Robo tripping refers to the effects DXM users feel when they take high doses of cough syrup or other DXM products. When “Robo tripping,” some users describe different "plateaus" ranging from mild distortions of color and sound to visual hallucinations, "out-of-body" dissociative sensations, and loss of motor control, along with other side effects such as confusion, dizziness, double or blurred vision, slurred speech, impaired physical coordination, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, rapid heart beat, drowsiness, numbness of fingers and toes, and disorientation.

Heather Talks About DXM Robo Tripping:
“My friend Steve told me about Robo tripping. He called it DXM – like a cough syrup -- he told me it would kinda be like tripping. It was a lot easier for me to obtain than some other drug. He told me that he threw up once when he did it and my boyfriend had done it a couple times before and he also told me he had gotten sick from doing it.

After I took it I wasn’t fully aware of what was going on. At one point I started to feel a little bit nauseous – this was a little early on and I got a littler nervous that that’s how I was going to feel the whole time.

I did get a little bit paranoid – like I said I wasn’t really aware of what was going on – my head felt really heavy at one point. It wasn’t really that fun – it wasn’t even a high. It was more of a feeling of total annihilation. I ended up lying down at one point and I just shut my eyes and my stomach was just turning.”
