Erowid's dosage documentation for oral dextromethorphan hydrobromide<ref | |||
name="erowid-dxm-dose">Erowid. DXM Dosage. Erowid.org. | |||
https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/dxm_dose.shtml. | |||
Accessed 2026-05-26.</ref> reports the following tiers: | |||
* '''Light:''' 100-200 mg | |||
* '''Common:''' 200-400 mg | |||
* '''Strong:''' 300-600 mg | |||
* '''Heavy:''' 600-1,500 mg | |||
Threshold not characterized. Duration 4 to 8 hours for standard HBr | |||
formulations; 6 to 12 hours for extended-release polistirex | |||
formulations. Erowid notes that doses are affected significantly by | |||
body weight and recommends conservative starting amounts. A critical | |||
harm note: many OTC formulations containing DXM also include | |||
acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM), guaifenesin, or other | |||
active ingredients that become dangerous at the doses required for | |||
psychoactive DXM effects; use of single-ingredient preparations is | |||
essential for harm reduction. | |||
