Don't try DXM, please.

So, here was my situation:
I was in a pretty depressed and "not give a fuck" sort of mood the other day, so I went to the pharmacy and bought some DXM containing cough syrup. I've researched a little about it, but I never really considered the negative effects until after I took it. I'm pretty sure that I consumed a little under 300mg of Dextromethorphan. Drinking the shit was nasty, and once it kicked in I was super underwhelmed. At first it just felt like I was drunk. I was lying in bed, hoping to notice a difference in how music sounded, but that never ended up happening. I was lying there and scrolling through my Facebook feed, until I got really itchy all over my head. I started scratching it, and the more i scratched the itchier it got, so I tried stopping and for a while it was fine. Then, other parts of my body started itching, so I started scratching again and it got to the point where I could not stop myself. Other than the scratching, the "trip" just felt like I was really drunk and light-headed, nothing special. No hallucinations or out of body experiences like most claim. The next morning, I still felt very light headed and dizzy. I started researching the negative effects of DXM and immediately regretted making the decision of consuming it after I came across some theories about brain damage, olney's lesions and what not. The drug just feels really dirty and un-natural, like something a broke white-trash redneck would take after getting his 3rd eviction notice. I just hope I didn't suffer any long-term chemical alterations in my brain, because I definitely feel pretty stupid for taking DXM right now. If anyone can tell me how this could have (or has) potentially fucked up my brain I would appreciate it.

TL;DR - I drank some cough syrup, feel like shit and hope I didn't fuck up my brain as a result.

I guess people don't know what moderation is ....I knew and still know of a dude (unfortunately ) that consumed roughly 7 grams of Crystal meth in a 3 day period. ...u just don't do that. ..

Take a hit, bump, line, whatever. .wait a little and do another

Yea I used to pop those Coricidin HBP C&C 30 mg's each 20-25 at a time just to start the night out. It's really a crazy drug, keeps you "high" for days if you take enough. I used to stay up 2-3 days from 1-2 doses if they were large enough. It was really stupid, like corso said grab a beer dude or better yet smoke a blunt:bigjoint:

Here's something I posted on another thread about my first encounter with DXM

When I was 16 I ate an entire box of coricidin cough and cold and it was horrible right after I downed the box I realized I had to go meet a friend for sushi I sat down in the booth suddenly it kicked in and I started to feel sick by this point I had already downed like 6 pieces of sushi I got up to go to the restroom and realized I had lost all motor control I stumbled and fell on the ground the waiter helped me up and directed me to the restroom weirdest part was none of the other people eating at the restraunt looked up or even seemed to notice but that's Cali for you!! as soon as I walked in before I could even make it to the toilet I vomited chunks of raw fish all over the restroom floor after that I stumbled out of the bathroom and saw that the waiter was calling the police so me and my buds left the rest of the night was pretty fucked up as well at that point it was just me and my other friend who had also eaten a box of coricidin we parked are car in a apartment complex and forgot where it was and spent most of the night walking around in circles trying to find it. It was the strange high like your dreaming but your awake.

I seriously doubt u got brain damage from doing it once, don't worry about it just don't do it again and your fine
