CAUTION - DXM/DM is detoxed by the liver via the same pathway as Tylenol and some A/D - specifically Serzone (nefazodone). This pathway has the particular property that at high doses, it quite suddenly hits a ceiling, and starts causing potentially severe, even life threatening, liver damage. I took Serzone 24 hr after a large dose of DXM and experienced severe liver pains (my liver is somewhat compromised from past excesses).
Anyone on A/D, esp. serzone and possibly trazodone, if you're thinking of taking DXM, do your research first - there's LOTS of info on the net. Including the little known fact that anything over 2,000mg of ordinary Tylenol - just 4 extra-strength - in 24 hr. is risky for anyone with a compromised liver or who drinks alcohol regularly . The effects are cross-cumulative between the three drugs (and no doubt others - Cam?).
Be Thou Warned.
