Quick Question about Opiates and DXM

So I finally took everyone's advice and went out and bought a cough medicine that only had DXM HBr as the active ingredient.

However,
If I took one 10mg lortab earlier today.. around 6:00 pm and it is currently 10:39pm.. Would it be safe to trip?

I figured since I only took one and it wasn't that high of a mg.. that I would be fine.. however I want to get some others opinions..

the medicine is:

Vicks 44 Custome Care Non - Drowsy Dry cough relief

Active Ingredient: DXM HBr 30mg.

What are y'alls thoughts?

 

i would recomend taking the tab while your on the dxm. it wont hurt you. i like doing opiates when im on dxm. in fact, dxm seems to clear my nasal passages in high doses so i like to snort pills while im tripping. ive actually had cokeheads look at me surprised as to how much powder i can snort while im on dxm.

i would not recomend going all crazy and popping and snorting pills while on the dxm. but 1 tab, hell even 3 or 4 will be perfectly fine. i find doing opiates on dxm adds to the ''tussin euphoria"

 

Thanks for the response

 

seriously, i would never even think about taking ANYTHING with acetaminophen when taking dxm. the dxm is already extremely harsh on the liver and kidneys (moreso than alcohol), i wouldnt push your luck. its really easy to mess something up that way, especially if you're drinking syrup rather than an extract or pills. (all the syrup will gunk up your digestive system for a few hours after drinking it). if you do, i wouldnt advise ingesting more than 500mg of the stuff. i know the 5's and the 7.5's have 500, im not sure how much the 10's have but i believe its either 500 or 350 of apap.

 

Evidence? I've looked into this quite a bit and I've found no evidence that DXM is particularly harmful to the liver or kidneys. I'd actually be interested if you could cite a reputable source that claims otherwise.

 

i should have clairified, my group of friends just calls the syrup dxm and i get stuck in that habit sometimes. i was referring to the syrup. the syrup contains high fructose corn syrup, sugars, dextrose, and liquid glucose, all wreak havoc on your system if you make a habit of it (i know, i went from glycemic to full-on diabetic as a result of my use of the syrup, i have to make extractions or use the pills now). though i have had the kidney pain and dark amber urine characteristic of kidney failure a couple of times when i woke up after a trip and did my morning pee. i did not mean to imply the actual dxm chemical was harsh. though it is something i should do some research on, i would like to know this as well. though the comparison of dxm to a night of drinking came from william white's DXM faq, you'd just have to run a search to see what else he had put in there on the subject

 

Oh, yeah. There's no doubt the syrup is pretty bad for you, and the amount of sugar you need to consume to get to a recreational dose is very excessive. I've seen diabetic versions that have no sugar, but unfortunately no DXM-only ones (they all have CPM). My main objection to the syrup is all the sugar. But as far as the trip goes for me, syrup > gelcaps because the faster absorption from the syrup results in a higher DXO to DXM ratio.

 

if you're looking for fast obsorption, try what i do.

Get a glass cup (i use a jack daniels glass) and put all the gellcaps in there, put some water in it thats pretty hot, i usually use just enough to cover the caps maybe a lil more. remember the more water you use the more youre gonna have to drink. rinse the caps off a bit to get as much of the red dye that you can off but dont do it too long or you risk dumping out some dxm that might have leaked from a popped cap. let them sit for a bit, you'll notice they're glued to each other and the bottom of the glass (think about what it does in your stomach, it glues to the bottom and walls of the stomach). take a knife and poke holes in each one and use the knife to kinda squeeze the liquid out of the caps (careful, they spurt at times). then just shred them up. take another glass and a small wire strainer, dump everything in the glass into the strainer thats positioned over the other glass. use a spoon or something to mash it all down in the strainer, then get a small amount of water and pour it over the shredded caps to extract any leftover dxm. then just drink the remaining liquid. it should be pure dxm and water, and look like blood. a lot of times ill put it in a pill bottle and carry around what looks to be a vial of blood lol. it tastes very salty (bromide salt from the hbr) but it doesnt taste too bad. in one sip you can consume 300-600mg if you do it right.

it sounds bad when i say this, but even with my newfound diabetes (ironically induced from this very syrup) i still drink the syrup. you just cant get the same kind of trip with the other methods. what ive done to cut down on the sugar intake is i usually do a bottle of syrup and an extract from the pills and drink a ton of water lol. i dont think most people would have the same problems i did from the syrup unless they use it like i did, i was drinking two bottles of robo every saturday night after a 6 hour food fasting for 6-9 months (definately breaking the 1 week per plateau rule, as i would hit 4th plateau 90% of the time)
