Hey guys I am planning on trying dxm for the first time. I have a bottle of dayquil cough and the only active ingredient is dxm hbr 15 mg. I was wondering how much I should drink, I'm really only looking for a first plateau. I ve read how much dxm I should consume but how much of the cough syrup itself should I take. What should I expect? Also would it be problematic to mix it with sprite? Thanks

Look it up on Erowid and do some math. It will be something like xmg/xkg = 1st plateau.
Only mix with Sprite if you are a true baller.

Eh generally if you have something that tastes bad increasing the volume won't do you much good. DXM tastes too fucked up to be suitable for proper dilution I think.
How much should you take? We do not discuss here what you should and should not do but you can definitely figure it out for yourself easily. In this DXM FAQ here on Erowid there is a special section for it, click here to see your question answered.
You will have to read on a little, it is around the 8th or 9th paragraph when talk about dosage starts.
- first figure out how high you want to start, appropriate plateaus are the first and second. Check the table in the FAQ. For instance you may find that around 5 mg DXM / kg body weight suits you. Calculate the dose using your body weight, for instance 130 pounds or 65 kg means 5 x 65 = 325 mg DXM.
Then check the label of your bottle. If I am reading this correctly DayQuil Cough contains both DXM and phenylephrine: it says so here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DayQuil
So really this is not suited to use recreationally. 10 mg /15 ml is about 0.66 mg / ml.
The bottle probably contains 295 ml meaning you got about 200 mg of DXM in a bottle. So In this case getting 325 mg means drinking a little over one and a half bottle. Only one bottle should give you an idea of the effects though.
If I am correct and DayQuil contains phenylephrine, that will give you adrenergic effects such as increased blood pressure and vasoconstriction. Really nasty to have especially together with DXM. Make sure you have a DXM only product!!

hey ,i am pretty experienced with dxm and you wont even notice the first plateau trip try second plateau and is it a 100ml bolltle or 60?if its 100 drink half of it.
dxm trip usually starts late and dont worry even if u empty the entire bottle you wont die or anything but ull be hell lazy to do nething and ull have the most amazing dreams.
though the hangover isnt tht good.

No apparently the site I checked has made a mistake, or there are multiple kinds of DayQuil - though I thought there is only one type of Dayquil Cough.
I think you can trust the label... sorry my bad
To add to the confusion these guys recommends against it:

but again: I think another type is meant here, I think Dayquil Cold&Flu.
The main point here is that on the label it lists active ingredients and inactive ingredients and the active ones are the ones to get concern about. That should be DXM only.
From the sounds of it you are good to go.
