I've been using DXM for half a year, yet lately i layed off it for a good reason. I keep having sharp pains in my kidney and liver, even when i havent had any in a few weeks...this could be bad, i dont want to have liver damage.. Mabye its just side affects still arising week later? When ever i eat something though, i feel the same sharp pain. Anyone else have this?

I've eaten plenty of pickles, and I've had plenty of sharp stomach pains. Therefore pickles cause stomach pains. Right? No. The only side-effect I keep from all the DXM is the sensation of knowing how I'd react to or perceive something on DXM.

How are you using the DXM? What cough and cold preperations (if any), how frequently, do you re-dose etc...

Could be partly from all the sugar in the cough syrup. That's bad for your kidneys. ( But you'd have to be doing it very frequently and with large portions of syrup.)

But I'm no doctor, that's just something I read and I'm not at all sure that that's what your problem is. You'll have to give more details.

Did you take it with any other medication/drug or while some other medication was still in your system?

If you're concerned, go to the doctor. I agree with the tip about the sugar though. Chugging a bottle of Robo is like chugging a bottle of Chocolate syrup. Probably not a good thing to do too frequently :)

I have extensive experience with DXM and while I don't do it anymore I also never experienced anything like that. Though, everyone is different. Try drinking more water over the next few days and see if you feel any better.

It's getting better, since i haven't done DXM in a while, i used the pure powder, extracted from sucrets. So im not sure if the sugar falls to the bottom too. I don't think dxm should be the thing for me, since whenever i take it i get these pains.

After so many trips the magic of DXM disappears pretty quickly anyway. It was fun while it lasted but I'd rather have bud.
