Dextromethorphan Polistirex.

[WorldWarMe]

Hey guys, me and my friend plan on taking some DXM tonight. I'm fairly experienced with it yet it's his first time taking it.

Me and him both plan on hitting Mid Second Plateaus, but there's a slight problem.
The syrup he bought contains Dextromethorphan Polistirex, not HBr.
I've read that it can be less intense, take more to acheive said high and last longer. Now, he's 170 pounds and we think that 300mg should set him in a good second plateau. Oh yeah, he also has a bottle of regular DXM HBr, but he wants to get rid of the Polistirex too.

So, I was thinking since it takes longer to kick in that he gulps down 300mg Polisterix and waits for the high to kick in, then drinks maybe another 150-200mg after that to boost the effects.


How much longer will the Polistirex take to kick in, and are there any noticeable changes in effects / duration?

Any advice on dosing would be appreciated. He wants to get FUCKED UP but doesn't want to pass the second plateau as neither of us like hallucinating.

Thanks in advanced.

Personally I've never used anything other than DXM HBr, but you'll need to take more polistirex than you normally would the HBr. The trip WILL be less intense and can take a long time to kick in. DXM is tricky because it's so different for everyone, depending on the enzymes in your body.

If it's his first time I'd suggest just taking the HBr for starters. I can't really help with dosage for polistirex but perhaps 300-350ml HBr should set him up for a mid-high 2nd plateau experience. (I'm assuming he's tripped on other substances before)

As you'll know, DXM takes a while to be fun recreationally. Start small and graduate!

I think the OP is talking about Delsym. It's an extended-release form of DXM (same extended-release mechanism as Tussionex, I donno if you all have that in Oz either).

So, to the OP, you will need a little more since the dosage is going to be spaced out over a 10-14 hour period instead of the usual 3-6 hours. Titrate up the dose slowly, or have your friend do so, to reach the effects level you'd like. I have little experience with DXM, but I've heard good reports about using the DXM polistirex formulation, if you want a really long DXM trip. Otherwise stick with the regular HBr stuff.

The DXM Polistirex was always my choice. It seemed to produce a much more mellow and smoother trip.
