My friend has been taking pills that some, or many of you, are familiar with. The street name are "triple c's" or "skittles". I think theyre called 'Coridicin Cold and Cough' or something, and what gives people their 'high' is the dextrophine or something close called that. Well, She steals them out of walgreen every day and swallows about 16 of them every day or every other day. I, myself, have only taken 6 in my life and I learned it was a very stupid decision and that I will never take them again! But my friend on the other hand, I think, is becoming very dependent on them. Shes been doing this for about a month or two, every day taking more. She keeps telling me and herself that she'll stop but she just won't. She is my best friend and im really concerned about her health and what permanent effects these pills can have on her. So what i need is some info and/or sites that give me the dangers, etc. of taking these pills. Thank you guys so much i want to help her. (link)

I did some research on some government and education sites.
Side effects of Dextromethorphan (DXM):
Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and allergic reactions, Hot flashes, dizziness, and bad trips, Psychotic breaks, Psychological addiction and depression, Irreversible brain damage, coma, and death.
Irreversible brain damage, coma, and death are rare cases, but still possible. I hope you can help your friend.
