DXM dosage?

[silentangst]

Yeah, I'll agree with the dirty feel of it. I doubt it's something I'll ever do again, especially since even thinking of cough syrup makes me dry-retch now

L3inad if you had your time over how would've you safely tested how you reacted to DXM, coz that shit sounds fucking terrible.

Well strangely enough after my experience from hell I'll actually feel very not right when taking DXM within the reccomended dosage.

I can definately notice some sort of weird kind of feeling there but thats not really a good way to test, just something i've noticed personally.

I'd say to test yourself for any enzyme problems, the most pain free way would be to try dosing some codeine.

The same enzyme resposible for metabolising DXM also metabolises codeine into mophine (making it active) which is responsible for the effects.

So if you were to take a decent recreational dose of codiene, and you are able to feel it quite well. Then its safe to assume that you have all the required enzymes and can proceed to safely dose the disgusting DXM.

However, if your like me and cant feel codeine in ANY DOSAGE (ie. 600mg+) then you can pretty safely say that you dont have enough of the enzyme and dosing DXM is going to end VERY BADLY, much like my experience.

Although if you try and use this method keep in mind that were talking about normal codeine, not DHC which is active without being metabolised.

Yeah best to employ caution when dosing this stuff for the first time if your caucasian.

7% of caucasians are severly depleted or entirely missing the enzyme that metabolises DXM. Meaning, if your part of this minority you WILL TRIP FOR DAYS. And let me tell you now, thats something you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy lol.

I found out the hard way after a 300mg dose I was still off the planet 24 hours later. In my delerious state I managed to convince myself that I was suffering from diabetes and went to the emergency room lol.

After a couple hours waiting around there and getting looked at I was starting to come back to earth but still didnt realise it was the DXM causing my current state. Didnt click until I saw my pupils in the mirror.... Dinner plates.

Shit aint good. Be carefull dosing for the first time as you dont want to endure the crap I went though

I feel your pain mate. I'm also CYP2D6 deficient. My experience from about 3/4 of a bottle was hell. The trip itself was so strong that I can only remember very brief passages and I think I was only semi-conscious for most of it. Completely unable to move. Two days afterwards I was bedbound and felt like a combination of the most drunk I've ever been and the most hungover I've ever been both at once... the day before that was even worse.

Undoubtedly the worst experience of my life

Good advice, you really know your shit I know this all now but hell I wish I'd known back then..

Thank god this enzyme doesn't (seem to) affect psychedelics, mdma or weed
