In my research of OTC highs, the two main ones that stuck out were dextromethorphan and dimenhydrinate. I have used DXM five times now and I have found the trips quite insightful.

Summary
Scopolamine is an extremely potent anticholinergic deliriant; doses above the therapeutic range can cause true hallucinations, complete memory fragmentation, dangerous confusion, hyperthermia, and severe dehydration. Accurate measurement is critical—milligram scales are required. Recreational use is strongly discouraged in unsupervised settings.

It was the summer of going from grade nine to high school. By this time I had been smoking weed steadily for two years, tried various types of opiates and hallucinogenic, and Id even formed a border line addiction with both prescription amphetamines and benzodiazepines.
This is a story of me have a trip (if u can call it that) off of scopolamine, even though I didnt relize it till months later.( I think I may be hypersenstive to it or something) -------------------------------------------- 2 summers ago I went to my uncles house in virgina to go fishing.
When I was eight years old, I was prescribed a scapolamine patch by a physician's assistant for nausea. They applied the patch to my neck, and after only a few hours (3-4 at the very most) my sister had realized something wasn't right and removed the patch, promptly thereafter washing the area on which the patch had be...
This experience was so radical I still remember it vividly after 30 years. My friends came up on a pallet load of expired drugs from a hospital headed for the hazmat dump site. We went thru the hard stuff MS, Diluadid, Dexoxyn, etc.
Subject orally ingested 7mg of racemically-pure scopolamine HBr in aqueous vehicle. No other psychoactive substances were combined with the scopolamine. The quantity of scopolamine is decided upon because it is 1/50 of a lethal murine dose; subject figures that this is a sufficient safety factor.

I was recently dosed unwittingly and I have been trying to figure out what I was given. I have no experience with Date Rape drugs but it fit all of the symptoms I have read. How could this have been given to me while fast asleep, needles? Is there a spray or something? I did not have any alcohol in my system.
0.3mg tablets weight: 145 lbs age: 18 not all these times are correct as i was so fucked up to know the real time or fake. T+0:00 - drinking T+1:00 - finished half the bottle and dosed 5 tablets 1.5mg (didnt really expect to hallucinate off this low dose as iv done 6.3mg before and tripped hard) T+1:40 - feel really si...
