Should I give dxm another shot?

I had used DXM once (300 Mg) and had a pretty bad experience. It wasn't a bad trip or anything, in fact I don't think I tripped at all other than some sort of drunken dizziness and the world appearing to spin at times. I felt like I was sick. I just had that gross, lethargic, nausious sick feeling. Also I had diarrhea for the next day. :/
I didn't smoke any weed or anything during the experience. Im also sort of a heavy guy so I thought maybe I just didn't take enough for a psychoactive experience.
I'm considering taking it again but this time at a higher dose (maybe 600 Mg) and with some hash or something. I'd make a playlist of 6-8 hours of some spacey post-rock, ambient, and drone to accompany the experience.
What do you think?

I actually really like DXM, but definitely give it another shot in the higher dose range and with weed or hash like you said. Lay in your bed at night, and close your eyes. You will get lost inside of your head.

http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/
Section 5, The DXM Experience, has a dosage chart for you by body weight. I believe they have the same one somewhere on the Dextroverse, but I'm not positive...maybe it just links to that FAQ, it's been a while since I've been there.
Go for a mid-upper 2nd plateau dose and you should have a good time. It won't be a crazy trip or anything, but at this dose I absolutely love hanging out with people, listening to music, or watching movies. Smoke some weed with it and you'll be set.

DXM seems to be the one drug that has the highest rate of dislike. Only a small percentage of people really like DXM. It's quite interesting. I think since you're wanting to give it another shot means that you could be one of the chosen. Haha.

Yeah, try a higher dose, it becomes a much different experience. Smoking can make the trip a little foggy.
Hope you like it, I've had some fascinating experiences

Yeah, I personally used to love DXM but really haven't enjoyed it much recently. I don't know if I overused it and lost the magic, or just grew out of it. I also haven't had much of a desire to use hard drugs of any kind recently though. I've also been smoking a lot less weed and doing a lot less tripping. I think people just like DXM because it fucks them up...it's the Opiate family's pseudo-psychedelic, I've only ever had one meaningful trip on DXM and that was at the fourth plateau.
That being said, the right dose/set/setting can still be a great time. I would just prefer not to use DXM anymore because if I just want to get fucked up I'll just do some oxy or something...people can say whatever they want, but anybody who has ever felt their brain melted to the inside of their skull after a solid DXM trip knows the shit ain't good for ya. DXM provides a very powerful state of ego dissolution in the form of disassociation, but you're just too fucked up for it to be beneficial.

I used to do way to much DXM when I was alot younger and had to stop for a long time... But I still cant resist a good DXM trip every once in a while... I cant be for sure but I think I usually take like 3 times your dose and I am of a thin build... and always smoke weed cause thats what I do... I am pretty sure I figured out my dose to be around 900mg last time I did it... Just get a bottle of appropriate CS and chug that bitch... You will definately be a go for blastoff at that point

Also, by all means do an extraction! If you are going to take a substance, do it as cleanly as possible, nooo? It's called a "trip" for a reason, it's a journey, so dont start it off all shitty/half-ass...
Extract the DXM, it's not expensive, and only takes less then a couple hours depending on method..
Try double that for a dose at least, I'm 99kg and 700-800mg is a good dose for me usually.., weed/thc is awesome with it.. etc.etc...
IF you arent extracting, the coughsyrup and the gell caps can all make you feel ill.. >.> And lower doses can tend to feel like a feverish feeling at times..

I did 300 mg and felt nothing. I did 900mg and was fucked up and . I think there are better and safer drugs, and I never really saw a point in dxm. I would much rather have some mushrooms or ayahuasca. But then I only have one real experience with dxm, and that was 5 years ago.

I did 800mg dosage and got very fucked up, in such a good way. be sure to have some good music playing the whole time, when the music stops the experience seems to become much more un-enjoyable and bland. Fly like an eagle by Steve Miller Band was an amazing experience.
I used the delsym extended release, it took a little bit to kick in but when it did it was good, tripped mentally and visually, however the visuals are alittle blurrier. I recall saying to me friend multiple times "I can't see shit!" as I watched his eyes move around his face. also you must be sure you're in a safe environment for the night, no chance of walking out in public because my motor skills were completely fucked (reminiscent of the ether seen from fear and loathing).
I felt as if I was ready to die, not in a bad way but in a way that if it was to happen that night, I was ready for it to, also had some great bonding with a friend. It's amazing how when you're with someone on a psychedelic and it's almost as if you can read eachothers minds and feel exactly what the other is feeling. I'm fortunate enough to have had good experiences on DXM and I do enjoy it, however it has been months since then and it definitely is something that needs to be taken in moderation or you can get some pretty nasty side effects. Also you have to make sure you dont get a syrup with guafisen, first time I tried it mine did and I had pretty nasty vomiting.
Just remember that if you use the delsym, down it all in one chug.
ALSO, during your peak watch the video to goodbye blue sky by Pink Floyd!

What do you think?
I would definitely advise against it. Stick to naturals like psilocybin, mescaline, THC, DMT and so on. Cough syrup to get high?? Geez that just sounds trashy as hell. No offence, to each is own. Be safe, healthy and have fun.

The few times I took a plateau level dosage, everything was overshadowed by GOD AWFUL TERRIBLE ITCHING!
Was told that I could take some benadryl to combat the itch, but I just got the hint it wasn't my bag.

I weigh 210 lbs, and 8oz of Extra Strength- Robotussin didn't quite get me where I wanted to be. But it was a hell of a good time. You won't be able to sleep on it, so don't try. I think 3 bottles would get you pretty up there if you're close to my weight. From some studies I've read, I recommend you don't do it often though. You can poison your brain with this certain salt (I don't remember what it was. >_<), and harm yourself pretty bad if you do it more than about once a month. Have fun, and stay safe.

The prospect of it making me vomit, plus the fact that it seems to be a rather unhealthy synthetic drug actually made me decide I don't want to do it again. I'll stick with natural stuff for now.

Yeah. Honestly, if I could find some Ketamine or something, I wouldn't even consider DXM.

Of course... I use pure DXM... so it's MUCH nicer than buying something OTC. Pure is soooo clean feeling compared to non-pure.

Of course that sounds trashy as hell.. But that's judging a book by it's cover.. Consider that DXM in appropriate doses is one of the most potent dissociatives in the repertoire that doesnt anesthetize parts of consciousness.. It is being studied for it's antidepressent, antismoking, and antiopiate-addiction potentials.. Besides being a fairly decent cough suppressant at low doses, it is being used OTC because it allows the removal of most OTC codeine medications..
Dextromethorphan is rather complex Drug, that works rather complexly on the brain, on 4 different receptor sites depending upon dosages..dramatically different kinds of sites..
Of course any synthetic doesnt have the historical use to know it's potential safety issues.. be responsible with all of them- I have done some messed up shit to my brain from random e pills in the past.. just Be(a)ware..

This was a histamine reaction >.> it happens to many people on low doses as well.. not myself though.. Second-third plateau doses typically do not cause such reactions, even in susceptible individuals.

I believe you're refering to the bromide poisoning- This is the salt form the DXM comes in in cough syrup- An extraction will turn it to freebase, and then into a citrate/ascorbic with lemon juice. Or you could probably use Viniger and make an Acetate.. or possibly with soda into a phosphate?
:o worth looking into..

About the itching, yeah it sucks. I was itching really fucking bad. And then I told myself "my head couldn't itch, if I didn't have one. I should just become music.", then I literally turned into fucking music and left my body, floating around the room as music score. It was a very, very weird night.
