In reply to dextrophan vs. dextromethorphan CAM, posted by JohnX2 on November 4, 2001, at 23:36:24
This thread reminded me of something I'd been meaning to ask about.
I've taken dextromethorphan three times. One of these times, I wasn't taking any other psychoactive meds; one, I was taking Klonopin 1mg tid; and a few days ago, I took it with my current cocktail (desipramine 200mg, buprenorphine 0.9mg, and Trileptal 300mg per day, and Xanax 2mg prn). All three times I took 30mg of dextromethorphan (two times it was in the form of Coricidin HBP, a tablet which also contains 4mg of chlorpheniramine; the other time it was Robitussin Maximum Strength, with no other active ingredients except DXM).
All three times, I got seriously f---ed up a few hours after taking the cough medicine, but I still had a cough! The intoxication lasted for about 36 hours. I've also recently discovered that I appear not to be metabolizing the desipramine properly, in case this is relevant. Any idea what's up? And how I can get rid of my cough??? (Buprenorphine doesn't seem to help either.)
