If i bought Robotussin which only contained DXM, am i going to still puke?

You should wait at least four hours after eating before taking DXM, on an empty stomache.

Take 150-300 mgs.

Smoke some weed

If you still don't feel it, perhaps you shouldn't waste any more time with Dextromethorphin.
 
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. :)
how much did you take?
I drank half of the bottle but had to stop because i felt nausea. All that trouble for nothing.
 
If you can't handle the nausea I suggest you just stay away from Dextromethorphin (along with many other recreational drugs).

The high really isn't worth it, stick to weed and booze.
 
While the weed & booze combo can be trippy, it doesn't compare to dextromethorphan. DXM's headspace is quite a bit different (and easier to handle, imo).

I find acting sober on DXM to be nearly impossible, even at VERY low doses (took about 60 mg to keep me awake, ended up just laying in bed without falling asleep for hours entrapped in my fantasy world). It's just a very powerful drug.

Interesting you feel a different way, the slurred speach is a dead give-a-way xD

I can agree that it's easier to handle than alcohol, since I'm such a damn lightweight. I've had more bad trps on alcohol than DXM... and I abused DXM more. Crazy huh?

Crazy? Not in my experience. I don't think there's any other drug that's made me more psychotic than alcohol has. For example, just this Thanksgiving, I had quite a few drinks and everything went fairly well while I was with family. But when I came home, I realized my ears were ringing very loudly and I could hear my family speaking to me in my mind. It's not the first time I have heard voices on alcohol, either. I almost decided to smoke some cannabis when I got home, but I'm really glad I didn't. That combo is way too intense... like drug-induced telepathy, but not in a good way :S

Anti-cannabis people always talk about weed's propensity for bringing about mental illnesses, but really, I don't think it holds a candle to alcohol as far as negative consequences go. On alcohol, it's easy to get angry for no real reason. That's never happened to me on DXM, and the very few times I was angry on cannabis, it turns out I was already angry beforehand.
 
I didn't know how many mg's i drank, i just drank the bottle without thinking how much i swallowed. It was 25mg of dxm so it was exactly in the middle of the bottle i don't know how much milligrams i drank.

Uh, doesn't it have 15mg DXM per 5mL syrup? So half a bottle, if we're talking about the regular 4oz size, is gonna be ~175mg. I'd consider that a good test, we know you metabolize it fine now. Recreationally speaking, you're gonna want to start at 300-350mg.

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?

Nausea and vomiting are quite common even with DXM, especially given all the inactive ingredients in syrup, personally I only vomit when taking ~8oz worth without any herb, but ymmv. Cannabis is very effective at mitigating the nausea IME, and it synergizes wonderfully with the DXM, making the experience more intense/interesting.
