I started taking c+c+c+ wich is Coricidin In november of 2000. First Time I took it I took 6 pills It took an hour to work but it was the best feeling I ever had. Every other weekend I would do 'c' I would always take 9 to 10 pills. The feelings I had were awsome I would be so high I couldnt feel my fingers or my lips every thing move like the matrix. When I would walk it felt like I was walking in one place when I ran it felt like I was running like superman.This all lasted untill June 4, 2001 The thursday befor this date I took 5 before work came home took 10. next day firday I took 6 Before work 16 after. saterday I took 16 in the moring 10 around
1:00 than 16 at 11:30 at night. sunday came I took 20 in the morning than 10 at 6:00 pm. Monday came I was off so i took 20 in the morining around 7:00 am than 6 at 5:00 pm.

I took the last five and was going to bed I felt so dizzy and sick not like the normal high that I always got I went down stairs bairly maid it told my mom I think Im o d ing on Coricidin she said ' what, what do you mean. I went and laid on the couch and the paramedicis came police and everything I was so out of it but so alert Everything was blurry my mom asked the Paramediics if I needed to go to the hospital they saud she is in critical condition I dought shell make the next 20 min. I died od on the way to the hospital in the abulance I was out for 8 sec. I almost lost my life for a stupid high that was never really my thing at all.

My mom always thought I was listening to music all day in my room but I was really getting high on Coricidin. You only have one life, Live it right or you might not live at all. The only one who saveD me was Jesus Christ. God Bless you and I hope this opened your eyes. John 3:16.... For God so loved the world He gave his only begotton son that who so shall ever believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. After all of the drug taking of coricidin I have lost some of my memory and have a speech proplem I stutter a little and cant sometimes remember what I said befor 2 sec. ago.AND I GET MY WORDS MIXED UP AND BECAME A LITTLE DICLEXIC AND CANT SPELL VERY WELL. DO NOT DO THIS DRUG. oR ANY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i AM 19 YEARS OLD AND LIVE THE RIGHT WAY.
