Have any of you heard of people drinking a bottle of Robitussin DM to relax, I know it sounds stupid?

I just want to know if you've ever heard of it?

Update:

It's also called robotripping.

Update 2:

Yeah thee kind with Tylenol is poison. And if you don't know how to handle it then it can freak you out.

Update 3:

No, it's alcohol free.

    That doesn't sound stupid, I've totally heard of it, I've done it, it's quite a good time. It's less relaxing than trippy. Email me if you want further details. Personally I prefer the pills to the drink, you can get it at most rite-aids, it's Coricidin (purple variety only), good stuff.

    all the details: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq/

    that's a good point, Thestril, most people don't understand that only one variety of Robitussin works. Just the regular, straight Robitussin DM or the Coricidin purple variety only, those are the only two that work. Otherwise they add extra medications that will poison you at the doses you're going to want to take.

    Yes.

    My ER nurse friend says he sees people here come in with poisoning from robotripping fairly often.

    some people take tylenol pm to sleep at night. although im an advit supporter and promoter for "melatonin" because its naturally in your body. robitussin and tylenol are not.

    try having a glass of red wine at night, or get some melatonin, its seriously like 3$ for a bottle at a walgreens, rite-aid, or other grocery store, just get a 1mg pill bottle of it and try one, see how relaxed it gets you. wont put you to sleep but makes you feel a little looser. but not groggy.

    Yes, abusing dextromethorphan has become quite popular. I've taken care of quite a few people who have made themselves quite ill. I don't understand the appeal, but then the people I see are definately NOT having a good time.
