Regarding the cough syrup...(I'm only on page 20/21 so if this has been mentioned I apologize in advance) DXM is known for having different levels of its various effects. The lower levels being an interesting floaty high feeling. Moving on to levels 3 and 4 you start to hit full on disassociation. I believe this is where people also start to get into what I believe is considered astral projection/mysticism.

This would severely exacerbate his symptoms in ways people who have never used dissociatives can even dream of. I can see it straight up being a drug that furthers his belief of finding a portal to Equestria. Let's hope he doesn't experiment with ketamine. That would be bad. Both DXM are incredibly psychologically addictive whereas alcohol is mostly a physical addiction. I couldn't even begin to touch on how this kind of drug abusers would react with someone who clearly suffers from schizophrenia. It's scary. It really is.

Please note it has been a VERY long time since I've been into reading up on DXM as we as a using the drug so may info may be slightly off with regard to the levels and whatnot. I did do a quick google search just to verify the terms.

I really hope this guy will be ok. It was really kind of heart breaking reading through this thread but of course I couldn't stop myself once it got started. Whereas say someone like ForeverKailyn I am barely able to muster up any sympathy, this guy I just feel a deep ache in my chest for. He is so ill and so far gone. It's really kind of mind blowing to see it all happening in realtime.

He's a brony. He's filth.

It's also remarkably unpleasant. IMO the only reason people do this on purpose is they don't have access to anything with similar effects. The doses required to get extreme effects are also physiologically toxic, with a number of ugly side effects. Anyone out of high school who still does shit like this really needs to get a life.

 

[The Giver]

Hopefully he'll be using those firearms

In Ponyland, you don't need to use guns

People will get high on whatever they can no matter what the effects are.

Hell I knew a guy back in high school that used to get high on nutmeg simply because he could. It didn't matter that the after effects weren't worth the effort. He just wanted to get high and that was the only thing that drove him.

Hopefully, he'll take them with him to Equestria, and set the next season of My Little Pony off in an exciting new direction!

"Hey there everypony, it's me Taxman *hold up plushie* and my husband Curio"

This has got to be the best opening to a video that I have ever seen

 

[GRANDAD]

has anyone ever asked him how his husband feels about his ex being around all the time?

 

[Shugo]

Taxman says consume this and that he won't be poisoned by it, since it doesn't have acemetophin or other crap in it.

 

[niggers]

polistirex tho

thats not regular dxm, it's coated in plastic (okay, not literal plastic, but i'm not a chemist goddamn). 12-hour relief. it's slow release. he'll just have a shitty-day long trip instead of a decent 3 hour one.

 

[Sanshain]

Isn't cough syrup also a sedative? I remember once when I had a nasty cold I managed to mix up regular cough syrup with my mother's extra-strong formula and inadvertently took around four times the usual dose. I slept the entire weekend; literally thirty hours straight. Plus, in the UK at least, packages come with very strong warnings regarding possible kidney and liver damage from prolonged or excessive consumption. There anything to this to your knowledge, @AhoyFancyPants?

 

[The Oddball from MLW]

Is it me, or is Tax displaying the signs of the grieving process?
Denial: Tax denies that his plans won't work, he also denies he has problems with alcohol and takes little responsibility for why people left his forum.

Anger: Tax is stressed and paranoid about a lot of people. He also gets angry when people accuse him of being crazy or addicted.

Bargaining: Tax is realizing that his plans may truly not work, so he believes that any universe will be better than this one. He also believes that in the case Armageddon happens before his project is finished, he could survive just long enough to cross over.

Depression: Tax is just entering this stage; he is really upset over a lack of progress and how he feels he's being held back.

Eventually, he may come to terms with life and see the error of his ways.

 

[AnOminous]

More likely his constant drinking has just frozen him in place. He's not going to get better until he gets worse in all likelihood.

Depends on the syrup
High dose DXM has a sedative action, but most people who use it according to label instructions don't have that issue.
In the UK, codeine is used as an OTC cough syrup, I believe, and is likely to cause sedation.
In the US, we tend to mix diphenhydramine(Benadryl) into our "PM" cough syrups, which makes you sleepy.
We also really like to add alcohol to it here.

 

[Bassomatic]

This last video he's drunk enough to be an entire episode of Cops...
If you are sober, you have a problem... that sounds like some backwards projection doesn't it?
Also there is no Ruger SR-7, he's so drunk he doesn't know his own fire arm and has to google it. He's a negative stereotype of fire arm ownership.
Thankfully his mother took said gun after he last tried to off himself. His firearm info seems to be based in respounting memes.
The idea the world ends and he's going to use his employee discount to hoard booze and sell it is as baffling as upsetting.
Saying "you need to be like me" my liver said "plz bassomatic don't be like taxman I want to live".

I like Taxman's mom so far.

If the syrup has acetaminophen you would definitely not want to consume in high doses since acetaminophen (Tylenol) is very toxic to the liver. As far as Taxman goes let us hope that he is consuming it without. I can only imagine how pissed off his organs already are at this point.

Supposedly dissociatives can lead to Olney's Lesions. It's been a really long time since I've read in depth on the subject though and there may be more conclusive information nowadays.

Since DXM is a dissociative it would contribute to grogginess and being sick would definitely exacerbate your sleepiness. Whenever I had done DXM or ketamine (also a dissociative) in the past I always had some trouble sleeping though admittedly I was doing it for the sake of being inebriated and to escape from the hellish dark place that mind was during those years. Depression is fun for everyone!

Fun fact: DXM is known for causing an interest in water. Namely being in it. No clue why.

I wish I could expand further but my mind is blanking at the moment. Probably from all the DXM my dumb ass consumed as a troubled bored suburban youth.

 

[Realism]

Taxman should stop incriminating himself.

 

[Poptart Pissbaby]

It's kind of terrifying that every time Tax started talking about his beloved Ruger he formed his hand into the shape of a pistol and started banging it against his forehead.

 

[glass_houses]

I can't fathom how he keeps spiraling further down without his parents being aware that they have a ticking timebomb just a few feet away. I would be scared shitless if I lived with him. What the hell? I'm really just mind blown at this point.

Pretty much this. Sometimes a person with a mental illness or disorder can manufacture something I like to call 'a human suit'. I've seen it a number of times and indeed, I've had to make my own. In surface interactions or formal settings it's easier (but not easy) to maintain a structure within a structured situation. When you're with friends or family, because there's little to no structure it's much harder to keep the suit on. Interactions are spontaneous, not scripted, with the additional complication that friends and family have both a good amount of knowledge of how you 'should' be acting and a vested interest in your welfare. But the sicker you get the harder it is to maintain the suit and when you throw intoxicants into the situation all bets are off.

My guess is that they either don't give a fuck so long as Taxman stays safely hidden away in the basement where the neighbours can't see him, or else they're confused and genuinely can't figure out a way to get him treatment, with a side order of being terrified of what the crazy man might do to them if they try and interfere.

I'm actually inclined to take the second option. Mental illness is one hell of an animal and, unless there's a genetic history of it already in the family, it's hard for a person to come to grips with the idea that their loved one is truly batshit insane as opposed to just being a weird alcoholic.
