DXM and vision problems

So the other day I decided to try DXM and started off with a not terribly high 350 mg dose. I ended up having a great time and watched the Grateful Dead movie and I felt like I was there!I felt a good amount of euphoria saw some distinctly different visual distortions that I could only really describe as greenish amoeba like things and had fun walking around like some sort of gorilla or cartoon cowboy with his legs out too wide. And just passed out after a few hours.
When I woke up my eyes were crossed and I was seeing double. I couldn't drive for shit and I got really depressed about ruining my life for some stupid dissociative experience that was purely recreational.
I read online about this kid who had those effects after a 600mg DXM esp last for a full year and a half. And thoughts that I had done the same permeated my brain and twisted my thoughts into pure self loathing and hatred for my eagerness to try DXM even though I had said I never would a long time ago.
In all it lasted for about 3 days. It slowly went into remission and my vision came back after much agony.Today I feel no lingering effects after little over a week.
I share this experience with the community to try and find some answers and shed some light on the experience and maybe even so that someone will learn something from it. Has anyone else had a similar experience with DXM or any drug for that matter? It's also about self control, I had read lots of negative and positive experiences concerning DXM and for some reason knew in my gut it wasn't right for me. But my curiosity got the best of me and I did it anyways. So in short try and trust your judgement a little better than I did.

Dude, same exact thing happened to me. I did a relatively moderate dose (I think around the one you did) in pills and actually had a terrible trip. Went well for a while, then started having a MAJOR panic attack...the first one I ever had. Came within 2 inches of picking up the phone and dialing 911. My vision was fucked up for the next half day, definitely like I had double vision or crossed eyes. All I know is, that can be a good sign lol.

I've done a lot of DXM and have never had any vision problems or any problems. Except constipation when I binge on it.

I must be retarded because I like eating 1200 mg to get double vision, it seems to bring on a strange euphoria for me.
then 3 days after my dose I feel awesome, like I'm king of the world, I get a increased ego, and act all cocky, but that wares off after a week.
Also a few days after I dose I don't eat, only really like a sandwich or 2 a day....
I think it's because DXM can act as an SSRI if it gets into the blood undigested into DXO.
Where as increased level of effects from low doses would be because of a missing enzyme in he liver

If you're taking DXM only to get your 'double-vision euphoria' then yes, you are retarded.
And I haven't dosed above 900 mg before. I don't see any reason to go higher. I was gone.

I took about 300mg of DXM once, first and last time. Among the downsides for me, were crossed eyes or blurred vision. Scared the hell out me when I woke up the next morning and couldn't see straight for a couple hours. Never had that happen on any other drug or circumstance.

i had heard of it happening, I was mostly just freaked the fuck out because of the duration, I didnt think I would be able to drive again if it persisted. And I dont really even remember really having double vision while tripping the night i took it...strange

He never said it was his only reason.

I had DXM a few times, the last being ~800mg and that was solid enough to be the last time I do it. I didn't freak out or anything, in fact I handled it quite well. I downed a 700mg bottle and a few of the pills to top it off and the trip was actually more intense than my first LSD trip (1 tab), but not as fun. The trip wasn't negative at all, even considering I had to lead us out of the forest at night. Now that I think about it I had to deal with a lot for being on that much DXM. My friend who took 800mg in pills threw up all over my back seat and himself in the middle of the night while my high 300mg friend drove us in MY car (thank you for not crashing <3). We parked on the side of some secluded residential street so the kid could change and clean off. He actually got naked and went into a fountain pool to do it.
DXM feels pretty good but something about its dark character feels chemical and unsafe to me. Knowing how to take it responsibly I obviously realize that's not entirely true but it certainly isn't the most healthy of choices. The sketchiness and risks just don't seem worth it to me (as you've learned first hand). Now that I have seen that it is truly a psychedelic drug at 800mg, I think I've had my fill.
Also since I now have experienced what acid is like there's no reason to go back to that shit. xD

I must simply be built differently cause I would drop 1100mg and be like "Eh I could trip harder"... Always enjoyable experiences with DXM. Haven't done it in a while actually.. Might think about doing some if a special occasion comes up

I haven't had a whole lot experience with the stuff... or psychedelics at all for that matter. 800mg wasn't overwhelming and my 2 tab acid trip was definitely stronger. I just don't think I'll be needing that much of that kind of trip when there are better and safer things out there.
