Perhaps for harm reduction purposes the plateaus of DXM should be mentioned in the main summary at the top. Since, for example I used to weigh ~115 - 125 pounds back in my early 20s; and 391.2mg for me would be a 3rd Plateau. Whereas for an individual who weighs ~~220~~ pounds, a 3rd Plateau would be ~~738~~.~~45mg~~. Which is a '''''~~347~~.~~25mg~~''''' difference for reaching the intensity of a 3rd Plateau between different people; and this example could be even more extreme for someone who is underweight ''(I am 5'8 so 115lbs is only underweight by 1bmi)'' versus someone who is overweight. It would also be noted that these dosages are for DXM HBr which is 2x the potency & 0.5x the duration of DXM Polystyrex, so someone who is used to taking Polystyrex doesn't accidentally take a much larger dose than they want.
