Apparently my whole town is out of Robitussin. I was in CVS on saturday and some dude came thru asking if they had any. There were all out. About 3/4 of it was sold and the last quarter was stolen.
The next day I'm at Dollar General and I swear the EXACT SAME GUY comes in asking about Robitussin. They also had none. Most of it sold, some of it stolen.
They call them triple c's , The Corocedin *sp? Cold and cough, has same ingredients. they take like 2 whole boxes at one time for the effect. Which is claimed to be halucinagenic *Sp? but pretty much makes them a zombie for 2-3 days then sleep for day or 2. Also has phsycological effects too. Not sure on physical dependence like opiates.
Sorry for butchered spelling, end of the night and on last drink.
I do know that the Robitussun is used to make a certain drink. Sizzurp IIRC.
But the triple c's need to be put behind the counter. Or even prescribed. After being a witness to the damage it can do to the person and the family. There have been reports of blindness on overdose.
Quick story, grandaughters parents, my son and his wife at the time. freaking out that they OD'd Or the female claiming she OD'd. And couldn't puke it up.
I threatened her with sticking her own hand down her throat and puking after forcing a bottle of water into her or I would do it myself.
Last 5 years have been pure hell.
