Dextromethorphan (“DMX”)
Common OTC cough suppressant Odd pharmacology:– d-isomer of opioid levorphanol– antitussive but not analgesic– antagonizes NMDA receptors– inhibits serotonin reuptake
Popular drug of abuse in teens– OTC cough syrups, Coricidin™

What's the DXM Trip Like? “Well, that depends on how much you take. There are four different kinds of experiences, based on the dosage; these are called plateaus. The first plateau is a mild stimulant effect with a little bit of a buzz... The second plateau is more intoxicating and has been compared to being drunk and stoned at the same time. The third plateau is dissociative, like a lower dose of ketamine. The fourth plateau is fully dissociative like a higher dose of ketamine.”

Gut decontamination
Current consensus:– Gut emptying of limited value– AC alone probably fine in most patients
Some twists:– SI still useful at home w/in 5-10 min?– Lavage for selected cases?– Role of Whole Bowel Irrigation?–What about home AC?
