Well maybe, but in that case 20 USD for 30 tubes of sugar is a little steep in my view.
Why do that when you can just pre-order their official merch?
I remember using tubes like that in mexico when i was little and I had a cold. They had menthol and were used to unclog your nose. There is nothing unique about the delivery method.
Looks like Vicks makes them

There is this minty/sweet/fruity dark syrup that lots of Asian American families give to their kids when a sore throat arises. It's usually called Loquat Syrup, or Pi pa gao/Pei Pa Koa.
Example: http://www.amazon.com/Nin-Jiom-Pei-Pa-Koa/dp/B001FAQXD2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_misc_1
It tastes like delicious nostalgia and childhood stuff for some of my Chinese friends so they like to sip a spoonful to nuke chronic morning sore throat ASAP. Some sip a full tablespoonful undiluted because they like how thick it is, or you can dilute it a bit in a cup.
Second possible solution: my mother used to boil/stew giant yellow pears for a little while and put in those chunky crystals of sugar with them. I would drink this slightly sweet pear soup and carve hot fruit flesh out with a spoon. Ate the skin and all because it was entirely soft. Ate it because I had strep throat; was happy about it being a fruity dessert/snack.
I had chronic sinus infection. I always knew when another was coming because everything smelled like mulch.
I did no dairy and this for a month. Worked like a charm.
OMG the crap that came of my head during that month!
Now whenever I feel alllergy-y or slightly congested I take one. But since starting Keto I haven't needed one.

Pills instead of syrup.
The strict answer to your question involves probability.
There is a so-small-it's-silly probability that (even assuming mixing) no original water remains after 2 days. The probability is that each original molecule of water ends up in the drain, two days in a row. For 1L it's like tossing a coin 3x10^70 times and getting nothing but heads. That number is too small to be tangible.
At the same time there is a so-much-smaller-it-makes-the-first-probability-look-humongous chance that exactly half remains after 1000 days. (3x10^35000 tosses of heads in a row.)
The inflection point, where the probability of any of the original molecules remaining starts to be improbable happens after about 85 days of tossing half and refilling.
You can purchase a product that claims to reduce flu symptoms that consists of duck liver mashed and then diluted by a factor of 100 to 1, 200 times in a row. To apply to your example this is closer to simply emptying the glass and refilling it (figure the water clinging to the inside is one hundredth of the total) and repeating 200 times. The chance of an original molecule remaining becomes improbable after 18 rinses.
Alright, this ended up being way longer than I thought. If anyone thinks this is hailcorporate material go fuck yourself. I didn't spend half an hour collecting drug prices to be accused of advertising (on that note if the links are breaking any rules mods pls let me know and I'll remove them).
NyQuil:
650mg paracetamol
30mg dextromethorphan hbr
12.5mg doxylamine succinate
X48 Amazon - $16.62/$0.35 per dose
Dayquil
325mg paracetamol
10mg dextromethorphan hbr
5mg phenylephrine hcl
X48 Amazon - $14.91/$0.31 per dose
Paracetamol: 500mg X600 (Amazon) - $11.91
Dextromethorphan hbr: 15mg X60 (Amazon) - $9.99
Doxylamine succinate: 25mg X192 (Amazon)* - $9.49
Phenylephrine hcl: 10mg X36 ("Blowout Medical") - $2.10
10mg X72 (Rite Aid) - $10.99/$7.69 if you're a "member"
So!
You can also find other mixes of the ingredients (eg paracetamol/phenylephrine was one I saw) which may be cheaper than buying the ingredients individually.
* I wrote this post out of order and got tired of transcribing links on my phone. Sorry. I didn't have to search very hard to find any of these, so you probably can too.
** Dextromethorphan is mildly problematic as an ingredient because for some reason you can only get it by itself in Robitussin or similarly expensive medications - so no cheap generics. But if you're willing to take it with something else like guafinisen (an expectorant that causes serious nausea at high doses to prevent abuse of dextromethorphan, but typically no ill, effects when taking therapeutic doses) then you will end up paying much less for that as well. Example:
400mg guaifenesin, 20mg dextromethorphan hbr X30 Dollar General - $4.50
And if you're willing to order it in bulk from a foreign chemical supplier, then therapeutic doses become laughably cheap. Alibaba, e.g., has 1kg available for $480 (Xi'an Salus Nutra Bio-Tech Inc.), which puts 30mg at $0.01440. For a less insane example, I also see 1g for $1 (Changzhou Confucius Biotechnology Co., LTD.), which puts 30mg at $0.03000.
So we can "homebrew" a dayquil dose for
$0.01288 (325mg paracetamol) +
$0.01 (10mg dextromethorphan hbr) +
$0.02917 (5mg phenylephrine hcl)
:::
$0.05205.
And a nyquil dose for
$0.02576 (650mg paracetamol) +
$0.03 (30mg dextromethorphan hbr) +
$0.02471 (12.5mg doxylamine succinate)
:::
$0.08047
and excepting dextromethorphan we have only used generics/different brands of the medicines that are in NyQuil and DayQuil.
That's a big part of why I think those products are scams. Another slightly more subjective reason is that I think paracetamol and phenylephrine are both useless in most circumstances. I have found that pseudoephedrine is the most effective nasal decongestant by far (though definitely more expensive), and that phenylephrine has little or no effect on symptoms of relevant illnesses.
I would recommend Chloraseptic and menthol for coughs instead of dextromethorphan as well.
It still boggles my mind that people buy shit like NyQuil, Excedrin (literally just caffeine and paracetamol, and we already know how cheap paracetamol is), etc. when the active ingredients can often be bought off the very same shelves
delsym's DXM is different than the one I used to use. I used to lift Dayquil Cough, which was only DXM. Delsym tends to make me barf cause Delsym has Dextromethorphan Polisterex, AKA extended release DXM, you want Dextromethorphan HBr. Next time I suggest trying to find Dayquil Cough. This is what it looks like to make it easier. https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Dayquil-Citrus-Flavor-Liquid/dp/B005JRGUH6/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1511978325&sr=8-3&keywords=dayquil+cough

The most important thing with the Mucinex is to get the kind that’s ONLY guaifenesin (i.e.: without a decongestant). Here’s a link to the one I take: Mucinex 600mg Extended Release Tablets
DOSE: 1 tablet 1-2x/day, (12hrs apart if 2x).
Keep in mind, all the studies involving guaifenesin have been with 600mg 1x/day so that should be sufficient.
WHEN: I start at the beginning of my predicted FW (I use the Flo app to predict), usually CD 7/8 for me, and continue until the end of my FW (2 days past ovulation).
TI: Every other day at beginning of FW until 4 days before predicted ovulation then every day until FW is over.
NOTE: I wasn’t kidding about giving it to my partner too. He takes it 1x/day on the same days as me. Some studies show improvement to sperm motility for men taking guaifenesin soooooo why not lol.
Yuuuup, these are what I buy lol Amazon Prime FTW

Their isn't a central registry for DXM purchases in TX, as far as I can tell, states even like CA that require an age to purchase (TX isn't actually one, it's just this guy's store policy) still don't have a central registry for one.
Anonymity helps this lady not one little bit, as it isn't illegal to purchase huge amounts of DXM.
Here's a helpful amazon link to buy it at $21 per 1.8g of DXM
Inhalers refer to well 'inhaled' medicine or whatever. In this case Vicks or other brand inhalers work. Specially if they have menthol or other strong scent. Put in your nostril and inhale. Similar to Poppers if you know about those
Balm, Rubs, Ointments, Lotions are all synonyms sort of? Kinda the same thing. You can just put a bit under your nostrils/upper lip and get similar effects. Hope it helps

There’s a guide on Erowid.org as far as how not to take too much, cause it will make you trip if you go overboard. 1mg/kg is more or less what I’ve been doing, every three or four nights.

Jesus Christ...had your parents never heard of "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down"? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
If it helps, I use this stuff. It tastes great (and nothing like traditional cough syrup), and I just stir a tablespoon into a mug of water and drink it down.
If you have a Walmart near you I would suggest Robitussin Cough Gels. One bottle has 300mg of dxm in it. I prefer these as I cant stomach the syrup anymore.
I believe the Robafen Cough Gels are the best bang for your buck on Amazon. Also, I've heard Dollar Tree's website sells cough gels for $1 per bottle, but I'm not gonna link it. It should be easy enough to find on Google.
Same thing happened here. 1 week into daycare got a cold, which then turned into an ear infection.
Anyway, we got the Nosefrida which is 100% better then a bulb syringe (and 100% more disgusting, but it pulls out so much more snot). Just put some saline drops in before to loosen everything up.
Also, as per a recommendation of a friend, we rubbed Vicks BabyRub on her feet before bed, put some socks on, and the coughing definitely decreased at night. We asked our ped. before we did, and though she never heard of doing it, she didn't see a problem with it. Just make sure it is the Vicks BABYRUB, it is safe for 3 months+ in age.
At the very least, try to get your hands on some gabapentin or its brother phenibut. Your doctor probably won't have problems prescribing gabapentin. They're like benzo-lite and great for preventing seizures and GABA downregulation related withdrawal symptoms. With benzodiazepines tapering slowly is really the best option. It has the harshest withdrawal symptoms when stopped cold-turkey. Valium or Klonopin for slow withdrawal.
DXM helps with dopamine downregulation related withdrawal symptoms and NMDA antagonism for general pain. Kratom to help with serotonin downregulation and black hole depression.
Take magnesium supplements, because amphetamines are known to deplete magnesium and most people are deficient anyway. Magnesium helps with anxiety, pain through NMDA neuromodulation.
Propranolol for adrenergic symptoms like sweating, heart rate, blood pressure etc.
Buspirone, a very light weight anti-anxiety drug can help because it is a serotonin 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist. 5-HT1A is responsible for modulating all other serotonin receptors and has been shown to increase dopamine as well. 5-HT1A desensitization is linked to increased serotonin from all sources and is believe to be the mechanism behind SSRIs and why they take weeks to work (time to desensitize the 5-HT1A receptor). The autoreceptors must first densensitize before the concentration of extracellular serotonin in the synapse can become elevated.
Finally, outdoor exercise.

don't listen to him, its horrible on your body and not only will it fuck up your liver, but you'll feel like shit for days. It's easy enough to get and certainly not worth taking guaf
edit: ive used these in the past, great product for the price and purpose
First pull off of a freshly opened one of these sonofawhores, and it feels like your eyes are gonna get pushed out of the sockets from the inside. That's how you can tell it's working.
For on the go try these soooo cooold
Try using the neilmed sinus rinse. It will help flush out the sinuses and can prep your nose for use of an inhaled medication like fluticasone (Flonase). Guaifenesin can help make mucous more runny, but you need to be hydrated for it to work. When people are really sick in the hospital, I sometimes give them a vibratory PEP therapy device like this one to help break up thick mucous.
As you said, smoking will make things worse. I recommend checking out the handout provided by the AAFP for good tips on quitting.
if you can find it buy these DXM capsule thingies , it works best. also, no alcohol and its always better to have a friend if your trip spirals out of hand.
...Fisherman's Friend
They taste terrible but they're reliable and effective.
Here. I've seen them at Walmart, Walgreen's, and CVS.
>all of which any child can buy no questions asked.
In many states, you have to be 18 to buy cough syrup w/ DXM or any pseudoephedrine. And in certain states, you cannot buy more than x-amount of pseudoephedrine per month without a red flag going off^+. The other products, yes; but the sale of cough/cold medicine is typically watched closely just for this reason (and so that meth-heads can't buy tons of the stuff at a time). And I feel like if a ten-year-old went into NAPA and bought a bunch of ether (or even spray paint, for that matter), some questions would be asked.
^+ Edit: I was curious so I did a little research. Turns out pseudoephedrine is strictly regulated by the FDA and must be sold 'behind-the-counter' always (except for those tiny little 2-tablet pouches they sell at gas stations). Sales must also be recorded to prevent someone from buying tons of the stuff at a time. AFAIK, DXM is largely unregulated, though most of the popular stores (Safeway, Walgreens, Kroger), from my experience, require ID for any sort of cough/cold medicine purchase, regardless of its drug content.
*Edit2: But you can buy DXM off of fucking Amazon. So, yea, I feel your point still stands.
Dextromethorphan Hbr (aka your good old Robotripping). I prefer the cough gels. Of ALL the psychedelics and dissociatives I've tried, this legal substance available at every corner drug store has produced some of the most spectacular trips I've ever had (I'm talking doses around 975mg - only recommended for experienced users).
Be advised it comes in basically 2 forms: DXM Hbr (Hydrobromide) or DXM Polistirex. The mail difference is with the Polistirex the mantra is "half as strong/twice as long". So it depends on what you're going for - If you're looking for a strong psychedelic experience the obvious choice is the Hbr version. The Poli would be more suitable if you just wanted a really nice body buzz and cool headspace and be able to function all day.
And yea, no worries on a drug test for 2 reasons: 1) They don't test for it in the first place, and 2) it's LEGAL so even if it did show up on a drug test just tell em you had a fucking cold or something - lol
Edit: If that peaks your interest then here ya go: https://www.amazon.com/Robafen-Cough-Liquidgels-Dextromethorphan-Packs/dp/B00CSF8070/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1502049858&sr=8-2&keywords=robafen
Here are sixty-eight. Here's a review of the whole field. Even if I don't list individual preparations, can you find a single source for a homeopathic remedy being pulled from the shelves for inefficacy? I can't. The closest I can find is when the remedy turns out to not be as homeopathic as claimed. But even if that were happening, would that be a good thing, really, when it's replaced with other similarly-impossible homeopathic preparations?
Furthermore, at a certain point, absence of evidence is evidence of absence. It's been over two hundred years, and not a single homeopathic remedy has ever been demonstrated to work beyond a placebo, and it's not like we haven't been trying.
But if you really care about specific claims:
Amway claims that, if you join Amway, you can be rich! Except they are a pyramid scheme, or close enough -- the average Amway distributor makes $1400/year. They are still in business -- that Dateline article was in 2004, and Amway is still doing quite well. This is hardly the only running scam like this, and ought to be enough to disprove your original contention.
Back in Homeopathy, there's Oscillococcinum, which has again and again... not been shown to work. There have even been class action lawsuits -- plural -- over the fact that it was labeled as having the ability to cure the flu, and does not. But it's also in stock now, get it by Tuesday if you like.
Ultimately, I think this is shifting the burden. The burden should not be on the skeptic to show that a remedy doesn't work -- after all, all the homeopath needs do at that point is keep selling the same sugar pills and claim they came from a different plant that I haven't proven false yet. The burden should be on the person trying to sell something as "medicine" to prove that it actually treats something better than a placebo. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to sell them, but I think it's reasonable to have a separate section of the store for wholly-unproven remedies.
Robitussin is the common brand name, but they also make varieties mixed with with other drugs now, you need to look at the ingredients and make sure what you're getting is nothing but Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (DXM hBr). DXM Polistirex is also valid, though worse for the inexperienced; it's an extended-release variety that causes a weaker high for 3x as long (commonly sold as Delsym).
Robafen is a generic brand commonly available online. It's DXM hBr in gel capsules, which are way easier to swallow by the bottle than cough syrup. Buying it is legal in most places, including America.
As with any drug, do some research first. DXM has a reputation as a legal alternative to "real" drugs, but it's a serious high, not to be taken lightly. Erowid is the best place to start. https://erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/
These are the mucinex pills I use: http://smile.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Relief-Guaifenesin-Expectorant/dp/B0028K154A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420729785&sr=8-2&keywords=kirkland+guaifenesin
They're really cheap but they definitely have that gross mucinex taste. They work really well though!!
Extremely fair point, I guesshere’s an alternative
You can buy Robafen liquidgels on Amazon. They are the same as the Robitussin ones, but a little cheaper. They sell them in bulk too.
It’ll only show on your bank statement as an Amazon purchase.
Pregabalin/Lyrica and gabapentin are awesome. I prefer gabapentin, because pregabalin makes me feel too "domed" for daily use, and I got too tolerant and dependant.
So far, I've tried every gabapentinoid except Fluoro-phenibut. Out of all the gabapentinoids, gabapentin is probably my favourite, phenibut is probably my second favourite, and pregabalin is my third favourite.
I absolutely love all of them. It's too bad I can't use pregabalin more. I still have 50mg left from my old script, but I'm saving it for a really special occasion.
Tramadol is also an SNRI, but also a quite weak opioid. I wonder why it stopped working well.
You might be interested in NMDA antagonists like dextromethorphan/dextrorphan, or ketamine. They're pretty much the most effective neuropathic pain treatments.
Ket is schedule III, DXM is legal OTC (DO NOT USE ANYTHING WITH ACETAMINOPHEN, GUAIFENESIN, PHENYLEPHRINE, OR ANTI-HISTAMINES! Only use products with ONLY DEXTROMETHORPHAN AS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT, such as RoboCough or Robafen NON-DROWSY)
EDIT: Since we're on the topic, DXM is also a weak SNRI, which you may like. DXM is mostly just an SNRI with a few other weak properties, but most of its effects come from its metabolite, Dextrorphan/DXO, which is an NMDA antagonist, SNRI, etc. I recommend trying DXM, it's insanely cheap and you can legally order it to your house
Amitriptyline is a TCA, but "TCA" is a chemical-therapeutic classification (its chemical structure is tricyclic, and its therapeutic goal is primarily as an antidepressant).
SNRI is a method of action (the pharmacological way the drug works).
There are 4 classification types for drugs, and mixes of them (such as the previously mentioned "chemical-therapeutic" class).
This classification groups drugs by their chemical properties, such as "steroid" or "tricyclic"
This classification groups drugs by their pharmacological action, such as "dopaminergic", "Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor", and "COx Inhibitor"
This classification groups drugs by the anatomical/functional changes they induce, such as "bronchodilator", "antifungal", etc.
This classification groups drugs by their therapeutic goal(s), such as "analgesic", "sedative", "antidepressant", and "antiepileptic"
Dan Savage says on his podcast to “fuck first.” Definitely wise advice but we are being really specific with our timing, so it made sense to have dinner first...tonight we will keep it much lighter!
Make sure you get the tablets with guaifenesin only. I got the extended release (12 hour) version. I’ve been taking them twice a day, but once a day will have an impact as well. I started taking them a couple of days before my expected O and I will continue through O day (today) and the day after. I noticed a difference in CM texture pretty much immediately! I bought them on Amazon (link) but there are generic versions as well. Best of luck this cycle!!
I must've done the Reddit link wrong but this is what I found on cvs that I think is correct https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005E74U3W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1502432161&sr=8-1&keywords=robitussin+cough+gels
I'm about 5'8" 160lbs and he is over 6ft but skinny as a rail, so prob weighs less than me.
Thanks for the help because I'm shit at conversions lol.
CVS has generic brand gel caps , 300 mg in total for around $5
Most grocery stores (Vons, Albertsons, etc.) also have a "signature brand" bottle of syrup with around 354 mg in them, for also around $5-6
Delsym ( my personal favorite, but it's DXM polystirex which is the extended release form, not DXM hbr which is what most people are looking for) and other extended release offbrands also only have DXM polystirex as their only main ingredient. it's pricier though.
also here's some gel caps on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Robitussin-Lingering-CoughGels-Long-Acting-Suppressant/dp/B005E74U3W/ref=pd_sim_121_4?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=5C0JW0VPCP5HFQ8PAXBQ&th=1

Look at the "Active Ingredients" part of the label, that's what you want to see. You should buy it locally because they are overpriced AF from Amazon.

If you don't want to down 20 or 60 gelcaps or have the shits, maybe robocough is for you. Its a 5 hour energy drink size bottle of 450mg of dxm hbr (they take paypal, you cannot buy directly from them on amazon anymore)
https://robocough.com
edit: if you meant like going to the store and buying them, cvs and walgreens have gelcaps. Syrups with only dxm hbr are pretty much impossible to find now. If you are insistent on it being a syrup, you could always try the agent lemon extraction.
It's hit or miss for me. I'm 18 and they usually just ask if I'm 18 and I say yeah and end of story. Sometimes tho usually if they're older they'll say "i need to see ID sir" especially if I buy the entire stock of dxm. Honestly I'd just try and buy it and if they ask for ID just say you forgot your wallet or something. You could also buy some on amazon and ship it to a amazon locker.(no ID needed and it's automatic so there isn't someone who hands you your package.)That's how I did it when I was 16,17 Robafen Cough Liquidgels Dextromethorphan HBr, USP 15mg, 20 Liquidgels (3 Packs) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CSF8070/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wYcNAb81G8XMA

Here is what I take, I would certainly recommend them, and if it's your first time you must do an allergy test! This involves taking a small dose beforehand to make sure you don't have a rare dangerous enzyme deficiency. After you perform that safety test, I would recommend 200-250mg combined with a ton of Cannabis. Each bottle has 300mg total.
Robitussin Cough Gels
I swear by this stuff. I stir a tablespoonful into throat coat tea when I’m sick. Obviously this doesn’t help you TODAY, but it’s good stuff to have around.
Beyond that, what everyone else said: throat coat tea (really any tea with slippery elm), vocal rest, cough drops. I have a director who makes us take Wellness whenever we start showing signs of illness- no idea if it works, but she’s really into it.
Could you please supervise me on this, is it safe? I already ordered. Thanks a lot!

It's this. Hitting the bottom of printed parts on the bed with it will cause them to pop right off the bed most times without needing a tool to remove them. It's very handy for keeping the bed nice.
Ah yes, they NEED to have these prices.
A nice little 5555% markup of a consumer available non-bulk purchase for the convenience of slapping them in a separate package. Truly an efficient system that worries about paying the employees and not at all inflating Pharma company vaults.
This is a product on Amazon with 1209 customer reviews. 92% of the users claim it works.
To be honest, you don't see results like that with FDA approved medicines, even when testing against a sugar pill.
So either all these people are crazy or maybe they work some of the time for some of the people.

You don't have to get pure DXM on a street corner.

I usually use Fisherman's Friend throat lozenges. You should be able to pick them up in the pharmacy section of most larger grocery stores.
They really help clear up congestion in the nose and throat area.
How many pills would that be ? Like from this,

i would be careful with the doxy man, theres a good chance 148mg is gonna cause some unpleasant feelings. But yeah just get some stuff with straight dxm. I got a link right here.

Order on Amazon if you can (ship to a friend's house?) These have been good to me. Small & easy to swallow (like nothing if you squeeze the 'pill juice' into a cup and down w/ soda), and 300mg DXM per bottle. I'd say take 150 -250 or so mg for your first time.
Also, drinking the stuff just feels awful. Some people are good with it, but personally I can't stand the taste when I can just down some pills.

menthol inhalers are a popular thing to have too or some of these differaction glasses to pass out and share with the people around you
if you have Snapchat or instagram, thats a fun thing to swap with people you meet. its fun to see the people apart of rave culture's "normal" lives.
This is what you're looking for. Least unpleasant method of ingestion I've found so far and accurate dosing. They sell gel caps in most pharmacies as well under their own generic brands.
Honestly the only place I can think of that sells 30mg/pill gel caps would be dollar stores like Dollar General, Dollar Tree, etc. You can get almost 300mg DXM for a couple dollars. There's also this very good deal on Amazon, 3 packs of 20 gel caps for $10. Or you can find a DXM powder vendor online and make your own capsules of DXM. Hope that helps somewhat.
Tons of water, green tea and the Guaifenesin-only Mucinex during your fertile window.
i mean in this flu remedy they even claim that:
>Oscillo has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce both the duration and the severity of flu-like symptoms.
which deceives people into thinking it's been clinically tested. i'm pretty sure there's nothing clinical about their product at all, even.
what's crazy is that people are really dumb enough to buy into it, it has an A, 90% rating out of 1303 reviews on fakespot at the time of this writing.
WTF people WTF.
My doctor prescribed this and it worked well. Here's it's known as the best cough medicine

This stuff is golden. Works awesome and doesn't taste disgusting
Could you recommend a brand of DXM?
http://www.amazon.com/Creomulsion-Adult-Cough-Medicine-Ounce/dp/B006KXSOA4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top this is the one I'm looking at now. It doesn't have any other active ingredients, and the inactive aren't anything bad, so I think it should be good.
Look for these in a store, or you can buy straight from Amazon.
Usually the medicines (both syrups and gels) in a green box having guaif and the ones in a blue box don't.
You might need to check a few stores. CVS is usually pretty good about stocking them.

If you're willing to pay more these will work okay.
Check this out instead. This is purpose driven for what you're doing.

Freeze spray for diagnosing electronics issues ticks all your choices, and is safer for the environment and you than spraying 134a that frequently.

If you are looking to mainline a cough suppressant in a tablet form. you go for these bad boys.
They are like sticking a tin of Vaporub up your nostrils.
And BTW, the solution to your issue is gum. Go chew some.

I weigh 170lbs and take four of these https://www.amazon.com/Robafen-Cough-Liquidgels-Dextromethorphan-Packs/dp/B00CSF8070 (five if I really want to be obliterated). 4 of those = 1200mg which should provide that level of trip for MOST people without a massive tolerance. Usually 1200mgs puts me on my ass for a good 8-10 hours and feels insanely dream like and nostalgic at the same time, it's hard to really explain.
No need to extract, here's a link to pure dxm for cheap
Robafen Cough Liquidgels Dextromethorphan HBr, USP 15mg, 20 Liquidgels (6 Packs) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EU7460I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uD-CzbJ60WDFG
You look new to the sub so I'll assume this is an actual question. Let me explain. The only drug that you're looking for here is DXM Hbr/polistirex. Any other active ingredients that are going to be paired with it are NOT going to get you high and they will always have negative side effects that can really ruin your trip. This particular product also has Guaifenesin in it, which when taken in high enough doses to get a trip from the DXM will absolutely wreck your stomach. You'll be lucky if it doesn't come out of both holes. And I've heard it also causes kidney stones. Just stay away from anything that has any other active ingredients.
Try Robotussin cough gels or Robocough(if you live in the US.) These are both Hbr products.
If you're looking for polistirex try delsym 12 hour
The difference between poli and Hbr is that Hbr is not timed release, which means it's all absorbed ASAP which means strong high. Poli is timed release, which means you get about half of it at ingestion time, and half about 4 hours later. Rule of thumb for poli is "half as strong, twice as long." If you have more questions lmk
A few tips:
First off, make sure the stuff you have ONLY has DXM as an active ingredient. A lot of the "tussins" come with other stuff in it. Namely "guaifenesin". I made the mistake of not realizing this and got "robo rash" and severe itching. Both can be avoided by making sure the stuff you have ONLY has DXM.
I'd suggest going for the higher end of the first plateau (the calculator I used) for a first trip because a dissociative "high" is very different from alcohol, marijuana or opiods. You'll want to get a feel for it and you'll be sedated for some time, it lasts for hours from onset to peak and back down. Once you get how it feels, aim for a higher plateau. Something that is rarely mentioned is that your libido will be affected the higher the plateau.
Have some good music queued up. Very cool to listen to music while robo-trippin'
Liquid DXM has some alcohol in it. You'll feel it in addition to the effects of the DXM.
Be sure to do it on a nearly empty stomach so you have a "baseline". I've found that a completely empty stomach will prevent any effects. I've always had better luck with just a bit of food (half a sandwich, a few cookies, etc...) in my stomach.
For the future, I recommend these these. Nothing but DXM in a gelcap. No extra sugar, no guaifenesin, just good ol' DXM. No need to choke down that nasty syrup. That cherry aftertaste is quite un-appealing. I stopped having that sick/queasy feeling in my stomach I'd get from drinking the liquid.
Good luck, be careful and please let someone who can get to you physically know that way if shit goes south, you have an out. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
There's loads of proper bullshit on amazon with five star ratings.
Check out Vicks Baby Rub it works almost as well as regular vicks rub, but doesn't have the camphor and menthol that vicks has. In the baby rub it's mostly just petroleum jelly and eucalyptus oil with a couple other essential oils. Much safer. They say 3 months and older, but my pedi said it was safe to use on my six-week-old when he was congested. (I went the on-the-feet under-the-socks route.)

There you go. Might want two if you plan to get into the third plateau.
Some Chinese made products still use that in their logos.
