Need a bit of help with some DXM - General

So I just got back from the store and picked up some Adult Robitussin Long-Acting with the only active ingredient Dextromethorphan HBr, 15 mg (5mL in each tsp) What I don't get even after reading [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=712616[/url] I don't see how to get from 63 kg (140lbs) weight to how much of this bottle to take. I must be retarded or something but it just does not make sense to me. This [stuff I've typed] probably makes sense to no one either, I'll probably just drink the bottle. But any help is appreciated.

Lol okay, 1 sec [editline]06:52PM[/editline] How big is the bottle? As in, how many ml is in it?

4 FL OZ (118 mL)

The bottle has roughly 350mg of DXM in it. Just take the whole bottle.

Should have bought two I guess, but this will do for now then. [B]Edit:[/B] Just chugged that shit, man it was awful.

Okay, for future reference, this is how I worked it out. You divide how much is in the bottle by 5 to make working it out easier, as there is 15mg per 5ml, hard to explain, hope you get it. The number you then get, times it by 15, the amount of DXM per 5ml of fluid. This answer is how much is in it. 118 - 5 = 23.6 23.6 x 15 = 354mg of DXM To work out what plateau this is, simple divide this amount by how much you weigh in kg. 354 / 68 = 5.2mg/kg - mid/high 2nd plateau trip.

Have you done DXM before? [editline]06:59PM[/editline] I must be extremely sensitive to DXM, because I weigh ~230 lbs and a bottle is more often than not a sufficient dose for me. Then again, I think a lot of my weight is in my bones. I'm not terribly fat, and I have very broad shoulders... I dunno

This is so you can count how many 5ml teaspoons there are so you can then times that by how much DXM is per teaspoon to find out the whole amount of DXM in the bottle.

The only thing that I have trouble with is going from different things like ml to mg ect.

Just remember that ml is liquid, mg is for solids.

I thought you have to like do some math to convert like in chemistry.

Meh, I don't reckon you can, although I might be wrong. mg is more of a weight, and ml is more of a measurement

Well thanks for yalls help. I'll try and post a bit of a trip report thing.

Not a problem :D Hope you have a good trip, it might not kick in for another hour. Changing the topic slightly, how good are you at skating? ;P

Slightly unrelated: I robotripped Monday night, and I played some TF2 as I was coming up. I was doing so fucking good, getting ridiculous shots (I play as the sniper), fucking hitting scouts out of midair and junk like that. Easily the best sniper on the team (and I'm generally not too good. Not terrible, but not great). Shit was so cash

Here is a video from yesterday of me skating [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMZuGvZ78PU[/media] i'm so fucking itchy on my head but i'm forcing my self not to scratch it man i feel so fucking weird. edit: i can tre flip and stuff if that helps man i don't know what i'm think right now to be honest

Woah nice grinds there, I can't do them for shit :( Although I skate street, fakie heelflips and hardflips all the waay :D

can't hardflip shit confuses me [editline]02:15PM[/editline] i feel so fucked up

in a good or bad way?

well i just realized that i'm me so i guess good.

How u feeling now?

Tripping nuts, I do believe

I don't know someone just called e and i dont remember what i said typing is so slow

A normal dose of diphenhydramine will combat that itch.
