nick, baby, make sure you read up on DXM before you chug-a-lug that cough syrup.
different strokes for different folks. DXM is not my idea of a good time, but I'm not going to tell you not to do it or question why in the hell you'd want to try it. I will, however, implore you to read as much as you can about it and THEN decide if it's worth it and sounds like something you would like.
we've had a number of people here getting sick (to the point of having to go to the ER) from DXM, so do be careful, please.
the following FAQ is a great place to start. it gives you a lot of info on what DXM does to you, how to take it, and what not to combine it w/.

there are also great sources of information on DXM on the usual spots (erowid, lycaeum, etc.), so read, read, read.

---begin quoted material from DXM FAQ---
3.3 What Kinds of Cough Medicine are Safe?
Basically, anything containing ONLY dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXM HBr). Popular US brands include Robitussin
Maximum Strength Cough (and generic equivalents), Drixoral Cough Liquid Caps (the red kind), and generic equivalents.
3.4 What Happens if I Drink the Wrong Cough Syrup?
If it has gauifenesin (Robitussin DM and generic "DM" syrups have this drug), you'll probably puke your guts up. If it has
acetaminophen (paracetamol), you stand a good chance of a painful, prolonged death. Anything else, you're likely to ruin the trip
and may end up in the hospital.
