How many people die per year from abusing cough meds?

[WVa]

For years hard core addicts loved to "go to doctor for conjestion problems and get cough syrup with codine in it - now that was a popular one. I know that I take nerve medicine and can't mix it with decongestants and cough syrups, etc. so there has to be some type of drug in the medicine that interacts. I've even heard of folks who would "open up extra strength tylonel - mash it up in a cup and get a straw and snort away. I knew of guy who tried to commit suicide by overdosing on tylenol and had to have his stomache pumped - he almost did die from it.

Well I know kids used to "huff exhaust pipes of cars when running or even sniffed pure gasoline". And drunks drank after shave that had alcohol in it !! I think they were shutting bathroom doors at home and spraying deodarant and sniffing it too. There was something called "locker room" that you could snort and get high about a minute - but it was cheap and you could just keep doing it as long as you wanted.

No matter what ya do - there is a product out there that can be abused !!!

Very few, taken intelligently. To overdose on DXM typically requires someone drink at least 2 grams -- around 7 bottles. Most overdoses and accidents from DXM syrup come from people using medicines where Dextromorphan HBr is not the only primary ingredient. A bottle of just DXM syrup is relatively safe. When the syrup includes Guafenisin or Acetomenophin is when the risks skyrocket.

people die from taking advice from people like you. 2,000mg or 7 bottles of DXM HBr will kill you, the common doasge is 300mg, which is 1 6oz 177ml bottle of Vicks 44.
Get your facts straight, because not knowing doasges reallty is a life and death situation

Sorry about your father moonstruck. driving is definitly something you don't want to do on DXM. i've started a habitual dextro usage. but my tollarance has afforded me a little leaawy with driving. i sip on about 4oz of dex a day. usually start out with 30 ml (one of the measuring cups) in shot form then mix another 30 ml and sip on that in either a mountain dew (code red, or some of the new Amp energy drinksmix well with it)or anything that mixes with cherry usually works...vicks i've noticed has a distinctive menthol taste, i've yet to try mixing it with any kind of soda. about 2 or 3 hours after my first 60 ml the buzz watres off and i drink another 60 to 120 ml.i don't suggest doing it everyday like me. but i have a problem drinking alcohol. i get very aggitated and always wanna shove coke or meth in my system when i'm drunk. so to avoid this i've given up the booze and replaced it with the Dex.

lol HAPPY DEXING!:D

oh P.S. I DO NOT suggest a HARD ROBO-Trip without weed to level out some. anyone who's had a bad lsd knows the importance of pot when your trippin balls. same concept here. At least thats my opinion :D

[DeWeY420]

as i surfed away from this blog page..i decided to come back and say one more thing. Robo-Tripping is fun. Robo-Sipping is also very therapeutic..at least for me. But besides sounding and prolly looking like a complete idiot on a good trip, there's another possible side effect i forgot to mention. i'm not sure but for me Robotussin gives me pretty bad abdminal pains..sparatically. and obvisouly their not enough for me to stop. however, if you don't like an upset stomach you might not want to try DXM. That being said most of the tussin i've been drinking has an active ingredient of Guaifenesin, this might be the cause of my abdominal pains..maybe just gas. either way i've switched to vicks 44 cough with just the dextromethorphan Hbr and i'm going to see if this helps my stomach problems. LAST THING- Know what your drinking with DXM. My first time tryin to Robo-Trip i bought just regular robotussin not the DM and also some gel caps. didn't figure the acetametaphen in both were that big a deal..well they ARE! my first robo-trip i ttok close to half the lethal dose of tyelenol which is i believe 3000 mgs. so YES a whole 4 oz bottle of Children's Tylenol will KILL YOU. or a t he very least send you to the ER. my first trip was spent curled up in the fetal position for 8 hours thinking i was going to die. Rightly so. I felt like i was dieing. AGAIN...

HAve fun. Trip balls. but do it respectfully. I believe DXM is the closest to any narcotic hallucinagen i've ever taken. and i've tekan alot.
Like any Triphead will tell you. Trip in a safe environment. with people you trust, and for the love of GOD(s) DO NOT OPERATE AN AUTOMOBILE!!!!

Here's an idea, take cough medicine only if you have a cough and then follow the directions on the bottle. If you need to get high, just get high on life. Stay out of the emergency room getting your stomach pumped, stay out of rehab, stay out of jail.

you guys all need jobs get a damn life and grow up dear god

Oh my God all you people who are against tripping, get over yourselves, cough medicine abusers are gonna trip if they want to, and there is nothing you can do about it. I do disagree with operating a car however, and moonstruck I am sorry about your father. But.. half of you people on this site don't know how the trips feel. They are completely amazing. So, until you know what it is like, stop your bitching.
