About three days ago I started chugging cough medicine and taking way more than i should to get high off of it. i cant stop. i think im addicted to it already because ive been takin about one bottle every 24 hrs because i love the feeling i get off of it and now i dont know what to do because im getting hooked on it. please...i really need some advice because even tho its only been 3 days i cant stop and i kno it will probably turn into an addiction because even this morning i took a half of bottle and i just got to school and im just waiting for it to start to kick in. i really dont want this to be a regular thing. any one have any advice for me???

In high doses they react in your liver, completely ruining it. You'll then have 2 weeks of extreme, agonizing pain, before you die. So get rid of it like the people below me say, or at least extract the DXM from the syrup so it's not as dangerous.

ASAPcamille answered Tuesday April 17 2007, 12:26 pm: Get all of the medicine you have, and dump it down the toilet and flush it away. You HAVE to do this now, or else you are right- it will become an addiction. I read in a magazine that a boy died because he had too much cough syrup, and this is how he got hooked. Sit and think about what you want to do with your life, and it is better to stop now than later. You NEED to stop, just flush it and move on with your life.
