The final product, concentrated DXM in lemon juice, is extremely bitter. It can help to add 8 ounces of water and a couple teaspoons of sugar to alleviate the taste. | *'''The final product, concentrated DXM in lemon juice, is extremely bitter'''. This product will be more easily handled if it is cold, so refrigeration is recommended. It can also help to add 8 ounces of water and a couple teaspoons of sugar to alleviate the taste. Others prefer to reduce the volume as much as possible and "chase" it down, much like an alcohol shot. | ||
*'''Q: Why does the Agent Lemon smell like lighter fluid/ why am I tasting lighter fluid if I burp?''' | |||
A: The scent or taste you have is a result of the aromatic particulate of the lighter fluid remaining in your agent lemon. This is a very common occurrence if you have used lighter fluid, and does not mean that there is actually any lighter fluid let- Just that you'll have some nasty breath for a while. | |||
*'''Q: What is this sudsy/bubbly layer I have in my separation?''' | |||
A: You've probably used syrup containing guaifenesin- This is the aforementioned guaifenesin forming a oily layer in your mixture. It'll take around an hour or more, but it'll settle out and be fine to use. | |||
*'''Q: Drinking the mixture makes me retch! Can I take an antiemetic (Anti-nausea) such as Gravol, Diphenhydramine, or Cannabis beforehand?''' | |||
A: Some people have reported that a small amount of anti-histamine (Gravol up to 200, Diphenhydramine up to 100- According to experience reports) can help with nausea and gag reflex upon drinking agent lemon. If you take too much, however, it can lead to an entirely different drug trip (See: DXM and DPH in Combination). Cannabis may work for some as well, but taking both Cannabis and DXM can intensify and alter the trip as compared to DXM alone. | |||
