Extracting DXM HBr from Sucrets lozenges Sucrets lozenges are a good and very cheap source of DXM. They can be hard to find, though. When you do find them, you should be aware that they come in a blue bag, not in a tin (just as stated below). Each bag contains 20 lozenges with 15mg of DXM in each lozenge. In total, each bag contains 300mg of DXM. Here is a method on how to extract DXM from these lozenges. It was submitted by ^Diámoñd^. To extract DXM from Sucrets is very simple. First of all, you must make sure that you have the kind of sucrets that are in the bag (they say dextromethrophan HBR) , and not the little tin. To extract, first you must crush up the sucrets (20 per bag) and put them in a cup or bowl of warm water. Then put the cup into the microwave, and continualy let it go for 1 minute intervals, stiring in-between, until the sucrets are totally dissolved. There should be a powdery looking substance on the bottom of the cup or bowl. This is the DXM, because DXM Hbr is not water soluble. From here, you can do 1 of 2 things. -======================= [ Comment ] =======================- (the following is not the author's words, just a revision) Solubility for DXM HBr in water is 1.5mg/100mL at 25 C That means for every 100ml of water at room temperature, 1.5mg of DXM HBr will dissolve in it. -======================= [ Comment ] =======================- 1. Siphon the excess water out of the cup/bowl leaving the powder behind. Then take the (probably wet) powder from the cup and put it into a liquid (orange juice, etc..) and Drink UP! 2. Take the whole thing (water included) and dump it though a stack of coffee filters. Then take the coffee filters and put them on a plate, and microwave it till the coffee filters are dry. Then crunch up/scrape etc.. until the now dry DXM falls off the coffee filters. Now you can put the powder in empty caplets and swallow. Woolah! you have pure DXM HBR Note: This is not freebase, just the pure DXM Hbr powder. Also, with the length of this it may seem a little complicated, but it is umbeliveably simple. Much much much easier than the acid-base extraction listed on the DXM FAQ. Also, I don't know if he originally invented it, but credit for this process should go to Melph on #DXM, because he's the one who told me how to do it...
