I got a cold, a bottle of robitussin extra strength... Never done it so tonight seems like the right night. Should I?
To late, chugged. Don't think 1 bottle was enough though, erowid said 100-200mg for light dose, bottle was 100ml... Colds gone though.
wow, you're a real genius, aren't you? you do realize that there isn't a medicine called robitussin extra strength that contains DXM alone, and theres even one that doesnt have ANY DXM at all, right? http://www.robitussin.ca/cough/cough2.asp robitussin maximum strength cough is what you would want, IF you would want to subject your mind and body to a dangerous drug like DXM, and IF you want to take one of the least safe methods of ingestion and drink a bottle of cough syrup. btw, sounds like you don't have a clue as to how to dose it. first of all the level of effect you'll reach is in direct relation to your body mass, and it takes a certain number of milligrams per kilogram of body mass to reach a certain plateau. the recommended ratios for figuring out your dosages are given in many places on the web, most notably in the DXM FAQ. and for the record, milligrams and milliliters are only equivalent, as far as i'm aware, when discussing pure water. drinking a 100ml bottle of cough syrup doesn't mean you're only ingesting 100mg of DXM. for robitussin extra strength cough and cold, you'd be ingesting 3mg of DXM per mL of cough syrup. so that would be a pretty average 300mg dose, which would be a solid second plateau dose for -most- people. you'd also be getting 4g guaifenesin (which will probably have you puking pretty well, if drinking cough syrup or the DXM didnt make you puke already). 600mg of pseudoephedrine will also help upset your stomach and will have a rather unpleasant stimulant effect. btw, thats not good for your heart rate, and DXM itself seems to mess with many people's heart rate and blood pressure and whatnot from time to time. this is pretty dangerous. robitussin extra strength DM cough control would be exactly the same, but minus the pseudoephedrine. not great for you, but a step better at least. and then robitussin extra strength chest congestion contains only the expectorant guaifenesin. a nice 4g of it. and no DXM. what a winner, you're poisoning yourself! do yourself a favor and actually think about what you're doing to your body before you act next time, ok? now this is really the least of your concerns, but its really not a good idea to enter psychedelic mindstates while you are in any way unhealthy, whether thats mentally or physically. its got much larger chances of turning sour.
actually, i was looking at robitussin's canadian website, and it looks like you folks dont get robitussin maximum strength cough. www.robitussin.ca the ONLY robitussin brand cough syrup you would have would probably be a particular childrens cough medicine, robitussin children's stubborn cough DM syrup, which contains 7.5mg DXM per every 5mL this is the only body and the only mind you currently are capable of possessing. don't ruin it! don't do stupid things to it!
Well, it was about 80ml left in the bottle, and dxm was on the back, and im feeling some of the effects. I looked it up on eriowid prior to using. What the hell is wrong with it, im just trying it to see how it is, not like im stealing bottles from the drug store to satisfy my needs as a drug addict. I understand how you feel about the drug, personaly the effects arent as good as I thought, but hey, one life, mise well try these things.
I don't believe he ever said he was against dxm.. I thought his point was that he was against the irresponsible use of cough syrup which contains dxm and other ingredients that could be harmful to whom ever digested it. You don't want to end up in the hospital for trying to "trip out" on some cough syrup...
actually beckner, you have no idea how i feel about the drug or my opinions of what you're doing. i didn't accuse you of any wrongdoing, merely stupidity and rash decisions. and erowid is NOT the be-all end-all drug library. although fairly extensive and GENERALLY accurate, its only an amature website run by a small handful of people, and there are some important mistakes and ommissions, not to mention partial truths. the DXM dosages they recommend would be partial truths in this case....they are only very general dosages, not at all precise. if you want to experiment with DXM you need to take on the responsibility to do it in as safe a manner as possible. that means NOT TAKING ANY PREPARATION WITH ANY ACTIVE INGREDIENT BESIDES DXM and actually having some kind of substantial knowledge about it before hand, not "i heard on erowid you take like 200mg and it will make u high" i couldn't care less that you want to try DXM, hell, it was my first drug, and i do it maybe once a year or so. probably wont do it ever again, but who knows. at least not for a long time. it can be pretty interesting once you get into the higher dosages and stop fucking around with the first and second plateau dosages. but its TERRIBLE for you, ESPECIALLY if it's a cold preparation. if its got other ingredients, they can be dangerous enough that they CAN KILL YOU. ever heard of coricidin? its a brand of cold pills they sell around here that kids figured out you could "trip" off of if you ate enough of them. in addition to DXM, they contain enough antihistamines to fuck up your heart rate and dry out the mucous membranes to the point of spontaneous bleeding from the nose, mouth, eyes, anus, anywhere, really. quite a few kids have died from taking coricidin, actually. cough syrup is full of lots of sugars and thickeners, and even sometimes certain substances to make it taste WORSE or irritate the GI tract more to make you sick if you take a lot of it. the sugars and thickening agents and such are terribly hard on the liver and kidneys in large quantities, and DXM isn't great for your body to begin with. worse yet for your mind. its theorised to lead to olneys lesions with frequent or high dosage use, and while it hasn't been proven to be linked to this type of brain damage, then you need to just meet some long time dexheads and you'll know most of them are pretty screwed up one way or another. my ex used to be best friends with a guy she claimed to be basically a genius...then he got into smoking a shitload of pot and eventually drinking robitussin almost every night. his mind started slipping rather quickly and they eventually parted ways. i met him once by chance, and when he entered the room he didnt even recognize her, though he used to be brilliant. and this isn't coming from some hardcore straightedge person either, my ex was a cocaine afficionado and opiate coinnesseur...not to mention she enjoyed tripping and rolling with me. its simply real life. not everything has to be scientifically proven to be true, or at least likely enough to not want to risk it. i've tripped MANY times and use DXM a number of times, but you know what? if you're going to do drugs you owe it to yourself to be responsible, to educate yourself THOROUGHLY on what you're doing BEFORE you decide to do it - and i don't mean giving a couple experience reports and a recommended dosage a once over at erowid, i mean gaining actual knowledge.
Day after, I feel fine, no vomiting, or trips to the hostpital. And I didn't take it because "Because I heard on erowid 200mg gets you high." I know a couple people who recently tried it, same brand, and said it was ok, they did 2 or more bottles each, so I though 1 would just give me a sample, and it did. I wasn't tripping out to bad, just a little buz. I wouldn't have done it if I knew there was a huge chance of danger, and I was all right. Thanks for the concern... (BTW, I wont be doing it again away) Oh, and about those other chems you said to watch out for. The two active ingredients on the back are Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, 15mg. which I read is what is suggested for recreational use. Also Guaifenesin 200mg, which causes vomiting, loosens mucus, phlegm... None of those killer chems that I seen on some sites.
you should have taken the cough gels, just take 20 and that will give you a 300mg dose. i prefer taking some pills then drinking a whole bottle of nasty robitussin and puking. so if your gonna trip again go with the cough gels.
ya I did when taking 40 of them , 20 probably won't. lots of DXM will most likely make you puke, it causes nausia all by itself, it is a substance that deserves some caution though cause bad onset can leave you with a something is seriously wrong feeling, Ive thought I was going to die on 600mg once but that was on the upslope of the trip, once it statred to level off I was roboing away on my laptop games very enjoyable. honestly u should be able to find the syrup without guestawatsit, shoot for that if you can't find gelcaps, I know you said you weren't going to do it again, but we've all said things....
