This is my first dxm bad trip, if I can call it a trip.
10 PM : So I used DXM 4-5 times in my life, and each time it was great. I never had a bad experience with it. Yesterday, after work, I had nothing to do and my Robitussin gel caps were sitting on my table so I was like : Why not ? I don't have trouble swallowing pills so the whole bottle went down quickly in my body. I only had 16 of them left, so I decided to took 2 sip of a DXM syrup bottle. In total, I took around 350 - 400 mg.
11 PM : Everything was fine at first, it was not my biggest dosage ever and I thought I could not bad trip. I had eat before taking the gel caps and the syrup, so it took 1 hour to feel the DXM. When it hit me, I was laying on my bed, looking at my ceilling with music. I felt like a robot, like if each movement that I was doing was rapid and precise. My room felt dissociate from my house. At this point, I wasn't feeling very well. The nausea was still up (I never throw up).
Time was getting really slower. Like if I was on shrooms. Minutes felt for hours. It wasn't fun, and I knew at this point that I would not have a good time for the next hours. I was very lost in my mind, I would think of random things. When I was closing my eyes, I was kind of hallucinating, but it wasn't CEV's, just my mind. I would see myself in random places, floating around the universe. I remember thinking about my bed and me moving down from my room.
12 PM : From there, I was just like fuck it. My mind was a total mess, I couldn't think 1 second without having something else distracting me. I remember thinking about the girl I want to date. This episode lasted about 20 minutes. It was the only positive element of the trip at this point.
00:30 : Now here, I was on the peak, and I was freaking out. I thought I would be tripping like this all of my life, or that I would have a psychosis or something and that I would have to go to the hospital. I was feeling like a ghost, I had no emotions.
1 AM : at 1 am, I was still tripping, but a little bit less. I was just trying to get asleep, wich I was not capable of. Every time I would close my eyes, a random visuals would scare me or freak me out. I remember thinking about a wide environment, with a dark sky and some dead trees. I also saw myself in the neighborhood, with my co-workers running next to me in the snow and ignoring me. (I think we can all agree : WTF). I would have these kind of random visuals in my mind repeatedly.
After that, at like 2AM maybe, I couldn't handle my room, so I took a blanket and a pillow, and went on my couch just to have some fresh air and a new setting. From then, I was thinking more straight and I felt asleep.
Today, I feel good but a little bit dizzy. I can still feel the DXM a little bit.
This is a good example that bad experience can happen to everyone. Please don't do dissociatives or psychedelics drugs if you don't feel good mentally. It can really fuck you up. I remember thinking of a guy killing himself during my trip. My mind was still there so I immediately thought like "wow no this is just a bad trip you're gonna be good tomorrow just relax". It could have been different with a higher dose.
Bad trips can happen on low dose and they are not funny to deal with ! I'm not gonna take DXM for a long time after this experience and I'm gonna work on some aspects of my life for sur !
