1.10 ist dxm gefährlich?

ja, insbesonders dann, wenn man zuviel nimmt, einige der gefahren, die man kennen sollte sind:

* übelkeit, magenverstimmungen, erbrechen und allergische reaktionen (oft vom hustensaft alleine verursacht)
* hitzewallungen, schwindel, panikatacken / horrortrips
* psychotische aussetzer (besonders bei hohen dosen)
* psychische abhängigkeit und depressionen (normalerweise nur bei häufigem gebrauch)
* unheilbare gehirnschäden (bei chronischem gebrauch in hohen dosen)

das letzte - die hirnschäden - sind sehr selten und sind bei weniger als 1% der leute, die william white befragt hatte aufgetreten (und william hat mehrere hundert leute befragt). wenn man dxm zweimal pro monat (oder noch weniger) benutzt, so ist man relativ sicher; man sollte sich aber eingestehen, daß während dem trip immernoch etwas schief gehen kann.

6.2.4 Depression
Category: Very Rare (more frequent with regular use)

One person reported a long-lasting depression and paranoia after a single episode of DXM use. This individual was age 15 at the time; I suspect that young teens may be more susceptible to depression and other mental illnesses from DXM use than adults


6.2.5 Serious Hyperthermia (High Temperature)
Category: Very Rare (more frequent with other dissociatives)

One user reported a case of hyperthermia (increased body temperature) which could have been dangerous, with a rise in body temperature to 103 F (38 C). The individual in question also had a cold at the time, so part of this might have been a result of existing illness.

In the case of serious hyperthermia there is an immediate need to lower body temperature. Sponge baths with cool water and drinking cold liquids are the safest way, although a few physicians have recommended ice-water baths for severe cases. ALWAYS have someone sober to make sure the person doesn't go into shock and drown. Whenever body temperature nears 105 F (40 C) you should get medical attention. Temperatures at or above 107 F (41 C) will probably cause permanent brain damage.

There is a condition that occurs sometimes with volatile anaesthetics called Malignant Hyperthermia, which is often fatal and seems to involve genetic susceptibility. Malignant Hyperthermia can raise temperature to 112 F (44 C) and is obviously a different sort of threat than the one or two degree temperature rise from dissociatives. I have never heard of it occurring with any dissociative (anaesthetic use or not).


6.2.6 Serious Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Category: Very Rare (DXM plus stimulants)

I have heard of only one serious case of hypertension, when DXM was used in combination with pseudoephedrine. DXM itself typically raises blood pressure slightly (although a few people experience a drop in blood pressure). This is probably due to sympathetic activation from DXM's dopamine reuptake inhibiton and from downstream effects of NMDA blockade.

Take care combining DXM with stimulants or physical exertion. There is always a chance of hypertensive crisis and hemorrhage, and it's not always easy to predict. If in doubt consult a physician, since drugs which lower blood pressure aren't commonly available, and must be used with considerable care. Avoid DXM if you have an existing high blood pressure condition.

6.3.7 Memory Impairment
Category: Temporary Mental Impairment

DXM inhibits memory. If you use it regularly, your memory will be impaired. No big secret here; if you smoke weed all the time you probably won't have much of an attention span either. Still, don't forget that it can take awhile (up to a month or so) for memory to come back to normal after discontinuing DXM. And since DXM inhibits encoding of memories, keep in mind that you may not have coherent memories from times when you used DXM, even for days after the experience. This is nothing new to alcoholics, of course, but it isn't exactly fun in either case, and years from now you may find yourself regretting not having remembered the times when you regularly used DXM.

Rauch dazu einfach ein paar Joints, das senkt den Augeninnendruck und den Blutdruck... ;)
