Is DXM basically an excitotoxin when used at recreational doses and does NMDA receptor stimulation cause neuron or cell death?
For example, this is from an article about Glutamate:
If the concentration level rises, then neurons become too excited and don’t fire in a normal manner. Glutamate becomes an excitotoxin when it is in excess; meaning it overstimulates brain cells and nerves and results in neurological inflammation and cell death.
