dxm aka cough syrup

Posted by dondon on December 9, 2005, at 17:53:40

For those of you that have tried dxm recreationally before, how did you know you didn't have the CYP2D6 liver deficiency? I read an article on dxm that says 6-10% of the population has this deficiency and It also says that for the people that have this deficiency it can result in hospitalization and death even with a small recreational dose. Did you start with a low dose ?

What will happen if a CYP2D6 deficient person uses dxm at recreational doses? WIll they die or will it just feel uncomfortable?

throwup, or if its in your body already, then the blood levels will rise to the point that you need help.

dxm probably isnt the best recreational drug...heavy-use can result in "olnoy's lesions" (i may have misspelled that), which is the kind of brain damage/alteration you see in people who use other dissociatives--pcp, for instance. You're probably better off smoking pot, eating shrooms, or dropping acid.
