Dxm

[BabySteps]

I am on probation now for shoplifting and possession of marijuana, I can't smoke pot anymore and I have been using DXM instead, for those of you who don't know DXM is dextromethorphan, an ingridient in otc cough n cold medicines at low doses used to treat cough symptoms, but at high doses it is a strong dissociative.

I have been using it everyday for a few months, and I haven't used in a few days due to partly wanting to do right for the lord and partly because i don't want to get caught stealing it and go back to jail.

It is hard not to because it is free and it makes me feel not depressed for 8 hours or so, and I can't afford my anti depressants and my parents don't want to help me with my meds, and frankly I don't feel like hearing the flack from them about being on meds.

I wish i could feel good without being high but I have depression and social anxiety issues and DXM cures it for a temporary time, I missed my appointment with my therapist today cause i didn't want to get up and I don't really like the nurse practitioner they always give me.

I just want to get high so bad really rite now I am craving some opiates I want to nod out for a few hours and stuff, cause an ex girlfriend issue and stuff i am depressed about.

Idk what to do really, life does not seem to get better I pray and stuff but still no change really.

Hey bro I had to go to the psychward to get off that. I have charges agaist me for stealing dxm and it just isn't good. I can relate since I did it the whole summer but, I believe you need prayer and intervention to get ahold of this.

I am praying for you brother. Life can be so much better without abusing meds. Maybe you can find an antidepressant that will work for you. It took me a long time to do so but I finally found one that works for me: Effexor XR. It may not be good for everyone but it is the one that finally worked for me. If you don't like your therapist or nurse practitioner you can ask for someone else. I had to do that when I got a bad one once and they gave me a wonderful doctor who helped me so much. I wish you all the best. Bless you my friend.

if you are in the United States, many pharmacies have a list of medications that are pretty inexpensive (either $4 a month or $11.99 for 3 months, depending on the pharmacy). I encourage you to visit walmart, CVS, Walgreens, and other local pharmacies to see what they can offer. then take that list of medication to your doctor and ask them to prescribe one of them.

Getting on any medication will help you and is the first step to getting away from abusing other drugs, whether it is DXM or marijuana. since depression is causing all of your other impulses, get rid of the depression

I'm praying for you

I used DXM every day for about 5 years in a row at one point. I totally understand what you're saying about its antidepressant effects. It is a powerful SSRI like many prescription antidepressants, and it also is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor like Wellbutrin. The main reason why it is NOT good as an antidepressant is the fact that it also causes NMDA blockcade, just like the drugs PCP and Ketamine. Chronic use of an NMDA blocker cause severe delusions of grandeur as well as intermittant psychosis.

For me, DXM was my favorite drug, although I also used many other psychedelics too. I started taking psychedelics at age 13 because I wanted to see God. I'm now 37, and have finally realized that God is not found through chemical means. I've been clean for 8 months.

DXM produces in me a profound euphoria and sense of oneness with God, along with many paranormal experiences. These "spiritual" feelings and experiences are not genuine, but are delusions that the Devil puts in your head while your psychic guard is down on the drug. It does affect everyone differently, though, as this excerpt from the DXM FAQ states

"There is a definite DXM euphoria, but not everyone experiences it. Some in fact find DXM so profoundly disturbing that they never repeat the experience. A very few seem to find such incredible meaning and profundity to the DXM experience that it becomes psychologically addictive. The Tussin Euphoria is totally unlike the euphoria from "body drugs" such as cocaine or heroin, and equally unlike the euphoria from MDMA (ecstasy). Instead, it is a sensation of being totally at peace with onesself, the universe, and other people. Ordinary cares and concerns seem to vanish as one enters a world where anything is possible, and the body becomes increasingly irrelevant. "Meat pleasures" such as food and sex are no longer relevant."

Effexor XR is an extremely effective antidepressant (probably the only one that actually works) because it is a phenylethylamine derivative like Ecstasy. It has some similar side effects to Ecstasy, so if you take it, do not get in the habit of abusing it.

If you need some support, or just someone who is very experienced and knowledgeable about drugs to talk to, feel free to ask me. Good luck!

Chin up!

I've seen friends go through pure torment over this, I've went through it myself. It's always the same story. "It's free, I can steal it, it doesn't show up on drug tests." Stealing doesn't make something free my friend and the Lord does not condone stealing either. Trading in one drug for another isn't a good thing, it's called getting cross-addicted. If you can't do it on your own, seek help. Ask God for help, he can and will help if you are 'WILLING'. That's most important, you have to be willing to give all that up. I don't care how good it makes you feel, it doesn't last forever. Come downs are not fun, I am sure you know that. Give it up...

I like effexor a lot, it gives me energy, focus, confidence less anxiety... i take prozac and welbutrin myself though.

It's kind of dangerous to do large amounts DXM while on an SSRI because it can lead to serotonin syndrome which is no fun at all. So you don't want to get put on one and then go back to using with it still in your system. You should probably talk to a doctor and fill him in on everything.

DXM is something i have too much experience in and it is something i highly regret. It is in the same family as pcp and isnt so so far off as far as negative health aspects. ESPECIALLY if your taking coricidin. Whatever you do dont ever ever ever take an amount of that stuff you know you shouldnt because it can be your last time normal again or your last time doing anything period. I dont say this to be over the top but nonethless it is a very powerful drug. Plus i have plenty of past history to back it up. With that being sai dim going to leave off here. If anyone wants to know more about my experience id be glad to share.(warn)

Be Safe !

I abuse DXM as well. I use it to combat my depression and inability to cope with reality. My anti-depressants don't work but DXM works like a charm. I want to quit as well. I don't use it often though. Maybe once a month. Usually when I'm having a really bad week.
