Title: DXM Powder - How to safely dose
Post by: thizz on August 21, 2012, 05:55 am
I was pleased to see DXM powder on the SR forums here... in many places DXM is not considered a legitimate recreational drug - even among drug users - so it is nice to see it offered here in pure powder form.  DXM is a cough suppressant found in MANY different over the counter products.  The problem is most of those products also contain other medications.  It might be cool that something has a few hundred MG's of DXM but if it is loaded up with other chemicals such as Acetaminophen they are dangerous to use for the DXM content and could even prove fatal.  If one wants to try DXM in over the counter form look for Robitussin Cough (Not cough and cold or cough and flu... just cough.  Make sure the only active ingredient is DXM.  It will say Dextromethorphan and give a MG amount.  If you find Robitussin Cough it is about 400 mg per 4 OZ bottle (long acting cough is what is is going by now, but robitussin change the box and name from time to time to confuse drug users).   If you find the cough gels where there are 20 in a bottle they are 300 mg's a bottle.

Here is the important stuff in one line... Look on the back of the medicine and make sure on the label the only "Active Ingredient" listed is Dextromethorphan HBR - Then read how many MG's are in a dose and multiply by the total number of doses in a bottle.  300 - 500 is a good dose for beginners.  Start at 300 because a few random people in this world have an enzyme deficiency of CYP2D6  and this makes DXM more potent to the body.  300mg is a good beginner dose. 

If you dose powder find out if it is Dextromethorphan freebase, Dextromethorphan HBR, or Dextromethorphan Hydrocitrate.  Those should be the only three sold in powder form and if if is one of the first two dose it with a shot of liquor to allow it to absorb.  If it is Hydrocitrate then it will absorb on its own.  Powder is slightly more potent than chugging the syrup and produces a cleaner trip. 

Available at your local supermarket as cough medicine.  Available on SR as pure DXM powder.
(Caution: Avoid Coriciden Cough and Cold (CCC's).  Although popular as a drug these do not meet the requirement of having Dextromethorphan listed as the ONLY active ingredient and for this reason it can and will kill you over time.  If it doesn't kill you it can make you bleed out of your eyeballs.  Stick with products containing DXM only.

Remember - start with 300mg's. 

DXM only active ingredient.

Enjoy,
