How to counteract sorbitol in DXM syrup?

[phrenethylamine]

In one corner of the globe there's a nice, widely available cough syrup that has DXM as its only active ingredient. However, it also contains loads of sorbitol, which is by no means easy on one's bowels; save for an extraction of the DXM, what can be done to help this unfortunate side effect? Loperamide, and, however silly it might sound, Skittles vodka (apparently due to its high content of glucose/fructose) have shown mixed results, but surely there's some better way than Skittles to make sure one doesn't get diarrhea or the old irritable bowel syndrome, right? Preferably, a way that wouldn't result in the figurative, or literal, shit hitting the fan if one pops some hydroxyzine to potentiate the DXM, if you kind folks get the drift.

If you mean skittles and vodka as a drink, stay away. Had a friend almost die literally last week from a high dose DXM and like one glass of wine.. Sorry I basically avoided everything else you said. I just want to be safe. Respiratory depression is a very real and scary thing.

get something with just dxm or don't take it

yeah, there's no way to counteract the sorbitol.

here in australia we have a dihydrocodeine cough syrup full of sorbitol and while those with low enough tolerances can get high without a worry from lower doses, it leaves problems for others with high dosage. the way it's commonly combated here is by consuming a codeine cwe beforehand to keep your ass plugged up from the codeine, but ir's not always the most successful way and most people find themselves on the toilet at one point or another pissing out their ass from the sorbitol overdose.

find the DXM products with DXM only, no sorbitol.

Here, they sell 115ml bottles of pure DXM for cheap. And there is 15mg of DXM in every 5ml, so that's 345mg of DXM.

^i know you're here so you should know there's a rule against listing prices of drugs so i would edit that out of your post

check out the BDD Forum Guidelines here.

and the BLUA here before continuing to post so you're up to date with everything and know the do's and don'ts

that's a good deal anyway :D one could easily afford to be a robo junkie at those prices!

Thanks, I read all of it before I started posting but didn't see that particular rule. You're very helpful, it's appreciated.
