You should try DXM for an interesting "baby ketamine" experience. Just get the pure Robotussin gelcaps, I wouldn't do less than 2 bottles and actually thats generally a good place to start for a decent 2nd plateau trip without getting into the more crazy upper echelon dissociative effects and experience

2 bottles of gelcaps? that seems ill-advised

Its seems crazy right? I mean I guess you can start with one but its best used a bit stronger than that and for a purpose like resetting when you'vr been in a bit of a rut.

Be sure to keep something around to catch any vomit, personally I've almost never not vomited once when it starts to kick in. Have music and media to consume

ehh it wont(ymmv?) kill ya but it sure will rock your world that is certain. truly ill-advised would be to take 60-100mg of benedryl with them, that will shatter reality itself

That would likely ruin it. Deliriants are hell in pills

As a teen, DXM was a frequent escape. I always liked the 'afterglow', which seemed to lift my mood for a week or afterwards. When I saw the studies come out about ketamine years later, it all made sense.

However, I introduced it to my peer group back then and in college, and there were some that seemed to be slow metabolizers of DXM. Ketamine is shorter in duration and lacks (minimizes) many of the worst aspects of DXM like body nausea/body load.

It has a good resetting effect for sure

That's probably too much to be casually recommending on the internet, but this is a real therapy now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dextromethorphan/bupropion

Mix with sprite, pour it over some ice, and add a couple of your favorite jolly ranchers. That's the start of a good weekend.

You're thinking of codeine (purple drank). DXM is different

Oh true sorry I hope that didn't undermine your recommendation of recreational megadoses of OTC medication.

I genuinely can't tell if there's some spice in your comment here haha
