I did just a 30mg dose of RoboCough earlier and I swear my cough went away. Has anyone else experienced this? I think it could be beneficial if there's actually something to it.

So I know there already exists somewhat of a guide in the FAQ but as far as I can tell it's been removed and tbh doesn't mention anything about R30's vs Delsym vs Robocough, drug interactions, safety, activities and other info I think should be known at the final hour before an amazing journey into the dextroverse. For my own sake this guide is purely because I see a lot of new interest in this drug and with the introduction of R30's and the popularity/accessibilty of more sketchy products like Triple C's I want to make sure anyone who OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL decides to do this drug, decides to do it safely. I am not encouraging anyone to take this drug.

So without further ado,

5. My personal 10 DXM commandments (not really tho lol) + Happy Exploring!

1. So what does it feel like?

I feel like I could throw a million different adjectives and experiences and wordy descriptions of feeling like the incarnation of Buddha while also flying through the physical world itching and scratching your head and sweating through the feeling of pure joy and self-diety experience...

But the most baseline description I can give is a middle ground between weed and psychedelics

Prepare for a lot of euphoria and extreme heightening of senses and stimulation while also losing track of any concept of time. Truly you can run around and jump to the tunes of your favorite music for what feels like an hour and you can check the clock and see only 10 minutes have passed. A repeated phrase you will probably see on this sub is "Dextronaut" or "Dextroverse" and it truly is because you feel like you have been transported into a different world where time doesn't move. Plenty of closed eye visuals the higher plateau you go with a heightened sense of feeling out of body. Like most drugs there's a come up, peak, and then come-down, but I would say for 60% of the DXM experience you are feeling some of the most intense positive feelings and stimulation you have ever felt in your life.

2. Ok, holy shit wow that sounds intense, so like how do you do it and can you like... die?

Well I guess that's a couple questions to answer at once... let's start with how to do it, then we can move onto how to do it SAFELY

2.1 How to get DXM/What is the difference between all this shit at CVS?

Before this we need to highlight the difference between the 3 types of DXM. All of them are safe but they will make you trip somewhat differently.

DXM HBR: The most common form of DXM, often found in CVS syrups and most of the better syrups that are accessible to most people. This is the DXM you probably hear about most on this sub outside of Delsym and R30's.

DXM Polistirex (Poli): I remember a while back someone referring to this as "Half the strength, Twice the length." and that is exactly what it is. If you want to be high for like 12-18 to even 24 hours... go this route. I've only ever found this type of DXM in Delsym. If you are looking for a high dose of DXM... dont go this route because it takes twice that of HBR and you can easily overdo it. [Personal Comment: If it's your first time... maybe don't go this route. Like I mentioned before its no more intense than anything else, but I think by the end of a typical HBR/Freebase trip, which is already quite long, you are pretty much ready to be normal again]

DXM Freebase: This is just the pure powdered form of DXM. I'm sure there's a lot of sketchy ways to source this but the only approved source I know of that I've used/use personally is Robotablets from the company robocough.

2.2 Now onto the different brands of DXM and their ratings

(RULE OF THUMB IF YOUR BRAND IS NOT ON THE FOLLOWING LIST)IF THE BOTTLE SAYS ANYTHING OTHER THAN DEXTROMETHORPHAN AS AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT, PUT IT BACK. NO ACETAMINOPHEN NO DPH (I know cold water extract is a thing but I don't even fuck with that considering how easy it is to find only DXM. You can mess around with it at your own risk but I don't care for it.)

RATINGS:

GREEN LIGHT: Safe if you follow the general safety procedures of taking a drug like this

YELLOW LIGHT: There are others that do this, This may not be as enjoyable, as clean, or you may have to do it at your own risk considering some of the factors mentioned. Not unusable but not the best experience.

RED LIGHT: Don't. This is not for tripping it is for curing colds you will either get sick or hurt yourself.

🟢🟢🟢 RoboCough Syrup [HBR]https://imgur.com/a/3o0CUhL

Source: These can only be found online and shipped to you for about 90% of the US population. I don't know the rules on linking the website but literally typing its name in google should give you a result lol. Worst case I believe they ship with amazon as well.

Price: $16.99 for 5 450ml bottles (450mg x 5)

Personal Notes: This was the first clean DXM experience I ever had with a bunch of friends that wasn't encumbered by the feeling generic CVS syrup gives you. This is probably the best product on the market only contested by the product right below it. This is where its at whether you are a beginner or a CVS user that wants to experience some of the best feelings DXM has to offer.

🟢🟢🟢 RoboTablets [Freebase] (often referred to as r30's or robotabs)https://imgur.com/a/vnjnL0K

Source: These can only be found online and shipped to you for about 90% of the US population. I don't know the rules on linking the website but literally typing its name in google should give you a result lol. Worst case I believe they ship with amazon as well. Same company as the one mentioned above.

Price: $19.99 for 1 bottle of 100 tablets (30mg each) (best value)

Personal Notes: In my opinion these are the cleanest way of taking DXM. Don't want large amounts syrup hurting your stomach? Don't want a sludgy unclear trip that the generic CVS products can give you? This is your guy. When these released I tried them and never went back, a couple of these plus a light 5-10mg edible (or heavy 15-20mg if thats ur thing lol) and I swear to god you get a twin peak like no other. I still recommend trying the robocough syrup for the experience/variation. But if ur asking about the best way to trip... its this.

🟢🟢🟢Delsym [Poli]https://imgur.com/a/nbOCIie

Source: Your local CVS, Walmart, or really anywhere that carries cold medicine.

10-15 bucks/bottle

Personal Notes: I don't do poli or delsym often so I cant speak for the benefits or quality of trip. But I can tell you this is a tried and true method of getting a solid one in. Always remember with poli: Half the strength, Twice the length.

🟡🟡🟡CVS Health Cough DM Polistirex Extended Release [Poli]https://imgur.com/a/d4zBkYL

Source: Your local CVS, Walmart, or really anywhere that carries cold medicine.

Price: 10-15 bucks/bottle

Personal Notes: This is the exact same as below but just Poli instead of HBR. Consider this the generic version of Delsym. I honestly dont even recommend reaching for this stuff because often times delsym is on the exact same shelf... but we all been at the "9 bucks in the checking and we gotta get high" so I cant knock it. Just uhhh dont get too nauseous or anything.

🟡🟡🟡CVS Health Tussin Adult Cough, Dextromethorphan HBr USP 30 mg [HBR]https://imgur.com/a/pZVXzy9

Source: Your local CVS, Walmart, or really anywhere that carries cold medicine

10-15 bucks/bottle

Personal Notes: These come in gelcaps as well I believe but it's much of the same as what I'm about to mention. If it's there and for some reason you cannot get products from robocough, i've been there sometimes u just gotta get that feeling tonight.... this will work for that. You have to drink much more syrup/take much more pills and that can often irritate your stomach... But if you want the cleanest and most enjoyable experience I just recommend waiting for an order from robocough. In the meantime plan what you will do on your trip maybe :)

🔴🔴🔴Coricidin HBP (ANY FORM) (Triple C's)

Source: Local medicine store

Personal Notes: These are just awful for your heart and will give you a really shitty high stay away from this shit it is seriously dangerous, I know some people on this sub use Triple C's and oh god just please for your own safety stop. These are made for people with high blood pressure so they often contain ingredients other than DXM.

🔴🔴🔴 ANY SYRUP OR GELCAPS WITH AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT OTHER THAN DXM

Source: Too many places unfortunately

Personal Notes: This is the imposter you will often encounter on your journey finding DXM, especially in physical locations. They cut a lot of DXM products with Guafinesin and Acetaminophen to deter people from abusing it... unfortunately most people dont know this and abuse it anyway and instead of someone having a really bad trip because they took too much dxm....they get seriously hurt because they took to much

3. Ok I have my DXM... now how much do I take and what can/cant i take with it?

I want to cover the prescription drug interactions first as I want to seriously catch anyone at risk before they put themselves in a harmful situation.

3.1 Prescription Drug Interactions/Safety

If you are on Stimulants (Adderall, Strattera, Vyvanse etc.)

Look up how long it takes for these to leave your system and take the aforementioned amount of time as a break from your medicine. If you find that you cant take a break because you need your medicine to function, don't do DXM. Your health is much more important than whatever this drug will give you.

If you are on SSRI's/Anti-Depressants (Lexapro, Zoloft, Celexa, Prozac etc.)

Oh my god PLEASE do not take DXM. Seriously there is such a high risk of Serotonin Syndrome I seriously just recommend closing this guide out now and coming back to it maybe 2-3 months after you have been relieved of taking your prescription by your doctor. This is seriously dangerous please do not combine these 2 drugs.

EDIT: thank u cptaustria 4 letting me know wellbutrin is not an SSRI... I’m unsure the positive or negative effects of wellbutrin and dxm together so google is probably your best friend in this department as I am not a doctor of any kind :))

If you are on anti-psychotics/mood stabilizers (Zyprexa, Vraylar, Risperidone, etc.)

Now there is not a lot of online documentation about the effects between DXM and medications like these since mood stabilizers are an extremely complex medicine that I'm sure the average DXM user does not really understand... That being said, in my personal opinion just don't take the risk. Full disclosure I used to have to take Vraylar and I only ever tripped before I was prescribed and after I had stopped taking my medicine for 3-ish months... I think I'm fine but that only says so much in the grand scheme of things so just be careful and really put some research and time into your decisions. Don't rationalize bad behavior and like always your health is much more important than whatever this drug will give you.

Lastly if you are on pain medication/opioids

I will cover this again in the recreational drugs section... but regardless don't take these 2 drugs together. If you know the opioids are out of your system you should be fine (be safe and be extra sure, always take a day or 2 buffer to make sure) but just never combine them. Never ever. There are more specific symptoms and dangers on the TripSit wiki but basically you can seriously end up in an ER.

3.2 Recreational Drug Interactions/Safety

Now in this section you are gonna learn that not all drugs are bad with DXM... some potentiate or even synergize to make it better.... not all... but some :)

***Marijuana/Weed:***I think it takes one search on this sub with the word "weed" to find out how amazing weed is with this drug. It's become a staple in my routine taking it as it gets rid of the nausea on the come up and just makes everything so much more mellow and vibrant... as a friend once said to me while wobbling on his feet during 3rd plat "Dude weed and DXM is basically like.... Indica Molly" and I really couldn't agree more.

***Alcohol:***Never ever in any circumstance drink alcohol while doing DXM. This is an easy way of fucking up your breathing and giving yourself Serotonin Syndrome. A double whammy where if one doesn't take you the other will. STAY AWAY. COMPLETELY.

***Nicotine:***Sigh.... ok look I know the age range of this sub is like 16-22y/o and I know that big tobacco has fucked that same age range with nicotine worse than Reagan fucked the hood with crack. So I know everyone has a device attached to the lip probably 8 hours of the 12 hours they are awake. That being said... put it down for the trip. I know hella people on this sub trip while hitting nicotine, I've done it a couple times man it's not lethal but the big emblazoned warning with DXM on any website you can find says do not take with any MAOI inhibitors, and nicotine and cigarettes are that... so be wary, it can cause serotonin syndrome and honestly the stim part of it can just kill ur trip in general. Safety wise its just not worth it and I stopped ever since learning about it.

EDIT:

Nicotine: According to u/lostindexland

"Nicotine is not an MAOI. Tobacco consumption has a mild MAO inhibiting effect, but it’s from other compounds, not the nicotine itself."

***Other Drug Rules of thumb:***honestly just stay away from stimulants (coke, nic, adderall) and depressants (alcohol, benzos etc.) at a certain point with a drug like this common sense needs to come into play and you need to weigh the possibilities of getting hurt over an impulsive decision. Theres always info on the internet that supports everything I'm saying but yeah... just be reasonable y'all cmon.

(If I didn't mention a drug you were looking for, the TripSit Wiki has a bigger and more technical list of Drug interactions but I wanted to make this sort of an AIO guide and strike some keywords that may not be in the wiki. But here is that link if you need :)https://drugs.tripsit.me/dxm

**4. Alright man I get it stfu about safety and tell me how much to take (Plateaus, Dosage and Calculators)**Alright, Alright sorry I'm just tryna do my due diligence but I get it. Fuck I'm tryna trip as well I'm with ya lmfao.

So at this point you have some DXM in your hands and you are ready to start flyin high but you're wondering how much you need to take which can be solved by 2 simple steps :)

1. Find what plateau you wanna reach

2. Take an amount spit out of a calculator based on your weight

And this probably takes like 5 minutes total so lets follow these steps

4.1 What plateau should I get to?

Well this is entirely your choice. There's plenty of descriptions online of the different plateaus but I think none rival the descriptions on TripSit. I'm going to leave a link to the descriptions they have (just scroll down a little until you hit the section called plateaus)

https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/DXM

4.2 Ok so wheres this calculator then?

If you're taking HBR:

Just use this calculator here :) https://codepen.io/yoisahb5/full/mdpYVNG

If link is not working or you prefer a different calculator use this: https://dexcalc.com/

(thanks u/Fluxx0 and u/Catlord746 for letting me know the links stopped working and providing new ones :D)

It's pretty intuitive just select what you're taking and put in your weight.

If you're taking Poli:

Remember what I said earlier? Half the strength twice the length.

So if you plug in your weight and find your HBR dose for 2nd plat is 400mg... you would take 800mg to feel 400mg of HBR

that being said it is easy to overdo it and 2nd/3rd timers can still get hit pretty hard with doses so DO NOT DOSE 2 MUCH. SERIOUSLY.

If you're taking Freebase (Robotabs):

Find what you would take HBR with the above calculator (in Pure MG) and then use this chart to convert https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR97yqimf_QypmHo6E4mVj6WHqddC1qEhl2ihiz73Uhh1KZAB_Gsam7fwErZFcw2Zjk8LVKKJLJaaQ5/pub

(for example: I weigh 150lbs and want to take 311mg HBR... I would take 240mg freebase AKA 8 tablets)

5. My personal 10 DXM Commandments (not really tho lol) + Happy Exploring!

Yay! you have probably dosed by now and taken the DXM, this stuff does take like an hour to kick in but I wont spend that whole hour boring you... instead I'll leave you with my personal top 10 DXM tips and just some stuff to put you at ease while you come up :)

One last note... take well spaced breaks, rule of thumb is a week per plat (1st plat = 1 week break, 3rd plat = 3 weeks break... etc.)

Anyways.....

Advice for DXM!

1. eat lighter the day of or they will take 2 hours plus to kick in ((considering the time is 2:30pm while writing this,, eat a decent meal now and dont eat anymore,, pop tabs or drink syrup at about 7:00pm-8:00pm depending on how u wanna do it))

2. no driving please,, be safe

3. theres some nausea on the come up,, weed eliminates it almost completely

4. keep track of when u took the dxm,, u should start 2 feel funky but still “there” at like the hour mark ((and maybe a lil uncomfortable//nauseous thats normal)) share a bowl w someone n u should be good 2 go 4 the next 3-4 hours

5. i really recommend going 2 a nice open space at night,, watching stars and laying down at the intense parts and walking around and jumping around at the less crazy moments lol,, appreciate the space u have around u and have a good time

6. keep some very nice relaxing music in ur ears at all time,, dxm isnt dxm without music tbh ((i recommend “inner world” - dalai lama but its not everyones cup of tea))its very difficult 2 have a bad time on dxm but if u do get overwhelmed at all take a couple deep breaths and lose urself in music,, dont worry about anything happening physically around u,, just close ur eyes focus on the waves of euphoria ((music is a super good grounding tool))when u lay down,, closing ur eyes is really cool cuz u can see some really cool visuals n make ur own worlds n stuff... its awesome

7. u may get hungry,, eat if u need 2 on the come down but ur not really gonna taste anything so like dont go splurge on a steak dinner, taco bell is always ol' reliable for me and my friends.

8. also i highly stress taking 5 minutes 2 close ur eyes n get lost in the worlds u can very vividly create in ur mind... its almost insane its like playing VR in ur head

9. ok so also... its a disassociative... so if ur laying down n all of a sudden u feel like ur going out of body.. dont freak out u are not dyingu know this scene from breaking bad where jesse is like slowly floating off the bedbc theres 2 types of dxm n theyre processed differently... the other type is the cvs kind in triple C’s and and delsym n dude....

10. dont follow these rules too strictly ((other than 2 of course)) just have an amazing time and hopefully you find what you're looking for :)

Well... theres not much left to say

Have an excellent voyage fellow dextronauts, hope this helps and say hi to all the beautiful space objects you see on your journeys for me :)

Stay safe loves <3

EDIT 5/24/2022:

This post got really ahead of me so I'm sorry for the very slow updating of info and all the unanswered chat messages in my inbox.

I will say in terms of asking questions feel free to inbox me but don't expect a prompt reply as I work 40-50 hour weeks and don't have much time, but I would always love to help... otherwise the community in this sub loves helping and they may even be better authorities than me (most of the safety I know was learned from this sub,, adamant educational googling and a LOT of trip experience lol)

Also a very common question is "what age do I have to be to do this drug"... I can't give you that info but legally (in the US at least) you have to be 18 to buy this from a pharmacy whether ur tripping or have a common cold... so start from there.

As a final note I hear HBR robotabs are coming soon lol... im excited n i'll update the guide as they come out with my experiences

I promise I will update this guide slowly with all the suggestions in my inbox and in the comments... just give me some time as I get very busy especially on the weekdays :)

Safe tripping y'all!
