once a week is a bit much, supposedly once a month is a better schedule... But i wouldn't drink the syrup, there's other things without all the extra additives. (also the OTC form is filled with bromine which has its own bad effects)

Liver Failure? Most OTC cough syrups have insane amounts of Acetaminophen (aka Paracetamol) in them. Read the label.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol#Overdose

You can EASILY ingest amounts of that pain killer that will fry your liver in a matter of weeks.

Do yourself a favor and go find out what the root cause of the problem is, instead of just treating the symptom.

If it's for sleep, benadryl is less bad for you. Tell the hatman I said hello.

Okay. Im flushing out with water now after some panic. Still flying, but I can't make a habit of it even if I'm about to reenter the pleasant stream of consciousness wormhole where it all makes sense

You can buy cough suppressant DM at dollar general. It has the active ingredient you are looking for and no acetaminophen. Don't fry your brain, but also...it's not like you're trying to keep it nice for the next guy.

It’s against the rules.

You don’t drink medicine, you take the proper dosage to treat a condition.

No matter how you look at it, drinking a bottle of cough syrup is just wrong.

Taking medication for no other reason than “it feels good” is substance abuse. It is an indication of a serious flaw in your character. Before you know it this will lead to you snorting the marijaunas and frying your brain.

Get help now, before you are lost or become a liberal!

The proper dosage for Theraflu is half the bottle. I'm not trying to be sick all day, just knock it out all at once.

Stuff like that doesn't actually help you fight off the disease, it just lessens your symptoms (which will come back stronger once it wears off).

All you need are the symptoms lowered. thats enough to get moving around and working it out.

I snorted the marijuanas, then I stopped believing other people have legitimate authority over me.

Life is about ingesting substances.

Fuck that, eat a THC gummy or something.

Nothing at all. It probably makes you stronger. Ya think?🤪

Nah, jk. Its not good. Whats the brand and formula? Does it have Dextromethorphan?
A little light reading for you:

Nyquil has different formulations but most of the liquid ones have dextromethorphan. Its not good for your brain.

Guy in boot camp drank bottles of listerine.
It was the only thing he could buy at the PX with alcohol.

I don't think robie DM has any tylenol in it. Used to robie-trip on occasiona as a delinquient in high school. Once, I ended up somewhere and I had no idea how I got there. Scared me out of doing it ever again.
