Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Overdose
Good evening. I apologize ahead of time for this post, because i dont know of any sites
to go to for my question, or if im posting in the proper forum.
Anyways, let me introduce myself.
My name is Billy, the real name is Brandon, but i have gone
by Billy since my freshman year of high school.
I am 16 currently, turning 17 on February 9th of 2009. I am a junior
in high school.
I guess that will do for now, id like to leave other information anonymous.
Anything else i would deem a bit superfluous to my question anyways.
I have been experimenting with drugs of all sorts since the a little before
Summer of 2008. Nothing extreme. First marijuana, got addicted to cigarettes,
drank occasionally, took an adderall or other small-time prescription drug occasionally.
However, nothing ever too serious.
I didnt like any of it though.
I wanted something that would take me beyond the edges of
the human mind. Basically, i wanted to trip.
To make a long story short, i found myself with what i was looking
for at my finger tips. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, or Dxm HBr.
Commonly found in cough and chest congestion medicines.
In high doses, it produces a euphoric effect and is very hallucinogenic.
I was using the taboo product to get this, though.
Coricidin Cough and Cold.
There is an antihistimine in Coricidin that is very lethal in high
doses, and i believe it is what causes users to stop breathing
and experience many other discomforting side effects.
I never saw any of them though, fortunately.
I began to dxm trip, or "robo-trip" weekly. 1-3 times a weekend,
and rarely ever during the week (as to not interfere with school work).
I began taking 16 coricidin cough and cold pills.
They are little red candy coated pills.
Easy to take, and quickly effective.
16 coricidin = 480 mg of dxm hbr.
I became very stoned, would hallucinate in very extreme ways,
and found it to be a great way of having some fun with my weekends.
Never had any bad experiences, i guess because im not the type
to get freaked out by what most people cant handle.
If anything, it was only more of a rush.
I could control myself a bit.
However, one day i went to the store and there was no
Coricidin, so i tried something my friends had tried.
Maximum Strength Mucinex DM.
I grabbed one bottle, containing 28 tablets.
Each tablet contained 60 mg of dxm hbr, and 1200 mg guaifenesin (sp?).
The most any of my friends had taken was 12.
I knew it to be a safer alternative to Coricidin for robo-tripping,
and figured id be fine.
I was told it wasnt as hallucinogenic, so my ******* thought to up
the dosage a bit.
I began by taking 10 mucinex last saturday, at about 8:30 pm.
That put me at 600 mg of dxm hbr.
Within a half hour, i felt slightly buzzed but nowhere near where
i thought i should be for 30 minutes to pass.
So, stupidly, i took another 6 mucinex at 9:00 pm.
That puts me at 960 mg of dxm hbr.
Pretty high.
Things fade in and out, becoming extremely fuzzy,
for the next few hours.
So according to my sisters friend, who was over at the time,
i took the last 12 out of stupidity at about 3 or 4 am.
I thought i was sobering up quickly, when i was only getting higher.
So i took the last 12.
A whole 28 maximum strength mucinex dm.
The entire bottle.
That 28 mucinex = 1680 mg of dxm hbr.
1200 mg over my typical dosage.
A bit much to handle.
I black out and am unsure of whether or not i fell asleep,
but i believe i did for some period of time since i came to
very high at about 7:00 am on Sunday.
My parents were getting ready for church (they had to be there early for some reason)
I strolled around my room, found the door, got down the stairs and walked
around. I was looking for the bathroom and was SO lucky my parents were all
elsewhere in the house, never seeing me.
I think i was humming and was obviously quite delusional.
Completely out of my right mind.
I eventually took a **** in the bathroom and wound up in my room
once more.
I took my clothes off, down to my underwear, and hit the sack once more.
I thought "Maybe ill sober up when i wake up" which was completely normal
for me whenever i took Coricidin.
I would be sober after just an hour nap.
It was different this time, though.
I awoke at about 1:00 pm, with my sister and her friend
at my bedside asking me if i wanted to go outside for a cigarette.
It took me a couple minutes to realize this, then i hopped up
excitedly and we all continued outside.
I sat down and began to realize how high i still was.
It was very unusual, but being typical me, i decided not
to sweat it and just enjoy myself.
I went inside and called my friend.
She was humored by my stupidity to take so many
Mucinex, but was worried all the same.
Especially since i was freaking out, hearing her say
and form noises over the phone that she had never
actually done.
I knew she wasnt lying because there is a certain
eerie trance i enter whenever i hallucinate things
like that.
So we both laughed it off and i proceeded back downstairs,
having gotten off the phone.
I was in and out of my "right" mind until approximately 4:00 pm.
I believe this is because the mucinex are extended release pills,
taking 12 hours to be released.
This made sense since i took my last 12 pills around 3 or 4 am.
Soon after 4:00pm, my stomach began to ache like crazy.
I figured i was hungry.
So i proceeded to eat a sandwich and an apple.
I thought maybe it would absorb the pills and make me feel better.
Nothing happened.
My stomach was now stinging intensely, but it was different
than your typical "tummy-ache".
I thought it might be my stomach bleeding.
Unsure of what it was, i decided to take a nap and
see if i felt better.
I woke up late Sunday in extreme pain, completely unable
to focus on any rational thought for long.
I went to school today and just dazed around for a while,
asking my friends for advice.
I couldnt focus for most of the day, but was able to hold conversations
with my friends. I mostly didnt want to worry anyone.
I came home at 2:45 pm. At this time, my stomach pains came every other
second, but much more intensely.
It felt like i was being stabbed.
The pain occasionally subsides if i sit still, but i have no idea
if its my liver or what, trying to digest all those huge pills.
I was on the phone with the same friend i was on the phone with
Sunday afternoon.
I once again was hearing voices and even scarier sounds.
However, this time, i was totally unaware of what was real
and what wasnt. I began "oinking" at her, in retaliation to what
i thought was her oinking at me.
She wasnt oinking, and i still laugh about how stupid i must
have sounded, even though its a scary thing.
What was more horrifying was me hearing her mumble words
to some deathly song, and at a later point, i heard an extremely
loud and deep breathing, unfamiliar to her voice. I had to pull the phone
all the way from my ear. It was something straight out of a horror movie.
I was freaked but entirely amused nonetheless. I dont have a deathwish,
but to be able to take a front row seat to my own demise and watch me dive
into insanity is something most people dont realize they could never
quite understand first hand and talk about it.
I know, sounds stupid, but i guess i appreciate some weird things.
Anyways, i really just would like to know what is going on right now.
Both mentally and physically.
Any ideas as to what is causing my pain, what the status of my brain is, etc.?
Heh, i know the answers wont be pleasant.
However, i think as long as the pills are digesting, ill be experiencing hallucinogenic
effects on and off for a little while.
A couple last notes: Im 5'8" approximately, 185 lbs, and, i havent crapped since Saturday.
I do apologize for such a long post =/
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Thank you.

Swpb97~sweetheart, I just got done reading your story. I actually was on here trying to get back into the conversation about chantix withdrawal symptoms and opioid withdrawal symptoms, I am a mother of 4,and 45yrs old, 2 accidents and I have been on these things since 2009. I used to be a great housewife lol but my abusive husband was sent away, so I became a Certified Master Logger and owned my own company since 2007! Look, I completely understand that experimental stage...I have a son your age, and I have beer ponged with him n his friends and all that crap....done the been there n done it stage, tripped in school, pot, mescaline, whatever. My God!! Cough medicines!!? Hunny, I just wanted to say that there is no price high enough to replace your life. I just couldn't imagine, to look at the eyes of a person, or most importantly, your parents, or your family and friends and relatives and say to yourself that these people would be better without you? If you could look in their eyes, imagine how they would honestly feel to not have you there to see when they open that door, on a holiday, or your birthday, or whenever...it would be a selfish high to only think about chasing that feeling of euphoria....only that being traded for those moments of feelings....in exchange for your family and friends and loved ones? Do you honestly believe that those are even trades? I don't ever think I could ever be right, in life or in my own mind!!! If I ever lost my child for ANY REASON!!! AND ESPECIALLY FOR A SIMPLE HIGH. God bless you and I hope you think before you go do that again. Xoxo
your trips are diffrent from mine, but i do understand completly getting enjoyment out of the dipping deeper into the human mind the part i refer to as insanity

Please don't do that anymore.
take it from a ex-heroin addict (going on four years sober)
DXM is nothing to screw around with, as i too experimented with it at about your age, mind you i started my experimentation at 14 years old. I am now 26 and didnt quit using till i was almost 23.
I guess the point im trying to make is that it DXM is EXTREAMLY caustic. I ended up overdosing (was found face down by my mom, TRY CONSOLING YOUR PARENTS FROM A HOSPITAL BED THAT YOU ARNT A DRUG ADDICT AND YOUR JUST "EXPERIMENTING") and spending 2 weeks in a psych ward. not fun..... keep this in mind if you must experiment with drugs do your research. dont stupidly start taking pills. better yet DONT TAKE ANY! stop being selfish, your not goning to find anything in experimenting with drugs. it wont make you "enlightened" or give you anything positive. drugs only take. and if you do end up getting serriously hooked on something.. good luck brother

I started abusing Mucinex Dm four years ago, i now for the past two and half years, used on a daily basis. I dont use the maxium strength just the reg Mucinex Dm. I am very addicted, have spent time and rehab and still use to this day, not daily anymore but one to two times weekly. this drug has taken over my life just the same as meth. i don't hallucinate.. It is like meth in a pill to my body. i can easily take over 150 tablets daily. i'm 5 foot 95lbs.. it gives me energy, confidence, i don't eat so my body stays very thin, i can take these and not sleep for up to 4 days at a time. they need to take all the meds containing dextromethorphan out of the otc section and put it behind the counter. I recently overdosed and was pronunced dead, but somehow the doctors brought my heart back. and i still continue to use

I'm amazed at your candidness. I have extremely similar experience. I use it to function... and occasionally over so it like now.
I am not sure why I read this thread........ not normally one I read to be candid, however when I read your post regarding your daughter, oh my gosh, it absolutely broke my heart... I am so sorry I missed this back in November, you are talking about your daughter's life, and as you say for a "high"....... the same questions I had about my girl....... unfortunately your post was lost in the writings, and that is so very sad. I am sorry I didnt see this before, I have sent you a message and hope you get it.... all I can do is pray for you and your family. And hope to God someone else will read your post and realize that chasing that high, truly comes at the ultimate price, their life. Or the the life of one we love the most. Bless your heart, you are in my prayers.
Good for you stopping all drugs.Who needs drugs anyway at your age.next thing to work on is the cigarettes.
I am glad you came to your senses and it sometimes helps to look at old posts to see how far you have come.

I guess my pains only lasted 2 days, haha.
I just read through the rest of my posts here.
I recall it as a week for some reason, and in fact it does
seem like it was a whole week to me now.
Ahhh oh well. Life is just great now, plain and simple :]

I had to laugh because I just found this post by googling ItsxBillyx haha.
In case anybody here cares, the stomach pains I had lasted about a week(ish).
I stopped using cough medicines to get high in March or April of 2009.
I stopped getting high altogether back in June or July? I don't really remember.
I quit on my own accord, and I still to this day sometimes want to get high
but the urge is easily ignored.
Any long-term effects from what I was doing is debatable. I will say there
is something different about me, or so I would say. Dumber is probably
the best word, haha. Wiser at the same time, though. The entire winter of
last year is one big, fuzzy blur to me. I had many great experiences, but I've
moved on from all the drugs and stuff. Still smoking cigarettes, though.
Honestly, life has never been better for me. I've got a great boyfriend
whom I've been with since May :], I'm a senior in high school and 8 days away from being 18, got accepted into the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and I really don't
know that things could be any better than they are for me right now.
In case anybody who comes across this is abusing cough medicine...
At the expense of a few holes in your brain, quitting the robo tripping will
do you wonders. Take it from me! I stole and swallowed every single one
of 'em, but I feel so much better having put it all into the past :]

oops... i just realized this post is a year old... my bad, someone else brought it up.
don't use dxm to get high... It's a dissociative similar in nature to PCP commonly known as angel dust, as well at ketamine used only on horses as a tranquilizer.
This drugs are known to cause permanent damage to the human mind.
You are just destroying yourself and I don't think you realize how stupid what you're doing to yourself is.
You think it's fun to be high? Well how fun do you think it would feel to be high all the time only because your brain is fried?? How fun do you think it would be to live the rest of your life not being able to function because you ****** yourself up.
You're not young and invincible like you think you are, you're young and very vulnerable to consequences you will have to face for the rest of your life.
I made the same mistakes you are making right now, I'm now 25... i experimented with many drugs... after you experiment with a few different kinds you end up wanting to experiment with as many as you can. Then you find the ones you like best.
Just trust me... stop now, goto a ************** program, change your friends, and stop messing around with drugs. I know if I could go back and turn back the hands of time, and make my life different, I would be sober through all my life.

Yeah, addiction is a B****! I'm on my 9th day coming up on my 10th and today hasn't been so good. Had I not burned my bridges, I would have taken some Vics right now. I'm not sure how I'm going to overcome this fear but I've got to find a way somehow. Believe me.....you don't want this! Ya know that saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.....well I should be friggin' the Hulk after this. It's all a mind game and it's really hard because you're fighting brain chemicals. Right now, my mind has virtually no Dopamine to produce because the Vicodin was giving me excess of it. Now my mind has to learn how to make it again....and that takes a while. Anyway, good luck with your life and stay away from this poison!
Thanks sith, i do appreciate the advice because i
know plenty of friends who dont live in a very nice
household, and have family members with all sorts
of crazy addictions. Having gone with some of them
out on their "runs" (not for any personal drugs, just because
i was hanging out with them), ive seen how they become
when something goes wrong or basically when anything
interferes with their drug "needs". And after having seen
those things first hand, i would never want to go down that
path. Thats why im glad i am taking the opportunity now
to stop doing this. I wasnt addicted, but i just would do it
when i was bored and had nothing else to do.
Im not sure on how loosely the term addiction is used,
but i wouldnt consider it an addiction. However, i am almost
positive it could have become one further down the road
if i kept it up, and quickly, too.
I guess i should just be happy that im ok, nothing permanent
has been done, and that things are back on track for me.
Now i just need to work on getting 8 hours of sleep at night
and there will be nothing wrong with me!
Haha jk =]

Billy, I'd consider the pain you were in a giant friggin' warning. Some people are very lucky and are able to quit with years of abuse like myself with no physical damage done. Then there are some who try just once and die. I'm sure I have psychological damage from the 14 1/2 years of Vicodin that I took.
Do the smart thing Billy and stop it all now! If you keep it up, you'll eventually find something that you will become addicted and you'll wish you never experimented when you decide to quit!

Sorry for my absence yesterday.
I was tired and didnt feel good.
However, as the night progressed,
my stomach pains became less frequent,
and today, they have completely disappeared.
Although this is good, i wont be getting my hopes
up unless they have completely subsided
for a couple days.
I think things are back to normal now, though.
My digestive system is working normal,
im not experiencing any hallucinations in my
sober state anymore, etc.
So, things are back to normal.
Thanks for all your help, and ill come back with
another update tomorrow, so long as nothing
else happens between now and then.
If anything does, im going to see about calling
that nurse hotline.
But otherwise, i dont think i have anything else
to worry about =]

Im glad to say you have no worrys. Your stomach is just working out the kinks. Your fine. If youre belly hurts really bad buy some milk magnesia. It makes you sh** your brains out. + if your belly was bleeding, there would be a good amount of blood in your pee. Mucinex damages your kidneys. But first time use, your fine
if you can stop any time you want why did you buy the Mucinex when they were out of the Coricdan? Working in the health carae field for over 30 years I can tell you the stomach issues you are having are not normal and need I repeat need to be seen by a Doctor

I know what you are asking but we dont have the medical background to tell you what type of damage if any you could have. Im not trying to be rude either. I am just concerned for you. That is alot of tablets to consume. I hope this did scare you so you wont take pills anymore. Please if your cramps in your stomach dont go away you need to go in and be seen. There are so many other things you could be doing at your age that is fun. The life of an addict isnt glamorous at all. Keep watching this as many are in bed and will be on later. sara
Well, i am more than aware of this now,
but the reason i came here is to get an
idea of what it is that could be going wrong.
Im sure it could be a number of things,
but a couple of ideas from someone just
so i can sort of grasp what i am up against
would be nice.
I dont mean to be stubborn, but if i dont
need to get medical attention, then id
like to avoid it.
Im not trying to be rude, but ive heard that
a million times over today and its just not
what im looking for. I dont want to be that
stubborn guy who refuses to get help,
but i dont know that i do need it right now.
If i can tough it out, i will.
Im not addicted to these pills because i make
a personal choice to do them and i am
pretty capable of quitting them.
Its just i dont want to have to be put through
rehabilitation for this because i went to a hospital
for medical attention, because this alone is enough
to tell me not to pick those pills up for any sort
of recreational use ever again.
With the pain i am in, id much rather spend my nights
out with friends having a little less dangerous
fun at the movies or something practical, heh.
