This non-tussive development in the continuing dxm saga fascinates me:

Quote:

Zenvia is a combination of two drugs, dextromethorphan and quinidine. Dextromethorphan is also a common ingredient in cough and cold medicines because it can suppress coughing. Avanir is also testing Zenvia as a treatment for peripheral diabetic nerve pain.

The company said the drug was safe, and three patients left the 12-week study because of side effects. All of those patients were in the lower dose group. The most common side effects were dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, tiredness and colds.

I want a prescription for this horrible smokers cough I have... 500mg DXM Capsules paid by my insurance should do the trick DR.

You'll have to exhibit pseudobulbar effect to get this prescription ... hacking your lungs out won't do it.

Guess what Anavair? FAIL! They should look into higher dose DXM only preparations. I believe these could yield great psychotheraputic results if used properly. Especially in the first plateau and in the afterglow. The heavier dissociation may be positive as well providing a well educated trip guide.

Funny they combined DXM with a 2D6 inhibitor in this pill.
