Dear Alice, I've heard some teens talking about the drugs they are doing and they keep mentioning DXing. They call it robo trippin'. When used as directed on the packaging or by a health care provider, it suppresses coughs effectively and presents few harms. For those who stick it out, and keep the stuff down, what follows is a variety of experiences, ranging from the mild to the painful and dangerous.
Anecdotes describe a series of plateaus of experience.
Some describe feeling like they're floating, which may not necessarily be pleasant. At higher doses, some describe the effects as feeling like being drunk and stoned at the same time, including a lack of coordination and mild hallucinations. This is what's known as dissociation. It is especially at these higher doses that users feel dextromethorphan's effects as unpleasant, and also raise their chance of having unsafe side effects. Other possible reactions are skin irritation, rash, and intense itching, sweating, slowed breathing, and irritability.
