This was effectively my first 1st/2nd plateau trip on DXM. I had accidentally reached high 3rd/maybe 4th about a year and a half before with the help of some other substances, and I'd also attempted to trip on syrup a month before this but got ill from all the extra sugars and such in the syrup. A is my wife and very experienced with DXM, at one point she took it daily but as far as I know she's never been above the 2nd plateau. I had accidentally undergone sleep deprivation right before this, sleeping about 4 hours out of 30 due to insomnia. I'm diagnosed with narcolepsy and insomnia but I think it's actually a non-24 sleep cycle.

Up until I went to bed I was sitting on the couch with A, I think with YouTube videos in the background. I was mostly scrolling through tumblr and reading online trying to figure out exactly how high I had gotten the first time I did DXM. I also generally tend to hang out naked because I find clothes unpleasant, but it was much easier to stand wearing clothes while I was high.

abt 6:45 Ate a burrito and some frozen lemonade.
7:45 Took 10 15mg gel caps with soda and water. I'm already feeling generally slightly drowsy due to prior sleep deprivation.
8:40 Feeling loose and loopy. Sitting on the couch with A, we both were sort of swaying around and giggling. I feel like I had a considerably better sense of rhythm than I normally do.
8:45 Swoooshyyyy! Danced to the crickets chirping while A vaped (nicotine) and stared at me in an extremely gay manner. Having a hardish time typing. Feeling pretty similar to how the first plateau is described. We had gone outside for her to smoke, I was feeling generally euphoric and loose, I don't dance very often while sober because I'm not very good at it. It was nice.

8:50 Took 10 more caps, goal is to hit the second plateau. Also snacked on some corn chips (about 4-7 oz)
9:00 Not feeling any of the physical effects (swooshy, light, etc) after eating. A says I appear swooshy and high still. Still feeling disinhibited.

9:45 A says she's peaking on the 2nd plateau but I barely feel anything. I'm 35-40 lbs heavier than her, so at this point we realized my dose was barely at the lower end of the second plateau for my body weight, plus I probably lowered the effective dose by eating, whereas hers had her firmly in the second.
9:57 5 more (to make up for my lower dose)
10:07 HELLA headache. Also hiccups. It was a pounding headache with ringing in my ears. Looking back I think I was dehydrated. The hiccups seemed to go on for much longer than they usually do. I don't know if it was because of screwy time perception or if they really did go on for longer.
10:38 Sleep time maybe? I have a strong impression that I dreamed while asleep but I don't remember any of it. I seem to have a tendency to sleep through peaking, it's been like this for everything I've tried except weed.

1:35 Ended up falling asleep. A just woke me up. Feel like the sleep was very restful, but I'm HORRIBLY itchy all over. Ended up sitting on the toilet for some reason? A says I said I needed to pee. The itchiness came on while I was sitting on the toilet (didn't pee). Ended up sitting in the bathtub without water, it's very cold and the cold helped my hand itchiness. They also feel very swollen "my hands felt just like two balloons" -Pink Floyd. A is moving the frankenbed around (We were experimenting with using a couple spare mattresses as a box spring because we were given a very uncomfortably hard mattress and they were helping, but A had an idea of how to use fewer of them to similar effect) while I type this zoned out on the floor. She's amazing.

The longer I'm awake the less I feel like that was restful sleep. (It had taken me about 10-15 minutes to type this so far) A got me a glass of water and a piece of bread with butter on it. The butter feels weird in my throat but it's helping a lot with the nausea. I want to do this again and get up to 3rd/4th like the first time but we need to choose some time I'm not all fucked in the sleep. I've had 7 hours of sleep in the past 36, and they weren't very good because we're still figuring out the frankenbed. The itchiness in my right hand has gone down a lot but not really in my left. I was feeling very intensely in love with A at this point.

1:30ish A gave me an antihistamine to help with the itch. 25mg generic Benadryl.
1:50 tried to help put the sheets on the bed but was WAY too dizzy when I tried to stand up.
1:57 Snuggle time!! I'm gonna watch YouTube and probably fall asleep again. The itchiness is almost entirely gone except in my hands. The bed feels amaaaaaaazing, and the blankets feel really warm and pleasant.

3:05 Woke up again, feeling first plateau swooshy and Extra Gay again. I kinda wanna play ukulele but I don't think I'm coordinated enough. Back to snuggles and youtube. Ended up taking my wedding ring off cause it's too small normally because I've gained weight since the wedding, and the swelling and itchiness in my ring finger wasn't going away. The itchiness has gone down a bit since. I also have a too small ring on my right ring finger but I can't get it off. Tried putting it cold water and in front of the AC but it won't come off. I'm gonna try to leave it alone for now, but make a habit of taking my rings off before I trip in general.

4:18 Gonna try to sleep

9:00 I think I finally fell asleep around 5? I woke up hopefully briefly to pee and turn off my alarm. Still feel slightly swollen, still can't get the finger off my right hand, but I didn't try very hard at all.

1pm Just woke up for the day. Feeling Good and Gay. Overall I feel really nice. Still have the uplifted mood, still feel slightly swooshy. Slightly swollen too. My lips are tingly but that's probably the hunger because I haven't eaten anything since the chips last night. A says I had a ton of body heat all night, I remember her commenting on it a couple times while I was awake. I feel sort of like I'm recovering from a low level fever, but with euphoria mixed in there.
