Intro: DXM Addict

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, so I just wanted to introduced myself. Im 25, a uni student, a muso, also a wannabe author. I consider myself a very bright person, but for the past two years Ive been abusing DXM. It started in 2011, out of curiosity. The first time I tried it I simply fell in love with it, and kept going back for more. I was living in the city at the time, where I had access to many different chemists, and was able to get some when ever I wanted. But I live in the country now, about an hour away from where I used to live. There are some places I can get it now, but its more difficult. So my intake has dropped to at least once a week, as opposed to 3 or 4 times. I also order it from the net and have it delivered to my house, which has become a problem... When I take it Im usually doing 2x 200ml bottles, but the high isnt where it used to be, my tolerance has grown dramatically
Its something that I really want to stop, but I find myself thinking about it all the time, and whenever I am near a chemist or pharmacy I usually find myself going in. Its gotten to the point now where I am embarressed to enter because Im sure that they recognise me as the 'Robitussin Guy'.

I try to stop, but just two weeks will go buy and Im usually indulging again. Ive kept it a secret from my girlfriend for the past year, and Im beginning to feel incredibly guilty and depressed because she does so much for me, and I go behind her back all the time. If she knew I was doing this it would break her heart.

Im interested in talking to others about their problems with DXM as well. Thanks for reading...

Hi rpage

I've never done DXM but I wanted to welcome you anyway.
This place is great support - it really made a difference for me and my own problems.

good to have you here

Man, I have no real helpful insight, but I can totally relate. I went through a period of DXM abuse and it's ugly. It got to the point that I couldn't tell when it was affecting me or not. My mind and thinking patterns were severely disrupted. Very nasty stuff. And yes, tolerance increase quickly. I had to just ween myself of it like any other addiction.

Ive been trying to ween myself off it. Im trying to keep it down to once a month. I dont believe myself when I say Im going to just flat out stop... My cravings for it havent been so bad lately, but sometimes I really get the itch...
Its so difficult considering that its so easy to get, and relatively cheap, and plus no one has to know im doing it...

I also went through a DXM phase. I can tell you that is a crazy substance, especially for something available over the counter. It's such a scary thing at the higher doses. I don't think I've ever been AS convinced that I was gonna die than the night I completely zonked out on DXM. The mind/body detachment felt so real and frightening to me. I remember reasoning with myself "ok, I guess I won't be able to wake up in the morning. This is how they'll find my body...next to some bottles of Robo. ****." I can tell you that peeking over the edge of reality like that became pretty enjoyable to me. That is some scary stuff.

I know exactly what your talking about... I often have these closed eye experiences where I feel myself floating away and travelling to far off lands... Thats one of the major things that draws me back to it. Being able to escape reality so easily...
I once had a terrible trip though where I was convinced I had driven myself insane, it lasted for at least 4 hours. Scariest time of my life by far...

This guy and I used to do DXM all the time in college. DXM begins to distort your reality and you almost live in a fantasy world confusing this with reality. You were doing it 3-4 times a week? Not good! Now only once a week? Still not good! DXM has the potential to do irreversible brain damage, cause mental disturbances, and bring on psychosis. Best thing to do is find a way to leave that crap alone for good. The cheaper the drug, usually the more damage it will cause in the long run. You will regret it in the end.
