What are the Consequences Associated with the Abuse of DXM?
In very large quantities, DXM can cause effects similar to that of ketamine and PCP by affecting similar sites in the brain. These effects can include impaired motor function, numbness, nausea/vomiting, and increased heart rate and blood pressure. On rare occasions, hypoxic brain damage has occurred due to the combination of DXM with decongestants often found in these medications. In 2006, a question about the use of cough and cold medicines to get high was asked for the first time. In 2007, 4% of all 8th graders surveyed had abused cough medicine, with 5.4% of 10th graders and 5.9% of 12th graders saying they had. Source: NIDA If someone you know is drug addicted, call us.
