It was last Thursday when I decided to trip on some DXM. I was in school and my lunch period came, and I went to the main courtyard of my school and went to my usual spot to meet my good friend. We went off campus and he mentioned that he wanted to steal some DXM from the store by our school. And of course, I was in. I have done DXM 3 times prior to this trip and loved the effects of it and intended to do it again. So we went up to the store by our school, and grabbed our food. We then headed over to the medicine aisle and found some bottles of cough syrup with DXM as the only active ingredient and my friend got the 89 ml and I got the 148 ml. We stuck them in our hoodies, paid for the food and walked out. We then did what we usually did and walked over to the trail behind the store where we have smoked weed in the past and hit our vapes before heading back to school. We took the DXM out of our hoodies and I decided I was going to do it tonight after work. But my friend decided to do his bottle now since it was smaller. He drank the bottle and we hit our vapes, ate talked and headed back to school.

School and work was kind of a blur to me, since it was like any other day. But I got off work at 9 pm and headed home and then realized I still had my DXM in my backpack. I took the bottle out and stared at it for what seemed like 30 minutes, contemplating whether I should take it now or wait another day. I decided to just drink it, since I was most likely going to do doing things the next day after school. I drank the whole bottle plus an additional 100 mgs of DXM, so about 988 mgs of DXM. I have never done that much DXM before. My last 3 times were about 700 mgs but I had the courage to do the whole thing plus more. I looked at the time. 10:00 pm. I knew it was going to take a long time to kick in, since it was Dextromethorphan Polisterex.

10:30 P.M- No noticeable affects, just went on my laptop and watched some Netflix and listened to music and waited for the onset.

11:00 P.M: No noticeable affects.

11:15 P.M: I got up to get some water, and when I got up I noticed my legs felt a tad bit heavier but it was not really anything too out of the ordinary.

11:30 P.M: Onset. I remember looking around my room and feeling slightly dizzy. I got up and walked around my room and felt that drunk feeling I knew so well. It was coming. I got excited and walked around some more and got back in bed and waited for my peak.

12:00 A.M: My peak was coming rapidly. Way quicker than I thought. I felt like I drank a boat load of alcohol and smoked a ton of weed. I noticed when I looked at my ceiling I noticed a very bright square flash then disappear on my ceiling. I then decided to shut my eyes and put on some music and let the DXM control me. My closed-eye-visuals were amazing, as well as music. I felt so euphoric, and completely restless even though I was in my room when it was very dark at midnight on a school night. I remember while listening to music and keeping my eyes shut I moved my head around. It made my visuals more intense and euphoric. I was having an amazing time.

1:00 A.M: Peak(?) I decided to turn off my music and head to bed. But once I opened my eyes my room was so weird looking. I can’t describe it well, but the best way I can describe it was that it looked like it was slowly melting. I was extremely dizzy and felt very twisted. Shutting my laptop and setting it on my floor was so difficult. Sitting up from my laying position was nearly impossible. But I managed to do it, and lay back down on my bed and attempt to sleep. As my eyes were shut it was impossible to sleep. My closed eye visuals were super, super intense. Nothing like I have ever experienced before. This is when I realized how dissociated I was. I completely forgot that I had taken DXM a few hours prior. I knew that I had done it, but I completely forgot the name of it. I then opened my eyes and sat up in my bed. I looked around and my room was still melting. I remember giving myself a test to see how dissociated I was. I decided to repeat my name and address out loud to see. Before I began I thought “Wait, what is my name again?” And then tried anyways. I was completely wrong. I then tried to sleep again and lay back down and shut my eyes. I went to a different world. I cannot describe it at all, besides it seemed like I was with people talking to them, and seeing these super weird trees.

1:15 A.M: This is where my memory gets hazy. I remember I opened my eyes and came back to earth and realized I had to pee. This is the first time I tried to walk in a long time. It was nearly impossible. I got up and I felt so dizzy and drunk and high. I was walking out of my room when I tripped and almost fell on my laptop charger cord. I opened my door and basically fell out of my room and slammed into the wall since I couldn't walk well. I guess I still had a little bit of sober me in my head because I told myself to be quiet and not wake up my parents. I then put put both arms on the wall as support and slowly inched to the bathroom. I got to my bathroom, let go of the wall and stumbled into the bathroom. I turned on the lights and took a piss somehow.

After I finished I wanted to look at myself in the mirror to see how dilated my eyes were and I somewhat forgot what I looked like. I looked at myself in the mirror super closely and for some reason it seemed like my eyes were totally normal, but I know it was the DXM because I have a photo of myself from that night and my eyes were huge. Then I observed myself. I did not look like me. I cannot describe it, but I looked alien. And it honestly scared the hell out of me. I stared at myself wide eyed and terrified of how alien I looked, and I was convinced that's how I normally look. I then shrugged it off, turned off the lights, grabbed the wall with both arms again, and inched my way to my room. I then fell on my bed and closed my eyes again and entered that same world I was at and after that forgot how to open my eyes again. I was pretty much stuck in this planet. But I was too dissociated to care.

2:00 A.M: I have completely lost track of time and do not remember a lot, so the time was a guess. I was in my own world. I then had a thought of listening to music. I somehow opened my eyes for the first time in a long time. My room looked so bizarre. I examined my room for a while and the objects seemed so much taller than usual. I then went to grab my laptop. The drunk and high feelings were intense as hell, so it was super hard. All of a sudden, I made it like a mission. I had voices in my head cheering me on and I said out loud to my voices in my head, “I'm going to grab my laptop.” I then reached down and grabbed it, turned it on and the voices in my head were celebrating, giving me more euphoria than I already had, which was a lot to begin with.

I went on spotify and played some songs. They sounded like something I have never heard before. They sounded so alien like, and it was so fascinating. I listened to music and had my eyes shut like before, but I was not having closed eye visuals anymore. I was just out of planet earth. I was somewhere that I cannot name and cannot describe. I then decided to turn off my music and just lay down on my bed and turned towards my window. I all of a sudden thought my room was a forest. I ignored that thought and closed my eyes again. I have no idea who I was talking to, I don't remember their voices, I have no idea what we were talking about, I don't remember any of that. I think the voices were some kind of entities. I was in that world for the rest of the night. Until 7 AM. I do not remember anything else.

7:00 A.M: It felt like I just woke up, but I knew that was not true, I knew I was wide awake and did not sleep at all. I shut my eyes again and it was normal again. So maybe I was asleep, I am not sure. I still felt the effects of the DXM, but they were less intense now. My room looked normal again, I was able to walk after I took some practice laps around my hallway upstairs before going downstairs to converse with my dad. I did not want him seeing me stumble. I still felt extremely drunk and high at the same time. I listened to music before getting ready for school and it still sounded super fascinating and amazing. I then got the hang of walking, got ready for school and went downstairs. I was definitely not able to drive to school, so I had my dad drive me. I think I was able to act somewhat sober since I was not too dissociated anymore. I just told him I was tired. Riding in the car felt so good. I savored every second of the ride. I got to school and was walking on campus so out of it. I got to my first period and I had that class with my good friend mentioned in the beginning of the story. I told him about my experience last night and told him I was still pretty messed up. He could tell. I ended up falling asleep in that class and he looked out for me.

The rest of the day I was slowly coming down, and I fell asleep in almost every one of my classes, since I did not sleep at all the night prior and the DXM was mostly out of my system, but I still felt drunk. My lunch period comes again and me and my friend meet up again, head to the store and he says he is going to steal some DXM again. I said okay, but did not want to steal any. I was going to take a break from it for a while, since it was so intense the night prior, but I will definitely do it soon, because it was amazing. Overall it was a super therapeutic and enjoyable experience. It gave me a different perspective to the world. It taught me how intense this drug is, and how amazing it really is. And to this day, I cannot decide what plateau I reached, I want to say it was either upper 3rd plateau or lower 4th plateau.
