Question: What is DXM? And what are "plateaus?"?
Answers:
DXM, or Dextromethorphan, is a dissociative drug found in many cough medicines. It's one of the rougher drugs on the brain and one bad trip can cause you problems for the rest of your life. If you are considering abusing DXM, first off: don't, second: if you must abuse DXM, then pay attention because this little tip could save your life. You need to find a product that does not contain Acetaminophen. Cough medicine with Acetaminophen can easily kill you at the doses required to "robotrip".
As for plateaus:
? 1st Plateau: 1.5-2.5 mg/kg This is the weakest level. This feels slightly intoxicating, a little light headed. Some music euphoria is noticable
? 2nd Plateau: 2.5-7.5 mg/kg This level is often compared to being stoned and drunk at the sametime. When this might seem true, there is also a noticably strong "mental" high also. You can have trouble talking with slurring, and can have a hard time carrying on an indepth conversation, because your short-term memory can be temporarily impared. And occasionally you can have mild hallucinations.
? 3rd Plateau: 7.5-15 mg/kg This level has strong intoxications and hallucinations. Things can become very confusing as your thinking processes are disturbed. You can sometimes daze-off into your own world, and get lost in your own mind. Trips in this plateau can sometimes be unpleasant.
? 4th Plateau: +15 mg/kg This is the strongest level. This is a sub-anesthetic dose, and can be compared to a high dose of Ketamine. Your mind and body become seperated at this level and it can become dangerous psychologically, and physically. Personally I say that you should never have to go this high, it can be very dangerous. But whatever you do, NEVER go past 20 mg/kg (about 2000mg for a 220lb person), this can become very toxic and kill you.
There may also be a "sigma plateau", although its very existence is controversial. Most people who allegedly reach the sigma plateau don't come back.

wins392 has the perfect answer, i just wanted to confirm the sigma plateau.
the sigma plateau has extreme hallucinations, everything turns psychedelic, things start "expanding", "wiggling", "stretching", etc.
you can only achieve this by repeatedly dosing (150 mg every hour and 30 minutes), just be careful not to overdose, and be safe and responsible!
i've experienced the sigma plateau. ******* awesome.
