What the hell happened?

I know that feeling all too well, DXM, for me, seems to have an exceptionally high tolerance. My first time was 360mg, and I had one hell of a trip. My arms seemed 5 feet long, my body an inch high. It was a fleeting experience, but it was intense. It was inescapable, closing my eyes to escape the unreal proportions only left me in an even more insane place. I had a killer time, but I also scared myself pretty badly at the end of the trip. I didn't use again for a few months.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say you were on a very high second and maybe even third plateau dose for a minute there. Nothing went wrong, you just aren't experienced enough with DXM to know what each plateau feels like to you.

Continuing with my story, when I returned to DXM months later I tried the same dosage, MUCH better prepared and informed from reading, but frustratingly only got a solid second plateau dosage, no open eye hallucinations, it was not the same.

I was still living at home at the time, and I started eating DXM more and more frequently at night. I managed fine, I did ok in school and still managed to drag ass through life without getting busted. Maddeningly, I still wasn't able to recreate or surpass my first experience again, so I took to upping my dosages and schedule to an OCD level of creepiness. Eventually, I fried my brain, and I think I put myself into serotonin syndrome for a good few days. Things blew up, and it wasn't pretty.

The memory effects of DXM and the tolerance make for a very bad time for me, and my experience left my body with a compulsive repulsion to any DXM pill, gel, or syrup. I think I may have been experiencing the effects I wanted, but I so recklessly increased my dosages that I just couldn't remember what the hell I experienced. Please be careful if you try the experience again, and I hope my insight helps you understand it better yourself!
