A long time ago when I tried DXM(2nd plateau dose), I didn't like it because of how nauseous it made me. I figured this was due to the nasty syrup, so I didn't try it again for a long time until last night. I figured I should try robogels instead to see if that's any better.

Nope, I STILL got really nauseous. The experience would have been very enjoyable if not for the gut wrenching nausea for the entire fun part of the trip, it only subsided as I was coming down from the high. Is there any way I can avoid this?

And yes, Dextromethorphan HBr was the only ingredient in both the syrup and the gels I tried.
 
dont take it on an empty stomach

consume a little knob of ginger (an anti-nauseant) 10 minutes before dosing dxm

dont drink a whole bottle of syrup, have half at most.

don't smoke weed on dxm, it might make nausea worse (YMMV)

What? Everyone says it doesn't work if you take it on a full stomach.
 
just because your stomach is not empty, does not mean it is full ;)

try having a light healthy meal maybe an hour before you consume dxm

this will help the syrup have less irritation in your stomach.

with most drugs consumed orally, the greatest effect is obtained on an empty stomach. however if the choice is between having stomach pains and nausea, or taking an extra 30mg of dxm in order to have the same intensity of experience. i would go with option B

I suppose I'll try that. I just don't know because I figured the whole reason I got nauseous but didn't vomit is because there was no food in my stomach to vomit up.
 
I'm not a DXM person, but I do like opiates and sometimes they make me sick. I've found that non-drowsy dramamine (four tablets for me) an hour before dosing and a few bites of something (crackers or bread, anything light but carby) at the time of dosing can really help take the edge off nausea!
 
^^Like dez said, promethazine is a great anti-emetic. Make sure you only take moderate doses of it.
