Chlorpheniramine as a deliriant

[fostersmith12]

I know, I know; "Deliriants are no fun." But this is a completely subjective matter, and I'm interested in them to an extent.

Anyway, I wondered if chlorpheniramine is a deliriant (I am assuming it is, as I have heard that it is an anticholinergic). If so, what would be a good dose for some hallucinations? And assuming that I can control myself when under the influence, is this safe?

Thanks.

i here it's not safe. i hear it's no good for the brain. but i do not know this for sure.

Either way, you're safer eating some nutmeg.

Death can result from deliriant overdose.

Just out of curiousity - what kind of dose would produce delirium? I am just curious as I could not seem to find any information about it anywhere.

I don't know. The reason you can't find it anywhere is because it probably hasn't been done with any success. The more reading I do about CPM overdosing (and you're going to have to overdose to get any sort of deliriant-like effects from it, for sure) involve people have serotonin syndrome and all the lovely complications that arise from that.

I would seriously reconsider taking a lot of antihistamines for a recreational effect. The dangers are not completely known, but what is known is bad.

CPM is the active "toxic" ingredient in triple-C's (Coricidin), avoid if at all possible.

It is possible to overdose in chlorpheniramine (here's some info) and there is anecdotal evidence in the medical literature; can't find what sort of dose range is dangerous but I certainly wouldn't like to risk it. It can cause seizures and coma as well as anticholinergic side effects - dry mouth, urinary retention, high body temp, tachycardia (fast heart rate) and obv delirium.

It seems possibly less dangerous than some of the other classes of antihistamines, but personally I wouldn't risk it!

I got mild delirium after taking a few too many nytol (diphenhydramine) - I suspect the dose needed varies quite a bit from person to person. It was not fun
