I could have told the FDA that LOTS of people abuse cough and cold med’s…

But what are the long/short term side effects? Are there any?

I have heard that the muscle twitches that cause your eyes to ‘wiggle’ while high on cough med’s can become permanent… I know you can OD on it like any other medication…

But I have never heard of any other consequences of cough med abuse.

Can you get addicted to it? Does it destroy any of your organs?

You hear about how Ecstasy&Meth destroy your brain, how heroin is so very addictive…Yet I haven’t heard anything about the most abused & easily obtainable substance on the market!

Does anyone know what abusing Cough Syrup actually does to your body?

Cough Syrup, Triple-C, Evil Skittles, Hundreds of names, Abused at 1 time or another by everyone I know.

But what are the negative consequences?
(OTHER then driving high.)
Oh, and YES, I have abused it in the past… I didn’t know it was possible until there was a news story about it on NBC.

It makes you hallucinate and enter a delirium where you can even forget who you are… I have never seen so much as when I was on Coriciden-D Cough Medication.

I was about 15 when I first tried it…

My friends and I used/abused it every other weekend for a while… We only stopped when our tolerance got too high and we were afraid we would OD.

I haven’t done it in more then 4 years and had not done if for at least 3 years before that…
