Default The Dextromethorphan Craze: helpful drugs going untested by scientific community?

Funny to me that so harmless a substance has so many street nicknames: Orange Crush, Triple C's, C-C-C, Red Devils, Skittles, DXM, Dex, Vitamin D, Robo, Robo-trippin', Robo-dosing. One visitor from another forum speaks of the possibility of attracting the store's attention to higher-volume use--what about the effect of higher dosage on the human body? Will our friends here get habituated to their small doses and start taking more and more to get the same effect? I asked about long-term ill effects on another thread and received no reply, so perhaps this aspect has been discussed to death while I was out having the flu.

Are we sure we want to be recommending continuous use of a non-standard application of a drug to any and all seekers? Do folks really think their doctors don't already know about these effects of this drug? I'm not much for fads, and I believe the scientific method is an improvement over the dark ages, so count me out.

Readers (a.k.a. lurkers to some), please be aware that we have no doctors here and only one research scientist that I know of. Please discuss or at least mention your use of this or any "additional" or "supplemental" medication with your PD doctor.

Personal comment: By my estimate, we've all been "cured" by wishful thinking about once a week since my diagnosis eight years ago. Somebody get out there and try all the other cold and flu remedies, too, now that our archives are gone. Yes, real drugs that can help us are on the shelves. Do you think the scientific community likes it that way? They are new, scientifically developed drugs going untested for lack of clinical trial volunteers.
