Low dose DXM as a nootropic?

I've been wondering about this for a while. I understand there are benefits and drawbacks to frequent DXM use including potential language issues and derealization. I've tried low dose before but not over an extended period of time but I did notice a large boost in mood and motivation. DXM is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor as well as a decent anti depressant but isn't very well understood obviously since studies on it are only primarily focused on it's anti-tussive properties.
Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with DXM as a noot?

I've used low dose DXM a ton. It is a very useful substance. The dopamine, serotonin, and Sigma-1 effects provide rapid mood and motivation boosts. Also, the NMDA antagonism provides a quick tolerance reversal to stimulants/opioids. Taken in 30-60mg dosages for a week at a time provides the best results. There are countless reports of people getting good effects from low dose DXM. It's not dissociative till you get higher in the dosages.
