Ego-death from DXM and almost serotonin syndrome :(

Man I don't even know where to begin. I have only achieved ego-death once with psychedelics. It was some extremely powerful LSD and a lot of it. I made a STUPID decision about a week ago and consumed 2 5oz bottles of delsym at about noon. Since it is time release I wasn't pleased and drank another 2 4oz bottles of robitussin at about 4-5pm from what I can remember.
I now realize this was close to 2000mg dxm total in my body even though half of it was time released.
I completely lost it. I lost my mind and blacked out through periods of the trip. FORTUANTLY for me my family ended up rushing me to the hospital while I was in and out of consciousness. I had no idea who I was or who people of my family were. I love them so much it's insane. I was paranoid as fuck and acted like I didn't even know who they were from what I heard.
At the hospital the doctors said I was going through serotonin syndrome. This is why I was so lucky to have them find me in this state. This post is in no way bragging even though the experience taught me so much I don't regret it. Luckily I got back to normal completely. I think this is what it took to finally teach my dumbass not to fuck with DXM anymore. Stick with the real shit and be responsible with it.
Just a warning be extremely careful with DXM even though I'm sure most of you already know this.
But anyways I wanted to post this because it weirded me out how a dissociative could bring on such a psychedelic-like experience. Has anyone else experienced something like this from dissociatives?

I'll have to do more research but I didn't think dxm had much of any effect on serotonin to cause serotonin syndrome. Sounds like you just had a PCP like freak out.
If anything I'd be scared of the inactive ingredients you ingested to get 2000mg in your system. Very bad for your kidneys.

Lmao love the funny comments. I usually think that way about dxm to but this experience was straight up madness.
Visuals? I can only explain them as extremely blurred vision combined with fractals.(not hard psychedelic visuals obviously because it's not a psychedelic)
Everything looked far away and out of this world... like people's shapes looked different from the parts I can remember. It's hard to explain but almost reminds me of some shroom vision but with blurred vision/dissociation.
basically I couldn't recognize anyone. Didn't know who I was or what was going on. Didn't even know my own family who I love to death.
Keep in mind I can't remember if I mentioned this but I was on 100mg of Zoloft a day for about a month before I did this. I think that is what caused the serotonin syndrome. I just can't figure out why I had such a psychedelic experience on something that has never giving me something like that. usually dxm just makes me have closed-eye visuals(mostly with pot) and makes me kinda looney.
Only thing I can think of is maybe since the Zoloft provides serotonin release it turned it into a more trippy experience. Maybe there's more to DXM then people realize.
I think this is honestly what it took for me to learn to stop messing with this bullshit. Just wish some real psychedelics were available in my area.
Oh and for the person who said they didn't see dxm as something that works on serotonin check out the wiki page. The doctors seemed like they had seen this before and explained to me that it CANNOT be taken at recreational doses with SSRIs or MAOI's.
I just can't get over how I can take a 10 strip of descent acid or 5 grams of shrooms and keep my cool but dxm sent me overboard. As far as psychedelics go, I've only had ego-death once from 5 hits of some WoW unperf acid that was out of this world.

An issued caution on the dangers of ingesting bottles of cough syrup? Who would have thought?

For fuck sake give me a break dude. The main point of this thread was to see if anyone has experienced anything like this on DXM.
You are on a forum about drugs and freak out when someone makes a thread about one you don't like. Get the fuck out of here.
I'm sure you live your daily live not doing anything harmful to your mind/body. lmao.

Because some people are holding "holier than though" drug attitudes which is annoying as fuck... DXM really isn't all that bad for you in reasonable doses
Back to the OP, was this your only experience with dissociatives? If not is DXM the only dissociative you've messed with? I pretty much lost interest in DXM after finding ketamine. It's just so much easier on the body and mind. But yeah that double vision is part of it. The fact that you had 2000mg of DXM and still had double vision is the exact reason I refuse to venture into high doses of DXM. At that far above the average dose K would put you straight into a hole. But that inbetween state... between the low recreational dose and the hole... really fucking sucks. It's just like being drunk x infinity

Definitely not my first with dissociatives but I've only done a small dose of ketamine once and didn't think I got the whole experience out of it. I've done dxm quite a bit though. IDK it's all behind me now. I think I just had a straight up pcp like freak out because I did so much. To much for my mind at the time.
I've stayed away from it since and plan on keeping it that way.
