Taking "Triple C's" as you call them, in any way other than the way recommended by the box is bad. People take them to get high on a drug called Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, otherwise known as DXM. DXM is a cough suppressant and related chemically to Ketamine and PCP. DXM by itself is relativly safe when taken in levels that people take in order to get high. ** Unless you're alergic or hyper-sensitive to it (Which is possible..) **
The bad thing about people taking Coricidin to get high, is that it has another drug in it called Chlorpheniramine Maleate. That drug is an antihistimine which is very bad in high levels. It can cause blood pressure issues, heart attackes, strokes, and death. On the Coricidin website it states "People with high blood pressure should be aware that the AHA recognizes that decongestants have been reported to increase blood pressure, and even interfere with blood pressure medicines."
If you want to take DXM to get high, *Which I do not recommend* Robitussin makes a formula called "Maximum Strength Cough" which the only active ingredient is DXM. At least that way you wont have to worry about the heart effects from the Chlorpheniramine Maleate.
Always do your homework on any drugs you put in your body. That way no one is to blame but you. It's very important you know what your taking, and what might happen to you if you dont follow the directions on the box.

Yes, I have tried triple c's. I tried them one time and I will never go anywhere near those things again. I took 16 of them and I went for a wild trip (not a good one either). I just remember the entire time I was "tripping" I honestly thought I was either dying or already maybe even possibly dead. I have never been so scared in my entire life. My heart was beating out of control and my eyes were as big as two baseballs. When I looked in the mirror it scared me because I couldn't even believe it was me. I looked like walking death pretty much. Before trying triple c's all I had ever done was smoked pot, which I use to do pretty much everyday, and I had tried opium once. I just recently quit smoking pot for good though because my parents basically said if they caught me smoking pot one more time they would kick me out of the house. Sorry to get off subject like that, but in a nutshell, triple c's scared me straight. I remember laying there on my friend's bed (when I thought I was dying or already dead), and I said to myself, "God, I promise if you watch over me and help me come out of this alive I will give up all drugs forever. Fortunately, he answered my desperate prayers and saved my life so I've kept my promise to him and I am drug-free to this day. I consider myself very lucky because I'm only 18 (I'll be 19 in 3 weeks) and I've finally matured enough to stop throwing my life away and to put more faith in God. My advice to anyone out there who has never taken triple c's, or any other drug for that matter, don't ever take the first one, because at some point or another they'll mess your life up I guarantee you.
God Bless Everyone,
Brandon

No, I have not taken them.
And, no I would not consider doing so for the purpose of getting high. I lead a "clean" lifestyle, or I try to. No drugs, smoking, drinking, promiscuity (and yeah I know promiscuity isn't really one of those categories but eh...) etc for me. =))

I'm a straightedger all my life and those are medications .It was only 5 years ago I was a teen, and I was quite healthy and more agile than everyone around me and I'm still the same now.The only reason for that, is my belief in nature and natural way to live life.
It makes me sick when such precribed medication makes teens get dependent on those.They keep on gobbling those as if they are candies.Please don't abuse your body like that.They might be effective in the begining, but on a long run, the side effets would show up.
by d.moore on January 24th, 2008
well, i too have taken those damn things
i took 8 and flipped the fuck out
it was the most horrible feeling ive ever had in my entire life, and i will never do them again
it made me feel like i was literally going to die
and i was having bad anxiety problems and sleeping problems for about a week and a half afterwards
i dont recommend taking them, they really do fuck you up, and not in a good way

1) No. I would suggest you take double M's instead (M&M).
2) "Coricidin, Coricidin 'D' (decongestant), or CoricidinHBP (for high blood pressure), is the name of a drug marketed by Schering-Plough that contains dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant) and chlorpheniramine maleate (an antihistamine). Varieties of Coricidin may also contain acetaminophen (an analgesic/antipyretic) and guaifenesin (an expectorant).
- Medicinal use:
Coricidin is used to alleviate coughs and includes chlorphenamine for people with high blood pressure. Other versions of Coricidin are used to reduce fever or as an expectorant.
- Recreational use:
Coricidin is sometimes used in high doses as a recreational drug because it contains the psychoactive drug dextromethorphan. In this context, Coricidin is referred to as C's, Cory (Cori), Red Devils (Red D's), Cyclopsing (when under the effect of coricidin cough and cold, most users have to close one eye to see or read), VH1 (Recreational users have been cited as saying that they are having their best day ever and when under the influence have also said that life feels like a reality television show), Skittles (they are the same size and color of a red skittle) Scroopies or Scroobles , or Triple C's (the coricidin used for recreational activity used to have three c's on the front, which has now been replaced by two c's). Use of Coricidin for this purpose became dangerous after chlorphenamine replaced the less harmful pseudoephedrine in 2002. Chlorphenamine is an anticholinergic that can cause very serious reactions in high doses. This may be compounded by the fact that dextromethorphan and chlorpheniramine are both metabolized by CYP2D6 isozyme of Cytochrome P450. This could increase the plasma concentration of both drugs by inhibiting metabolism and increasing blood serum concentrations. Fatalities have resulted from overdoses of chlorphenamine."

Nope. Never heard of it.
However, from reading some of the responses, you'd have to be a dumbass to actually do it. FORTY pills to swallow, just to get a high? Not worth it. I can stare at the sky and spin in circles a hundred times if I want to throw up and wake up with a headache the next morning, thanks.
by Meganmakebelieve on December 12th, 2008
i've taken triple C's when i was a freshman... i was very depressed cause i was always made fun of by the cheerleaders... because i was only a base.... ANYWAYS... my friends and i would go down to our local store and steal at least 8-12 boxes of dextromethorphan. i never took more than 8 pills at a time because i knew the side effects of them, and i didn't want that to be me. when my best friend died of them i stopped EVERYTHING. i was scared... it wasn't pretty. dont do them.. PLEASE
by mina 110 on December 4th, 2008
I have taken triple c's for about a month and it would have to be the funnest experience ever. i really dont know why all of yall have bad experiences, all of mine have been good, however i would never reccomend it to people. It consumes you if u do it alot. I have probably eaten over 900 of these things. I have currently quit. or i am trying its been a week which is amazing. When you take alot of them it is all you think about and want to do. Let me describe how it makes you feel. first time i did it i took 16. it took about 40-60 minutes to kick in. It started feeling very odd to walk, i had like noodle legs if you can understand what im trying to say. It screws up your motor skills horribly. I mean i thought it was fun haha. and these things arent something that you come down from in 5 hrs. it averages to about 19 hours for me to come down, and like when or if u think going to sleep will make it go away... you are totally wrong. when you wake up it is right back were you left off. and on top of that it is like you didnt sleep at all. the most i took was 32 and ill never do that again. For like 2 days straight i was high. i thought i was literally going to go insane. these things made my grades drop horrbly. but all in all do not even try it. its not worth it. O and to all you people saying u see things and stuff your wrong i used to take 25-30 a day and never hallucinated. or it might just be me lol cause i did it with my freinds and we never saw stuff. hope this helped

no i have not and would not!! however my 16yr old daughter has used them and i am afraid she still is, drug tests do not detect them and i can't be with her 24hrs a day and i am afraid for her life. she tells me she is not but it's not like i think she would say she was. i am at a loss does anyone have any ideas? if your going to bash my daughter or be rude and hateful please do not respond.
by Mom_of_a_16yearold on February 7th, 2008
Our family has just experienced the efects of Triple C's. My 16 year old daughter spent 6 hours in the ER from taking 12-14 pills. She has never taken drugs before, but we just moved to a new town and they seem to be the rave. She was told she would fit in if she took them. Little did she know the true effects of these pills. She is not a big girl, 5'1 100lbs. It took 3 days for her to become her normal self again. She had the shakes, clinched teeth, dialated pupils, aching muscles and double vision. Sad to think teens feel like taking these drugs is the answer to their boredom or helps them *fit in*. She was so out of it, one of the so called friends took adavantage of her and she was unable to protect herself from him. She was so out of it, she didn't remember even being inthe hospital til th enext day when she seen the bracelet still around her wrist. What will it take to make kids realize the consequences of their actions? My daughter and I have a close relationship, she was just struggling to fit in to a new town and new school. As a parent I am upset with myself for not realizing she wanted to fit in enough she would compromise herself. I pray that she has learned a lesson and has realized those people aren't true friends.

by AngelOfChaos on March 10th, 2009
Hell yeah I've done 'em, and will again! I'm 18, and the first time I tried them was in January, a month after my fiance moved in with me. I never knew that taking them could have the results it did, but am I glad I do now. He had used them before, and he was with me the first time I did it. I remember that I took a full box (16 pills) at once, coz he forgot to tell me to only take half to start with, then after it hit me, to take the other half. So I was laying in bed, and I asked him when it was gonna hit, and like as soon as I got done asking him, BOOM!! I was laying there, it hit and it was so awesome! I remember it felt like I was dreaming. I couldn't stand up, so he had to help me, and he was laughing at me. I thought it was the funniest thing ever! We layed in bed that night and watched the Alvin and The Chipmunks DVD, and it was seriously so much fun! Then the 2nd time we did it together, I took a box and a half. I remember we were sitting on our bed watching Tool music videos. Then we watched V For Vendetta and I seriously thought parts of the Tool videos were playing in the movie. I've had the best trips of my life on Triple C's!!!
Granted, it has cost me some. I totaled my car while I was coming down from a Triple C trip, and that caused me to have to surrender my driver's license, but in a city as big as the one we live in, you don't need to drive anywhere. You can walk.
Triple C's aren't for everyone, but if you do take them, use caution and do your homework. The only reason I didn't read up on it, and about the usage of it before taking them, is because I was with an experienced Triple C user.
by FemJenn on August 16th, 2007
I have taken triple c's and i was in the hospital. It is an addiction and no one seems to understand just how much they damage everyone that matters to you most.. most of all your self. But once you go to the hospital maybe then you will understand. I can't take pills, it makes me want to gag.
It makes me want to cry.
It makes me most off all .. Scared.
I don't know why drugs are the new rage.
But seriously grow up.
I did.
by WhyamIhere on August 7th, 2007
I don't see why this question was rated down. This is a drug our children are using and we as parents need to educate ourselves.
by WhyamIhere on December 2nd, 2006
Is the something like Corisedin (sp?) I have heard of this and they act like babies. I would not suggest it. Alot of brain damage is sure to be a serious side effect of this drug. And most pharmacies keep it in the back.

by eastlaan on August 9th, 2010
triple c's...hmm well where do i begin ... im 18 years old and ive been taking them every once in a while for the past two years ... over the past few months i have become a very avid triple c user...For all of you people out there taking coricidin as tripple c's your are taking the wrong stuff ...coricidin has many long term physical and mental effects...because of the Chlorpheniramine Maleate. when i do triple c's i take cough and cold hbp at any local dollar store just look for dextromethophan in the active ingredients...here are the rules regulations and guidelines before you take them .you must be at least 150 lbs. it takes about 250mg. to trip so 12 pills will produce a decent 6-10 hour trip.the first hour after you take them you have to make sure to eat because for about the next 3 days nothing you eat will have barley any flavor to it whatsoever. so eat while you still can ...but all at the same time that hour is the worst ... and thats where the weak minded are seperated out and cannot take triple c's...they throw up and get an all mind high that makes you into what i call a walking zombie...So do not throw up! try your dambdest not to because if you do that just starts spiraling you downward twords the worst night of your life ...along with that you start to feel chest pressure and stomach disscomfort ... also extra hard working salvatory glands ...(all of this is cured with sprite or gingerale just BURP it all out ...). once that is done for about 45 minutes to an hour your completely confused, seeing things that arent really there not hallucination like seeing things in our world that shouldnt be there ... but you feel as if you are on a completely other planet and everything just seems so exillerating... and new...like one time i closed my eyes and seen little specs of dust flowing with the wind and comming together and building sphinxes ...and pyramids...after this phase for the next few hours you are what i call superman status... where your body is completely and utterly comfortably numb....(i mean you litterly cant feel a damn thing ...im a scrawny white boy and i let a 20 year old marine fresh from iraq punch me in the face... i didnt feel it ... i acctually laughed at him then shook his hand)...after that you just really feel tired and like you want to pass out ...
when you wake up afterward seriously just try to isolate yourself bc you will feel like you have a void in your life for a few hours and you may flip the fuck out on your little brother for trying to wake you up asking if you want breakfast ... it make you very angry in the longrun ... like you have an unspoken demon waiting to be awaken inside...other than those bits of info i will warn every person on this site ... do not ever try them unsupervised by an avid user you will have a bad trip... and you wont like it and you will start telling people false info about the drug...try to wear sunglasses...and always keep a bottle of water with you bc the cottonmouth is absolutly rediculous... its like your eating sand ...if you are a strog willed person you can take them on a weekend basis starting at ten and jumping up 2 pills every next time(because your body gets used to it and needs more to feel like the last time you tripped) although i wouldn't advise you to do them so often it will fuck up you liver...but every once in a wile its awesome ... and i know nobody othr than an avid user will understand this but you honestly after doing them for a while begin to see visions...and feel a dark presence following your around...me and my girlfriend take them about 2 times a month ... and after a while you learn to read eachothers minds...i know it sounds impossible but we can have full conversations on them without speaking a single word... also after a while you learn to be able to control the trip like its a seperate sence in your body ... like i can zoom in my vision like an eagle... its fuckin crazy ...and honestly i would advise you that if you do try and get a bad trip ... take them again bc everyones first time is bad ...its a drug ment for the curious... and psychedelic minded...
by brittbritt92 on January 3rd, 2010
ive taken triple c's 4 times this week. ive never had a high even compared to the high i get from these. i dont even think about smoking weed or shrooms anymore, all i think about are c's. from my experiences ive felt all of these things...
-my first time i took 8 and the trip was insane. the 2nd time i took 8 and they had the same effect and all the times after that ive taken anywhere from 16-19 and the trips are still fucking insane.
-they can take anywhere from a half hour to 1 n 1/2 hours to kick in and from there the high keeps increasing. the first 10 mins after they kick in you (might) feel sick like you need to puke, you can compare it to being drunk. you dont crash either, you slowly come down from the high. however there is a chance you will be hungover and the hangover can last for days.
-its hard to comprehend whats going on around you but physically and mentally you feel absolutely amazing
-the high itself is very out of body. i thought everything was a dream while rollin. i highly recommend listening to some music with a fast beat like techno. anything trippy will do. me and my friends drive around for hours tripping (i wouldnt recommend that though because we've almost crashed plenty of times)
-i like to have my boyfriend around because these pills make me horny but dont be mad if you feel like no one is paying attention to you because there rollin hard and you along with everyone else dont know whats going on around you.
-try running when rollin on c's and you'll feel like your flying :D
-the high is best when your with multiple people who YOU KNOW can handle c's.
-most people feel all tingly and cant walk good.
-YOU ABSOLUETLY CAN'T FOCUS so make sure that wont be necessary when rollin on c's
-you will most likely see double of everything
-a lot of people also experience a point where they feel like there dying or there about to die. which is completely normal because it is such an out of body experience. so dont PANIC!
-people say a lot of random shit and make a lot of random movements. i personnally forget a lot of things that go on when on them.
-a lot of people get really hot when on c's so use deoderant and be prepared to sweat
-me and my friends were rollin and we seen a scary commercial and some of us tripped out and got really scared.
-c's make everyone friendly, i dont know anyone who has a bad trip on them. i had sex on them for the forst time this weekend and it was really intense and hot and sweaty (because of the c's) but it was fucking amazing... unfortunately because neither of us could focus we didnt comprehend to use a condom... so be careful with that kids.
-overall best fucking trip you will ever have will most likely be the trip on triple c's
-i can compare c's to being insanely drunk or trippin on acid but a more intense high.
shrooms/x/other pills dont even compare. except triple c's to be the best high youll ever have and it'll be unlike any other high youve had.
_________________________________________________________
*DANGERS OF C'S*
because you do feel like your gonna die theres a good chance you'll want someone to bring you to the hospital where they WILL pump your stomach.
some people pass out
you cant focus so make sure your not walking around outside or driving when rollin cause your judgement is lapsed and everything seems like its moving slow even though its not.
your body might become completely numb so make sure your with people you know will take care of you
please dont take more the 32 pills (2 boxes) because then there is a very good chance of overdosing and dying.
these pills arent anything to fuck with, i dont recommend taking them everyday even though its very tempting try and keep it to a weekend thing.
-long term use of these pills usually lead to brain, stomach, and liver damage. loss of appetite and weight loss. my friend says she stopped using 6 months ago and she still doesnt feel normal.
-the effects can be very disappointing. today is sunday and i took the pills friday night and i feel like complete shit. hungover. i feel slow and i have lost my appetite.
-never underestimate these pills and dont ever think your safe based on what people tell you because EVERYONES BODIES HAVE DIFFERENT REACTIONS TO C'S and i can gurantee that based on my group of friends alone.
by Megan... on December 21st, 2009
Yes. I have tried them. I guess I will tell you all about it. LOL. I really have nothing else to do right now, so... why not? Oh, btw, i just popped eight about 30 minutes ago. They haven't hit me yet. Ha. I came across this, and thought i would tell you about it. I am in high school. Anyway, i first tried them about two months ago. They are pretty awesome. I was with two of my friends when i first tripped on them. I am sort of new with drugs. I have only been doing any kind of drug since September of this year. A new friend of mine (i was going out with him at the time) got me to smoke weed. Well, my first trip on skittles (that is what people around where i live call them) was amazing. I loved it! I tripped on eight. I mean, it took about forty-five minutes for them to hit me, but when it did, everything was just WOW! ha. Well, i didn't even feel like i was there. I did think i was going to die, but that is because i was so out of it, when my friends mom found out we did them, she tripped out on us. She started saying stuff like "Do you realize you can die from this stuff?!" I mean, i just kept zoning in and out. Everyone was so worried about me! They were like "She is totally out of it!" and "She may need to go to the hospital!" They were seriously worried. Apparently, they thought i passed out or something. All it was, i walked in my friends living room, walked up to him, then walked back to his room, sat my bag under me, and laid down, i was really messed up! I feel i should be honest on here, and not pretend everything was perfectly fine... I mean, it really was, i just didn't realize it. I was fucked up! Well, my friends mom is usually pretty cool with all this stuff. She lets us smoke marijuana, hell, she even bought the skittles for us. She told us to only take four, and we told her we would, but i guess it slipped our minds, and we took eight each. Anyway, we took them at about 7:30p.m. Me and my friend had to leave our friends at about 11:30p.m. We were so fucked up, her mom would have killed us, if she knew what was going on. Ha. We couldn't walk straight! I don't remember much. I only remember bits and pieces of that night. Well, we stumbled to her mom's car. She bought us fries from McDonalds. Neither of us ate them, our mouths were so numb! Well, eventually we got to her house, we tried hiding our high from her mom. That is nearly impossible! We couldn't hide it! Well, we just stayed up a couple hours, talking and all. We were fine in the morning. Her mom asked us what was wrong with us the night before. We told her we were just insanely drunk. She believed it. LOL. Triple C's are about a seven hour trip. Well, since that first trip, i have done them 2 more times. I didn't feel anything during these two trips! I guess that is because i fell asleep, and all. I'm on my fourth trip now. I still don't feel anything. I hope i get fucked up. If eight doesn't work this time, i am going to do 16 next time. I know people who i hang with, they have done up to 32. I would be cautious with these. I recommend doing them when you are with someone else. It just isn't as fun when you are alone. Well, happy tripping. [: Skittles are a great drug. Oh, the way most kids around here get Triple C's, we steal them. There are only two stores in the town i live in (not a big town) that you can easily steal them. I have stolen them before. I would pay for them, if they would let me buy them, lol. Anyway, peace. [:

by brandaybby on March 9th, 2009
yes i tried them on friday for the first time with my friend. i took 7 of them at my house at around 5:30 and they finally fully kicked in at about 8:45 when i left to go to her house. the car ride over there was amazing. it didn't feel real and the vibrations of the car on the road was weird. once we got there we went to her room and laid on the floor blasting techno/trance music on her laptop. we fell asleep for 5 minutes and woke up and then just stayed in her room. i stood up to get my water and my head didnt feel like it was on my body. i could't focus but it wasn't a bad thing. like an hour or so later, we turned off the lights and laid down and started watching t.v. the powerpuff girls were on for some reason and we started watching it. but we couldn't keep our eyes open and every little bit we could focus. there was something about a cat, 4 mice, a guy with a big diamond, the same guy was pouring out like a million cereal boxes looking for a diamond, and then a commercial on the show trying to be like the trix rabbit. then i fell asleep for like 20 minutes it felt like. i woke up and it was like deja vu. the same exact thing was on. me and my friend were tripping out so hard. then when we turned off the t.v, we laid in the dark & we each had one headphone and were listening to her ipod. she was blasting crazy ass techno music and it put both of us into a deep trance. i was seeing like rainbow circles and weird pictures when i closed my eyes. closing my eyes felt like i was asleep but i know i was still awake. once we really fell asleep, we both kept waking up in the night and kept asking if we still felt it [which we did]. we felt like if us sleeping on the floor was what was really happening and sleeping on the bed was all just a dream. our minds were wondering far and we thought everything was still a dream. in the morning, her mom was telling us to get up and once again, as i stood up, i still felt fake. we went to her sister's softball game at 9 in the morning and we still felt weird. all we wanted to do was sleep or lay down. everything from friday night [even before we took the pills] didn't seem like it really happened until we really thought about it. it finally weared off late saturday night. it all felt like a crazy and trippy dream. it was such a good trip. damn i loved it.
by brittanya on March 8th, 2009
I tried them once three years ago, and have yet to stop.
I tell myself everyday that today will be the last day but it never is.
Its an escape into a false reality, and I wish I had never tried it..
I even am at the point where I maintain on this at work, and do my daily duties. but only slower and not as the real me..
PLease don't do this drug. Tripping is a neverending hell.........<3
by zoblow on February 26th, 2009
i love it hahaha
i don't know why you all had such bad times, seeing as i'm a tiny little asian girl, and you'd think it would effect me more negatively being at 5'0 high and 89 lbs.
but it was actually very enjoyable;
or at least more than sobriety ...
such is teenage life !

im 17. and in freshman year, i was completely obsessed with them. i use to go to school like everyday on c's while chugging them down with robitussin. One time when i was in school i was trippin so bad i fainted, i puked in my history class, i made everyone laugh though. I was always messed up though. And everyone knew! But last year was the last time i did them, and i puked 8 times in a row. So i kinda figured that i was pretty much done with them. it's really not something i would recommend to anyone. The most i ever took in one day was 36. bad, i know. lately though i been thinking about doing them again. I jus really hope i dont puke again!

okay so, this feeling of dead thing is totally off. I've taken triple c's god only knows how many times and i've never felt like i was dying. They take about an 11/2 to 2 hours to kick in and once they do they only last like 3-5 hours depending on how many you take. The chick in the video, wtf. you can clearly tell she was either faking or on something else. on triple c's you cant even walk straight and a majority of the time you see double. someone can have a full conversation with you and 5 seconds later you dont remember a thing. last new years my friends told me i was in cuba that i walked there and i completely believed them. It makes you trip bad but i wouldn't advise taking more than 10 if anyone decides to after reading this blog. However, they could be very dangerous, my best friend took 16 once and her whole body overheated. she felt so cold but it hurt to touch her skin. SHE FELT LIKE DYING. only if you take to much.
so yeah, i dont take triple c's anymore because im 17 now, a little too old to still get high off of cold medicine.
just be careful with them if you decide to take them.

Oh my god. You will TRIPP THE FUCK OUT.
I used to take only 13 at a time, and that was pretty spiffy, i felt like a cloud. Then it got to a point were I couldn't get high unless I had 20. Now, it is 26.
Let me tell you, if you're pussy, you won't enjoy these.
26 has me so gone, I'm convinced that I sleep next to purple gummy bears who won't let me sleep, or have puppy dogs inside me.
Ahhh, this drug is amazing, but I'd rather be tripping out on some good ol' shrooms. =]
They got my heart beating rap song.

yes i have tried them. those motherfuckers are crazy yo, i tried them for the first time about a year ago, my friend had told me about them, i was 15 at the time, and i didnt believe that they wold really do anything, so i said fuck it and popped 8, and they took a while to kick in, but after like 1 hour 1/2, i started feelin rly weird, i thought i was gonna pass out. but i love em now, i take em about once a week. but just so everybody knows, as long as you dont take them in excess, they have some risks, but they've never hurt me. but they do make you trip, i'll tell you, take like 16 of those fuckers, and pop in a Pink Floyd album, u'll be trippin like a motherfucker. i love em, and the more you take the better the high, cuz after you start takin them say like on a weekly basis, you have to start takin more, im take about 2 boxes at a time now (32 pills). but for the worried parents out there, your kids could be doing much worse things like coke and smack, but if you dont mind your kids gettin high on like weed and little shit, dont worry about triple c's, just as long as their not takin too many. but i love the Triple C's, and i think its some thin that everyone should try at least once

Yeah, when I was a teenager I took them quite a few times. I can't say that it is the smartest thing I ever did, but it was fun at the time.
The first time I ever took them, I took about 12. I ended up having to walk 3 miles home from a friend's house, and the entire way I was freaking out [in a good way] because everything was black and white and sketchy, like I was in a comic-book. The entire next day I felt like a zombie and I wished I hadn't taken them.
Two friends of mine and I decided we were going to take some one day before school. We each took 16 but before we even arrived on campus, we were tripping too hard to be at school. So we had a guy we knew drive us around all day. We sat in the back of the car, each of us in our own little worlds. The guy took us to McDonalds and we demanded that he buy us a 20-piece McNugget. We went into the bathroom, feeling like we were gonna float off of the floor the entire way, holding onto tables as we passed them. We sat on the bathroom floor for God knows how long, one of my friends dry-heaving into the toilet while the other two of us laughed uncontrollably. When we came out of the bathroom, the guy was standing there with our chicken nuggets. We tried to eat them, but eating seemed so preposterous.. I couldn't even get one nugget down. Upon driving back to my house, I recall hanging my head out of the car door while he was driving about 50 mph, my face dangerously close to the concrete. I don't know what I was thinking.. but at the time, it was fun.
Upon arriving back at my house, my two friends and I climbed into my bed, our trips too intense for us to handle. I muttered something about an old lady watching us and passed out until the next day.
I would not recommend anyone taking Triple C's.. it is really stupid and sometimes it is very unpleasant. Smoke weed instead.

What are triple C's? Where do kids get them?
by cheydogg on June 29th, 2007
ive taken 8 and then it took a while to start so like i took 12 a minute later. i was a dumbass and got in the bath but i was sitting there and like i closed my eyes and i felt like i was falling back but i wasnt. but i got hella scared and i was tripping out cause my heart was beating hella fast and so that was scary but i didnt like the high because whenever i would look somewhere, i saw the opposite. like if i look up, everything goes down. and so on... and for some reason i still want to do them. i think they can be addicting. and if you want your heart to explode then go ahead and take them. :D
by crunk ma on May 3rd, 2007

Yes. I have taken Triple C's. Most deffinitly not worth it, tha risk is dealth. I had acually taken 16, not really shure what commen. Well, to make a long story short, I was blacken out, thinken I was gonna die, at one point when id black out, every 10 mins for a good 3 mins for a good hour, I did think I was dead. 4 hours into it, had to be home, got busted and sent to tha ER. Crazy trip, wont touch dxm again! Next morning I had the runs, while puking, cold sweats allday while in bed. Very embaracy. I recomend if your gonna abuse otc drugs, go with delsym, a coff medicin that contains onlY DXM for tha "active ingredent". not wize, but safer.

over the summer me and my three bestfriends went to arkansas, which is were ambers grandpa lives. and we can get away with pretty much anything. we have already have expierced with triple c's for about 2 years noww. but anyways over the summer within 3 or 2 days we took over 100 pills each. it was CRAZY!. you dont want to do that. we were all stuck on them for days. we thought we were gunna be like that forever. haha. one of my bestfriends had a real bad trip tho. she literally thought she was going to die, she was horrified of me and my other bestfriend. she was seeing things that werent there so badly that its not even funny. triple c's are amazing if you kno your limit.

Yeah, I've used triple c's .. & shit I'm still trippinq right now . My best friend and I took 16 each yersterday and I had smoked 3 blunts and my best friend had 2 .. Shit . . We had the best trip EVER! .. My tonque was beyond numb .. I cOuldn't walk correctly . I had to cover one eye in order to see properly .. All I kept sayinq was "I feel weird" .. My best friend and I had to hold on to eacother as if we were qonna die ..I have tried triple c's about a few times alreadyy and I think its amazinq .. You start to hallucinate and your imaqination starts to fuck with you to the point where you stat askinq yourself wtf am I thinkinq . What am I sayinq . What am I doinq . You seem really lost and incapable of doinq simple tasks like qoinq down the stairs .. My best friend had to hold on to the rail with both her hands .. Cautiously qoinq down each stair . 1 step at a time .. I in the other hand cOuldn't walk .. I felt like the floors were movinq with me & thouqht I was qoinq to sink into the floor if I dont walk properly .. When I chanqed into my pajamas to crawl in bed because the trip was too intense ... I had completely wondered off and asked myself . How did I qet into these clothes . I cOuldn't remember how I had qone to point A to point B . I felt really hot .. My face was burninq up and my eyes were qoinq to pop out of my eye socket . . When my best friend & I were layinq on my bed . . I was qazinq into the directon of my closet and told my best friend that if she saw the midqets that were makinq out across the rooom . She just saw one sittinq down ..but I had seen the couple of midqets makinq out for the past 20 minutes .. Along with a little friendly leprauchan .. Finally, my best friend and I crawled up the stairs into my livinq room because she could no longer stay in my room because she felt "trapped". Even thouqh we felt as if we were trapped ina different dimension we had a blast . I really can't say not to do them because I use them once ina while . But use at your own risk . They miqht be a trip to chaos and back but they have they're consequences..

hell yeah ive tried them and they are the shit. seriously they give me a feeling of being on top of the world yes they r bad for u but hell if i take them is it hurting you no exactly so all i have to say is that it is your own choice on what u do me personally ive done almost every drug in the book and ive seen some amazing things that most people couldn't even imagine. to me drugs open your mind and so does alcohol. i like to have fun with life you only have one i dont wanna be a normal bitchy person. im 18 and i still do half of the drugs u wouldnt consider. hate all u want but like i staded earlier is it hurting you or me?

heres a great tip for everyone...never ever ever take them with anything else like antidepressants or anti anxiety...they pretty much reverse the effect. i had half a zbar and tried trip c's for the first time. i only had four. they take a while to kick in and i fell asleep. when i woke up in the morning my heart was beating out of control. i seriously thought i was going to die. i got really paranoid. i looked in the mirror and my pupil coverd up all the color in my eye. it was crazy.
my advise is to be careful with them...people die all the time from heart attacks. if you have a history of bad trips....dont take them...its extreamly scary to feel your heart going out of control and you cant stop it...it last a long time
by baby girl on October 7th, 2008

by technios on September 28th, 2008
they say right on the box that they may cause excitement in children... happens the same for adults but the pills themselves will make you sick if you consume too many... i suggest not taking more than a couple
by lamelamelame on September 17th, 2008
i took six, but shit didn't kick in for hella years so i took 2 more an hour after the first six. it slowly began to hit while i was talking to someone, and about 5 minutes later, the full effects fucking hit me so hard. i couldn't even continue my convos on AIM cuz my eyes were all blurry.
oh, and by the way, i was at home by myself when it finally hit me, which sucks cuz none of my friends were there.
the weirdest thing for me about c's is that when i closed my eyes i really saw shapes and i thought i saw a man talking me.
i was sitting on my couch, and i thought i was having a conversation with one of my friends, but i was just talking to myself in my head. haha.
it was actually kinda scary while being on them, cuz i felt like i was dying. like i didn't even want to close my eyes cuz everytime i did, i would open them thinking i was sleeping for hours.
it was also hard for me to walk, i felt really stiff, and my legs were nooooot cooperating with meeee. ugh. haha.
triple c's. wow, weird ass trippy shit.
i'll settle for 7 or 6 next time. aha.

hahahaahahaha!!!!!
Omg!
are you kidding me? I'v taken triple c's before.They are actually a very fun drug.I dont take them every day,but i have taken them more than once and i think that its a blast.The first time a took them was about a year ago.I took 17.I was so high that i had no clue what the fuck was going on.Me and my friend were so excited to take them we bought a disco ball and some tight ass techno to get fucked up to.I was moving constently.And to have tuns of fun when your on the edge,listen to music.You get so lost in it.It lasted for about a day 1/2.when you listen to music you dance and dance and dance.Its so much fun.Me and my friends even bought glow lights.Let me tell you something,those are tight as hell when your fucked up on ccc's.I wouldnt take it around anyone that you dont trust because you really have no clue whats going on.I couldnt even walk streight so i started crawling on the floor to get everywhere.Oh,and i remember,i couldnt stop laughing.I was so high.The only time i didnt laugh was when i was dancing because i was so lost into the music.My eyes where so big and i felt so weightless at first.then you start to fell like you weigh 5738259286 pounds.Its so awsome.I think that the reason why everyone likes drugs is because it makes you feel weird.And that feeling of weirdness makes you hooked.Im not hooked.But some people are and thats not good.Triple c's could be bad but wouldnt it be better to get high on triple c's then heroin or ETC? Yes,it would.But anyways,i think their awsome.i wouldnt recommend taking them every day but i dont think every once in a whiles bad.I havent taken them in a while because me and my friend got caught.We were fucked up in the basement of her house.We where outside roling in the mud with some of our guy friends.Her "mom" came downstairs and said "Wheres the alcohole? wheres the boys?" she had no idea that we where fucked up on some over the counter medicine shit.It was funny.I actually want to take them all over again.I will.Soon.
well i guess this is goodbuy.I hope you liked my story and you should def. comment it.hahah!
be safe and God Bless! :D

I have I took 8 in school at about second period, and right by the time I got out of school,they wore off. Maybe whoever you guys knew took way more or were on other stuff too cuz I was super sober by about 4 p.m.
by Lori K still ignores stalkers and trolls on September 17th, 2008
Absolutely not.
Coricidin HBP products have proven to be safe and effective when users adhere to recommended doses (containing 10 to 30 milligrams of dextromethorphan taken every 6 hours). However, abusers typically consume many times the recommended dose, which produces hallucinations and dissociative effects similar to those experienced with PCP (phencyclidine) or ketamine. While under the influence of the drug, which can last for as long as 6 hours, abusers risk injuring themselves and others because of the drug's effects on visual perception and cognitive processes.
High doses of dextromethorphan result in an increased body temperature, which poses a particularly acute health threat if the drug is used in an environment--such as a rave or dance club--where users are dancing among crowds of people. Other risks associated with dextromethorphan abuse include nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, headache, numbness of fingers and toes, loss of consciousness, seizure, brain damage, and possibly death.
The risks to Triple C abusers are heightened because the medications that are abused contain additional ingredients such as expectorants, pain relievers, and antihistamines that produce additional side effects and compound the risks associated with dextromethorphan.

You're reading Triple C's are pills that current teenagers use to get high. Have you ever tried them and if not, would you?

SCHWING!!!!! Great answer.
by VOD on January 31st, 2007
yah, and it explains an awful lot too... like why I've got high blood pressure for one thing; because years ago we used to think taking 'blues', or horse pills (ketamine) was a really good idea to get high, and the hit was great, kept you up all night, until you wanted to come down, then you had a couple of Bennies and BANG! for a few hours before you did it all again...
What an idiot... err, that's me, not you..

Selena, based on your spelling you obviously have been having quite a bit of fun and "sum"[thing] has already happened "2" you.
You have your fun "nd" someone like me will have to take care of you when you are in the hospital due to it, "mayn". Regardless of whose fault it is, you are not the only person being affected.

alrite y'all saying it is bad to do triple c's which it is im not saying its not but what im trying to say is if you are allergic to cordacin(triple c's) you shouldn't take it regardless i have done them alot and nothing has happened to me as long as you monitor yourself and your friends you will have no problem while tripping on these i have done it and i will do it again
