9 to 17 year olds drinking cough syrup to get high. Wow they must be bored. I have to bribe my kid to take vitamins and almost have to resort to a straight jacket for cough syrup or any other med if he happens to be sick.

I know someone that did this once, and only once. He was soooo sick from it, and it wasn't due to the drug effect, but you have to drink a lot of cough syrup to get the high they describe, and that's just gross...
Served him right...

people have been doing that for a long time. allergy medications are another one to watch out for.

this is just another one of them things i can't wrap my head around. Who in their right mind would voluntarily drink cough syrup to get high considering the amount you have to drink???

i get buzzed off cough medicine and i take the recomended amount. :/ what's with that? and that nasty lemon stuff that you mix with hot water....

neocitran. that's the stuff. that stuff makes my head spin. but neither of them are psychadelic. just a minor buzz

I don't know, I take a normal tylenol and I am asleep for hours. I have a low tolerance for any type of drug. It just knocks me out. I have even tried non drowsy stuff. Gravol is horriable for me to take. When we travel I get car sick so I have tried to take the childrens gravol thinking it might take the nausia away but no it just made me sleep. But my cousin gets so hyper from gravol and benadryl. I just can't imagine kids wanting to drink medicne to get a buzz.

Ah, Neo Citran makes me buzzed and then I sleep for about 10 hours. I generally wake up feeling hungover. Yuck.

I watched an Intervention about a guy who had been doing "DMX" since he was a kid. He buys a ton of cold medicine and takes it all at once. It causes hallucinations and is deadly.

I remember when my second oldest daughter had insomnia a couple of years ago; she was about 14 or 15. I asked her doctor if it was okay to give her Gravol to sleep (my doctor had advised me to do it a couple of times because I had some temporary sleeping problems). Her doctor told me to give her Benedryl instead because the Sault had a lot of kids from age 8 to 16 that got high by taking 30 or so Gravol at once. Scares the heck out of me to think young kids even WANT to get high.

I, too, have a bad reaction to Neo Citran. Makes my scalp crawl. Not sure what it is in it, but I have a pretty low drug tolerance, and an allergy to codeine. I've actually heard of a lot of people reacting poorly to Neo Citran, and once had someone tell me they had started to become addicted to it, after having used it a lot during an illness.

Thirty or so Gravol? Sounds more like a one way ticket to the morgue, as opposed to a high. Or so I've been told by a medical professional.

i think the buzz is supposed to be there when you take the neocitran to make you sleep off your cold or so you don't care that your sick. i can see it being addictive if you like the feeling it gives you. personally, i buy a pack when i'm really sick and use one or two. the rest ends up getting thrown out after it expires.
