Hi, i have been on 20mg celexa for almost 2 years and i was thinking to try DXM, ive heard that serotonin syndrom could be possible somehow so i was wondering if my dose of celexa will likely be dangerous? If its ok, what dose to begin with?

Thanks

Nobody know?

A very (very) quick Google search came up with results saying that even on 40 mg of Celexa high doses of DXM will be safe (or safe enough, anyway, not that I would recommend it) but also significantly less enjoyable. While the excess serotonin is a problem, the actual risk with DXM + SSRIs comes more from the synergistic effects of serotonin reuptake inhibition and CYP2D6 inhibition which significantly potentiates DXM. From what I've read, Celexa inhibits CYP2D6 much less than most SSRIs, but I would still be careful.
 
Personally I reccomend a washout period of 2-3 weeks before taking DXM or e.g. MDMA... but if you're on SSRIs you probably shouldn't come off them to do drugs.

The above advice is kind of reckless. I wouldn't call it "safe" to mix a SSRI and DXM under any circumstances. Different people react... differently. Just because one perosn can take it doesn't mean another won't die or feel like shit.
 
Alright thanks, i should avoid it for now, but i got a friend that wanna try it, ive heard that pure dxm is best, but where can i get them? Also, what is worst for health, DXM or Speed pill? And what got the worst comedown side effect?
 
for me, i had a weird interaction DXM.
Possibly just my strange chemicals in my brain.

But maybe i was that i rolled hard like 9 days before on MDMA.

I had the worst comedown ever on DXM, but it lasted like an hour, I felt so alone i was so sad,,, the world looked the darkest and the gloomiest it has ever been ever! which was followed by a manic episode where i was amazingly happy.
Sounds like Manic depression dont it?
 
Just look for Robitussin or any store-brand version (Wal-tussin, CVS-tussin, whatever) and look at the ingredients before you buy it and MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE there is nothing except Dextromethorphan HBr in it. If there is anything else at all, keep looking. I'd say speed is probably worse for you than a regular dose of DXM, but regular doses of either don't really get that bad until they're abused. I'd have to say most people will think speed has a worse comedown than DXM, although while pretty much everyone likes speed (unless they're naturally antsy/anxious), not everyone likes DXM, but if you do like it, it really has more of an afterglow than a crash. I have however heard of allergic reactions to DXM, and not speed, so have your friend start low. Of course, you could just be a freak like me, and get an afterglow even from speed. I enjoy deliriants so a speed comedown feels more like a pleasently weird state of mind to me.
 
Alright, so i got to find pills with only Dextromethorphan on it, ive heard of Dexalone at walmart, but there is no walmart on my city, but 20 km from here, also, how much pills I should take? He is 6'6 and 160 lbs if it matter.

That's exactly it. Wait a few weeks to do DXM after a roll. It should really be common sense, but many many people seem to fall into that trap.
