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.
