Addicted from 1993

[sharmasanjay]

Sir,
Myself is sanjay sharma and i am taking cough syrup more than a 5 bottles in a day some times 6, I am a father of 2 kids and I wants to leave this addiction is there any solution and i am finding that to remeber some past i have to think very deeply and plzzz tell me the side effect of the cough syrup.

It's all depends on what kind of cough medicine. Narcotic cough medicine or the DM type? I was hooked on narcotic cough medicine for years and got my addiction stated on it before there were even hydro pills. I had to drink some rough stuff like turpenhydrate and codeine and some other nasty stuff before I found the cleaner stuff but am not going to get into all that. There can be some problems from the other ingredients in cough medicine.

[mr.lucky66]

[mr.lucky66]

I do not think it was a bogus question at all.  There was a time when you could get narco syrup over the counter at any pharmacy.
It maybe in other countries that it is the same way.
I believe that the writers name is sanjay, not the cough syrups name.
Are you writing from India?  Can you just get the syrup over the counter there?
From what I understand, you will go through w/d just like pills.
Taper off, slowly.  Have a friend or family member keep the bottles, then you have to not buy it anywhere, and follow your taper plan.  Perhaps you could see a Dr to help you  out.

hey sanjay I am in the exact same situatiion.. and I am probably in the same country as you are. I am feeling depressed too cause its hard to quit. sigh.,

Yes everybody ...... that narcotic (codeine) cough syrup is purchased OTC in several countries, India among them.  Those syrups need to be treated just as any narcotic for withdraw.........they do compound health problems with a cocktail of other cough meds involved in the formulary. .........  they can get the narcs easily, but the amino's are harder and more expensive - I would think many with 5 yr histories should be advised ot the depression and some therapy for it...... Thomas Recipe is adequate for immediate withdraw.....
