Wow, really? Was she CYP2D6 deficient or was it inhibited by other drugs? Of course there are tons of other reasons as to why she caught a buzz on only a sip. I don't doubt at all what you say by any means. How I would hate being in that percentile of people. I'm curious if people who are enzyme deficient can actually enjoy dxm and to what extent. Modification of dose? Possible? All our bodies are different so I don't know how easy that is to answer. I've never got to talk to someone in that predicament. Hmm. Just thinking aloud. =/

I don't think she's enzyme deficient; she tried a low dose of DXM once and wasn't overwhelmed or anything, she just didn't like it. Of course she could just be more sensible to DXM, but she wasn't feeling anything more than absent-minded when she accidentally overshot.

I am also fully aware of the possibility that what she felt could have been placebo effect, because she would probably need a pretty big sip to feel anything.

sensible to dxm? I think you meant sensitive lol

That's what happens when I translate straight from French in my head.

Or maybe she really is sensible to DXM. "Oh, are you all right DXM? Do you want to talk about it?"
