I think I had it once and I am a bit hesitant to continue using it but I will anyway. Have you ever experience irregular heartbeat while on dxm? What did you think at that moment?
Why don't you elaborate on the subject and tell us about your heart issues while on DXM? I would like to know the details.
^^^ yes so wud i i have used dxm more tyms that i wud lyk to think abut... for abut a yr i did it almost every day... going up to 900 mg doses... and i have heart difects from birth (eratic heart beats) but on dxm i haven't noticed anything of the sort... it's a dissociative so u may think ur having irratic heart beats, palputations, so on but in reality u very well, most lykly are not... especially since it doesn't have much strain on circulation unlike other drugs (i.e. stimulants, depressants, ect.) www.erowid.org myt have sum useful info u cud use
shows what a years use of dxm will do to you. are you ok man? what are the side effects and how do you feel, do you feel at all apart of this reality. if you do thats intriging to me, cause fuck it fucks people up royal that shit. talking around i discovered after using any sort of dissociatives you will never feel fully the same again. very sad. i know. be carefull. call me bullshit if you will.
ya well im sry my spellin' isn't A material i got issues w/ that since i was a kid IT'S CALLED DISLEXIA U FUCKER!! quit nit picking on little things that don't make a difference... did my post make sense to u? obviously so y bitch abut the spelling? does it serve any purpose besides insulting sum1 w/ a learning disability?!?!! as for other quesitons asked here is a detailed list of effects: POSITIVE mood lift, euphoria giggling, laughing dissociation of mind from body (positive when sought) creative dreamlike experiences some users report empathic feelings, forgiveness, warm feelings towards others NEUTRAL pupil dilation visual and aural hallucinations decreased sexual functioning (difficulty achieving orgasm) confusion, disorientation skin sensitivity, alters tactile (touch) and skin sensations robotic, zombie-like walking, "robo-walk" discoordination, reduced agility NEGATIVE upset stomach, vomiting dizzyness body itching rash, red blotchy skin diarrhea fever tachycardia (racing, pounding heart) some users report feeling disconnected, isolated from others some users report hangover/depression on the following 1-2 days. as for long term damage there is no scientific evidence for that and for the person above's info i have always been lyk this has nothing to do w/ the dxm but the alcohol ur drinking or cud b drinking has MUCH worse damage to brain then any dissociative does as a clinical fact... im studying psychopharmacology at the moment and i kno resent tests... DXM can only trigger psychological problems that already exist and speed up their process, it wud b inevitable that u'd eventually get these illnesses but it jst causes them to appear much earlier... if expanding ur conciousness and making life changing choices after words counts as pernament damage then so b it... but clinically there is no pernament damage to brain... this site may clear up sum of the incorrect information you have heard http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/dxm.shtml
DXM Health Concerns * Every individual reacts differently to every substance. * Be mindful at every step. * Know your body. Know your mind. Know your source. WARNINGS Products containing any active ingredients other than 'DXM' or 'Dextromethorphan' should not be used. High doses of Guaifenesin can cause severe nausea and vomiting. High doses of Acetaminophen can cause liver-damage and may be fatal. Some brands of DXM containing cough-syrups, including Drixoral Cough and Fever contain acetaminophen. High doses of Chlorpheniramine Maleate can cause severe and life-threatening symptoms including seizures, loss of consciousness, bleeding from skin, mouth, rectum, and vagina, and possibly death. Some brands, including Coricidin Cough and Cold contain Chlorpheniramine maleate. Do not take DXM if you are using, or have used an MAO Inhibitor within the last 2 weeks. MAOI's include harmine & harmaline, as well as many anti-depressants. Check with a doctor if you're unsure whether you medication contains MAOI's. When combined with MAOI's, DXM can cause "serotonin syndrome" with fever, hypertension, and arrhythmias. Do not take DXM if you are using, or have used an SSRIs within the last 2 weeks. SSRIs include many anti-depressants, including Fluoxetine (Prozac), Citalopram (Celexa, Lexapro), Paroxetine (Paxil), and others. Check with a doctor if you're unsure whether you medication is an SSRI. When combined with SSRIs, DXM may cause "serotonin syndrome" with fever, hypertension, arrhythmias, etc. References: Bowdle TA.

J Clin Oncol. 2000 Apr;18(8):1780-99.; Nausea, stomach cramps, and other unpleasant gastro-intestinal effects are common and may persist for days after use. Itching and other skin reactions have been reported. The large amount of glucose, thickeners, etc., present in many cough syrups may be hard on your kidneys and pancreas. Regular or frequent DXM use can lead to craving the experience and to emotional dependence. å Although not common, some people go on to use DXM daily and can find it difficult to quit. It is not yet established whether regular use of DXM causes physical dependence (physical withdrawal symptoms upon stopping regular use). Some users report a 1-2 week "hangover" period after stopping use which could suggest mild physical withdrawal. There is no evidence of life-threatening health risks from withdrawal, but there is little data available on the subject. Regular users experience tolerance and require increased dosages to achieve the same level of effects. Olney's Lesions: The theory that DXM may cause this type of brain lesioning is based on extrapolation from other NMDA antagonist actions and is not considered definitive.
I have heart problems too, and for about three months I did atleast 400mg of DXM atleast once a week, and I never felt any strain on my heart.
When i was on it, i couldnt find my heartbeat for 20 minutes... im sure it was just me being paranoid but still it scared the shit out of me... Sorry about ur learning disability man. He didnt mean to pick on u like that.... but sometime young kids will come on here and just type crazy on purpose..
You were probably dying and should probably stop. Lyke tht wud prly help it out alot bc u culd hav had a hrtattk. yuh!!
i didnt have trouble with my heart when ive taken it. and i think it may have changed me. but whatever teh change was, it was mostly to do with my perception of reality. i liked the change, i dunno if it made me a worse person. i hope not!
