dunno how much for an OD, but I did it a few times
stupidest thing ive ever done, I drank 4 bottles, what a terrible idea that was. no trip, no visuals, nothing. I had the WORST migrane possible and any slight sound made me so incredibly angry

i think on erowid there's a chart with all the doses including a "lethal" dose. I think its on erowid though it may be somewhere else

Depends on what's in your cough preparation. If you're using one that contains other active ingredients than DXM, chances are the quantity needed to overdose wouldn't be too high.

The DXM trip is heavily dependent on your weight and personal physical variables, so the amount it would take to overdose obviously varies. If memory serves, the official DXM FAQ states that an 'overdose' lies in the infamous "fifth plateau", which for me, I'm guessing would be about six bottles of tussin. Not sure, though. Since there's an overwhelming amount of information on the subject ALL OVER THE INTERNET (including this site), I'd recommend a quick google search.

Nevermind, I found this in some random DXM faq.

************************** TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION ****************************

TOXICOLOGY:
Oral TDLo (child): 30 mg/kg (central nervous system effects) (SAX)
Oral LD50 (rat): 350 mg/kg (RTECS)
Oral LD50 (mouse): 165 mg/kg (RTECS)
Subcutaneous LD50 (rat): 423 mg/kg (RTECS)
Subcutaneous LD50 (mouse): 153 mg/kg (RTECS)

If you don't know what LD50 is, find out. Know your drug before you take it.

Why would you wanna overdose on cough medicane have you got a headache

"Why would you wanna overdose on cough medicane have you got a headache?"

I think she wants to know because she might be trying it sooner or later. Depending on ur weight it's 1300-2500 (usually 1250). How much do you weigh? I can tell you that I am 145 pounds and I've done 900mg (60 pills, 3 pill bottles, or robotussin (15mg dex) and I passed out for 17 minutes (first time I have ever fainted). It was the absolute funnest night except for the fact that I almost died.

So I would say the number of bottles would also be affected by the dosage of dxm in each bottle and the size of each bottle. Usually it's 4 oz. or 8 oz of 15mg.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: This would also be affected by any medications that you are taking at the time.

no Ive dome DXM before and didnt like it. im 100lbs, took about 2 tablespoons.it was OK in the first 40 minutes but the remaining 4hours felt like I was falling.

my retarted friend here took an entire 8oz bottle. he weighs maybe 190. passed out in the kitchen for 10 minutes, then begged me to drive him home.

roughly 2000 mg... its a lot more than that.. but you should be safe as long as you don't drink like 10 bottles.

By the way, 1 4oz bottle of robitussin maximum cough is 354 mg. 1 bottle of 20 gelcaps is 300 mg.
