Since their introduction, over-the-counter preparations containing the drug dextromethorphan have been used in a manner inconsistent with their labeling, often as a recreational drug, to induce intoxication.[11] Dextromethorphan has little to no psychological effect in the doses used medically, however alteration of consciousness generally occurs following ingestion of approximately 7 to 50 times the therapeutic dose over a relatively short period of time.[11]

Slang terms for DXM often correlate to the brands of cough medicine used, such as "tussin", "robo", "dex", "triple C's", and "skittles". Recreational use of DXM is frequently referred to in verb form as "dexing," "tussing," "robing", "roboing", or "robotripping".

Due to abuse and theft concerns, many retailers have moved it behind the counter, so that one must ask a pharmacist to receive it.

You drink way too much of a certain cough syrup (not going to tell you) and you feel very strange and have trouble urinating for like an hour.
