Guide to DXM

in Non-Prescription Drugs

by Erowid

v 1.6 - Jun 15, 2004

This document is out of date. In the mid 2000's, the U.S. DEA and FDA coordinated to remove pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine (PPA) from most cough and cold products on the market. This document reflects product contents from before this change. Many products kept the same name and general formulation, replacing ephedrine/pseudoephedrine/phenylpropanolamine with another chemical (often phenylephrine).

INTRODUCTION
For those who choose to use DXM recreationally, it is extremely important to pay attention to the active ingredients list of the brand they choose to use. People knowledgeable in the field recommend that only products containing DXM alone (sometimes listed as 'Dextromethorphan hydrobromide') in the Active Ingredients list should be used.

The Active Ingredients list on the side of pharmaceutical products will include all ingredients which may have a strong effect on the mind or body. While some ingredients shown in an Active Ingredients lists may have recreational potential at higher-than-recommended dosages, others may be deadly. It is extremely important to know which is which. Never use a product recreationally which contains an Active Ingredient which you are not familiar with. Users should be familiar with each ingredient's possible side-effects, likelihood of allergic reaction, dose range, and overdose symptoms.

Most products will also include an Inactive Ingredients list. In general, substances in this list will have little effect on the mind or body. One exception to this is Sorbitol, a sugar substitute used in diet foods. See below for more details.

Below are two lists. The first describes some of the most common ingredients found in combination with DXM in over-the-counter products, and lists possible side effects and health hazards from ingesting high doses of these ingredients. Second is a list of more than 80 non-prescription medications containing various forms of DXM. Listed are the active ingredients (as of 2001) and any relevant notes or cautions. Be aware that over time, companies may change what chemicals are in a product. Always read the label.

SPECIAL WARNING - Coricidin Cough and Cold
There are many over-the-counter products which contain DXM. Most contain additional active ingredients which are best avoided at high doses. The higher the dose, the more likely problems are. One product which has caused problems for many people is Coricidin Cough and Cold which contains DXM and Chlorpheniramine Maleate. If you are using DXM recreationally, avoid using Coricidin Cough and Cold as your DXM source. We have collected a few reports specifically about people's experiences with Coricidin.

INGREDIENTS

Acetaminophen
- High doses of Acetaminophen can cause serious liver damage and possibly death. Symptoms of overdose may include bloody, black, or tarry stool; bloody or cloudy urine; pain in lower back and/or side; sores, ulcers, or white spots on lips or in mouth; sore throat; or unusual bleeding or bruising.
- We have seen recommendations that no more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen be taken in a day (and no more than 2600 mg/day for long-term use).
- ReadersDigestHealth.com
Aspirin
- Symptoms of overdose may include rapid breathing, difficulty swallowing, ringing in the ears or loss of hearing, bloody urine, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, fever, swelling of eyelids, face or lips, and convulsions.
- Toxic Aspirin overdoses can be seen beginning at 150-300 mg/kg (10,000 mg for a person weighing 160 lb).
- HealthCentral.com
Chlorpheniramine Maleate
- High doses of Chlorpheniramine Maleate (CPM) can cause severe and life-threatening symptoms including seizures; shortness of breath or troubled breathing; weakness; loss of consciousness; severe dryness of mouth, nose, or throat; bleeding from skin, mouth, eyes, rectum, and vagina; and possibly death.
- We have seen recommendations that no more than 24 mg of CPM be taken in a day.
- Medline Plus Chlorpheniramine
- Search PubMed
- See Experiences with CPM Containing DXM Products
Guaifenesin
- High doses of Guaifenesin can cause severe nausea and vomiting.
- MedlinePlus
Pseudoephedrine (Hydrochloride)
- High doses of pseudoephedrine can cause irregular heartbeat, headaches, difficulty breathing, anxiety, and seizures. Though some people use pseudoephedrine recreationally, there is too much pseudoephedrine in these products to use them as a source for DXM.
- Medline Plus
- Search PubMed
Sorbitol
- Sorbitol is a sugar substitute that is used in some "sugar-free" brands of cough syrup. High doses of Sorbitol (between 10 and 50 grams) can cause gastrointestinal distress from mild discomfort to severe diarrhea.
