Anxiety and Coricidin?

hey all.i have a problem.i am taking prozac because i have these outer body experienced anxiety attacks.they make me feel like i am gonna die.and i believe that they are triggered by my abuse of coricidin pills for like 2 months in the year 2000.i used to take 10 pills at a time and have a crazy euphoric trip from it.i also drank alcohol and smoked marijuana with it.i do think that once your brain learns how to do something like experience a high like that,that it can manifest it even when you are sober.can anyone relate to my problem and tell me how they deal with it because i feel alone out here.i wish i never took them.any info or comments or support would be greatly appreciated.God Bless

I know exactly how you feel. Back in 07 I took coriciden a few times then stopped. In 08, I was at the lake with my friend, we were partying and getting drunk, I decided to take coriciden again just for fun.. BAD IDEA! I start to freak out, had shortness of breath, felt like I was gonna die, and could barely function. For a few days after that I would feel weird doing even small things like smoking a ciggarette. After a while it calmed down. It's 2010, and I still get random chest pains and feel like I'm gonna die if I take medicine that even looks like coriciden, such as advil. I start to get really hot, uncomfortable, and nauseus. I'm in the same boat. I'm not really sure if you'll even read this seeing as though your post was in 07. But if you do, email me, I'd like to know if you still experiece this, or if it eventually goes away, I hope I don't have to put up with this forever! ***@****

I don't see how abusing coricidin in the year 2000 can effect you now. BUT I have heard of people having acid trips years after taking acid.  They say that the acid stores in your fat cells and stays there until you start losing a lot of weight-like dieting or from being sick.  Maybe this is the case with you?  You never know.  But Good Luck!
