The affects of Robotussin?

Lately my friends and I have been drinking a 4oz bottle of Robotussin CF as a cheap way of "tripping."  What does this do to the human body and how could this adversely affect me?

Woops.  I didn't see that his post was over 7 years ago.  He is probably the CEO of a Fortune 500 company by now.

I am curious as to where you got the statistic that "9 times out of 10" ER visits that were suspected Ecstacy overdoses were in actuality from Robitussin.

The reason I ask this is because 1 out of every 4 statistics are made up on the spot.

I have a friend addicted to robotussin for 10 years.  He has ODed and nearly died.  I had a hard time trying to get him help.  In the end I joined him.  We used to drink 2 family size bottles a day.  I had some bad trips, but mostly I was just "some place else".  After 3 months of this I got arrested for shoplifting, (that is how we obtained our drug).  I quit using, have only used Robotussin twice in the last 7 years. BUT... I was an active alcoholic for 6 years.  The past 4 years I have been nothing but a lowly heroin junkie.  As of today I am 14 days claen.  I just hope I can stay that way.
  The last time I heard of my friend Robo he was an alcoholic.  Maybe he is using heroin now too.  If anyone knows Robo (C.A.Howard) of Orlando/Kissimmee FL, or in New Orleans, LA where I left him, please e-mail me at ***@****.

all those ecstacy emergency room visits 9 times out of 10 turn out to be that "tripping" drug in Robo, not MDMA. It's dangerous (inhibits sweating, causing your body to overheat) and a shitty trip, so why bother?

the back of my head near the neck is really sore/tingly after doing tussin', i think it affects long/short term memory and also while on it it interferes with heart beats/physical body controls.  the most i've done is 6oz, so...
