Extracting DXM

[Swag]

Ok, so I was planning on extracting DXM from a bottle of Robotussin Cough tommorow. I was planning on using the agent lemon extraction method. I was wondering if anyone has performed this extraction and is the ending liquid just as bad as the cough syrup to drink? Also would I be able to store the extract for a later use?

Your better off buying Robitussin Cough Liquid gels. They contain only DXM and no extraction is needed. You can get the walmart brand for $4 a bottle(20pills @15mg each).

Lind's advice is easiest, and probably best.

However, if you still feel like havin' chemistry day in your kitchen then the agent lemon procedure is pretty straight forward, and outlines a procedure for storage.

Just out of curiosity, were you going to use 'tussin syrup?

Yeah Robotussin Cough syrup contains just DXM and flavoring I just can't stand drinking the shit ever since I drank 2 bottles and puked my brains out

If I am correct, stored DXM will start to oxidise into DXO (dextrorphan)?

ive extracted dxm from cough syrup a few times but i used sodium hydroxide and naptha it worked great and made crystalline dxm. i took it as soon as i made it because i read that it does oxidise into dxo

yeah there are a couple of way to extract DXM.. if you end up changing your mind and using the Ammonia and Naptha method, make sure you pay attention to the part that says "Non-Sudsy Ammonia ONLY".

Granted you could do what floridasucks said and use NaOH and Naptha.

 

[floridasucks]

this was from 8oz of robo cough syrup.....

Sounds worth trying I have a 4lb thing of NaOH and VM&P Naptha from my DMT extraction... is it the same principle. Also I think I might be screwed because I did end up using Clear Ammonia but it did contain suds .... haven't drank it yet...Oh yeah and did you smoke the crystalline DXM Florida (I don't think you can smoke DXM but I just was wondering cause you have the pills next to a light...)

 

[richslayerbc08]

what about using just straight butane?..like you would with making hashoil?

yea its worth it but you need something too dry it like a hairdryer, i used a heat gun and an organic vapor mask unless you want to inhale naptha fumes.

i dont know how the dmt extraction goes ive never read up on that. anyone have a link?

i used the single phase acid-base extraction off erowid and minus the zippo lighter fluid.

no i did not smoke it the lighter was just for size.

I know it's oxidized in a liver into dextrorphan.

Lookin' at the structure, it looks like it could be oxidized from sittin' out, bein' old, light, heat.

@ Swag

I gotta agree about the 'tussin taste. Horrible. I can barely take the stuff at recom. dose. That taste leads 16 yr olds to eat CCCs

By chance, have you guys had Robitussin DXM cough syrup (like not the generic ones)? It's a lot better than the shitty generic ones at like walmart of most grocery stores. Plus, walgreens makes DXM pills (I think the only other ingredient is guaifenesin).

The Robotussin i'm using is the actual brand Robotussin not the wal-mart kind. I usually use the pills but I get chalky ones that are really disgusting the swallow in mass quantities or even small quantities and I usually need to swallow around 15 for the DXM to actually work.

Did you try to convert it back, or did you just evap. the NP solvent?

If you titrate the DXM/NP solvent solution with a few drops of hcl acid you can actually see the DXM hcl precipitate out of solution. Then, just add a small amount of distilled water to the whole thing(so the DXM crystals have somewhere to migrate to) and agitate. You then separate the layers, keep the distilled water/DXM hcl solution, and evaporate.

It's much better to take it as a salt, then having to rely on your stomach acid to convert the shit.

i just evaped the NP. but i drank a glass of grapefruit juice with it cause i read that it helps.

yea i read about taking it as a salt but i didnt know how to convert it.

thanks for the info.. if i do it again i will try this.

I was reading through this thread and saw something about smoking DXM...

DO NOT SMOKE DXM!!! I don't remember specifically what but it turns into all kinds of nasty toxic shit if you try to smoke it. Check out the dextroverse.org forums for more info.

Also, as an experienced DXM user I would go with these guys and suggest cough gels. They will run you about $5 a piece but I just steal them so it's free for me.

congrats on your first post.. made a great first impression. Yeah, stealing cold medicine to extract drugs is extremely intelligent and cool. Good call on not smoking DXM.

What about just finding a company that produces it and buy it from them. Its legal to get i think. Or not as watched as others.

DXM HBr can be bought from Sigma for $56 for 5 grams.
Perfectly legal, you were correct.
