Evaporate cough syrup to make concentrated solutio

[bigfootlives]

Just as the title says, does anyone have any knowhow of how to evaporate or boil the liquid in cough syrup to make a more concentrated solution that so it's actually tolerable to drink a monstrous dose and hit like the 5th plateau. I remember the days of thinking im some sort of tough guy and trying to down two bottle at once and then 20 minutes later losing my dinner and then some in my sink because of the intense nauseua caused by all that nasty shit in my stomach. I was thinking of possibly boiling but then again I think I remember reading somewhere that DXM breaks down at a low temperature. What about just leaving the bottle open for a few days and hope it evaporates? Please boys help me out!

BTW I am no chemist soo I dont't want to necessarily "Extract" the DXM, I just want to lessen the volume of that nasty ass solution they call a syrup.

Why hello there!

I might even have an easier way. In some countries, at least in Scandinavia, DXM is available in pills as well as syrups. I'd suggest travelling to said countries, and shop till you, really, drop, or find an internet source in those places!

[resorcinol]

They have gel capsules of dextromethorphan in the U.S. too.

Robitussin gel caps (or generic equivalent) are 15 mg DXM HBr per cap. Dexalone capsules are 30 mg per gelcap, but they're much rarer and you're seriously unlikely to run into them.

Go with the generic version of robitussin gelcaps for the best bang for your buck, and no nasty syrup drinking.

I've done the chug two bottles (the smaller ones) of Robitussin too. Just makes me heave thinking about it. It has a nasty, cold, methol-like, minty taste. I can't describe it any other way. That stuff is just gross. I have no idea why I did it so much when I was younger. I guess because I was bored and just desperate for some kind of high.

Anyway, yeah, I'd go for the Robitusin pills. I know Target makes a generic version of those. They're a lot cheaper than the brand-name, and they're just the same thing: little red gel pills. No taste and not as much nausea as the syrup.

I have no idea if you'd be able to evaporate or concentrate cough syrup without making it taste even worse or without damaging the active ingredient (the DXM). So, can't help you on that.

I will say that if you're doing this because you simply have a cough, and want to get rid of it (although I'm kind of assuming that you're just trying to get high on DXM), go to a doctor. It's not that difficult to get a cough syrup with at least a little bit of hydrocodone in it. Much, much better than cough syrups with DXM in it. Hell, I'd take a cough syrup with codeine in it over DXM. I really can't stand that stuff anymore.

[Opiyum]

Yeah I chugged two bottles once. Like most people there wasn't a second time. I only tried the stuff one more time and that time I just took the gel caps.
Remember the episode of Intervention with the dude from pittsburgh walking around popping those gel caps laughing at the garbage men?
No that isn't me but I figured I'd mention it as proof to you that they do make gel caps.
It's a much better route.

I've popped a ton of Robitussin 15mg gelcaps before and all they did is make me almost just as sick feeling as drinking the syrup. I could taste like the nasty gel flavouring of the coating shit. Hmm maybe if I pin pricked each of the gels and leeked the liquid into a dish then that would solve everything.

There is another option.

It's called zycam cough spray maximum strength. It's an extremely concentrated solution of DXM HBr meant to be dosed by spraying one to three squirts into the back of your mouth. The whole bottle contains almost 500 mg DXM HBr if my memory serves me correctly, and the volume of liquid is about the same as a half a shot of hard liquor. It tastes terrible, but a shot of liquor worth of liquid contains almost 1 gram of DXM.

Maybe consider that option. Just make sure you buy zicam max cough relief (regular zicam cough relief is only like 300 mg per half shot glass volume of liquid) and that you don't get any of the zicams with pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine (decongestants), or zinc, or any other ingredient besides DXM HBr. You can find these at most stores, and definitely drugstores.

Delsym is another option of you don't mind extended release. It's DXM Polistirex... the same extended release technology used in Tussionex Pennkinetic syrup for hydrocodone / chlorpheniramine. The high will be long and drawn out though, and you pretty much can't get above the third plateau with this time released syrup. Trying to do so will just make you get really spaced out in a bad way... plateau sigma I guess they call it. The benefit of this syrup if you're OK with timed release and not going above the third plateau is that it tastes... delicious actually, especially the orange flavored version. You could even mix it with a drink it tastes so pleasant. Don't expect to break the time release though -- it's not gonna happen. Leaving the syrup in a warm, acidic, aqueous (water) solution MAY break some of the time release though... kinda like people try with Opana's TIMERx. But the taste would be nasty, defeating the purpose of this syrup in the first place.

Ahaha those nasty little pinks pills. I remember eating close to 30 of those fucking things. The taste in the back of my throat EWWWW!!! Not to mention the high from diphenhydrinate makes you feel as gross as it is :(

Haha It's funny tho, I've found that some of my funnest high ever were on DXM. It's even more powerful than most street drugs if taken in a high enough doses. Even more than it's fellow dissasociative brothern ketamine.

My god man! 1000mg in one magnificent shot!! Id love to bust that shit out and floor all my buddies. They'd be like Dave once again you've floored everyone in the room with a new easier way to get high.

[Indy]

I hate DXM too, but it is very much a "real" drug, and can do crazy shit to you. I don't know if you realize this, but drugs do not get you fucked up because uncle sam makes that way so he can ban them:p. Seriously though, hawaiian baby woodrose is LSA and that shit is like LSD but milder and less enjoyable. And Datura, don't get me started on that, people hallucinate and shit for DAYS on that plant. Of course it's NOT a good high at all, so in that case you would definitely want to get some "real" drugs.

The fact of the matter is, DXM is it's own chemical, and it provides a unique experience, that most people don't like, some do, but everyone who really tries it can agree that it's powerful. And for those who like DXM, well, nothing else is exactly like DXM, so why change? I mean other than the fact that a ton of drugs are more enjoyable than DXM:rolleyes:....honestly i don't really understand how people can enjoy DXM either, but it's certainly not just "junior high shit"

[poonwhalla]

"junior high shit"

maybe that is where they are stuck and cocaine and heroin was what made them feel like they were adults. Just a speculation. I thought today should I go to the cvs and get a pouch of tobacco and some dxm gels or go to the cvs and get 2 dollas of tobacco and then the liqueur store and get a 12 pack well the 12 makes me feel better then the dxm but enough about me let the shit continue to be thrown around you fucking monkies :D:p

[sopark4000]

I never could understand why people drink the syrup when usually right next to it on the shelf are the gel caps that you can just swallow but back to the topic at hand if you're really that dedicated to it you could try and search a couple of online chemical supply houses and search for DXM SWIM used to use a sight that sold USP Reagent grade powder DXM and SWIM used to buy empty gelatin capsules and sell 500 mg's for 5-10 dollars each depending on who it was SWIM made some decent bank off of those but some sights will try and rape you on the price per gram of the DXM. As far as making syrup into a more concentrated solution you could probably try and leave it on a heater open to air but that will most likely result in a very minimal difference or a syrup that is even thicker and gross that will take even longer to get down just get the gelcaps

[bigfootlives]

Yeah I've searched all the sites for pure DXM powder and all the ones I found pretty much only ship to the States! What a pain the the ass. I also now really want to get that Zycam shit, but I only found it on amazon.com and not amazon.ca :mad:. So I'm not to sure if they'll ship to Canada either.

cocaine and heroin are actually fun
while walgreens drugs just made me nauseous and spaced out
that was the difference for me

[InfectedMushroom]

DXM can be "interesting" to say the least. I have only done it a handful of times and it's different, is all i can say. I had fun though, but I'd take opies over the stuff any day.

As far as the nausea is concerned, I don't think its the DXM but rather the Guaifensin that's in some of it also. Large does of it can make some people sick.

It's certainly a real drug, some people like it and others don't, but it can be a fun experience for some people,

[resorcinol]

I'm one of the freaks out there who did enjoy the DXM experience, both the low doses (which is a completely unique experience that I don't think any other well known drug is remotely similar to) and high doses, which is really a typical dissociative high. I mean, I've never tried K, but whenever somebody describes a "K-hole" it reminds me of how third plateau DXM doses felt. I think a lot of K heads who don't like DXM don't like it because 1)long half life ... which means there's more of a hangover. K's shorter half life leads to the user bouncing back to reality quicker .. and 2)The other pharmocodynamic actions of DXM alter the nature of the high a little bit (monoamine reuptake inhibition and sigma agonist) and 3) K is a mu agonist in high doses, so it may be more euphoric than DXM and PCP are at dissociative doses.

However, DXM loses the magic somewhat quickly. I guess that term was originally used for MDMA (a drug I have not yet tried) but it can totally be applied to DXM. I no longer enjoy DXM ... I don't hate it, but it's lost the magic to the extent that I have zero desire to take it, even when I'm bored, and I originally loved it. I remember the way it made music sound the first time I dosed 500 mg..... it's indescribable, but that stops happening if you abuse it.

[God_Albino]

it's got a lot more facets and potential than one dimensional 'real' drugs, however unglamorous drinking cough syrup is.

zicam max cough and delsym are also good-tasting alternatives. 4th plateau/sigma doses dont have the pleasant buzz of lower doses, and it alters your sober reality a good while after.
