201; DXM.
Today.... today. How can I begin to describe today?
Now keep in mind, this comes from a girl that has never been high. Not even from marijuana...
Since I have a terrible sore throat/stuffy nose/plugged ears thing going on, I have NyQuil Cold & Flu to take. The regular dosage wasn't doing much for me, so I decided to take 1.5 times as much. That didn't seem to do too much either, so after I waited the six hours I was supposed to wait before taking it again, I took double. And that's where this all started. I thought it'd be harmless, but it did affect me, a lot.
See, in most cough syrups there is the drug called Dextromethorphan, more easily known as DXM. When you take a dosage higher than the medically suggested dosage, the drug turns into a dissociative hallucinogen. In high doses, it can produce effects similar to ketamine or PCP.
There are different levels of "high" you can get from DXM. They are called plateaus. There are mainly four. Going over that is fatal. It turns out that just by doubling the amount of cough syrup I was supposed to take, I reached the second plateau. I'm almost positive I'm still high right now.
I took the medicine just a little bit before I left the house to go over to my friend's place. After I got there and sat there for 20 minutes or so, I started to feel weird. Not bad, but just ...different. It's really hard to describe how I felt. I felt like it was too easy to move. Everything flowed too easily. When I moved around or shut my eyes, I would get dizzy.
Then, we left in my mom's car to go to the thrift store. I was driving and I ended up going the wrong way at first. Then when my friends pointed me in the right direction, I went the wrong way again. And then I went the wrong way while I was trying to correct what I had just done... Lmao.
When we finally got to the thrift store, we went in. When I was walking around, everything just felt different. See, my friends have done drugs and they used to robotrip (a term for taking DXM recreationally) quite often. I kept telling them that I felt different, and they said I was probably high, but I didn't believe them because I didn't think I took a big amount. But apparently I took enough. When I was walking around, I didn't feel like I was walking. I did, but I didn't... My legs felt like Jello and I just felt like I was floating. Everything seemed surreal. I was in a dream-like state. When I closed my eyes to blink I would feel off balance, like I was going to fall over. I kept telling them that I felt different even though I didn't think I was high.
I had my friend drive after we left the thrift store. OH by the way, the very first shirt I look at in the thrift store turned out to be a Cry-Baby t-shirt. Of course I bought it :D But anyway, Xero drove us downtown so my friends could smoke under the bridge by the river. My senses were still heightened. It's really hard to explain how I felt/still feel, but I wish I could! I just feel so floaty. Idk.
After they smoked we went to the cemetery that's downtown and by my house. The whole time I was there, my senses were still heightened. I was hearing more than I normally would. I felt more than I normally would. It was just strange. But not bad.
After the cemetery, we had to drop one of my friends off at home, but Chloe and I really wanted ice cream, so we all went out to Baskin Robbins. I got myself two scoops of Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream on a sugar cone. My favorite :D So we got that and left. We had made a wrong turn when we left, so we had to turn around. After we turned around, we passed the Baskin Robbins again, because that was the way we were originally supposed to go, but for some reason it confused the fuck out of me. I completely forgot that we turned around. I saw the Baskin Robbins and I just thought, wtf?! Then I looked around and everything was the same, and I was like seriously wtf! Until I finally realized that we had turned around.
After ice cream, we went back to my friend's so I could drop everyone off, and then I headed home. I had the radio going and the music just sounded abnormally good to me. It was kinda techno-ish, which after research, I found out is the best music to listen to when you're on DXM. When I got home, I got my ass straight on to the computer to research this shit, because I know what I felt was not normal. And then yeah... I found out that I took enough to get high. I'm still high right now. I feel so dazed. I feel so light and floaty. I'm listening to techno and just swaying around.
I want to try this again... But I can't with the medicine I have right now. Aside from DXM, it also has Acetaminophen and Chlorpheniramine in it, which is dangerous to take in excess amounts. I would have to get something that is just straight up DXM. I want to do it... but it scares me. I only want to do it once, just to see how it feels. But it still scares me.
And yes, this is coming from a straight-edge girl :(
