Like everyone else says, vomiting is a common effect when taking this shit. I was planning to buy the Dry Cough Forte which contained only dxm and no guaifenesin shit. If there is no guaifenesin contained in the ingredients does that mean my chance of vomiting is low and getting the dxm effects is higher? Dumb question but i'm just curious. I was planning to drink the whole bottle, i accidentally bought the wrong kind of dxm before which contained other ingredients mixed with the dxm so that was a bad idea and i puked all over the place. Is this bound to happen again even if it's ONLY dxm?

Thx
 
Yes. Dextromethorphan itself can make you nauseous as can the syrup. It really depends on your individual chemistry.

It said the dxm contains about 30mg, is there a higher dosage for this one? Or no? Either way can i control the nausea or does it come with the effects and something i can't control?
 
Take 50mg of diphenhydramine with it. A lot of people find that helps reduce the nausea without coloring the trip.

As for DXM, 30mg per dose is the highest you're going to find.

Benadryl is a prescription drug right? Can i just tell the doc i have motion sickness to get this medicine? Cause i really do have it.
 
Yeah, even if you buy DXM-only syrups, your chances of puking are pretty high. I suspect it's mainly due to the polyethyline glycol they put in there. You can always get some Delsym and do a simple cold water extraction... if you don't mind the added duration of the trip. But you'd have to wash it more than once, since there's still a chance of having... other types of gastrointestinal distress :\

Personally, I've experienced absolutely no nausea when using pure DXM powder, not even a hint. Syrups OTOH... they put emetics in there on purpose. And they taste much worse than homemade DXM preparations.

Also, diphenhydramine /should/ be available without a prescription in most places. 50 mg, in my experience, is enough to change the trip, but it's usually for the better :)

Yeah i just checked CVS, i was planning on buying it maybe this weekend. As for dxm powder? What is that? I mean i heard of it but isn't that a street drug? I hear there is a way to make it yourself or is it complicated? Other than that i'll just stick with the dry cough forte i was planning on buying.

DXM = dextromethorphan, the active ingredient in Robitussin. It can be found online, if you look carefully.

Never extracted DXM from cough syrups myself, except from Delsym, which is easy and requires only 1 gallon of water and a milk jug.
 
Everytime I dosed DXM above 600mg, I wait 45 minutes after ingestion, then get all bulimic, two-fingers, then I go enjoy my trip. It has become part of my tripping ritual. I don't feel right unless I purge. Of course, I tend to do this on most substances, but with DXM, especially syrup, it's gonna come out one way or another...I find puking the most desirable of options, and I like to get it outta the way ASAP, on my terms.
 
I find its the amount of syrup itself that makes most people nauseous... The horrible taste, then all the sloshing around in your stomach. For this reason im not so sure any medication would help that much. I usually just try to think about it as little as possible and chug the bitch.
 
if it's dextromethorphan hydrobromide or any kind of bromide, yes.

bromine screws the entire trip up with the nausea, pure dex shouldn't cause nausea i believe.

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is the biologically active form of DXM. Even the powder out there is DXM HBr.
 
I tend to puke on a heavy dose of anything, but I do remember eating 1.2g of pure DXM and puking.
 
no one can really tell you that. for example, I've never got nausea from DXM, but a friend of mine almost always puke even taking way way less than what I take (and I never take huge doses mainly because of $$$)
if you want to counteract nausea maybe try smoking some weed. it goes well with the DXM and is a very effective anti-emetic IME
 
Dextromethorphan is a cough suppresent found in most over the counter cough medications. As its intended purposes are a bit questionable, it sure does produce a great high (one of my favorites actually.)

DO NOT take DXM with serotonin antogonists such as MDMA, Cocaine and Benzos. Doing so will MOST LIKEY cause Serotonin Syndrome. Which is a very annoying and fatal disease.

If you're going to overdose on this stuff make sure it's the only main ingredient in the product (flipping the package over and reading the Drug Information takes mere seconds) because the others are more hazordous than rewarding.

Stick to low doses if you're inexperienced, I started with 300 mg and that dose still has me amazed years after.

Take them on an empty stomache, 4 hours of fasting should do it.

Taking some anti-histamines about an hour prior has been reported to combat the nausea but I find smoking just a small amount of cannabis 1 hour after dosing deminishes (decreases) the negative effects completely. Not to mention the perfect synergy they share.

Recreationally dosing on DXM too often isn't the greatest idea, as a rule of thumb you should wait 2 weeks before every trip (even longer would be better).

I wouldn't take DXM without access to cannabis, ths nausea just ruins the experience.

Please, do some research before diving head first into any new substance. Better safe than sorry.

If you have any more questions don't be afraid to ask, I will gladly share my knowledge. :)

So if i bought a bottle that only contained dxm will i get a high? Because last time i tried the dxm wasnt the only ingredient. I didnt even get a high.
 
Nausea is sooooooooooooo common with DXM alone. Many report feeling euphoric seconds after throwing up (as if it jump starts the pleasure). I've done it over 20 times and puked every single time unless I took a low dose (no more than 150 mgs)

I spent days researching this drug before even considering taking it recreationally, I recommend you do the same.
