240 mg of dxm?

Question

I plan on taking 8 coricidin pills and i weigh about 250 pounds, i kno dxm is not the only active ingredient i know that there is chlorpheniramine maleate in it. but will these 8 coricidins get me high or should i take more?

Answer 1

It's plenty for a casual buzz (less than 2.5mg/kg), but if you're looking for something deeper and more interesting you should take 2-4 times that amount.  Note that while CPM is pretty gentle for most people, it's nasty stuff at high doses.  I can't speak to the safety of 32mg of CPM other than to say that plenty of people have done it and I'm not aware of any fatalities, but I will say that products containing only DXM like Robitussin DM are available and they're the way to go.
