    Are any of these ingredients mind-altering because they sure as hell feel like it:
    Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride
    Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide
    Doxylamine Succinate
    Antihistamine
    ?

    I'm pretty well versed in being messed up so I don't think I'm imagining it, these Dimetapp cold, cough and flu fast acting liquid caps really are warping my brain.
    Its like weak yet long lasting lsd or something, I'm not visually hallucinating or anything like that but time is all screwed up and I'll just find myself focussing on one thing for ages without thinking. Its wierd. They aren't even prescription.
    I'm not joking about this, I know when I'm wrecked and I'm wrecked.

    Because you are not supposed to drink the whole bottle and now you are Robotrippin on DXM while tweaking on the ephedrine....


    This is what erowid says:

    3.3 What Kinds of Cough Medicine are Safe for abuse ?

    Basically, anything containing ONLY dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXM HBr). Popular US brands include Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough (and generic equivalents), Drixoral Cough Liquid Caps (the red kind), and generic equivalents.

    3.4 What Happens if I Drink the Wrong Cough Syrup?

    If it has gauifenesin (Robitussin DM and generic "DM" syrups have this drug), you'll probably puke your guts up. If it has acetaminophen (paracetamol), you stand a good chance of a painful, prolonged death. Anything else, you're likely to ruin the trip and may end up in the hospital.

    Basically you dont want ephdrine or the other substances in it and take a good 500 mg DXM to get a nice effect

    I've found medicines for coughs, cold & flu usually make you worse or prolong it.
