Addicted to Cough Cold Coricidin
    #18651400 -

...just writing those words out makes my skin leak and my stomach cringe.

However, it has been over two years since i was a CCC addict.  I abused them for a year and a half. 

Every week i would take 16 pills(package) at a time.  I would do this 1 to 2 times a week. Sometimes more!

I quit because i started getting a number of horrible side effects. Very scary.

How fucked do you think my liver/kidneys are?

Aye, if you want/ can afford it, most doctors can get you a liver function test. You just piss in a cup, and they test how many liver enzymes end up in you urine, the more there are the more fucked up your liver is.  I heard without insurance it is like 25-100$ depending...

I had a friend who took 6 tylenol after a heavy night of drinking for all of college. One day at his doctor, they did the test and turns out he really messed it up and a single drink of alcohol could kill him. He has been sober ever since...

Good luck!

From wikipedia
Quote:
Chlorpheniramine is an anticholinergic that can cause very serious reactions in high doses



Perhaps this is what they meant by severe reaction...

I would still go for a liver test. Can't hurt...

Glad to quit!

That is crazy man, definitely get your liver enzymes checked out and do a diagnostic screening. You can do a full screening at the ymca for like 150 bucks. Its worth it.

Id start taking milk thistle, eating healthy, and exercising if you arnt already.

This is Dystopia. From DXM alone I still have liver enzyme issues 12 years later. Thankfully I had a brain scan for something unrelated and nothing bad showed on the MRI. You're gonna have health issues so if you don't wanna die of liver or kidney failure then stay away from booze and start treating your body right, and start treating it right now while you're young.

I was in very very good shape since middle school... played soccer for 15 years. played football for 9 years. 

Do you think that helps at all with heart conditions and what not? i used to get really short breaths during my ccc phase and afterwards but not much anymore!

Does anyone know of any obvious signs my insides are messed up?

are there any specific vitamins for livers/kidneys?

^ this. Your liver enzymes are probably out of whack. I would go to a doctor just to check on them, but that's just me.

Like another person said, avoid things that will further damage your liver, like alcohol. Treat your body right and hopefully your liver can recover.

I wish you the best.

I would say that  the liver is an incredibly resliant organ and can regenrate very well,  but not neccesarily quickly. Stay away from alcohol, drugs of most any  sort. There are all sorts of liver detox supplements, and they are all pretty cheap, 3-7$ if I remember correctly. Hate to be the bearer of bad  news though, but since in the op you said you would take 6-12 pills in a sitting, this may have really screwed with  your stomach as well as your liver. Does this couch syrup have acetaminophen? I know for a fact that acetaminophen is bad for your liver, which is why I stay away from tylenol and go for ibuprofen or aspirin. I only use aspirin when I am not cut an bleeding because that stuff will make you bleed out crazy fast...

Once again, good luck and keep us posted,

Cheers!

I don't even want to fucking know what I've done to myself. I still have side effects from it (example: night sweats, that ONLY started after I started using it heavily). I didn't just take them on their own though, because on their own they didn't do much to me.. I chased them with a 12 pack of beer to 'kick them in'.

Sadly, I still want that shit. There is no 'high' like it. I reached a point where I was taking 32 every other day (because the high lasted well from one day into the middle of the next) but I spent countless months whacked out of my head on that shit.

One of the worst experiences I had, was after I was an hour or two into the peak and then total black out. I was sitting on my computer talking to a few people through AIM (yeah that long ago lol) and the next thing I know I'm 'coming to' like I had just got knocked the fuck out (groggy/drowsy, highly confused and have no idea what's going on) I look around and there is vomit EVERYWHERE. It literally looked like the exorcist.. It was on practically every square inch of couch I was sitting on, all down my shirt, in my lap, on the floor, covering the keyboard, on my computer screen.. Just everywhere. I don't know where it all came from because that much food cannot fit in a stomach and when I was on those I wasn't doing much eating anyways. The timestamp on the IM told me I had been blacked out for 2-3 hours, with everyone I was talking to freaking the fuck out (because they all knew what I was doing and that it was dangerous and that I suddenly just stopped talking which was unlike me.. I always let people know when I was going afk or away for the night).

You'd think that would be my line, that then I would go "Holy shit, it's time to quit this stuff".. But nope.. That was one of my first 10 trips or so. I wasn't at all phased by the fact that I very likely nearly died (ever try to sleep on the shit? It's impossible. So how did I just flat out pass out unless I was close to death).

CCC's are poison, teenager's crack. People really should be aware of the dangers. CCC's are a whole new level. It does NOT compare to DXM alone, but people (including me at one point) treat it as such.

Holy shit man,

Well i am atleast glad you are HERE NOW with us. I hope you learned valuable lessons from that, and are ready to commit to treating your body right!

Check out this thread, its got some good advice for how to take care of your body
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18622264/fpart/1


All you can do now is just dont try to hide anything from yourself, get tests done! But also dont assume anything is wrong, that mindset can create problems of its own. You made this thread so you are at the point now where you know, you HAVE to take care of yourself or there wont be a self to take care of.

Also, I would join the forum longecity and create a thread there stating your CCC phase and asking what you should do to help recover and check for damage.

Heres to being here brother! Stay safe and healthy:heart:

Fucking  pathetic thread I'm sorry, this is such an underage post..

I tried that shit in middle school. Grow up and get addicted to coke or something. I'm kidding be seriously :sexysmile:

If my friends survived from 50/60 pills, and they drink heavily every day now after the fact, i think you'll be fine.. But

You still should go to the doctor and get a blood scan or something.

I used to be the same way OP, this was over ten years ago though. I started out small but by the time I decided to quit I was up to an entire package a couple days a week. I only stopped because I started getting very bad shakes, nose bleeds, and blood in my urine. I never saw a doctor, just quit cold turkey after I saw the blood in the urine. Still shaking my head at how stupid I used to be, but I was fourteen at the time.
