Hi guys. Let's say you take 300 mg of DXM one night and not the next day but the morning after that 600 mg is taken. Not too worried about it and it will probably be fine. But my question is: is this amount so close together enough to cause long-lasting or permanent damage to the mind or brain and serotonin? Doubt it but would still like feedback. I have been taking DXM once a month and sometimes spaced out between two weeks at doses from 300 mg to 600 mg with 300 being the preferred. I will probably stop using this substance soon as I feel it is getting old. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i remember using DXM, when my tolerance was low years ago and i first used it, i was completely hammered from 330mg of it.
I thought i was going to develop brain damage in the middle of the trip and just passed out in the middle of a game I was playing. after a few trips over the course of a few months, I developed a tolerance and experience. I abused it while on SSRIs, I don't THINK I developed any long term damage. i had some mild side effects but it wasn't bad. Space dxm usage between months. Tolerance builds quickly, once a month if you're new to it.

anyway in my opinion, DXM isn't some super dangerous drug, relatively safe albeit boring after a while. There isn't too much evidence to say it is dangerous, I feel it's relatively safe due to the DXM being converted to 3-methoxymorphinan and 3-hydroxymorphinan, one of which has anti-Parkinson disease effects.
 
That spacing between trips is short and 600mg is a little high... I believe there are mainly reports of learning/cognitive difficulties with longterm abuse but that's likely every weekend for a year kind of stuff. I would maybe drop the dosage a tad or give your brain one more nights rest before that but no you probably wouldn't fry your brain permanently just from this, I think the problems are more with longterm use so watch out for those down the road, peace
 
If you were taking that much every day for a long period of time, then there might be lasting effects, but getting high twice in a week will not damage your brain.
 
DXM is getting old though. I feel taking DXM for your health would be equivalent to eating a bowl of plastic and ink. Just something to add.
 
Just took the 600 mg. My brain feels healthy and I feel good now that it's two hours later.
 
My brain always feels healthier after 600mg of DXM too! =D

Also in regards to DXM feeling like eating ink and plastic; I have been abusing DXM for about 8 years now. Since I was 14. The frequency definitely died down after I turned 20. I used to binge for days and days. At one point I had 25g of USP grade DXM powder and dosed for 6 days straight, it had built to such high levels that i remained fried for the next day until I mistakenly puffed on some dank bud and it sent me into a full blown sigma psychosis. I had one other incident where i accidentally dosed too many days in a row and ended up in plateau sigma. Not fun at all and Sigma will leave your brain filling like it has just been slow-cooked.

I always wonder what is happening to my body when I dump 12oz of tussin into it. UGh... I used to be able to handle syrup. FOr years i could chug it down with no problem. no GI problems whatsoever. When i turned 18 my stomach started rejected the stuff, EVEN THE PURE POWDER! it was DXM not just the syrup. But after a while i started to be able to handle it. Like now i can chug the shit again and stomach it but when my body starts to break it down my GI has a terrible time with it. I get bloated and gassy and have nasty tussin runs that just ruins the whole experience. You can hear my stomach making loud weird gurgling noises and shit.

Hope my liver and kidneys and pancreas are ok. Diabetes runs in the family. All that corn syrup and menthol and gunk just does not sound good. I've drank maybe 15 gallons of cough syrup in my lifetime. thats just syrup.

Sorry for getting off topic. You will be fine. I fried my brain twice on DXM and had complete psychotic breaks that ended in hospitalization. SO long as you are not dosing 1-2x a day for at least 3 days then you should be good. IME DXM will accumulate if taken consecutively like i did. If i remember correctly DXM interferes with its own metabolism. I think DXO inhibits CYP2D6 somewhat. Its been a while since i've read White's faq.

Also I want to add that I am fine cognitively and emotionally. I have had pre-exsting conditions that the DXM made worse. I had minor cognitive issues for about 3 months after my psychotic breaks but that is because i was stupid and dosing like a fucking madman. and even then it was only affecting my speech as in trying to form sentences and get my thoughts out verbally. I am in college and am a great father and boyfriend.
 
Most psychoatives provide the best results when the experiences are separated several days. Why did you choose going back and consuming DXM the next day rather than wait?

Because it is awesome tha's why. I feel Wesome right now and am doing another 300 mg tonight
 
Okay, at least get some exercise during the come down. Get your muscles moving. In my town they have river walks. On come downs I used to walk near the water and watch the night fall.

Could you watch the night fall?

Yea. I would love to watch the night fall.
 
DXM is a neurotoxic and shitty drug. It is VERY unique in its own regard, but abuse should be avoided at all costs.

Shitty drug, maybe. It's really boring after a few uses. but it's interesting the first few times imo and i noticed it is a decent pain killer. I think it's best used in combination with other drugs.

I took 600 mg today at around 12:00. If I take another 300 mg tonight at 8:00 (this would be a total of 900 mgs today) would that cause plateau sigma? I don't want that. Will I get any effects at all? Thanks If anyone knows.

Ive read it may actually be nueroprotective. What is your source for DXM directly causing neurotoxicity other than in extremely high doses/combinations? I'm not saying it isn't nuerotoxic, just that I don't think anyone knows for sure from what I understand. Correct me if wrong.

Yeah, that's why I dont drink syrup, Ive done a shitload of DXM in the last 11 years. If all of it had been in syrup form....I shudder to think of the results on my guts. Id rather use generic mucinex because I can handle the guaf...but not that damn syrup....I mean I probably could but fuck that. Robo cough gels are the best and the generic equivalent. But dxm itself does fuck with people's stomachs, some more than other. I do find it easier to eat on DXM than on stims like amphetamine,etc.
