Ive been tripping on DXM for about a year now, amassing over 200 trips, tripping almost nonstop for the entire year. I would like to share some helpful information and 1 intense experience.
First of all, avoid cough medicines. Stick with the pure powder.
I would recommend starting out with about 300 mg's of pure powder (available from JLF) on an empty stomach, or if you eat beforehand, eat something light like graham crackers or fruit. Don't eat anything greasy as you will most likely puke and feel ill. If you arent experienced, try it with a few friends; it's a real 'bonding' drug. Usually you will be very talkative. When you start tripping, which could take anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours, but usually about 45 minutes, make sure to drink a lot of water or o.j. Staying hydrated will keep you feeling well. Grapefruit juice oxidizes the DXM faster, making for a more intense trip, but too much will leave you lightheaded and dizzy. Drink one or two shots at a time. Smoking pot is really intense and may produce open eye visuals, and almost definitely closed eye visuals. It tends to slow down time incredibly. Listening to music is highly recommended. Don't smoke out of a bong, you will probably be really overwhelmed and discombobulated. Take one or two small hits at a time out of a pipe or joint. If its available, I recommend smoking good weed. Theres a world of difference between schwagg and nuggets while youre tripping. Thats about it for starters.
Side effects are pretty slim, but if you're prepared, they won't seem as frightening.I'll list the 6 most common ones I see. 1. Sexual side effects are difficulty in getting it up or having an orgasm and dryness in females. If you're not having sex, common side effects are: 2. difficulty seeing. You may have to close or cover one eye to see. 3. difficulty walking or walking like a robot is funny to other people but if it bothers you, just sit down. 4. sometimes a person falls into a trance and stares straight ahead without blinking or moving or communicating. talk to them reassuringly and ask them what they're seeing or feeling. this often will snap them out of it. This may be frightening to other people, but usually is a good time for the tripper, so don't panic. 5. If you have difficulty breathing or if your heart beats quickly, just sit down and relax. 6. the next day you may feel a bit disconnected and trippy. smoking weed may bring on a trip more intense than the actual one, so be prepared.
trips commonly look like this:
start 45 mins
peak 3-6 hours
come down 3-24 hours

This drug tends to have a bad name, but in my experience,if you take the proper precautions and use common sense it is extremely safe. One word of caution, however. Do not use this drug if you have any mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. DXM tends to intensify or bring out your personality, so do yourself and others a favor and don't take any.
Tripping a lot may give you heightened sensitivity to other drugs like alcohol or weed.
Keep in mind that with any research chemical, long-term side effects (5+ years down the road) are relatively unknown.
Thats all I have to say as far as recommendations.

I would like to share my most intense trip. This was probably around the 40th or 50th trip and I was eating coricidin cough and cold pills (not recommended) I started with 13 and after an hour or
so, was not having the desired effects, so i grabbed 2 or 3 more.
(I was soon to find out that the trip was just slow in starting)
I did this about seven or eight times and before i realized it, i had downed 29 of them. My trip peaked about 20 minutes later, and i was having a hard time moving at all. I sat motionless in a comfy armchair and had some hardcore visions. it started with me flying through this jumbled maze of intense fluorscent lights and colors and moved on to me sitting in the chair and then slowly rising out of my body. It was all black except for the armchair with me in it.
it was like i was watching from the ceiling. at this point i felt a rising pressure throughout my body and i could feel what can only be described as my 'soul' being ripped from my body and then slowly
put back in, but with a little something extra. To be honest, i thought i was being posessed. At this point a friend shook me to consciousness to make sure i was ok, and then left, whereupon I slipped back into my vision. this time it was as if my eyes were open looking in to the room. except that the house started to shake and suddenly split in half, causing me to fall through the floor into a black void. my friend shook me again and i opened my eyes.
seconds later i was back in the vision state and 3 more times watched the house being ripped in two. these visions are incredibly lifelike and cannot be distinguished from reality. i will remember this for the rest of my life and its one of my favorite memories. It was FUCKING TOTALLY AWESOME and theres no other way to describe it.
i find the human brain to be amazing and DXM is a good way to unlock some hidden areas which will otherwise go unused.
anyway im going home to eat some DXM, so good bye!
