I've been doing triple c's for the past few months, since I've gotten out of rehab.
*if you don't know what trip c's are, they are pill forms of cough medicine* I'm on probation & have been for little over a year..
So, I don't smoke weed anymore, I'm drug tested. So I started taking these c's, and my friends & my boyfriend want me to stop, so I am. But I'm not sure what to do, it'd prob be best to stay sober til i'm off probation but i really just can't do that, and alcohol.. is just, im not about it really.
What should I do?
 
Quit while you're ahead. From what my son and his friends say, it's a dirty high and a shitty comedown.
Plus taking high doses can cause permanent organ damage. It's not worth it.
Get through your probation like your life depends on it, soon it will be over. Stay safe.
 
If you won't stop taking DXM, at least switch to something like a Robitussin or Zicam product that only contains DXM HBr as the active ingredient. The CPM in triple c's can fuck you up bad.
If you need help staying clean, I recommend you check out our new recovery forums.
 
Triple Cs contain DXM, the enjoyable ingredient and chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine which is really quite dangerous at large doses in both the short and long term. If you must use DXM then you should find a product which does not contain any ingredients other than DXM.

We don't allow "what should I take" threads here and I think your post is much better suited to our Sober Living forum so I've moved it there for you :)

I think you answered your question here. How long is your probation? Try to give sobriety a shot, I know when I'm sober it's almost like a new type of intoxication for me. I can see things a lot more clearly. I know it seems like it's something you can't do, but it's not impossible. Give it a try, it'll probably be in your best interests to do so right now.
 
DXM really hurts your brain. If you do it for long enough there will be damage that there is no going back on.
 
High enough doses of DXM can cause false positives, which are a hassle at best. Avoid this one.

Alcohol is also dangerous on probation due to its ability to make you make bad choices. Wow, great buzz. Want coke. I don't see my PO until Wednesday...ring ring

The stress of trying to dance around probation is worse than the stress of being sober. Wait it out and use the time to be productive. Drugs will always be around, but youth and opportunity won't be!
