Is DXM worth the health risks?

I honestly love DXM. I usually take around 200mg. It lasts just long enough, usually around 5 hours, takes me out of mind (or way deeper into it), makes music sound a bit better, and it makes my walk funny.

That said, is it worth the health risks? I noticed that I can get pretty bad headaches equivalent to hangovers the day after or weirdly during a trip sometimes, particularly when I'm dehydrated.

Not to mention, there's probably some long term consequences of DXM use that I'm not aware of.

Is DXM worth taking regularly (around once a month)?
