Hi, Im 15, female, and I began taking my coriciden last year when I was a freshman. The last time I took it a few months ago I took 22. I want to explain to you what happened to me. It wasnt fun.

I took them a couple hours before I went to bed because I was depressed or something. Everytime I have taken coriciden before bed weird stuff happens when Im sleeping. I would wake up like a million times and I had the weirdest dreams and trips, and everyhting just seemed so unreal but in a bad way.

It wasnt a high people. Also let me rewind fo a second to about 20-30 minutes after you take them, well you heart rate will dramatically increase.. and i dont remember how long this lasts because I have taken them in a long time.

But anyways, the next day I woke up and I remember trying to get of bed.. I couldnt hardly walk and I think I fell over. I couldnt talk walk or really do much of anything. I felt AWFUL. ive never felt so awful in my life. I also had a constant headache.. Its hard to explain the actual feeling.. but I was so out of it.

I just want to warn all of you. I would start of taking 8-10 on your first time @ THE most if you just must try it.. this is what I took on my first time... and I mean it effected me!!

Also, This stuff is addictive.. well i think it is because I wanted it so bad that a couple months after I had turned 15 and got my learners license I took my moms bmw out when my parents were gone and drove it to the store just to get a box of them (I almost had a couple of wrecks) I cant believe how stupid I was just because I wanted those little red pills.

Fortunately now I really hate them.. thinking about the taste physically makes me sick. Just be careful.. this stuff can be very fatal many many people have died from extreme overdoses.

I'm sorry this was so long but I just want all of you (especially the younger teens starting to experiment) to know all of this. Its risky, be careful. If you have anymore questions you can email me @ [email protected] or im me @ nat3245.

Thanks for the warning and welcome to our community.
Coricidin is actually a very dangerous source for DXM (The cough suppressant that makes you trip), as it contains other drugs that can be fatal in high doses. Please read: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/dxm_info2.shtml if you haven't before.. Really bad stuff..

If you want to trip off DXM, get hold of the powder or a cough syrup that contains DXM (dextromethorphan) only. This is very important! People have died using Coricidin!

Here is a list of safe DXM sources:
*Robitussin Maxiumum Strength Cough (Known as Robitussin DX in Australia)
*CVS Tussin Maximum Strength Cough
*Vicks 44 Cough / Dry Hacking Cough
*DexAlone Gelcaps and Drixoral Cough Liquid Caps (hard to aquire)

Don't use anything else unless you want to be really sick or even end up with liver failure. Make sure it contains dextromethorphan HCL as the only active ingredient.
 
crush it up, stir in a little bit of water till fully dissolved, then strain through a coffee filter and let the residue dry to powder again.

maybe that would work...or try using ethanol..(like everclear)

can't say...be a pioneer!!
