Taking DXM for the first time - do I have the right syrup?

[pinballwizards]

Hi guys,

This is my first post, and I was hoping to get a bit of advice on dxm. I live in the UK, and a lot of the syrups with just dextromethorphan hydrobromide aren't available. I managed to get some Robitussin Dry Cough medicine, which has only DXM under active ingredients, but it also contains Sorbitol. From what I've heard, this is a nasty chemical that causes nausea and diarrhoea. The whole bottle is 250ml, and if i take it all I'll get 375mg of dxm. This my first time taking the drug, and I don't want it to be ruined by nausea from taking too much Sorbitol. Will it have an effect on me given the amount I'm planning on taking (375mg)? Also, I'd like to point out that I really don't mind diarrhoea, it's just the nausea I'm worried about.

If it's a bad idea, is there another syrup I should get from the pharmacy?

Thanks a lot!

Hey,
I also live in the UK and have been trying to get hold of a syrup that just contains DXM. However, the only syrup I've found is DXM and Diphendryamine (anti-histamine that stops allergy like symptoms and nausea). That might be better for you?

I haven't tried it yet though as I'm taking fluoxetine and mixing that with DXM is really bad.

If this is your first time trying DXM, I wouldn't just go for the whole bottle, maybe half? And see how you go... You can always add more until you get your desired effects.

Hey wait m8. don't drink that sorbitol. IIRC that is the non-sugar addictive right?

My friends took about 275-325mg Nd one projectile vomited and the other walked over to the bathroom stumbling and mumbling and pointing to the door and he said he had a conversation with my dad but my dad said he was literally stumbling and mumbling and pale af. He went into the bathroom feeling ill and thought he had to puke, he then realized it was diarrhea and he sat on my toilet and spewed out his ass and vomited on his lap.


Other than that he enjoyed the trip, like he could care less bout the pukin' n shittin'

Most if not all syrups I've seen and consumed contain sorbitol, these haven't necessarily caused any issues for me. Sorbitol or not DXM is a pretty nauseating drug, I expected pure DXM powder to be worlds apart from syrup as far as nausea goes and it wasn't. I've found that drinking your syrup 1/3 at a time over 30-40 minutes to ease the nausea a bit, and although I doubt you will have any on hand ondansetron seemed to negate pretty much all nausea.

Just relax for the first couple hours in a dim lit room and ease into the experience and don't do any sort of strong physical activity as it will induce nausea. If you feel you need to puke and it's been over an hour or two just go ahead and do it, you'll usually feel alit better.

DXM has to be the only ingredient

This x100
Could be pills syrup whatever as long as it's only dxm

His product is DXM only, sorbitol is just a type of sugar alcohol used in place of normal sugar. It's found in most syrups and even gel caps.
