robatussin said:wow, those ingredients would make for one hell of an uncomfortable trip. Antihistamines make you very delerious. stay away! take it from someone of a screen name of this nature, you want a cough medicine with only dxm as an active ingredient
mulberryman said:You really don't want to take too much doxylamine, its basically the same as diphenhydramine, except a good deal more sedating. Best bet is to get the kind with only DXM in it, and if absolutely can't find that, you can use the kind with guaifenesin and DXM, as long as you don't use alot of it daily for a long time, its usually ok. Vicks's Nyquil will most likely knock you out, and if you take too much it can be dangeous, cause brain damage and extreme delerium, which sometimes sounds fun, but ususally is not very pleasant. A true DXM trip is a way better experience, IMO.

) in an endless sea (not a sea) of nothing, with no self, no world/universe, no thoughts/emotions/etc, just endless nothing with no meaning, but still basically conscious. The first thoughts that return, for me at least, always: fear.That depends on the person really. I have no problem taking pills and have a bitch of a time downing 4+oz of cherry-menthol tussin, but I've never felt worse in my life than the time I took 24 robo cough gels. That many pills in my stomach made me feel like I was legitimately dying. I rarely use dxm these days, but when I do I take a few (6 or less) robo pills and top it off with a few oz of "safe tussin" (orange flavored diabetic tussin--much better than tussin DM) via a shot glass and chaser.robatussin cough gels are pure dxm.. easy to swallow compared to cough syrup imo.

Most of what I've read suggests that the dose is dependent on body mass. The DXM FAQ linked to on Erowid gives a dosage chart (although I wouldn't trust everything in that FAQ; it isn't necessarily up to date).Dynamic said:How much would be the suggested dose for a first timer?
