> I used to be a very heavy DXM abuser... about 1,400mg (two eight oz. bottles of Robitussin Maximum Stength Cough) every other day for six months, so I do know all about the havoc it can wreak.
Holy .... ! 1400mg/daily??? I didn't even know humans can tolerate such high dose :)
However, I've heard (fairly often, actually) of doctors using it at recommended dosage levels (i.e. 60mg bid using Delsym or another extended-release formulation) for the NMDA receptor antagonism -- especially in alcoholics, opiate addicts, coke addicts, and speed addicts.
Hmm 60 mg is pretty decent and low enough amount = 4 tablets of my anti-cough tabs. But they are definitely instant release, not extented - would that make a difference?
I'll try to dig on pubmed today to find out more info. Thanks for the tip.Brad
