Dextromethorphan (DXM) is especially dangerous when abused because it can cause severe dissociative effects and hallucinations at high doses. Users may underestimate its potency, leading to overdose, which can result in respiratory depression, increased heart rate, and even death. Additionally, DXM is often mixed with other substances in recreational settings, increasing the risk of adverse interactions and complications. Its availability in over-the-counter cough medicines can also contribute to misuse, especially among adolescents.
