I've been fighting a really bad cold and took a bunch of nyquil. When I failed to fall asleep, I noticed things had happened to my vision that were unexpected. Colors had changed. The sky was purple, and it seemed like things were coming closer to me than they are. If I focused this would go away but it took a lot of effort and I couldn't seem to maintain my concentration.
My friend told me i had taken DXM, a medication that is a cough suppressant and also causes you to halucinate. I hadn't known nyquil could do this. I had only a small ammount, my friend says he would take an entire box of some specific kind of cough drop to get him to see things and my halucination was very mild. I've been wondering, now that I'm a druggie(jk, one accidently experiment doesn't make a druggie) who out there has taken this stuff recreationally? |

I had some friends who used to Robi-trip on occasion. I'm told it's kind of a "dirty" experience. I've never done it myself.

I went to Robo World once in my early 20s. It was unpleasant and nauseating. I used to enjoy taking mental vacations, but this did not qualify as fun at all. The medicine is heavy and in addition the experience has a flavor of desperation to it. Thumbs down.

Not sure exactly, having never done it myself, only hearing about it, but I would imagine like what elbell described above. There are unpleasant overtones to the trip. It doesn't leave you feeling nice.

I kind of liked my brief exposure to it, and my friend who is into drugs real heavily(he is a meth addict, and has done every drug I know of(and more that I don't know of), aside from heroin and crack).
He told me I would like it better than shrooms or LSD because, though it gives you the same kind of hallucinations it is softer and you remain aware. he did say though that nyquil and shit like that is bad cuz it has other stuff in it, but if you take a whole bunch of stuff that is strictly DXM it is better. I kind of want to do it more, I want to do it at an ICP show at least once. I want to do it at disney land and I want to do it while I have sex. |

I'm confused. Did you take a "bunch of Nyquil" or did you only have a "small amount"? Was it the Psuedoephedrine or the DXM? Some Nyquil has Psuedoephedrine and I had a bad reaction from that one time in Nyquil that caused hallucinations. The only reason I ask is because it seems conflicting. If you had a small amount it may be a personal reaction. If you abused it, it can become addictive. If you felt rewarded by the experience be careful. My close friend messed himself up enough to need inpatient treatment and the treatment center had a fairly large population of mostly younger males abusing DXM, so be careful, it can wipe you out. ----------------------------- Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

I have friends who've used shrooms, LSD and other mind-altering drugs responsibly. On the other hand I've also had many friends who've swallowed, smoked and injected anything they could find.
The shrooms -even taken responsibly- had quite an impact. His sense of being dislodged from reality lasted a week, i think. I've been warned off of LSD and Salvia. (Wouldn't have taken 'em even if i hadn't been warned. It scares me to have my mind altered.) If you want to experiment with recreational drugs don't take a "bunch of nyquil" or swallow what people give you. Do your research. The internet is great for that. Be sure you know what the hell it is you're swallowing. If something goes wrong someone might need to tell the doc. Don't do it alone. Make sure one of the group involved is sober. Do your research on dosage, and never take more than the amount advised. If you're going to experiment: do it. But don't be an idiot. If your friend's a crackhead and does heroin and Meth he might not be trustworthy on the subject of dope. If you get with a crowd that uses *that* kind of stuff, you're in trouble. Believe me when i tell you you will at some point say "yes" to something you want to answer with a resounding "no". I don't have to tell you that you do *not* want to take Meth, Crack or Heroin. Again, do your research, and don't be an idiot. Know what you're taking. Your experience with a "bunch of Nyquil" is not on par with any mind-altering drug i know of. So be prepared. ~You are a *Taverner*. Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication, you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~ -Royko |

my opinion on this is sort of stark: if you enjoyed it, don't do it again. because if you enjoy it again, you'll do it more. and that's addiction. and you DO NOT want to be addicted to ANY of the mind-altering stuff. nicotine and caffeine are bad enough. alcohol is a squillion times worse, and most drugs are worse still.
the few times i've thought "man, if i only had a drink to help get through this shitty stuff that life is flinging at me", those are the times i have most meticulously steered clear of alcohol. but enjoying it is that start of something you might find overwhelms you. my opinion only, and i have to add that it's coloured by having had a brother who was addicted to god knows what, and who eventually committed suicide after many many unsuccessful suicide attempts. including one occasion where he threw himself under a train when he was high on a cocktail of many many drugs, including ketamine, crack, shrooms and probably LSD as well. that one left him with brain damage and a face that didn't look like his any more.

Yeah. That's why I'm careful not to enjoy anything.
I wish that was a joke. Since my manic/psychotic episodes started/got diagnosed/put me in the hospital/whatever, I can no longer trust any positive emotion or good mood. The drugs are already in my brain. -Natalie ----*-*-*-*---- Not really human, just turns into one on the full moon. I've totally got deviantARTs.

Maybe you enjoyed it but I say skip making it a recreational habit. Lots of really bad things make you want to do them again.
And I think your friend has it wrong. I don't recall that it was "softer" or that I was more aware. In fact I would say I was less aware than when I tried other things. It was a more dangerous feeling, like I was not connected to my control box. When I did the other things, even though I saw dancing bears in the stars and my feet looked a mile away, I still was me inside. I think some other things supress the you in a really bad way. But hey, all in all, be safe, do what you will, but harm none. Including yourself! |

I agrees. I never did any experimenting; too many alcoholics in the family, and I know myself well enough to know I have addictive tendencies. the husband, however, did my share of experimenting for me (alcohol, acid, cocaine once by accident [a laced joint], but mostly pot), and, even though he still misses the high and/or the buzz and sometimes has that urge to drown a shitty day, he'll tell you that his life is better now that he's sober. ~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.

I've been really sick and took some nyquil at work, I was trying to sleep in my car while I wait for my mother cuz we drive together and its a long drive. I couldn't sleep so I kept taking the nyquil caps cuz I didnt realize it would have an effect on me. I couldn't sleep at first and once I finally had, when I woke up the sky was the wrong color and shapes were inconsistant and I felt really fucking calm. My friend j explained it to me, he said it was the DXM in nyquil, but that i should be careful with nyquil because it has tylenol in it which if you take too much can kill you by fucking up your liver really badly. I'm 26, I don't know what you call younger, but I feel like I'm old enough to decide. I only drink two or three times a year and I come from a long line of addicts so I've got a pretty strong resistence. I want to try it again a few times. I dunno though. |

I should clarify, my friend is a RECOVERING meth addict, and has and still uses other drugs, but has never done crack or heroin. I've been around drugs my whole life. My dad smokes crack, my brother sells crack and I've had about half my family in and out of jail for other drug related crimes. At any one time in my child hood people living in my house have had on them pretty much every drug you can name and I've always been good about saying no, and not having a problem. the whole "peer pressure" thing never made sense to me, but I don't really care who "accepts" my answer when I say no. I've never done any drugs before but my accidently taking too much nyquil and seeing things was a rather pleasant experience. I've been doing my research. I was just curious who here does anything like this as I know we get a lot of different people on here. |

My apologies. It appears I'm the one on dope: i apparently can't *read* even. Sorry 'bout that.
Pardon me for being an interfering bitch. I know i have no right to say this. But you need to get out of there. ::hugs:: good luck with that.
I'm not talking "peer pressure" but when you're under influence, be it alcohol, XTC or what have you, things sometimes seem like a *brilliant* idea, that are plainly not. ~You are a *Taverner*.

Oh, I get what you mean now.
