using medicines w/ dxm?

[slpntrx5]

okay, sorry to start another thread about this shit, but i didnt feel like hijacking a thread. so, i've heard that a lot of medicines w/ dxm in them are potentially deadly. so how can i figure out which ones arent? should the ONLY active ingredient be dxm and the inactives be just whatever or should i go through all of the inactives too and research them all? im so confused! i just wanna simple trip!

delsym would work but its hard to find and alot worse for you than other ones....

but you are right that the ONLY active ingredient should be dextromethorphan. One of the reasons that you shouldnt use it very much is because of those extra nonactive ingredients like the pill shell and the goop and stuff which isnt good for you at high doses. But dont worry about them.

I reccomend the robituss 8 hour coughgels because they are easy to down and if u take the whole bottle u trip balls from anywhere to around 7-11 hours. just remember dont do it more than once or twice a month at most... most p[eople do it 3 times a year or less.

I know that you can die if you take any product with DXM while you are currently taking an MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor).

A more detailed explanation from Erowid.org

Do not take DXM if you are using, or have used an MAO Inhibitor within the last 2 weeks.
MAOI's include harmine & harmaline, as well as many anti-depressants.
Check with a doctor if you're unsure whether you medication contains MAOI's.
When combined with MAOI's, DXM can cause "serotonin syndrome" with fever, hypertension, and arrhythmias.


Do not take DXM if you are using, or have used an SSRIs within the last 2 weeks.

SSRIs include many anti-depressants, including Fluoxetine (Prozac), Citalopram (Celexa, Lexapro), Paroxetine (Paxil), and others.
Check with a doctor if you're unsure whether you medication is an SSRI.
When combined with SSRIs, DXM may cause "serotonin syndrome" with fever, hypertension, arrhythmias, etc.

Personally, I juse the coughgels. They're easy to take and I don't have to chug a full bottle of cough syrup. But some people like the syrup. It's just personal choice, really.

Most people prefer gelcaps over syrup because the syrup is nasty to gulp down. What really matters is that whatever you take has DXM and ONLY DXM as the active ingredient. It's safe to smoke buds on DXM; other than that, be very careful mixing ANYTHING with it. 150mg is a good starting first plateau dose. 300-500mg is a typical second plateau dose, which is where most casual DXM users end up for their recreational usage habits. 600+mg DXM will probably put you in the upper plateaus, which are very intense and not for everyone. I recommend reading up on DXM before trying it.
