My my name is Jack, and im addicted to cough syrup. It might sound funny but its true. Lots of young kids use this drug in club seens. THe effects of an 8oz dose make you feel calm and relaxed like codine(at least thats what is dose to me). Euphrea is what probably what hooked me. The biggest problem is that i can get it at my local supermaket for 3 bucs generic brand and it has the same ingrediant. Please, if there are other adults out there with the same problem please reply. Im 27 year old male, and you may have heard of kids abusing this drug but, adults as well could abuse this drug.

I just felt it was necessary to let others know that DM can kill you instantly.
I had a severe allergic reaction to it in my teens and almost died. I have never touched any cough med with DM in it, since. It scares me to think people get high off this stuff. Especially if they don't know about the allergy alert. | ||

I just turned 27 this year. I have been using cough syrup since I was ten. I became dependent on it around the age of 18. I went into treatment at 19. It didn't last. Somewhere around 23 I ended up homeless at the salvation army. I've entered several treatment clinics, but it never lasts. I feel so isolatedl I have no one to relate to. I didn't know if I was crazy, lazy, selfish, if this behaviour was becase I was a substandard human being. I met a guy who changed everything. I confessed my addiction to him and he said he understood. He had been addicted to it for five years. I thought he was just playing me to have sex or something. I called him on it, but he started listing symptoms that I had . Trembling hands, ringing in the ears, body stone, spending half my life in the bathroom with diareah. loss of appitite, and the hot sweats. my room was never cool enough. I thought omigod. Im not a wrong person. it was the coughsyrup that caused all that. I wasnt' worthless or truly f***ed up. It's been a battle ever since. but at least I know that Im not some crazy loser, but Im a surviver! every f***ing day I survive.. dagnyaynz@hotmail.com

Young people, it was not too long ago that I had heard about the DXM abuse, and I'm a recovering heroin addict. I thought I knew it all. Plus I was calling it DMX, and my neighbor said "Ummm. That's a rap star". I'm old.
Please, please, please tell someone if you are doing this or please, please stop if that's even an option. I know this may fall on deaf ears, but it breaks my heart to know kids are out there doing this stuff. Once my friend gave her little boy cough medicine when he was about five years old. It had the big DM on the front. This kid started talking in ryhmes, and walking in circles. It was like he was posessed. She's actually a drug/alcohol counselor, and was very careful with the dosage. We figured he had some sort of allergy to it or something. So I guess back then not even a counselor was educated on this stuff. After reading this I bet he was tripping on it the poor child. My one friend has five kids, and she said she never heard a child speak every single word in rhymes like that. Needless to say that was the last time he was ever given that. Know adults care. Please. They should do more talks on this at schools, and I know for a fact in my area this is not included in the assemblies. | ||

DXM abuse over alonmg period is linked to Olneys Lesion on the Brain.. rather than get technical i will just tell you that it turns your brain into swiss cheese.
Stay away from DXM if you can and any dissociative drugs like PCP, Ketamine, Nitrous Oxide. -------------------- A Buddhist Lama once said to me, "Do the opposite of whatever I tell you." So I didn't. Get Help for Codeine Addiction Here | ||

I personally haven't done the DXM thing but I was with someone that did it for about 6 months and it was a very scary experience . He would do Dr.Jeckyl and Mr . Hyde . He would hear voices , hallucinate , suffer from paranoia . I would have days where I walked on eggshells . He was very unpredictable . He thought it was cool to get a buzz and not relapse into alcohol . But he did in fact relapse into alcohol 2 months later . Anyone out there abusing DXM needs to stop . It is a extremely dangerous thing to get into . Thanks S

although im mostly a pills person i often use cough syrup to get high. i do DXM or kids around my area refer to it a robotrippin, i also use night time cough syrup in a stubstitue to sleeping pills if im out. its cheap and easily eccessable, even for a 17 year old to get their hands on.
