Coricidin HBP -- First Three Times -- Me, Thee and a Packet o Trip C...and a plunger

Started when my friends heard about these cough medicine pills that, when taken, could get you trippin. Well, at that point i thought it was abit shady.
I mean, I smoke budha, drink constantly and have tried the others sparingly, though i wish i could try some more. Ive trippin of Syd twice and tried rolls once. Now, i had good times with all of these, but when they told me i should try these things, they called em "Trip C's", i was thinking "Yeah, ive been around, but im not desperate enough to have to do cough pills!"
But....then i tried them. I didnt trip, but what an experience! I had 8 trip C's my first time and i was amazed. The feeling at first starts with slight nausea, but quickly becomes a beautiful, world encompassing feeling of well being.
I was completely in love with life, and for me, thats something new. Nothing could get me down. I was floating on air. It was like a weed high times 10. People spoke to me and i didnt care. It was glorious.
I tried them again a few days later. This time i took 10. Again, the nausea moving to well being. But this time, my body took a change as well. My mind worked fine, i could understand what i wanted to say and how to say it and where i wanted to go and how to get there, but my body wouldnt do it.
It was like my body had a mind of its own and it didnt want to share consciousness with me. If i wanted to say something to a girl, which i normally would be too afraid to say, my body took me there and my mouth said it, often before i even realized it had come out!
Then came the last time i did trip C's. This happened about a week ago. I was with my friends, and this time, i took 12. I also had a few beers. If it were a normal situation, i would have had a great time. As it was, a girl i was with had also taken the trip C's.
Unfortunately, the feeling that it caused her scared her into causing herself to be so upset, she threw up. She had also been drinking earlier. I felt sorry for her and sat by her side, even in my wasted state, and took care of her till she was okay. Then we went home, i wandered in and went to bed.
Simply put, i cant wait till i can get my hands on some more trip C's. I would have to say, personally, that yes, you should try trip C's at least once.
I cant remember the name of the pills. Corricedon or something. They have 3 C's on the box and on the pills, which are small, circular and red. The come in sheets of 8, 2 sheets to a box.
Good luck and good times.
[Edit: I changed the original title (A Recolection- Me, Thee and a Packet o Trip C...and a plunger....) so it would comply with forum guidelines and be more descriptive. I added paragraph breaks and I also edited out a couple things. -C22]

I really hope you aren't the 16 year old kid whose name was in the paper over the weekend, for having his stomach pumped because he took 31 of these.
You are taking Coricidin HBP, cough medicine designed for people with high blood pressure. The reason you can trip off them is because they contain DXM, mixed with Chlorpheniramine, an anti-histamine. Don't you bother learning at least a marginal amount about what you are ingesting before you take it?
Please think about what you are doing next time, we don't want to hear about anyone else going to the hospital.
 
No sir, i was not in the paper, but you must be a fool to have taken 31 of these things, as anything over 12 or so it pushing it. My friend was going to take 14 and we stopped him, simply because we didnt know what the chances were of anything happening. Also, there really isnt much you can do to read about something when you are sitting in a car and a friend offers you something. If it as something alittle more dangerous, then yes, i might have researched it abit before allowing myself or my friends to try it. However, a simple 8-12 cough pills are not going to kill you. We may be young, but we arent completely stupid. Its relatively safe, as long as you dont do it to an obsessive amount, too often or with a combination of other drugs. Its also a hell of a lot safer than the things we could get our hands into around here.
Unlike many, we dont have the ability to just slide to some party, grab some rolls and be happy. We have to make due with what we have. Now you may say, why dont you just not do anything. Well, why does anyone use a drug? To get a high, which makes them feel good. We do the same thing. We have tried to stick to simple things, but we are running out of choices here. Stealing alcohol from our parental figures and trying to buy through older siblings got old REAL fast. Budha is on short supply these days in my area. So, we chose to try something. It didnt hurt us, and we know our limits. We will not surpass them. The max of these things that we will take is 12. No more. If you would like to take 30 some pills and come close to death, thats great, but you wont do it with us. Also, it should be common sense that you DONT take 30 pills, of any kind.
The fact is, that we cant always get something that we would prefer to get, so we have to make due. As for researching what we do, I personally, do, my friends are another story, and if i thought something would be a true danger mine or their health, i would not allow them to take it. However, as i have tried it, it does not harm you in small doses and it has not caused anyone any trouble thus far, i will continue to use them and recommend them to anyone that wants a cheap high. But i will give a dosage amount. Just like in any situation.
You can be forced to get your stomach pumped because of alcohol when taken in mass amounts. Other substances, you dont even have that chance, you just die.
What we are doing is alot safer than other things, so when you look down your nose at something, simply because it isnt a party drug, or meant as a substance to give you a high, dosnt mean that its a bad thing. Originally, coke was used as a dental tool to numb pain. People now use it as a drug. Things work out that way.
Thats the situation here.
Simply put, any substance taken to the extreme can hurt you, so please, for everyone's sake, dont OD on products. Take how much it takes to get you high, and leave it at that.
p.s. i am sad to hear that a young person was in the hospital. best wishes to the young man on recovery.

I think you are missing the point. If you do some research, you will find that the DXM in these pills is getting you high, and that you can get over the counter medicine (namely Robitussin) that has DXM as its only active ingredient. Taking medicine that has DXM as its only active ingredient is the safest way.
check http://www.erowid.org
Also, how did you know that 12 pills would get you high and not kill you? You can say "it would be stupid to do 30 pills, we would never do more than 12", but what would have happened if your friend had heard that 30 will get you a wicked high?. Would you then be saying "we would never do more than 30, it would be so stupid to do 60!". What would have happened if you got pills that contained more of the active ingredient?
My point being, if you are going to ingest 12 random pills out of a packet without having any idea what they are or what the effects are, you can't chastise someone who calls you stupid by responding, "we would never take 30".
It's really easy to do a bit of research.
BTW, nice trip report, I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for posting. I don't think the others are criticizing your desire to use drugs, but just trying to suggest some better ways to go about it. Anyway, good luck....
 
First off, thanks for sharing your report, and welcome to Bluelight.
Bluelight is a drug harm reduction discussion forum, so saying that you took Coricidin probably will get some replies like you did above. Coricidin IS dangerous, there are other safer ways to ingest DXM. Even if you are taking what you think is a safe dose of Coricidin pills, if you do this often, it is still going to fuck with your liver if done often.
Please read Erowids DXM Vault.
If you are not willing to read that, then AT LEAST read The Guide to DXM in Non-Prescription Drugs. This will tell you what DXM-containing cough medicines are safe to consume.
Another good page about DXM is http://www.third-plateau.org/ which also has a guide somewhere on it showing the safe medicines (with pictures).
I am not sure if the cough syrups (the safe ones like Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough Suppressant and CVS Tussin Maximum Strength Cough) are more expensive than Coricidin, so if money is a problem, and you are going to continue taking these dangerous pills, read a DXM extraction guide in Erowids DXM Vault, so you can extract the drug that is making you high/trip and not eat the other dangerous shit in it!
This is not in any way a flame, I am just trying to make sure people aren't risking their life just to trip for a few hours.
 
hehe, sorry about that last reply, i was actually abit drunk at the moment and angry about some other things. Just kinda came out wrong.
I thank ya for the info, didnt realize there was this much to read about stuff like this. The fact that we can extract this stuff is very interesting, im going to look into it.
Had i known of some of the sites that you mentioned, i may have looked into them more, however, being new here, i was abit uninformed.
Either way, thanks for the info.
 
2 things.
1. I just realized i left out a very important part of the story....the plunger!
Well, this was the second time. I was goin strong and we decided we needed some smokes. We stopped in the local CVS and grabbed some smokes. My job was to get some drinks whilst my one friend grabbed the smokes, my other friends grabbed the food and my last friend stared at the mirror above the sunglasses display.
I walked back to the refridgerated drink section, grab a bunch o waters and start to walk to the register. On the way, i stop for some reason, i cant remember why, and look to my right. I see a plunger. nothing special about it, just a regular toilet plunger. Cost 3 bucks or somethin. So i grab it and buy it.
All my friends are lookin at me in the car, and i realize this. I asked them why they were lookin at me and my friend, ill call him A, says, "Holt sh*t man, you bought a plunger..."
I look at the plunger and say yeah, yeah i did. Suddenly we all crack up.
Later, i found the joys of "plunging" in which you apply the plunger to your stomach or back, so that the sucking action is acheived, then pull away, leaving a really crazy feeling behind.
If you want a fun toy for a trip, grab a plunger. Very interesting.
2. K9, i really would like some info on extraction of the DXM. If you have AIM, gimme a yell as Manionbcrayz. otherwise just post somethin on here and ill try to find a way to contact you via email or somethin.
 
I took those twice..But I didn't know they could kill you so I won't be doing them anymore. I didn't care for them that much anyway.
 
why don't you just order pure DXM hbr powder from an online source? Then get yourself a scale, and weigh out doses that you want and trip off those! It's a lot cleaner, and healthier for your body to go pure. At least chug robo instead of being a complete dumbass and eating coriciden (sp?).
 
Coricidin is not something to be fucking with...Seriously...And if your going to,definitely,whatever you do-DO NOT DRINK WITH IT...My step-sister was a cunthair away from dying after taking a box(16)and drinking a bunch of vodka...Not to mention that it has fucked alot of people over around my area,where we've been taking that nasty nasty stuff for 4 years...They actually stopped carrying it in most stores around here because too many stupid kids were OD'ing on it and ending up in the hospital...The only reason anyone ever took it was because we couldn't get anything else...If you you can get anything else besides it,do it...Not worth it honestly...
DXM can be better...Just make sure you don't take anymore than 300 milligrams...650 about killed me and my buddy once...That stuff is so much more intense than Coricidin...
 
Well I myself haven't gone the coricidin tabs, prob cause they aren't available in Australia. But the other reason is after reading up on DXM, I decided that Robotussin DX was the far safer choice. The only active ingredient is Detromorphan Hrybromide, just plain DXM. After trying it out on 180mg of DXM I've found it to very pleasurable (Trip report coming soon), and if you've tried these coridicin tabs I'd suggest if you want to do DXM again then use Robotussin. There have been a fair few bad reports involving these things, mainly becuase of the anti-histamine (sp?)
Still good report, he he plunger, trippers should never go shopping :)
 
yall coricidin is the shit! I usually take only like 6 to 8..taking more is too much..i knew a guy who took like 50 + and it made him fuckin crazy..so its good when youre bored and easy to get to b/c its cough med. just make sure its little red pills and says coricidin HBP on it. Its about 10$ for a box of like 24. you get no hangover but it feels like your completely drunk ...maybe a little like Xanax
 
^^^^
that's some of the worst advice I've ever heard
YES, I've used coricidin.
NO, never use it! Especially if you value your health at all.
YES, it can be fun.
YES, it can easily and has easily caused serious harm.
NO, the damn fuckers should not include that antihistamine and let us have our fun!

Australians: Robotussin DX is indeed fine, but there are also some cheaper generic brands around with only DXM HBr as active ingredients. Do your homework here kids, and remember to STAY AWAY from anything with paracetemol, unless you're sick of having a liver: Australian medicines ;)

Holy shit! I thought I was the only one that ever took that stuff. That stuff is bad news, my buddies and I ate that stuff for 37 dayz straight, at least 16-60 per day. That shit is no joke, after that krazy binge of those and mixes of other stuff 3 yrs ago, those lil red bastards, I had a cold for 4 weeks, Alsmost died of numonia ( cant spell my bad), I can barely go near an asprin without gagging now. After the many times Ive done that garbage, I just remember thinking " I never thought you could forget to do something so simple as to walk" It was krazy it seemed like every 15 minutes or so you would forget everything that just happened and start a whole new day. i would go from happy to confused, violent to sleepy, to being wide awake at a flip of a dime. And its not like you just sleep it off, the fuzz lasts for like 2 days, the food tastes horrible, then after you know your getting a cold in a couple weeks. I cant even imagine what my brain looks like ..ughh Im not upset about all the drugs and combinations of stupidity i did in my life, but Im glad as fuck I was able to chill myself out with all the drugs in general. Being through all my adventures from here (Buffalo,NY) to cali to NYC and back, im glad I seen everything I dont want to be. This is starting to sound like an afterschool special hahaha.
Peace
