DXM, when consumed in low recreational doses (usually under 200 mg), is described as having a euphoric effect. With higher doses (about 400 mg), intense euphoria (or dysphoria), vivid imagination, and closed-eye hallucinations may occur. With very high doses (600 mg and over), profound alterations in consciousness have been noted, and users often report out-of-body experiences or temporary psychosis. Frequent and long-term usage at very high doses can lead to toxic psychosis and other permanent psychological problems. Most users find such high doses to be extremely uncomfortable and are unwilling to repeat them. Flanging (speeding up or slowing down) of sensory input is characteristic at any recreational dosing level.
In 1981, a paper by Gosselin estimated the lethal dose to be between 50 and 500 mg/kg. It is generally accepted that the antidote to DXM overdose is naloxone, administered intravenously.
