dextrophine
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.<3

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
If I were you, I would tell someone who can help her. I know, easier said than done, but you really need to. If you care about her and she's your best friend then you would. Even if she gets mad or hates you or whatever, you need to tell someone. It's better to have someone you love hate you for doing what will help them, then to have them die. PLEASE, please, please, take my advice. It's the right thing to do.

You need to help your friend. You need to tell someone she can get serious hurt/die. Maybe telling someone would make her mad at you and she wont want to be your friend anymore but what if you didnt tell anyone and she dies from overdose? You will prob feel even worse for not telling.
Tell someone you trust. parents hers or yours. guidance conselour at school. The police.
I hope i helped, but do the right thing :)

Your friend needs help.
You clook up the effects,but you really need to take action. Now, Tell her parents please. Drugs are serouis, and i wish my brother ( a herion addict of 3 years) had, had a friend like you to have had this chance to save him. Please, tell somebody, She's starting up her addiction and you can serouisly help it, I really wish you do tell her parents. She's already stealing, and stuff and it really only gets worse from there.
I'm 12 I've had to suffer from my brothers addiction, and its pretty bad, I've beens stolen from by him, lied to him by him. And 2 months, she can really help make it stop, and shes really young. Shes already lying to you and herself by saying shes going to stop and she doesnt. Please tell and adult, fast

ytou could find the exact name of the drug and google it,but you should and shouldn't tell someone[police,etc.]it could be serious and she could overdose and die,but you don't want her to get mad at you for telling and get her sent to a clinic and you will lose a friend.you have to decide what is more important

I know this is going to sound kind of mean, but your friend does need help. Tip off someone at the store that she steals from. She'll get caught and it will at least be a start. After she gets caught you should talk to her about it and tell her that she needs to get help. Give her suggestions, tell her where to go. She may do it after realizing some of the negative consequences of what she is doing. Right now she is only focusing on how good the pills make her feel and is blind to everything else. If she refuses to get help even after getting caught at the store you need to step in. Tell a counselor at your school and that will set the wheels in motion and hopefully get her the help that she needs. This is a really tough situation to be in and so far you're doing a really great job at being a friend. I hope that everything gets worked out and good luck.

Well CCC can really hurt you bad... just like any other drug it kills brain cells and it can cause black outs... just like young grandma said.. tell her mom or walgreens.. let them see her with them.. because they'll be able to punish her for it.. don't keep quite because it can lead to a funeral! If you need sites about CCC just google it.. alot of good sites are on there and you can learn alot about it..
Hope I helped,

Here you go. Hope they help your friend out. If she continues you need to tell her mom. If you really want an eye opener for her, tell Walgreen's what shes up to and let them catch her at it. That's pretty drastic but it may take drastic. Anything is better than a funeral.
Good luck. :)

Of course, there is the obvious: brain damage. Also side effects can include vommiting, hot flashes, diarha (sp?), dizziness, ect. The best thing to do is tell someone who can get her help about it. Ask to stay anynomus so she won't get mad at you. If someone knows she can get help.

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.
