    I ended up with serotonin syndrome from a single normal dose of this stuff. Thankfully it was mild enough to where I didn’t have any seizures or a fever (just the tachycardia, muscle spasms and minor auditory hallucinations), but apparently my parents never even let me have it for colds when I was young because my whole family has weird reactions to it. Of course another medication I was on at the time significantly lowered the threshold for serotonin syndrome, which has happened to me before, so probably not likely to happen to most people.

    Serotonin Syndrome is horrible. I mixed DXM with 5HTP and had a 3 day stay in ICU. I had a friend call me an Uber to the ER at 3am, and the last thing I remember before blacking out was me banging on the door of the room they put me in shouting I needed help immediately because I was dying. I knew it was serotonin syndrome but for some foolish reason it didn't cross my mind about that risk before I took the pills. I have No memory of anything else other than waking up at some point surrounded by my parents. I left the hospital with a bag of my pants which I had pissed in, and psychomotor retardation for 3 weeks. I couldn't form sentences but I could think them so my speech was so delayed and broken I would get panic attacks because that's a very overwhelming thing. Luckily I've made a "full" recovery from that instance, though I can say I am not the same person mentally anymore.

      I used to do DXM but only the pills with only that in it. I ended up taking the liquid form with alchol once and had a psychotic episode because I had gotten off my Anti-depressant barely 2 weeks before. It was the scariest shit I have ever been through. Decided to quit after that.

    I did DXM for years, even had a friend that has a doctorate in chemistry help me do an extraction of it from syrup. That was an insane experience!
    I have moved on from that chapter in my life. Though I have heard that DXM abuse can lead to a form of brain lesions, but so far I haven't had any long-term damage (that I have noticed) but I would never recommend that others do it. With things like drugs, all it takes is one bad reaction and you will ruin or end your life. If you are going to do DXM, never get the brands with acetaminophen, and don't you dare drive a car or be around children.

    So I paused your video to say I've "dosed" ( a term I used while using DXM) probably over a hundred times. From the the years of 2014 to the end of 2019 I would dose out on pure DXM geltabs you can find at the dollar tree. It wasn't everyday use, but I would binge at times. Then just stop. Anyway, the things I had experienced mentally were terrifying. I still dissociate, I get mentally taken away from reality and my memory is absolutely terrible, on top of this DXM started as a "legal psychedelic" for me. And quickly became a way to numb and hide away from the world. I'm almost 3 years clean from it.

    7 years ago I took two bottles of dxm syrup while on an MAOI (and doubling my dose of it for a week) as an "attempt". I figured I'd have a wild night before getting seratonin syndrome and leaving this earth. I took it on friday, and was completely ruined until monday, when I had to drive (awful idea with how messed up I was) to my therapist appointment. I made it without crashing somehow, where she noticed the shape I was in and called an ambulance to get me to the hospital. I'm currently the happiest I've ever been and can't wait to see the future that I almost lost. If you're going through something, I assure you that you do have the strength to get through it. There's a happy life waiting for you if you can keep going. You've fought hard, just fight a bit longer.

    • @SeeroBoarder
      @SeeroBoarder 3 месяца назад +1

      I was on an MAOI (Parnate) from August 2023 until I was hospitalized for Serotonin Syndrome on January 21st 2024, where I was sedated for 6 days with propofol and very high doses of Versed, intubated, and kept in critical care for 5 additional days after I was taken off sedation. I was on 50mg of Parnate a day, and I made the mistake of taking serotonergic supplements along with it, the primary one being SAM-E. When I was sleeping, my mother noticed my legs and feet shaking with seizure activity (clonus), so she woke me up, and drove me to the emergency room, where my memory stopped right after being taken back for intake. This is when I had a mental status change, where I became very confused, physically agitated, sweating profusely, and developed a fever, with very high blood pressure and heart rate. So they started to sedate me and run a ton of blood tests. During my time in critical care, after I was taken off sedation, my doctor said my case of SS was the worst case of serotonin syndrome he had ever witnessed. Thankfully he recognized my symptoms as serotonin syndrome right away, and in addition to the sedation, put me on Cyproheptadine, an antihistamine that is antiserotonergic at high doses. I was on the maximum dose of cyproheptadine, 32 mg/day, for about 5 days straight. I think the fact that most sources say that SS should be resolved in 24 to 48 hours is also a testament to how severe my case was.
      They made it clear that I am very lucky to be alive. And for the first time in many years, I feel truly happy and thankful to be alive. This was not intentional and I was not suicidal at the time, but I was certainly still depressed. Had my mother not been there and taken me to the ER at the exact time that she did, things would have been much worse. I can not imagine going out that way, it's truly one of the most horrific ways to die. I am very happy that you are okay and are doing better as well. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me a chance to share mine. It's only been about two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital, and I am still recovering with brain fog and low energy (I assume mostly from the withdrawal of the abrupt cessation of Parnate). Thankfully there seems to be no permanent damage to my neurology, psyche, or organs. It's an experience I will never forget, and I feel has forever positively changed me. I remember shortly after being taken off sedation and fully realizing what had happened, I burst into tears, profusely thanked the nurse for saving my life, hugged her, and said that I loved her and everyone else who saved my life. Sometimes it takes something as severe as an extremely close brush with death to make you appreciate being alive.

    decided to watch this as I just experienced cough syrup poisoning. it was not on purpose for the record. I want to understand what happened inside me when this was going on. long story short I took 8 times the prescribed amount. that is less than half a bottle. I was incapacitated for 9 hours. I couldn't move, kept blacking out, my vision was swimming, I couldn't register objects, like as if I were a dog seeing a computer- knowing its there but not really KNOWING what it is. I still have a headache. I did not go to the hospital as it was not a fatal amount (this is normally characterized by prolonged unconsciousness, blue lips or fingertips, excessive vomiting, so on and so forth.) , I just had to let it pass through my system. Obviously I lived. but I have a feeling that had I taken more, I could have easily died. please treat cough syrup with caution. it may be OTC but it is dangerous. it is not a toy, take it very seriously.

    I think it's important to educate people about cough syrup & how most hospitalizations occur when taking DXM meds with other active ingredients. DXM in large doses will make you hallucinate & is generally pretty safe, but other ingredients aren't meant to be taken at large doses & can be fatal
