Warning about cough syrup

[Euphoric]

DXM is not addictive. You've already made it clear that you've never tried it and have no interest in it so why spread false information? That really makes my blood boil. Knowledge over hype over ego.

sure about that yo?

all drugs can be psychologically addictive (i.e. GOTTA HAVE MY COFFEE IN THE MORNING :stoned: ) so this includes DXM.

Prolonged use has been shown to cause physical dependance, also.

But its still a yummy drug fun for the whole family EUPHORIC APPROVEDtm

qouteth the erowid

Regular or frequent DXM use can lead to craving the experience and to emotional dependence. Ã? Although not common, some people go on to use DXM daily and can find it difficult to quit.

It is not yet established whether regular use of DXM causes physical dependence (physical withdrawal symptoms upon stopping regular use). Some users report a 1-2 week "hangover" period after stopping use which could suggest mild physical withdrawal. There is no evidence of life-threatening health risks from withdrawal, but there is little data available on the subject.

Yes, I'm quite sure of that. When I think "addiction" and "withdrawl" I think of shakes and projectile vomit not a couple days of the blues. The point was that it is wrong to go around spreading false information because of the size of your ego especially considering this thread is about how someone almost died. He almost died because of acetaminophen toxicity not his "addiction" to DXM.

most of the injury of dxm use to the body is because of the other things in the cough syrup, NOT the dxm itself...most, but not all...thats why i think the goverment is so stupid about regulating drugs. the american goverment wont sell pure dxm for cough use, because it would be used for a high, so they only manufacture if with all kinds of other, more harmful drugs...its like legalizing pot, but putting rat poison in it

^^Like they did with ciggarettes...

Anyways im an experienced DXMer, and i know DXM can have some really uncomfortabe side effects, if used frequently. I only limit myself to one trip on DXM a month. I used to trip 3-4 times a week, on doses 600mg-810mg. Let me tell you...it fucked up my life. I got caught stealing cough syrup one day, and my dad caught me tripping DXM one day. I still love the DXM trip, but i wont let it overtake me anymore. I mkae sure my parents are gone when i trip, and i only take doses of 300-500 mg now.

As for DXM affecting the liver....It really does...even just the DXM itsself fucks it up. If you say it doesnt your in denial. Anyways from my experience. DXM hurts your liver if you do it alot (like i used to). I even got to the point where, when i digested just food, it would hurt my liver. That's when i quit for 6 months. THen i got into the 1 trip a month thing.

Its a good idea to limit yourself, and make a schedule, of when u want to trip, otherwise you might wake up every morning, feeling shit faced.

Nobody has made claims about how harmful DXM is or is not. I don't believe it itself is harmful on the liver however. Reviewing my information I only see liver trouble only in people missing the key enzyme required to process DXM and people combining it with other active and inactive ingredients. The most information on DXM harm comes from information on Olney's Lesions that, the last time I checked, had never actually been found in a human after prolonged/intense use of DXM. I believe that places harm in the "theoretical" category. Of course each person has to weigh his own risks.

Combining it with other things is really what causes the most harm on the body. The shear amount of sugar in cough syrup is why I steered away from it. I know exactly of the liver pains you speak of and they were all experienced after using a product that just wasn't clean (syrup, gelcaps). You can experience very unpleasant side effects after frequent/intense use, yes. Other than being completely horrible at the time, I have not seen and have not experienced problems from DXM after stopping use.

I had profound good and bad experiences. It was worth it but I did a heck of a lot of reading before I ever put it into my body.

rant...
it's YOUR fucking fault for being stupid enough to not to research on which cough syrups you shouldn't drink, you fucking dumb kid
rant off.

Blah blah blah....

What you see here is a great advertisement for not using OTC products that contain active ingredients OTHER THAN ONLY DXM to achieve a DXM effect.

This information has been around since the 80s. Stop blaming the drug because fucking C-tards won't do their homework.

blah blah blah blah.

Shut up lemonboy. I DON'T CARE. Like really man. Cuddle up with your hobo drink and have fun buddy.

[Jeff Spicoli]

Why do you consider it a hobo drink?
last time I checked hobo's choose alcy over robotussin

[rantingsweed]

i noticed on the other thread doctorzorders that you said you OD'd on tylenol with dxm in it, if im not mistaking im pretty sure you shouldnt take enough tylenol with dxm to trip. you OD'd because of the tylenol ingredients NOT the dxm.

everything i said in there was from information ive known about tylenol, and read for quite some time about dxm, but im not an expert. anyways please be sure you know of what your talking about what you OD'd on. unless you took over 3000 mg dxm?( i am pretty sure that is the near fatal limit?)

[Flesh420]

I was gonna try some triple C's today, but i decided against it, i thought "no, ill drink instead"

Dude do them only do them once but do them take about 5 or 6 and trust me u will love it. If it waznt so deadly (Just been told that so i havent touched them but one time) then it would be awsome.
