Thank you both!

Actually, this is a plagerized copy of the DXM FAQ by William White.

See section 13 of the DXM FAQ, on erowid.org

This copy is also highly subjective and many of the interactions which are dangerous are not mentioned.

Heh, I thought it looked familiar.

Magnesium in combination with DXM seems to potentiate and "smooth out" the trip. I won't make any claims as to the safety of this combination though.

This thread was revised. But yes, all accurate information comes from Erowid.

 

[PeoplesMind]

Just so you know, erowid isn't always correct (oh and neither was william white...)

Many of the articles on erowid are submitted by users (such as myself) and ive had several corrections made to the site. I could add tons of information about DXM interactions off the top of my head to that....

peace,

.....by all means, please do! That is the point of this thread!

ol dude who says he knows a lot should add to this thread

The most important (and dangerous) interaction is DXM and serotonin increasing drugs. Do not take DXM with 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, MAOIs, SSRIs, TCAs, St. John's Wort, MDMA, or any other serotonin increasing drug. People have died from this.

awesome FAQ but small typo in the cannabis section it says "Cannibas"

DXM & Celexa

Is there any danger in mixing these two drugs?

I have taken celexa with phenethylamines, tryptamines and ketamine without any problems.

 

[nuke]

Yes, it can cause serotonin syndrome. I had kind of a nasty time with DXM and effexor.

 

[Ghettotastic_bong]

Celexa = SSRI.

You probably shouldn't take dxm while on it, you could suffer from serotonin syndrome, which probably won't kill you but is supposed to be remarkably unpleasant

 

[ingo_2001]

Is this just theoretical or are there actual cases of s.s. when the two have been mixed. I am aware that celexa and DXM are metabolised by the same enzyme but as long as your not deficient in the enzyme your ok and it only lengthens the experience.

Effexor is an SNRI where as celexa is a very selective SSRI.

 

[MASTER SATAN]

Don't some people like to deliberately induce this like mixing MAOI's and extasy?

Strattera is also an SNRI and if so is this true with that? In the recreational drugs and antidepressents it says not to mix them since they get metabolized by the same enzyme but I'm normal when it comes to DXM. I don't trip for 3 days or anything. So is it OK to combine them, I'm talking about 1st - 2nd plateau dose.

 

[thejesuslizard]

I did DXM while on Celexa a few times. I didn't notice any difference.

 

[blase deviant]

Just skip your SSRI the night after dosing.
