So I have 300mg of dxm in the form of syrup. Its the robitussin dry cough medicine with dxm hbr as the only active ingredient. I wanted to know if I were to have 300mg of the dxm and then have maybe two beers would that be bad for me Or make me more sick? And should I do the dxm before drinking or after? I also wanted to know if 300mg so a whole bottle of the syrup would make me nauseous and throw up? If so, what could I do to get rid of this side effect? Thanks.

DXM. just a few simple questions. Advice needed!

I've pnly had dxm once and it was a bottle of robitussin dry cough half the size of yours, I got fairly mild effects and no nausia at all. While I can't offer any specific advice about mixng with alcohol (but have heard bad things) i think a general good rule for mixing is always take your drugs first then consume the alcohol slowly. Reminds me of the rhyme "beer before grass, on your arse. Grass before beer, in the clear"

But I've read else where alcohol before taking dxm can actually reduce the nausea. And yes I've heard that rhyme too but its normally bull. I get less sick when I drink first and then smoke.
kl, very intrigued to hear more information about that now. Personally I've never puked off anything without having alcohol first so the rhyme does work very well for me, although drinking first does help reduce the chance of getting anxious. Just shows how much drug experiences can vary.
Cannabis goes great with DXM, helps with nausea and does not really cause nasty complications or interactions though it can potentiate the effects resulting in effects that are too strong. A warning though: this is mostly true if you take cannabis somewhat frequently because if not, it can be much easier to overdose on cannabis resulting in possible nausea paradoxically (but more importantly feelings of panic, etc).
Don't drink alcohol with it, it makes you dizzy with most dissociatives and maybe DXM in particular, and there would be a significant chance of subsequent nausea and vomiting. So I'd say skip the alcohol and if you do want to combine, choose cannabis.

Spreading the dose could result in weaker effects, and 300 mg is not so much that IMO it is worth avoiding side-effects. If you take 900 mg then I can understand staggering.
Then again I have little experience with staggering DXM or high dose experiences because I don't tolerate the drug well.
But be careful forcing down the syrup, it would be a waste to throw it back up - because of the syrup itself and not the actual DXM.
In other words: with 300 mg pure DXM, I don't see why you couldn't take it all at once but with the syrup take it easy.

Are you saying I'm more likely to throw up on syrup? Okay I'll take it fairly quickly but won't chug it. I just don't want to build up an expectation and then realize I've taken too low of a dose that will spoil my night. That's why I wanted to drink as well but after I'm feeling the full effects.

^definitely chug the syrup, 300mg at once for best effects IMO. That stuff is so gross that once you get a taste for it, it'll be harder to put down, so down at once, open throat wide like shotgunning beer lol. You shouldn't be disappointed with 300mg at once, it's not intense but you'll be fucked up for sure.
There's probably an equal chance of throwing up the capsules or the syrup, the capsules are big and get stuck in your throat. I've done 600-900mg with those and it sucks.
if you stagger you're going to get different effects. Do you want more DXM (serotonin type effects, psychedelic) or DXO (dissociative)?
What you need to avoid nausea:
1) Ginger extract in capsule or chewable form
2) diphenhydramine 50mg (makes the trip better as well, just don't take more than that), also helps to avoid histamine reactions
3) cannabis, 300mg is boring on its own, first trip or not, this will also help with the nausea
even after all that you still may puke but i doubt it, dxm is pretty nauseating, even as a pure powder. Definitely double check the syrup to make sure DXM is the only active ingredient. Even so all that syrup is probably going to give you the shits, consider immodium as another precaution to avoid the side effects.
Then after 2-3 hours, you've probably come up fully and aren't sick; feel free to drink a couple beers, there's really no harm and many people prefer it. If you drink before, you'll probably throw it up unless you have a strong stomach.
Lastly, enjoy, DXM is one of my favourite experiences, though i grew out of it, i'll never forget it. 300mg is definitely enough to get you high out of your mind, add cannabis and you'll be shocked that you can actually get that high. Then imagine a dose at third/fourth plateau
also make sure you aren't one of those people who lacks the enzyme cyp2d6, i'm sure you'd know by now but something like 5-10% of people lack this enzyme and DXM isn't broken down and you'll get extremely high from 300mg, like way too high. If you've ever had a cough and used dxm at 30-60mg, and didn't have any adverse effects then you're almost certainly in the clear for that issue.
