Laura-
The rate of processing varies with individuals based on their liver enzymes. Some of us are as much as ten per cent of normal and levels build quickly at normal doses.
The DXM is bi-phasic. A little works. A little more not only doesn't but actually has an opposite effect.
If I followed your pattern, I would freeze by the second day because my liver couldn't keep up as levels rose.
I'm currently taking a day off to clear and will next test a larger dose but just every other day.
