DXM user needs HELP!

I've been using DXM since I was 16 I'm currently 23. I've been noticing that right underneath my ribcage I have been having pains. I went to a doctor a year ago and he said I may have acute pancreatitus and an enlarged liver. I was wondering if anyone else has had any of these things happen to them? I recently saw another docter and he said I don't have pancreatitus. The only reason I do this is because I'm on probation. Have been since I was 16. Not to mention my state is the one of the harshest states on marijuana laws or I would toke up instead of degrade my life. Now I'm a felon been searching for (6) months to find a job and no one will hire a felon.. I have cut back very considerably on my use I take around eight every two weeks. Was wonder if anyone has any of these experiences with the medical aspect of it.

Why not stop taking drugs?

Did the doctors know that you've been using DXM? Are you aware of how bad pancreatitis can be? I'm watching a friend's mom go through this shit and it ain't no walk in the park.

Be honest with your doctors, get your tests done, and follow up. Take care of yourself.

yea what Tonight said, pancreatitis is no joke. definitely don't ignore it. I believe your liver can heal itself but only if you are young and certainly not if you are still putting that shit into your system. also there must be a point of no return when it can no longer heal you don't need all that. I am no doctor and nobodies advice is going to be a substitute for one in this case.

Dude you're having some stop fucking around and lay off the drugs kinda problems. Try to see a dr and be honest. It's no fun but a slow death is worse. I just lost a friend to liver failure a few months ago. It was ugly.

I really hope you listen and stop. seeing my friend tend to his hospitalized mother due to an affinity for xanax and alcohol. Stop the DXM, see a doctor, be honest with your doctor and get some therapy to cope. You are young and the chances of recovery can be good, but you can easily make this progressively worse. my friends mother had this pain and continued to ignore it until it became a point of hospitalizations, we are talking feeding tubes, oxygen and a a fun iv pole. This is a wake up call, don't ignore it.

ETA A YEAR AGO!?!?!? It's been going on that long? My friend, I don't know you but definitely stop. This can honestly turn into into a life and death type situation.

All good points and well intended. I have come to the conclusion that I am going to stop using DXM. I have weighed the risks and outcomes, I would much rather live a fruitful live than an agonizing death. Thanks to everyone who applied to this thread. Also I don't ever lay around I am very in-tuned to the outdoors. I am landscaper but if you have ever worked in the business you should know that its not a year round thing, or for that matter a everyday thing. Seems like everywhere I have applied has told me my felonies are to recent and violent. With that being said though I'm sure it will turn out in the end.

Good for you man! Sometimes we already know what we need to do, just need a little reaffirmation that its the right choice. Second chances are hard to come by, but they are out there. I'm sure you will find yours!

Ah, DXM probs.
Stop using it man. I had a HUGE issue with it, as a few on this forum probably remember. So I'll try and help best I can. The immediate advice is to stop using as it makes you(me, maybe not the same for everyone) very mentally unstable, and physically unhealthy. I developed a bad case of IBS from this and also have a condition called cystitis. Not sure if the latter is linked but I do know that nothing good came of DXM use.

It destroyed my youth. Well, technically, I destroyed my youth. But I had a lot going for me. Then I started smoking pot and becoming interested in expanding my mind. Which is something that I'm sure very few 15 year olds' can actually handle. Eventually I became a DXM binger. Using it daily through highschool and into my 20's. Similar to you. Luckily, I think I am okay with my physical health.
I hope the same goes for you.
Cut it out! It's not important. Of course the epiphanies, or getting lost, ridding of boredom.. Whatever YOU use it for, it is useful for it. But it comes at a cost apparently. And it seems you are paying for it.
I hope all goes well for you. I really do. ^.^ Chin up man.

I was hoping you would chime in. I've had issues with a lot of drugs but never dissociatives.

I had issues with ketamine..never dxm...id slow your roll dude..I wouldn't say quit something you like,but no one should over indulge in anything to the extent you're describing..

You need to get your shit figured out pretty quickly my friend. Your pancreas is what produces the enzymes required to break down and assimilate your food. Having an enlarged liver is not a good thing either. Your liver handles toxins in the body and helps excrete them. The longer you wait to address these issues, the more toxic your body will become. You say you have pancreas and liver issues, but to be honest, all of your organs and glands are potentially suboptimal. If one part of you is unbalanced, so is the rest of you.

My advice would be to obviously stop taking any and all pharmaceuticals unless they're required. And to do a little research online on how to repair your pancreas and liver to an optimal condition through diet and lifestyle.

Get well brother.

Thanks, Duck! They can lead to some pretty nasty problems.. I've arranged a nice little sourced guide on how to maybe possibly replenish himself and how it helped with my situation ^.^

Here are some aids for you:
They've helped me in the past.

Milk Thistle: This helps aid your liver very well.

Iodine/ Potassium Iodide: Been meaning to make a thread on just this. I will later when I get done running around probably. Iodine is overlooked especially in the American diet and is absolutely necessary for your thyroid gland. The thyroid is important to keep healthy with iodine supplementation because it eases/cures an array of conditions. Cystitis(In my case), brain fog, obesity, and even breast cancer! There is more than that. I cannot advocate iodine supplements enough, they are very important. Here's some reading. There are plenty of sources, do some looking around! Seriously! To anyone reading this. But like I said, I'll make a thread later.

Peppermint-oil Extract: This helps ANY tummy ache it seems. Peppermint-oil is one of the more useful supplements I've found over the years. I use it for IBS. Even if my stomach is in gut wrenching pain, one gel capsule of this, poof. Gone. You may want to look into peppermint-oil. Every doctor I went to, even after being honest with them about my DXM use didn't ever help. I had to do research on my own and become my own doctor and it paid off. I KNOW DXM had to have givin me IBS(even if not, stuff is great) because a friend of mine suffers from it because of extended opiate use for his migraines.
ALSO!! The best part! Taking a peppermint oil extract pill will make every burp you have taste like a genuine, good tasting candy cane. It's really nice!

Supplements for your pancreas: I do not know much about pancreas health besides that cystitis had to do with it. The pancreas becomes enlarged and there is presence of cysts that cause your downstairs to be very.. Uncomfortably painful. VERY uncomfortably painful. In my experience, I had unknown cysts on my hips, hemorrhoids, and my groin/pubic region hurt very badly when moving. Luckily, my iodine supplementation literally made this disappear within 30 minutes taking my first 'attack dose' which is 10 drops(~62mg). As it was an issue lasting more than a few days. Now I take it as needed. Two drops in the morning ~12mg, then one in the evening ~6mg. Maybe this could help you!
Anyways, here's a link to some pancreas supplements that may help!

Do some reading, stop taking the DXM. Smoke some herb for now unless you don't feel like it, stay away from all pharms unless you are mentally insane, or physically impaired and NEED them to even survive.
{NOT out of addiction(SSRI's[prozac, zoloft], benzos[xanax, valium, klonopin], opiates[hydrocodone(Vicodin), oxycodone(percacet)], and plenty others. those especially are bad for your tummy. I wouldn't advise taking these AT ALL in the near future. And if you must, try taking a painkiller with NO acetaminophen(tylenol). And lastly, do not take ANY OTC meds unless you have some sort of unbearable flu or cold, which in most cases the cold is manageable with natural remedies, or just simply dealing with it like I do.}

***DO NOT TAKE ACETAMINOPHEN OR ANY OTHER OTC HEADACHE MEDICINE***
If you must, take naproxen sodium.

Not quite sure how antihistamines affect the organs you are having problems with, but I'd stay away from diphenhydramine(benadryl), I have no logical argument for this besides countless bad experiences I had with it while being a teenager. I do know that it messes with the urinary tract though. And over-all brain activity.

I am sure that you have had experiences from DXM where YOU CAN'T FUCKING PEE BUT YOU HAVE TO. I only bring diphenhydramine into this because it caused me similar problems semi long-term. And I don't know, since you were a cough medicine junkie like myself, you've probably indulged in 'trippin with benny'.

Hope this helps.

This nigga knows what up ^

If you want, get Kelp granules to supply your dietary iodine. I buy mine from maine coast sea vegetables. "laminaria digitata" kelp. It's dirt cheap for a big bag. Kelp is loaded with iodine. And it's a natural food form as opposed to potassium iodide or lugols or nascent iodine or whatever. A fourth of a teaspoon per day is great maintenance.

TO MY PLAYA WITH THE DXM ISSUES...

SEVERELY LIMIT YOUR PROCESSED FOOD INTAKE.
LIMIT FROZEN FOODS, PROCESSED WHITE SALT, WHITE FLOURS, WHITE BREADS.

GET THE FRUIT AND VEG IN.

SOME THINGS THAT HAVE HELPED ME...

KELP
MAGNESIUM CITRATE AND MAGNESIUM OIL
SELENIUM
ZINC
B6
B COMPLEX
B12

Don't get a cold..you won't be able to take robitussin..lol..I'm joking..all the above seems like excellent advice from stimpy and high...I would 'like' these comments but the website needs someone to replace the button.

I appreciate all the good advice, I have been looking for something to promote my liver and pancreas health. Now I have what I need, thanks ALOT! The main reason I abused DXM was for the epiphanies! It was almost like I could see my future self and how to get rich and live a good life. There has been some of those epiphanies I have followed though with like with landscaping, and oddly enough they have brought me great joy! Like I said though I am not going to use it anymore. I have seen my future enough its time to live it. Also I have had my tango with Bennies always very weird. I just loved the high of DXM the strongest I ever had..... at the beginning of my addiction, and I have tried a lot of hallucinatory substances, DXM at least at the beginning was the STRONGEST BY FAR. Thanks for every ones help!

Good to hear dude.

Did Bennies ever allow you to create and compose your own music straight inside your head and listen to it? Everytime I took a high dose of Ben at night, I would start composing this long-ass song in my head and I could hear it. I was literally composing it and listening to it simultaneously. I always wondered if Ben did that to anybody else.

Milk thistle is a plant that does a TON for your liver. Much more than anything else as far as i know. It's fairly cheap if you look around. Your liver does repair itself slowly. Liv-52 is good also.

There are definitely jobs that will look past your background. (I do hiring) Increase your skills in something you like to do is my best suggestion. Find a trade and run with it.

If you're going to abuse drugs, abuse drugs, not a drug. Take a series of different drugs. Ketamine this week, LSD the next, then Mushrooms, then 2C-I. By taking an amazing assortment of drugs you reduce the potential for addiction to any particular one and you spread the physical damage across your body instead of hammering one particular organ. And never, ever take ACETAMINOPHEN.

As far as jobs go, the stupider the job, the more they look at your background. Wanna be a cashier at a gas station? Take a piss test, polygraph, background check. Wanna be a wall street hedge fund manager? Snort coke every day and have two martinis for lunch.

don't listen to this fool either. "don't take acetaminophen" but do take all the street drugs with what?? in them? idiot advice.

hey and guess what chap I've several good friends who make a very nice living and they either take hair follicle test get the job or/and they would have to take one if they ruined, wrecked or killed someone while working. also they went to secondary school to achieve this as they realy are not stupid guys and their jobs are excellent
