A Negative First Experience (240 mg of Coricidin)
The first time I took DXM was not a positive experience. My friend and I
bought Coricidin and proceeded to take six pills in a row, as recommended by
another friend. After about thirty minutes my friend and I foolishly decided
to take two more pills. A little bit later the effects hit me, I first felt
very hot then dizzy. I had to shut my eyes as floor patterns made me feel
sick. I thought I was okay and tried to stand up then had to run to the
bathroom where I puked for 10 minutes or so. The feeling was more intense
than anything I had ever experienced, I asked another friend, sober I might
add, to drive me home. On the way she had to pull over once so I could puke
again. I had trouble walking into my house, I felt tired, heavy and dizzy.
I went straight to bed where I had unrestful sleep. Periodically I would
wake up in the middle of the night very awake, then fall asleep. In the
morning I felt tired, shaky and weak. The effects did not wear off until the
next day. The friend who took the eight pills with me had great fun, she
loved it and felt energized the next day. I am still curious about DXM and
being more educated than before will try it again probably at a lower dose.
