Still feeling DXM effects after 10 days
To begin, I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum. I'm not a regular visitor and I'm not sure what the best place to post this is. So, let me go down the info:
I had 165mg of DXM from Sucrets on the 10th of February. The low dosage was to test the waters and see how I react. This was extracted improperly (but I didn't know that.) It's possible the dose was actually significantly less. Felt first plateau effects, gone by the next day, all is well.
On the 16th (about a week later, the recommended wait after a first plateau experience) I had 100ml of syrup, which contained 300mg of DXM. A few hours later I had another 50ml, for a total of 450mg. I had it on a very full stomach with heaps of caffeine. This was much more intense but not extremely disassociative, just sort of lazy and body high. I would say it was a second plateau experience, but it may have been third without disassociative effects from DXO (see below.)
Now, about 4 and a half days later, I still feel (vaguely) dissociated and dreamlike, minor headache, somewhat dilated pupils (that are reactive to light) and shadowy visuals. I think that the visuals may be caused by the pupil dilation, but they persist in the dark. None of the symptoms have got noticeably better or worse since the experience.
After 3 days I went to a doctor and they told me to wait it out, which didn't help ease my mind. I think that a CYP2D6 deficiency may be my problem, and I didn't detect it because I thought I had a normal reaction to 165mg, when it may have been an exaggerated reaction to 50mg (hypothetically - I now don't know how much the first dose was.)
Does CYP2D6 deficiency explain everything? It's my prime suspect, but I'm having panic attacks thinking that it may be something worse. What's the recommendation?
