I've never tripped on anything before, and I got sick and decided to buy some. Then I remembered hearing cough syrup can take you on a weird trip and started looking around. After finding out that it can be relatively safe if not abused or overtaken, I decided I wanted to try it out. I've smoked/vaped cannabis before, but that's the only thing I've ever tried.

I've decided to take a 355 mL (355 mg) container that contains only Dextromethorphan HBr and is Alcohol/Antihistamine free. Any tips? I'm aiming for a second plateu. I spent an hour and a half reading through the FAQ before deciding to try it today. I have the next six hours free and nowhere to be. I already took 30 just to see what it was like, and it's disgusting. I'm going to be following the tips in the FAQ for ingesting. My only real fear is puking.

I'll add updates here when I have them.

EDIT: Here is a list of fatal drug interactions linked to Dextromethorphan. Please read this if you were considering it! Included are "antihistamine terfenadine" (Seldane), Fluoxetine and other SSRI antidepressants, as well as tricyclics and lithium, and monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI, rhymes with "wowee") - either a prescription MAOI or a recreational one such as harmaline. Nicotine has also been reported to cause severe nausea, so keep that in mind.

This entire FAQ is brilliant and helpful for making safe informed decisions about usage.

6:15: Drank the whole bottle, it was awful. Had to drink it in two gulps instead of one because it's 1ml=1mg which means a huge bottle. Getting a sort of pressure in my stomach already, and my stomach feels slightly warm.

6:36: My ears and face felt warm, nothing yet.

6:50: Feel absolutely nothing. I feel completely the same.

7:17: When I turn my head, it feels like my head keeps moving. I'm really excited for 'closed eyes hallucinations' or whatever they're called. Everything feels kind of fuzzy, it's nice.

7:32: (gross) Stomach isn't happy with me, spent the last couple minutes in the bathroom but not puking. (/gross) I like the music. I feel really content like I could just sit here and be like this for the next couple hours. Everything is really perfect if it weren't for the nausea.

7:42-8:15: Spending a lot of this trip in the bathroom so far. Can't wait for this part of it to be over.

8:00: I feel almost exactly like I do when I get really drunk. Except it's more comfortable. Listening to music is really cool. I feel really content right now. When I look at something, sometimes it looks like I'm looking at it more than once. Like when you read a sentence over and over -- my vision is doing that.

8:36: Has it been 36 minutes? It's really hard to type. My fingers feel heavy and my face feels.. funny. Numb. I feel really good. Euphoria is what they described it as. I'm not worried about anything, everything's cool. The nausea has stopped and I'm feeling really happy.

8:47: I forgot to post this because I was replying to comments. I am so fucked up I don't even know what to do with myself. This is tons of fun. I am feeling great now that I'm not glued to the toilet. I feel more relaxed than ever before.

9:00: The music sounds like it is coming from the speakers even though it is in my headphones. I LOVE this feeling, can't get enough of it. I think I'm at the end of my nausea, just feeling glowy. I'm starving, but I know if I eat it probably won't spell out good things for me. Thanks everyone for keeping me company!

9:26: I can barely put together words properly, I'm just sitting here listening to music and it feels wonderful. I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing. I am really enjoying this! Thanks for all your comments and stuff. Typing is a weird experience. Music is awesome, my body feels weightless.

9:35: Moving is effortless, coasting along while listening to music. I suffer from depression so house is kind of a wreck. I just cleaned the shit out of it just now and it felt wonderful. Everything feels great. Got a nice empty place to lay down on now.

9:47: I didn't realize how stressed out I was until I started this. Everything that used to be a huge stressor is very minor now and I feel wonderful. Just sitting here relaxing is such a nice change... feel very mellow. I'm probably starting to lose it.

10:13: Definitely on the decline. I just feel fuzzy drunk now. There's an underlying feeling of contentedness. I'm starting to get my faculties back.

10:47: I feel my mind returning to me and I have to say, that was a ton of fun! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted and kept me company. Overall, I would say that it was a really pleasant experience. Not for a second did I feel panicky or like I was going to puke like I thought. Instead I just sat on the toilet throughout my trip. That was the only unpleasant part of the whole experience. Sorry if I rambled at you in the comments, I was having a ton of fun responding to all my orange-reds.

Best of luck in your endeavors!
