In the Summer of 2001 I had MANY experiences with coriciden. If you ask me and all of our friends we took it with, I'd say it was great. We had so much fun on it, and we could talk about ANYTHING while we were on it. we always called it tripple C because on the pill it had three little C's. There wasnt a day that went by that summer that we hadnt taken it and always with the same ppl: Me, my sister, Sarah, Angela, and sometimes Chris.

We would all sit around and just see stuff like the time we thought people were stilling grocieries from our car and put my stuff in the wrong car. Stuff would just trip us out like when we were at some park a helicopter flew by, and all of us not knowing there was a hospital right by us, we all thought they were comming to get us. And if we got hit we couldnt fill it till the morning like the time Sarah got slapped by her grandma and started laughing.

Theres too much stuff to mention that happened but some things that scared us was thinking we were going to die. I was sitting in my room when I was trying to talk to my sister and sarah when they said I was changing colors, just messin with me, so when I looked in the mirror I could have sworn my face was turning purple and all sort of colors. And then everything started getting smaller and I couldnt fill my face anymore so I got scared and told them to call the police and saying how I was going to die- but they never did call the cops, gladly, because I felt normal minutes later and I wasnt the only one who thought they were going to die.

I never threw up but some of my friends did each time they took it like the time we were in the Albertsons parking lot sitting in the car and sarah had gotten out and was behind the car. We saw people looking back and we all where like 'I hope there not staring at sarah' but they were because she was bent over throwing up! She ending up going to the hospital after we stopped taking them because she had problems with her kidneys just like angela.

[Erowid Note: This is an unconfirmed report of kidney damage related to DXM with Chlorpheniramine Maleate. Let us know if you know of any information about this incident or other instances of kidney problems.]

Its been almost a year since we have takin them and we always talk about the fun times we had, so we tried to take them for old-times-sake, but none of us could seem to swallow them. They make us all gag thinking about them or even just trying to take tylonol. I guess we just took them to much it made us sick. I'm not sure how many we took but I always took around 8 pills but my sister and her friend would take 16-24 sometimes.
