specific DXM question (need chemical expertise)

[tryptonaut]

Just got a pack of ratiopharm DXM cough suppressant capsules.
The package says each capsule "contains 30mg Dextrometorphanhydrobromide equalling 22mg Dextrometorphan"

So, the doses I read in different FAQs (like 1.5g/kg for a light trip) refer to Dextrometorphan and not Dextrometorphanhydrobromide, or the other way round?

Does the appearance of DXM as DXM-hydrobromide in any other ways affect the effects?

hmmm
well I when I took DXM I took uhm 5 pills of 30 mg of the same as you say
and it was a mild trippy effect, I planned to do 10 pills next time, but if never came to that so far

I expected to get good effect from that..
and I didnt experiences and bodily discomfort of any kind so

that's all I can tell you

it's the same thing, I don't understand... there's only Dextromethorphan hydrobromide which works. When we speak about DXM it's ever about Hydrobromide. So refer yourself to the dosage of DXM HYD.

yeah I recalled that's what they talk about on erowid aswell indeed

but because tryptonaut spoke of it as if he was pretty sure it was a different substance, I thought I might have had it wrong hehe
