DXM is related to the opiates and the research I did indicates SS could happen with opiates. However, from what I read, the danger is if one is on some AD(s) and takes DXM or opiates to get high (ie a high dose) and not at a dose for legit reasons. I have read a case that was the exception
to this. SS is not well understood, partly because it is very uncommon. I have read a report
of SS from DXM (at abuse dosages)James
