Can you buy DM without any other ingredients?

The only one I know of is Delsym.
It is a liquid. Formulated with a resin for 12 hr actions. It is expensive and it gave me diarrhea. ( I cannot tolerate fructose or sugars, and this is sweetened with both). I actually like the guaifenesin...it helps with my sinuses and ear problems. The tablets are much less nauseating than the liquid cough form typically called Tussin DM (Robitussin DM). I am still coughing like crazy.. it alarms my husband when at 2am I start again (the tablet wears off by then)...but the stuff I cough and blow out is clear and not infected. Just nuisance phlegm. Because of the abuse of DM by kids now...it is hard to find a DM product that you can afford. Both Costco and Sam's no longer sell the generic Tussin DM. At 80mg/24 hrs, I still have foot relief. I can tell when it wears off too. 4am and no tablet, and my feet start to hurt again. So around 2am I get up and take my 4 th dose of the 24 hr period. DM is contraindicated for people taking any TCA (Elavil) or SSRI antidepressant including Cymbalta, or any MAO inhibitor.

I see a Robitussin pill that contains only dextromethorphan - do you think it's the combination of that and the guaifenesin that's helping your feet, or just the DM?

is a Robitussin cough DM gel cap. There is also Coricidin HBP, but that has chlorpheniramine added to it. Also hard to find here, because of the abuse by kids.
I could not find it in stores near me. I have limited shopping time because I am still sick. I sent hubby out, and he could not find it. You might find it on Drugstore.com A friend of mine works at RiteAid and she said they haven't had Robitussin cough gels for months. (this might be a regional thing... ) I don't think the guaifenesin is working on the feet. I don't know why, but I think it is the DM. I've never taken so much before. The first couple of days, I was a bit "high"...but now I have no effects like that. At first I had to take some Benadryl 25mg because of the endless sneezing. But I am no longer using that either.
