DIPHENHYDRAMINE (deliriant)
Benadryl, DPH, Nytol, Sominex, Unisom, Quil, Zzz.
[] WARNING: Diphenhydramine is known to cause extremely dangerous and unpleasent experiences. Because of this, it is strongly advised that users find a trip sitter before taking this substance.
Description: "Diphenhydramine (DPH) is an antihistamine with anticholinergic and sedative effects. When taken in "recreational" dosages DPH becomes a notoriously powerful deliriant class hallucinogen, fully capable of producing hallucinations which are so realistic, they are indistinguishable from reality."
[] Available forms: cough syrups, liquid, pills, pure powder.
[] Routes of administration: IM, IV, oral.
[] Oral dosage: light: 100-200mg, common: 200-400mg, strong 400-700mg, heavy: 700mg+
[] Oral duration: 2-6 hours (onset: 30-90 minutes, come up: 45-90 minutes, peak: 1-4 hours, offset: 2-6 hours, after effects: up to 24 hours.)
[] Avoid using diphenhydramine in combination with:
- Benzodiazepines (e.g. alprazolam, diazepam, lorazepam,) may suppress the visual effects of diphenhydramine.
- Selective serotonin reuptke inhibitors (SSRIs) (e.g. citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine,) may suppress the visual effects of diphenhydramine.
- Stimulants (e.g. amphetamine, cocaine, MDMA,) may put excessive strain on the heart resulting in cardiac complications including but not limited to life threatening arhythmias/dysrhythmias and heart attack.
EFFECTS OVERVIEW:
DPH has a non-linear dose-response which is unlike other psychoactive substances. In other words, a light dose will not necassarily result in a light trip. Doses under 300mg commonly induce a body high and relaxation, while doses above 500mg may result in the user entering a state of full delirium, in which they will begin to see and hear fully-formed, extremely convincing hallucinations.
[] Physical effects:
- Considered positive: nausea suppression, tactile enhancement.
- Considered neutral: gustatory hallucinations, increased Heart Rate, motor control loss, olfactory hallucinations, perception of increased weight, pupil constriction, pupil dilation, rapid breathing, sedation, shivers, skin flushing, spontaneous tactile sensations, tactile hallucinations, tactile suppression, temporary erectile dysfunction.
- Considered negative: abnormal heartbeat, dizziness, frequent urination and difficulty urinating, increased blood pressure, increased bodily temperature, increased perspiration, muscle cramps, muscle spasms, nausea, physical fatigue, restless leg syndrome.
[] Cognitive effects:
The head space of DPH is dysphoric, is oftentimes described as negative, and has a tendency to incite extreme paranoia and feelings of impending doom. It is confusing, disorientating and will commonly result in a complete inability to communicate or understand normal language.
- Considered positive: dream potentiation.
- Considered neutral: confusion, creativity suppression, emotion suppression, decreased libido, delirium, dysphoria, derealization, disinhibition, dysarthria, emotion suppression, focus suppression, information processing. language suppression, memory suppression, motivation suppression, sleepiness, thought deceleration, thought disorganization, time distortion, wakefulness.
- Considered negative: anxiety, cognitive fatigue, delusions, depression, feelings of impending doom, paranoia, psychosis.
[] Visual effects:
Unlike traditional hallucinogens, deliriants do not enhance visual stimuli but instead tend to decrease and degrade visual acuity and processing.
- Distortionary: brightness alteration, drifting, object alterations, visual haze.
- Hallucinationatory: CEV's and OEV's including but not limited to alterations in perception, autonomous scenarios, autonomous entities, dreamscapes, plots and immersive scenery.
- Object activation: perceiving a static object to move in a fashion which is lifelike.
- Peripheral information misinterpretation: repeated mistakes concerning what one is percieving in their peripheral vision.
- Suppressionary: double vision, pattern recognition suppression, visual acuity suppression.
- Shadow people: during this experience, the user perceives a patch of shadow in their peripheral vision or focused visual field to be a living, autonomous figure.
- Transformations: perceiving the metamorphosis of parts of (or the whole of) one's external environment.
- Unspeakable horrors: hallucinatory content which is scary, disturbing in nature and commonly influenced by one's personal fears.
[] Auditory effects:
- Enhancements: enhancement of the acuteness and clearness of sound.
- Hallucinations: the experience of hearing spontaneous imaginary noises that either occur randomly or manifest in the place of noises that are subconsciously (or consciously) expected to happen.
- Suppression: the experience of audible sound becoming perceived as distant, quiet and muffled.
KETAMINE (dissociative/psychedelic)
K, Katy, Ketamine, Ketaset, "Special K", "Vet Tranquilizer
Description: "Ketamine is a dissociative psychedelic used medically as a veterinary and human anaesthetic. It is one of the few addictive psychedelics and is associated with researcher John Lilly." - erowid.org
[] Available forms: crystalized, liquid, pills, powder.
[] Routes of administration: IM, IV, oral, plugged, snorted.
[] Insufflated dosage: light: 15-30mg, common: 30-75mg, strong 75-150mg, heavy: 150mg+
[] Insufflated duration: 45-60 minutes (onset: 5-15 minutes, come up: 5-10 minutes, peak: 20-30 minutes, offset: 15-20 minutes, after effects: 2-12
[] Avoid using ketamine in combination with:
- Depressants (e.g. alcohol, benzodiazepines,) may result in loss of consciousness and death via suffocation caused by vomiting while unconscious.
- Stimulants (e.g amphetamine, cocaine, stimulating dissociatives such as diphenidine, ephenidine, MXE and PCP) this combination may potentiate the disinhibiting effects of dissociatives, particularly those with pronounced effects on motor and consciousness-suppression (like ketamine,) increasing the likelihood of the user suffering from a panic attack or even a psychotic episode.
EFFECTS OVERVIEW
[] Physical effects:
- Considered positive: pain relief, physical euphoria.
- Considered neutral: decreased libido, gustatory hallucinations, motor control loss, optical sliding, orgasm suppression, perception of decreased weight, physical autonomy, spatial diorientation, spontaneous tactile sensations, tactcile disconnection, tactile suppression.
- Considered negative: dizziness, nausea, watery eyes.
[] Cognitive effects:
- Considered positive: anxiety suprression, conceptual thinking, dream potentiation, immersion enhancement, increased music appreciation, introspection.
- Considered neutral: amnesia, analysis suppression, consciousness disconnection, déjà vu, depersonalization, derealization, disibhibition, focus suppression, information processing suppression, memory suppression, personal bias suppression, suggestibility enhancement, thought decelaration, time distortion.
- Considered negative: compulsive redosing.
[] Visual effects:
- Distortionary: environmental cubism, environmental orbism, distortions of perspective, scenery slicing.
- Geomotry: brightly coloured, immersive, simplistic and synthetic.
- Hallucinationatory: CEV's and OEV's including but not limited to alterations in perception, autonomous controllable scenarios, autonomous entities, plots and scenes.
- Suppresionary: double vision, frame rate suppression, pattern recognition suppression, visual acuity suppression and visual disconnection (resulting in holes and voids.)
[] Auditory effects:
- Distortions: perceived alterations in how audible sounds present and structure themselves.
- Enhancements: enhancement of the acuteness and clearness of sound.
- Hallucinations: the experience of hearing spontaneous imaginary noises that either occur randomly or manifest in the place of noises that are subconsciously (or consciously) expected to happen.
- Suppression: the experience of audible sound becoming perceived as distant, quiet and muffled.
[] Multi-sensory effects:
- Synaesthesia: in its fullest manifestation, this is a very rare and non-reproducible effect. Increasing the dosage can increase the likelihood of this occurring, but seems only to be a prominent part of the experience among those who are already predisposed to synaesthetic states.
[] Transpersonal effects:
- Existential self realization: a sudden realization, revelation or reaffirmation of one's existence within this universe.
- Unity and interconnectedness: an alteration in the cognitive rules which define both what one's sense of self or identity is attributed to and what it is felt as separate from.
DEXTROMETHORPHAN (dissociative)
Delsym, DexAlone, DM, DMO, Duract, DXM, Robitussin.
Description: "DXM is a widely available over-the-counter cough suppressant. When taken far above its standard medical dosage, it is a strong dissociative used primarily by teens." - erowid.org
[] Available forms: cough syrups, gel capsules, pills, pure powder.
[] Routes of administration: oral (cough syrups, gel capsules, pills,) snorted (pure powder.)
[] Oral dosage: light: 100-200mg, common: 200-400mg, strong 400-800mg, heavy: 800mg+
[] Oral duration: 8-12 hours (onset: 30-120 minutes, come up: 60-120 minutes, peak: 3-6 hours, offset: 2-4 hours, after effects: 4-24 hours.)
[] Avoid using DXM in combination with:
- Depressants (e.g. alcohol, benzodiazepines,) may result in nausea, loss of consciousness and death via suffocation caused by vomiting while unconscious.
- Dissociatives (e.g. ketamine, PCP,) may result in loss of consciousness and death via suffocation caused by vomiting while unconscious.
- Stimulants (e.g. amphetamine, cocaine,) may result in increased risk of developing anxiety, delusions, mania and psychosis.
[] Combinations in the list below may increase the amount of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine to dangerous or even fatal levels, see: serotonin syndrome.
- MAOI's (e.g. syrian rue, banisteriopsis caapi, 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, αMT, and some antidepressants.)
- Serotonin releasers (e.g. MDMA, 4-FA, MDAI and αMT.)
- Selective serotonin reuptke inhibitors (SSRIs) (e.g. citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine.)
- Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (e.g. desvenlafaxine, duloxetine, levomilnacipran)
- 5-HTP
EFFECTS OVERVIEW:
DXM has five distinct plateaus, each of which is associated with it's own set of unique effects:
First plateau (1.5-2.5mg/kg)
- First plateau is considered more stimulating than it is dissociative, with mild cognitive euphoria and increased music appreciation.
Second plateau (2.5-7.5mg/kg)
- All the effects of first plateau are typically present at this dose with the additional effects including but not limited to consciousness disconnection, physical euphoria, spatial disorientation, time distortion and pupil dilation. Second plateau is generally considered more sedating than first plateau.
Third plateau (7.5mg-15mg/kg)
- Effects present at this dose include all the effects of second plateau and additional effects including but not limited to anxiety, auditory hallucinations, closed eye visuals, dysphoria, ego death, memory suppression, nausea and sedation.
Fourth plateau (15-20mg/kg)
- Effects present at this dose include all the effects of third plateau (but more intense) with additional effects including but not limited to complete dissociation and mild open eye visuals.
Note: dosing any higher than fourth plateau is considered dangerous and carries a high risk of overdose.
Plateau sigma
- Plateau sigma is achieved by taking a second plateau dose, followed three hours later by another second plateau dose, followed by a fourth plateau dose which is to be taken in the peak of the previous second plateau dose. This results in an experience which is nearly always unpleasent and unpredictable, with trips lasting anywhere from 24 to 86 hours. Deliriant type effects are present throughout the plateau sigma experience, these include but are not limited to delusions, dysphoria and realistic open eye visuals.
Note: those who attempt plateau sigma run a high risk of developing potentially fatal serotonin syndrome, which could result in death. Because of this, DXM users should avoid attempting to achieve plateau sigma experiences.
