup or any other cough syrup before ever. I used to never have any problems with colds or any other illness. I might have what you might call a strong immune system... Whenever my family was hit with a outbreak of fever or colds, I was never affected almost everytime.
Anyway, I knew it was going to taste bad and Buckley's was no exception. But to my surprise, the syrup itself wasn't that bad tasting at all, it was just that "vicks vaporub" smell and feeling that got to me. I probably drank like 10ml before I stopped and cough like crazy from the vaporub effect. I also washed it down with a chocolate bar and diet pepsi but they didn't really work because the cough syrup covered my tongue and rendered them tasteless. So I worked up the willpower to drink the rest of the 60ml. I held my nose and chugged it. The vaporub effect had me tearing up and coughing so hard.
After that, it wasn't too bad. I only had slight sense of nausea for maybe 10 minutes. I decided to go on my computer and chat on msn for a while as I waited for the trip to start.
-Half an hour later-
I got bored with playing trippy flash animations on my computer and decided to take a shower. But before I left the room, I decided to take a little more of Buckley's because I realized that I ate a lot at suppertime (I hadn't eat anything all day) so I was afraid that the food would absorb the DXM and rob me of my trip. I'm not sure how much I drank at this point, maybe 30ml (75mg, which makes the total 225mg).
I got in the shower and when the warm water hit me in the head, I instantly felt so euphoric! My knee was starting to weaken and my whole body was goosebumping so insanely. I don't know why, but I always use showers as a source of comfort whenever I'm feeling down or whatever, so I'm thinkin maybe this is the psychological trigger (or catalyst) for my trip to start or something. I spent something like an half hour in the shower and when I was done, I felt so drunk.
I came back to the room and my roomie still doesn't suspect anything. Out of blue, I decided to take more of Buckley's. I drank half of what was left, I'm thinking maybe about 30ml (or 75mg). The vaporub effect doesn't bother me anymore. I started to robo-walk a little, this was the most funniest feeling ever! I felt like I had too many joints in my legs and I had to consciously work one joint at a time.
I just plopped down on my bed and I'm sure I was in a very awkward position but my roomie didn't even notice anything yet. I brought my laptop over my lap and fired up winamp and turned on the milkdrop plugin. The visualizations didn't really attract my attention as much as the music did. I had problems hearing the music because it sounded so far away and quiet, even though I had headphone on with volume turned waay up. I tried to focus on making music louder and then gave up for a bit.
I watched TV at this point and watched the Simpsons or Family Guy, I can't remember for sure... My memory was starting to become kooky at this point. This was also the point where I started to get double vision. I wanted to go outside and walk around a bit, but my legs felt so weird to work with at this point and I don't think I could be able to travel farther than my bed. I tried to listen to music again and to my surprise, music was practically blaring inside my head and it didn't hurt me at all at this point, but I shouldve realized that DXM has a way of making pain going away... Nevertheless, I enjoyed listening to music and it made the visualizations more interesting. I was literally stuck to the screen for a long time until my roomie finally decided to go to sleep at like 2:00am. I decided to go and get some sleep too because I felt the peak was over... But little did I know that DXM wasn't done with me yet.
I decided to take the remaining amount of Buckleys (30ml - 75mg) because I felt like that wasn't going to do me any good later on, better to take the rest now and go to sleep and dream trippy dreams.
I turned off the lights and this is where the real fun began. my vision went totally pitch black and I felt myself stumbling around, got in my bed and pulled the sheets over and turned on my mp3 player and put on my headphones.... All without my commanding it to. I felt like I was possessed! It was so effing creepy and awesome at the same time! My legs kept moving around, rubbing themselves against the sheets, and it felt so good. My euphoria kicked in bigtime! The music sounds so much better right now, it's practically massaging my brain. I tried to close my eyes and look for CEVs.
I should add a note here that visuals and hallucinations are what I've been looking for in this trip but they didn't really come until when I turned the lights off.
I couldn't see anything with my eyes closed at first, but I thought it was because I had to focus on something. I tried to look for something in the darkness and caught a few trace of colorful specks, trying to focus and make it into a complex shape. I keep getting frustrated because I'm easily distracted by other things outside of my body, like music and my legs rubbing, I couldn't really stop myself moving around... My body had a mind of its own.
After few failed attempts, I finally got a working CEV. I was focusing on a gear rotating in the center of my vision... And soon after, my entire visionfield was filled with gears rotating in sync with each other and then they started to shrink, as if I was zooming out and pretty soon, the gears merged into eachother and formed a perfect sphere, and in the center was a face, which looks oddly like that maggot in the bride's head in Corpse Bride. They were in black and white btw...
I tried to talk to it but I got distracted and the whole thing fell apart. I decided to go to sleep instead because I had classes in the morning. But I ended up having a conversation with myself or rather my other side... It was just mostly me thinking about my problems and my answering my questions, but it felt like I was communicating with someone inside myself via telepathy.
I woke up with the greatest feeling in the world, like I was happy to be alive as opposed to "just one more day to survive... Lemme die already" feeling that I have every other days. I don't remember the conversation or anything I've said, but I think it lift a huge burden off my shoulders now.
I'm going to try and aim for 3rd plateau next time, but in a better mood. I think I'll give Buckley's another try because, despite its horrible taste, it didn't give me any side effects except for that slight sense of nausea which lasted like 10 minutes out of the whole trip.
I don't think my roomie had ever suspected anything about that night.

Sounds like fun  I used to do dxm or rather it used to do me every other week, very fun but the syrup can be very hard on your body. If possible you might want to try an extraction.
Here are some dif methods if interested

sounds intriguing, but I'm a college student and money is a luxury which I don't have. :P
But I'll try that out one day though, thanks for the link!

You really should have taken a few tokes..... increases the effects 2 fold IMHO
And the syrup is really not needed. Why not just use Liquid Gels? Though some prefer using syrup for dxm...why..I do not know..
Edit: At second thought I would say that the effects are increased dramatically, but it creates a different experience entirely at the same time, especially at a dose around what you have taken (light-mid).

I'm new in this place so I don't have weed connection here... yet. I also live oncampus where smoking is strictly no-no (for indoors anyway). I'll buy a couple gs when I get back home in halifax though, so I'll give that a try too.
I was originally aiming for liquid gelcaps but they don't have those around here, just syrups... Beside I got an iron stomach so I can handle the taste.
I bought a larger bottle tonight! It's 250ml which should give me about 625mg of DXM, plenty enough for 3rd plateau... But I'm going to have to hold it off till next weekend though cuz I got a dorm party going on for tomorrow night (lots of free alcohol, w00t) and sunday's homework day, bah.
