Due to its complex pharmacology, dextromethorphan exhibits nonlinear relationship between dosages and effects. ''A few more sentences go here.'' | |||
===Plateau 1=== | ===Plateau 1=== | ||
The first plateau is characterised by [[stimulation]] and feelings of [[Empathy, love, and sociability enhancement|empathy and love]] towards others, comparable to low doses of [[entactogen]]s, with additional effects of very slight dissociation manifested by sensory and motor effects.

Doses required for reaching plateau 4 are commonly considered to be above 15 mg per kilogram of body weight. It is not recommended to exceed 20mg/kg. Mixing dextromethorphan with central nervous system [[depressants]] at such doses is especially dangerous due to a remarkable risk of respiratory depression.<ref>Deaths due to abuse of dextromethorphan sold over-the-counter in Pakistan - Humera Shafi et al. | http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2090536X15000672</ref> | Doses required for reaching plateau 4 are commonly considered to be above 15 mg per kilogram of body weight.

===Plateau Sigma=== | ===Plateau Sigma=== | ||
Reaching plateau sigma is '''not recommended''' due to a significantly higher risk of mania and psychosis. It is commonly considered to be unpleasant. | |||
Plateau sigma is not dosage based unlike the previous plateaus. It is reached by prolonging the experience via redosing. | Plateau sigma is not dosage based unlike the previous plateaus. It is reached by prolonging the experience via redosing. | ||
