Don't do OTC Drugs!

by John McClane

Many of the stories on this website have articles about OTC's. well, I experimented and it made my life a LIVING hell!!! i tried EVERYTHING!!! Neurontin, Benadryl, Dramamine, DXM, you name it, I've tried it. Starting with Dramamine, the trips are good for me, but it made me feel like shit the next day. Come to find out, my liver's failing because of that shit. Benadryl does the same thing, since its basically the same drug, and it fucks your liver up--GOOD. After experimenting with those two for a couple of months, I decided to move on to bigger and "better things." Well, it wasn't better. I am a big pothead (or i was, anyways) and I'm used to the stoned feeling, and someone told me that doing DXM was just like getting stoned, but WICKED stoned and you feel really good, so I figured what the fuck--I'll try it. So i had 120 mg of PURE DXM--not robitussin, but actual DXM extracted from cough syrup. Afterwards, I smoked a bowl with a friend of mine, and I felt the effects kick in almost immediately. After he left, my other two friends, who I'll call J and M decided it would be cool to fuck around with me, seeing as how I was trippin' out. They walk up to me and started slapping me in the face, saying," dude. get up. why is your head bleeding? are you alright? say something! call an ambulance!!" Not only do you think stupid shit when your on dxm, you also do stupid shit. Like when your mom asks why the house smells like pot, and you SHOULD answer "I don't know", but instead you answer "Me and A smoked a bowl and I don't feel right right now, and I feel like I'm dying." That fucked me all over. My mom was SO upset. Then I tried Neurontin a few times. J was prescribed on Neurontin and I never even heard of it before, let alone tried it. So i said ,"sure. what the fuck. It'ds just an anxiety pill, right? What harm could it do?" Well, BIG mistake. You see, there's a REASON that people are prescribed on medication and they dont just hand them out at your local pharmacy. It fucked with my emotions. When your mad, you get SUPER PISSED. when youre sad, you get SUPER SAD, etc. Well, now whenever I smoke a bowl, I get that same dying feeling I got when I tried DXM. The night my mom found out about my "trip", she stayed up with me almost ALL night, and when my dad got home at midnight, She told him all about it. I wasn't worried because my dad is a pothead, and he was just like, "No sense in grounding him, just take it easy." So that was my experiences with drugs. Just a thought for you.
