"(Coricidin / 64 pills) - Veteren - My coricidin story. The one ill always remember"

[phishy2]

The use of DXM to get high has been around for years, at least back into the 80's, when you had to search thru dusty old books to find what little info was out there.
Yes, kiddies, we were fooling around with this before the internet existed!!!!

ive eaten two bottles of gels before, at once, does that mean i dont understand?
its fucking cough medicine.
i can get real psyches so i dont bother.

DXM is just as much a psychedelic as LSD or 2C-B. Just because it's available in the store doesn't make it anything less.. -_-'

To the OP, you are lucky to be alive. You reached what is referred to as the plateau sigma, and you may have well went beyond that if it's even possible.

I took 80 coricidin one time, it was an attempt of suicide. As a matter of fact, I had a report of it published on erowid. I took them all at once though. If I would have did what you did, I wouldn't be alive to share this experience..

Guaifenesin

Pseudoephedrine (Hydrochloride)
High doses of pseudoephedrine can cause irregular heartbeat, headaches, difficulty breathing, anxiety, and seizures. Though some people use pseudoephedrine recreationally, there is too much pseudoephedrine in these products to use them as a source for DXM.

If you enjoy bleeding from every oriface and fts of epilepsy at warped tour than I must really be out of touch with the youth of today.

I'm 26. I went to warped to once or twice. Fuck, I didn't even know they still HAD warped tour anymore.

This is probably the worst case of negative set and setting I've ever seen. Taking recumbloodbelching cough medicine in doses high enough to kill a small deer at a skateboard festival. I'm sorry if I sound like a critical asshole, its just that I am and that's how it comes out.

You can't make this shit up, kids. The best fiction is always journalism. Hands down.

 

[xHippiexchildx]

I honestly don't think the OP made it up. I used to take coricidin and go to punk shows all the time. Moshing on coricidin is insane. I quite enjoyed doing this though. It never put me in a bad trip. Now it probably would though..

 

[CrackAndScrabble]

Yea, that was honestly one of the most entertaining reads i've had in awhile. haha there is no way someone can make that shit up

When you start to get past 1500mgs of dxm, especially with the CPM, you completely leave your body for hours, and travel to other planets.

That's why everything the OP said was confirmed in my mind, as i've experienced this before. The OP had a very high plateau sigma. The OP should be DEAD. Anyone who takes that 2 fourth plateau doses like that not at one time, the survival rate is probably 1-5%.

The only way I see that you lived through this is that you have a higher power looking after you.. there is no earthly explanation for it in my mind. Even if your tolerance was high, that many coricidin spaced out that long could kill 5 FULL GROWN HORSES.

. I'm not proud, but I completely abuse DXM, especially Saint Johnson's cough and cold since it comes with 24. At the moment I only take fifty and I up my dosage each time. But I take tolerance breaks of about a month or two so as to prevent myself from having to down so many of those wretched pills. But before my first break, I had reached a dosage of eighty pills that I took regularly for a few days or so. And recently (October) I reached my lucky number eighty. So either I'm a superhuman or some people are stronger than others. It wasnt a suicide attempt I assure you It was me just trying to get high. Because anyone who abuses DXM knows, you can't take 12 one day and then 12 the next(or at least that's how it works with me) I don't know much about DXM except it fucks you up and just about every ingredient. This girl right here is someone I'd love to get fucked up on cori with.
