In reply to Dextromethorphan as an antidepressant?, posted by sukarno on March 7, 2006, at 12:57:06
I can't say anything about Dextromethorphan's antidepressant potential. But the media gives it attention for other reasons.
In 2003 the DEA wrote on its website: Dextromethorphan abuse is often referred to as "Robo Tripping" since many teens consume excessive amounts of Robotussin cough medication to obtain the dextromethophan. The user population of DXM is generally teenagers and young adults. Teens typically purchase and consume these large quantities of over-the-counter cold medications to reach the desired effects. Effects from over ingestion include slurred speech, hyperexcitability, lethargy, sweating, hypertension and hallucinations.
