Dextromethorphan, sold under the brand name Robitussin among others, is a cough suppressant used in many cough and cold medicines. [6] In 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the combination dextromethorphan/bupropion to serve as a rapid-acting antidepressant in people with major depressive disorder.
Dextromethorphan, or DXM, a common active ingredient found in many over-the-counter cough suppressant cold medicines, is used as a recreational drug and entheogen for its dissociative effects. [1] Street names include Brownies , Dextro , Drix , Gel , Groove , Lean , Mega-perls , Poor man's ecstasy , Poor man's PCP, Red devils , Robo , Rojo ...
Doxylamine is also a potent anticholinergic, meaning that it causes delirum at high doses—i.e., at much higher doses than recommended. [8] (Specifically it is an antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M 1 through M 5.) These sedative and deliriant effects have in some cases led to using the drug recreationally.
Because of these psychotomimetic effects, NMDA receptor antagonists, especially phencyclidine, ketamine, and dextromethorphan, are used as recreational drugs. At subanesthetic doses, these drugs have mild stimulant effects and, at higher doses, begin inducing dissociation and hallucinations, though these effects and the strength thereof vary ...
Cough medicines, especially those containing dextromethorphan and codeine, are often abused as recreational drugs. [ 30 ] [ 31 ] Abuse may result in hallucinations, loss of consciousness and death. Many cough syrups can contain acetaminophen which will cause liver damage in recreational users.
The dose of bupropion in the study was lower than the target dose recommended for clinical practice. [10] In this study, dextromethorphan/bupropion showed significantly greater improvement than bupropion alone in the first two weeks of treatment but not by week 6 of treatment in people with major depressive disorder.
Coricidin, Coricidin 'D' (decongestant), or Coricidin HBP (for high blood pressure), is the name of an over-the-counter cough and cold drug containing dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant) and chlorpheniramine maleate (an antihistamine). [1] Introduced by Schering-Plough in 1949 as one of the first antihistamines, it is now owned by Bayer.
Dimemorfan is an analogue of dextromethorphan (DXM) and its active metabolite dextrorphan (DXO), and similarly to them, acts as a potent agonist of the σ 1 receptor (K i = 151 nM). [ 6 ] [ 7 ] However, unlike DXM and DXO, it does not act significantly as an NMDA receptor antagonist (K i = 16,978 nM), and for this reason, lacks dissociative ...
