I have to big bottles of Robotusin CF in my house. Can I use that or do I need to guy buy something else.

Thanks in advance for ur guys help!

Check the active ingredients on Robitussin CF. If there's any other active ingredient than dextromethorphan hydrobromide, throw the bottles out. You wanna avoid things like doxylamine succinate, gaufinesin, pseudoephedrine, etc. Next time you get robo, just get the Robitussin Max Strength DM kind. Anyother syrup isn't worth it.

Yeah I think I bought that a couple months ago when I was sick. I will go over to walgreens and pick up some Robitussin Max DM.

So do you think 350mg is a good first time or should I go bigger?

Also can I take a bendryl for the itching. I heard thats what some people do. But is t safe?

The problem with using Benadryl for itch from DXM is that it wears off long before the DXM does, and then the itch can come back. I never got the itches from DXM, and most people don't, but if you do, its because its a histaminic reaction, in other wordfs, you're allergic to it. If you can't get the itchiness to stop, you should consider using it less often, or even finding a different way to get high, since continuous allergic reactions can be very dangerous. This is why I had to quit drinking poppy tea.

Also, I hate to burst your bubble, but you should REALLY take a small (~100mg) dose first, to see if you're one of the ~7% of people with a certain enzyme missing from your chemistry, which makes DXM affect you very strongly at very low doses. If you feel little or nothing at 100mg, you're good to go for a higher dose. But if you're one of the 7% (not a really small percentage or anything), 350mg could bhe dangerous and would be very hellish to go through... for at least 16 hours. Trust me, a bad DXM trip goes on forever. And ever. In fact the extremely long lingering effects is one of the reasons I hate DXM. That and I began developign very bad reactions to it after taking it in the form of Coricidin long ago.

Oh I've never done DXM before this will be my first time but a lot of a stories I've read they talked about itching so I figured it happened a majority of the time.

Yeah back about 3 years ago I took 12 coricidin pills and I didn't react badly towards it. But I've sense than learned how dangerous it could be so I just want to try a syrup.

I had my buddy pick up a couple bottes of Robitussin long acting they didn't have DM. It says the only active ingredient is Dextromethorphan HBr, USP 15 mg and that is 15mg in 5mL. THat should work fine correct?

 

[Xorkoth]

Yes

So you've used it before? Go for it then

350mg could be pretty intense depending on your sensitivity but more likely it will be moderate. In any case it should be safe, if you're sure you won't react badly.

Unless I became allergic to it sense I did it about three years ago. I didn't feel sick from it at all but the trip was pretty intense I didn't expect it from cold medicine. So the Robitussin Cough Long lasting will be fine.

 

[mulberryman]

Thats what I used to take, the kind that has 15mg per 5ml.

Yeah how did it work out for you? How many mg did you usually take?

 

[mulberryman]

Well, I'm somewhat sensitive to DXM, but usually 3-4 oz, or a little less than half the large bottles would send me into another dimension. I don't take it anymore, since it causes side effects for me. DXM is an experience, but you could say I've moved on from it. Still, every once in a while I'll pick up a bottle. It can be addicting, you know...

Yeah I've done pretty much every drug out there besides this in a syrup form and heroine and have never gotten adicted to one yet. Most of them I never touched again besides coke and rolls. But even thats at moderation. So I hope DXM doesn't drag me down lol

This is interesting, I've just read that DXM can block the absorbtion of vitamin B12, and anyone taking it for extended periods may need to take B12 supplements.

whats everyones experience with zicam cough sprays? seems like a much better alternative to robitussin. only 16.3 ml and almost 400mg of dxm.

Yeah I haven't read anything about that.

b12 helps maintain nerve cells and red blood cells correct?

I think there was a guy on here some where that talked about it and said it got him real fucked up. But also really sick.

Zicam is the most foul tasting brew I've ever tried. The last time I drank it out of a glass mixed with orange juice STILL smells like zicam even after 2 years. Then again I was a pretty bad dissociative addict (high bi-weekly use for 6 years with some sporadic binges) so anything that had that bitter ass dxm-esque taste would make me projectile vomit. I can't even walk by a bottle of zicam without puking. But, if your stomach has not yet been compromised by heavy dxm use, it's not much liquid to swallow down.
