> Has anyone tried dxm for depression? I heard it is very good, and in high doses can produce effects similar to the dissociative ketamine.
Just read the erowid vault and other sites. I've never tried it and it is extremely dangerous on its own beyond the recommended dose for Robitussin.
> Has anyone taken it in high doses for it's recreational effects€€? I am afraid to take it because of the possibility of dying from other active ingrediants.How about the potential of dying from itself??
The only cough syrup i could find with ONLY dextromethorphan is benylin. All of the others contain other stuff that can kill you like guaifenesin.
Huh? Guaifenesin is nearly harmless, you haven't done your research if you're planning on something as dangerous as what you propose. I think the LD50 is like a gallon. You are probably referring to mixtures with pseudoephedrine, which like ephedrine has a dangerous epinephrine like potential at higher dosesAnd There is also possible interaction with antidepressants like maois.
Yes.
Can you take dxm with an ssri like paxil?
In its recommended dose for an occasional bad cough, most likely yes.
