Sorry if I sound ignorant but the only weighting system i know is in grams

I took Five .34 FL OZ of Robotussin. On that back it says USP 20 mg *in each 10ml container.

Any help would be appreciated
 
Google is your friend.

0.34 fl oz = 10.055 mL, so we can round that down to 10mL, so therefore 20mg per 0.34 fl oz.

5 x 20mg = 100mg DXM

Just type the first number and unit you want to convert into Google and it will automatically convert it to the most commonly converted to unit.
 
OK, I've got quite a bit of experience with doing DXM and also introducing ten or so people to it. I wrote a Dutch-language manual on how to obtain and correctly use DXM that was used by a TV program about drugs. They would feature one drug every episode and have one of the show's presenters take the drug in question.

If you have not taken it before, take 100 mg or so to test for CYP2D6 deficiency, which roughly 1 in 7 people have. If you trip balls off of 100 mg, then you know your liver is missing (or lacking in) a certain enzyme that breaks down DXM (among other drugs). It'll still be metabolized, but through a longer, less direct route.

If you take a full dose of DXM (300mg or so for people with no tolerance who weigh about 75 kg/150 lbs), you'll trip extremely hard and for up to 24 hours, which can be very unpleasant.

So start out with 100mg if you're just getting into DXM. Otherwise, I recommend a 300mg dosage for a solid mid 2nd plateau trip. Adjust up/down for different body weights/metabolisms:

- Adjustment for weight in percentages; if you weigh 60kgs/120lbs, you need to take 80% of your normal dose (i.e. 20% less). If you're 90 kgs/180 lbs, take 20% extra DXM. You get the idea.
- If you know you're one of those skinny mofo's who can eat whatever they want and not gain weight, take 30-40% less or it will hit you like a freight train.
