I might have long term damges from the use of DXM how do I know?

It doesn't matter what it was cause by, but for the record, it was something you already had, and drug use just sped it up. Why wait to see a doctor again? It won't go away.

I don't think he has depersonalization disorder, that's different to just having an off/altered sense of self. HPPD is also usually hallucinations in your peripheral vision as opposed to spots after staring at the same thing for a certain length of time as described. I'm no psychiatrist, though.

wait I had this before? WTF why did I never notice it. It thought it came from the drugs. If I had this before than the drugs just made it worse (spped it up like you said) Ill complain to my parents that my vision is not normal my heart beat is fast and I want to go to the docter. Will the docter (Imeen their smart here so it might be a problem) thing that is came BY ITS OWN?

ANd why would it get worse over time? And what could happen if I wait to long?
 
I'm going to go ahead and tell you that one of my most profound drug uses over time has been DXM.

i've done tons of it, tons and tons. what you're experiencing is most certainly HPPD perception, but cease use of dxm immediately. over time, it does get better. however it's much more safe than others want to make it out to be, however using dxm in doses past 700+mg is definately not something you want to do constantly, it can easily cause depersonalization disorder like deathdomokun said. It will go away over time.

any questions you may have about dxm feel free to pm me.
 
I took DXM fucking 6 times never over 300mg and usally hust 180mg how the fuck do I get the same side effkets that people get taking DXM up to 3 years and everyday 700mg?


Holly fuck half of you say dont tell the docter half say tell the docter. I meen I just dont know what I hsould do its like 50 50 I cant dicide what it will be. I meen dexter Í think your forgetting that I took very low doses any almost none and to everyone else who says I shouldnt go to the docter I feel fucked up my only question is When will this fucking feeling fade?

I dont want to go to the docter but I dont wanna live with this feeling I beliove I can self medicate I i really had to. Piracetam I pnly can get with a perscription though. ANyone got an Idea what medicin I can take which comes from nature or food ? Or something thats I dont need a perscription for?
 
dude, you don't need to take anything. or at least not because of the DXM. you need to quit freaking out. yes, there are lots of people in this thread telling you interesting things. but you're fine. you're 14; you're fine. on the off chance that something semi-significant really did happen to your CNS (nothing did), then you will still be fine. you are a neuroplastic being, and you'll bounce back. whatever you are feeling will fade, and the quicker you forget about it the quicker that will happen. all you can do is concentrate on living healthy from this point on. a doctor is not going to "fix" your brain. a psych will prescribe you more drugs because you sound paranoid and a little crazy about this "damage" thing, but more drugs is not what you want, right?. anyway, you just scared yourself and are having trouble letting it go.

Thanks for that really aprishate it. I hope it fades fast. But the thing Im scared about is that like Dextermeth said that these are not the side effeks anymore but anxity? And someone told me that anxity goes only withtthe help of docters and betablcokers away?
THis is just to sick for me. How long until it fades and how long untilI have to start worring if it doent fade?
 
if you think you might have issues unrelated to DXM damage, say general anxiety disorder, then consider speaking with your parents about a psychologist appointment. if the psychologist thinks you need to see a psychiatrist, then that's what's next. but the psychiatrist will put you on something even though you are still a developing child, and you should consider if that's what you really want. i'm also assuming you have the insurance, money, and/or healthcare system that will allow this.

but do not think just because that is mentioned as a possible route that it is what you should do. anxiety does not only go away with doctors and beta blockers. sometimes it doesn't go away even with doctors and beta blockers. it's a complicated issue that they are struggling to treat. like most mental disorders. at 14, i wouldn't wanna be their guinea pig. sometimes psychiatric medication is necessary, even in young teenagers. but it would be sad if you ended up on something you don't really need. most psychiatrists will admit that once you start taking psychiatric medication, you need to be on something or other for the rest of your life. personally i do not think that is completely true, but it is reflective of a strong trend. at 14, consider if that is something you really want to commit to. of course, you can see a psychologist and not a psychiatrist and not be prescribed anything. it might help to talk to someone like that.

I'm not forgetting you took low doses. This is my point dude. Your reaction to those doses is not normal. Go see a doctor.
 
You see man he says no and you say yes ? I know they were low but I have read aso amny reports that this has happend to others already :(
 
I'll break it down for you. Hydro may be right about you not having long term damage from taking DXM (and I'm prone to agree, as you barely took any and for a short time), but this doesn't change my opinion that you really need to see a psychiatrist. Does that make more sense?

Don't be afraid to ask any questions.
 
Oh gosh I think I just had a panic attack... I was sick I have a stffed nose and sinus so I went to the docter he perscribed me yeah guess what right coughf medicine. Luckely it doent have any DXM in its more natural but I still woudnt take it. My mom wanted to give me a pill against ist yesturday and I jsut pretended to take it. My heart is killing me so is my vision. I can think normal agin no more huge thoughs just my heart its terribl. While at the docter today I told him that I was having a high blood presure for a while now I dint tell him why and their gonna dio a check up in to weeks and I dont know I might jsut break it to him if it doent get better fast. I still have this derpersonalysation I think I found out whatsso unnormal now its like the human eye takes 20 pictures a second and mine only takes 15 to 19. I noticed because something was wrong while riding my bike. THen I have this wiered feeling in my head sometimes. Oh my gosh what if I have a heart attack what if i overtacked my self what is the worst that could happen. I am so freked out and scared at the moment.
