"Long acting" cough syrup?

The only clean cough syrup i could find is "long acting" cough syrup. It still contains DXM, but what makes it "long acting"? The only difference I noticed was that it contains 15mg of DXM per dose instead of 10. Can I still use it to robo-trip?
 
DXM polisterex is a different trip... Delsym in my experience feels a lot weaker even with higher doses and I've never hit a 4th plateau with it. Also, it is EXTREMELY taxing on the body to have DXM plateauing that long. I don't recommend it - and I've got a LOT of DXM experience under my belt.
 
If it's Delsym I personally wouldn't recommend it, but you're probably just talking about the long acting Robitussin I'm assuming? I have little experience with dxm and don't actually know what it means tbh.
 
I would have to see the product. If it is DXM HBr, its the same drug - just a higher dose... its not going to last any longer when you're tripping on it than the same dose of "regular acting"...

The best form of Robitussin btw is Robitussin maximum strength COUGH (*NOT COUGH AND COLD, make sure it doesn't have anything but DXM in it*). It has alcohol in it and I find that it carries the DXM into your system much faster and its a smoother come up and much less GI upset.
 
pretty much every OTC cough medicine says "long acting" on its packaging. its probably a relic from when DXM syrups weren't the only cough product on the market.
 
if you have a dxm polisterex preperation like delsym. theres an easy way to extract the powder from the syrup. long story short pour your bootle of syrup in a empty 2 litre bottle fill it 3 quarters full of water shake the fuck out of it let it sit for a few hours syphon off the water and collect the powder at the bottom and dose it oraly (dont snort it dxm has very very weak water solubility if any at all). i wont promise you the nausea is gone but it definatley reduces it greatly. the poli shit extracted is a minor upset stomach compared to the utterly dreadful effects syrup or gels have on my tummy.

any how read the bottle it should be either dxm hydrobromide, or dxm polisterex the dxm hbr is regular stuff the dxm poli is the long lasting time release stuff that i believe you might have. (READ THE LABLE THOUGH). if there is any ingredient in the syrup besides dxm in either of its forms toss it in the garbage (ie guaieffenisine, pseudo ephedrine, acetominophen or cpm) dxm poli or hbr should absolutley be the only ingredient
 
also you cant extract dxm hydrobromide just dxm poli . im not sure if it was like this for other people but my dxm hbr trips never gave me the so called afterglow prior to the trip. dxm poli how ever most definatley did
 
Like Robitussin Long-Acting or some generic whic will read 15mg/5ml dxm hbr, I think the long acting is BS if its not Delsym. The long acting(15mg/5ml DXM hbr) bottles I use when I trip dont last no 12hrs like delsym or for some reason zicam does it to me as well.
 
nativenick - that is the first time I ever heard that trick for polisterex - I didn't realize it wasn't water soluble. That's a good way to get rid of the gunk...
 
Huh, I don't understand why people tend to give Delsym flack on account of it being a "weaker trip". The reason for that is that whatever the dose is (5oz = 888mgs I believe) will be split up; first 6 hours you'll get 444mgs, and next 6 hours you'll be redosed with the remaining 444mgs.

Needless to say the only thing one has to do to get an intense Delsym experience is simply... double your dosage! 2 or 3 5oz's should suffice. My most enjoyable experiences with DXM were with Delsym, being a strong 2nd-mid 3rd for 24-36 hours. Smoking a blunt midway through also helps exponentially.

The extreme duration of the dxm poli trip is a major plus IMHO.

As nativenick said, Delsym tends to be much better at giving you an afterglow because of its long-acting nature you're much more likely to fall asleep with the effects still going/your trip probably isn't even done when you wake up. I've only had afterglows with Hbr if I foolishly fell asleep before I came down.

MagickalKat: DXM Poli can be easily extracted with water on account of the DXM molecules being coated in that plastic coating. Just fill up a 2liter bottle with Delsym, add water, shake it for a while and let sit for 2-3 hours. All this orange powder will fall to the bottle, in which case all you have to do is make horizontal slits in the bottle and empty all the syrup water out.

I wonder why people don't just do cold water seperations on a shitload of Delsym bottles. I wouldn't mind having 10-20g of DXM Poli :D
 
You seriously enjoy tripping dex for 24-36 hours?

I tried Delsym before and I DID double the dose and I didn't like it... its possible my fucked up GI (ironically from so much dextro abuse) wasn't breaking down the polisterex properly...

But even as someone who loved DXM hardcore, I couldn't imagine tripping on it that long. My heart would probably explode from the tachycardia or I'd have a stroke from the increase in BP unless Delsym also keeps that under control due to the slower onset?
