yeah I recommend monster energy drink, and ginger ale as a chaser drank in that order after drinking a gulp of orange delsym, also delsym extended release, I would recommend a bottle of non-drowsy wal-tussin or tussin cough liquid gels with only dextromethorphan hbr as the active ingredients, dextromethorphan polistirex is extended release and takes an hour to kick in as opposed to hbr which takes about half hour to kick in, hbr last 6 to 8 hours, while polistirex last 8 to 10 hours, and never take more than 9 mg per pound of body weight, 9.5mg/ilb is dxm's ld50.
