Read on for more on Triple Cs , including how they look, how long they stay in the body, side effects, risk of overdose, and treatment. Tiple C—aka. The drug is safe and effective against a runny nose, congestion, fever, sneezing and coughing in recommended doses. In the streets, Triple C is also known as. Or better yet, what is it about the mechanism of Dextromethorphan or Triple C that makes it a potential drug of abuse? Typical nasal decongestants for cold and flu work by causing blood vessels in the nasal passages to constrict—hence reducing inflammation due to dilation of vessels.
However, this poses a risk for patients with high blood pressure, which is where Coricidin HBP comes into play. Its active ingredient, DXM, interacts with the brain to suppress the cough reflex. This makes the medicine an effective short-term remedy for flu and cold—especially for patients with high blood pressure. Dosing instructions by the physician or manufacturer for Coricidin HBP are based on several factors such as age, treatment response, and existing medical conditions.
The maximum daily dosage is mg 12 years or older or 60 mg years. In addition to its therapeutic benefits, Dextromethorphan is also subject to illicit uses.
The uncertainty of dose and composition poses an additional risk. The cough relieving effects of Dextromethorphan from a medically-recommended dose last for around 6 hours after oral administration with minimal side effects, if any. On the other hand, intoxication from a nonmedical dose of Triple Cs kicks in at around minutes after use, depending on the method of administration.
Like the medical dose, the euphoric effects last for up to 6 hours—but the Dextromethorphan stays in the body longer than that. DXM is metabolized in the liver into dextrorphan at varying rates depending on the biological characteristics of the individual and amount administered.
For those that metabolize the compound quickly, it can be found in their bloodstream for up to 22 hours—while it can linger for as long as 33 hours in users that metabolize DXM poorly. Drug tests typically look for the presence of specified prescription or illegal drugs in your blood, urine, sweat, or hair.
For this reason, most standard tests e. However, the pharmacology of Dextromethorphan is similar to that of controlled substances such as ketamine and phencyclidine PCP. Whether Triple C can be detected or not, its abuse puts the users at a high risk of life-threatening side effects. But as a hallucinogen, it can produce feelings of delusion, euphoria, and a host of mild-severe side effects when misused. It would be best to discuss your concern with your doctor.

I really want to stop but i cant seem to go longer than 3 days without them. What do i do. Hello everyone, i just wanted to share a bit of my sobriety. I been clean for almost 14 years. I used to love the feelings it gave me. I used to be able to better imagine things that normally was difficult for me to imaginate. And i used to love drawing everything that came to mind. But then i started feeling irritable.
Too much energy and became highly aggressive to those nearest me. I felt physically powerful. Due to lack of muscle control. The exhilaration was what got me hooked. The out of body feeling… Etc. But then, i lost the ability to draw… It affected my brain in a manner that i can no longer draw.
I was taking up to 20 daily when i first experienced my body shutting down. I experienced a hallucination so powerful, it scared the hell out of me.
I could not feel my legs. They felt like lead. And everything was so brite and louder. I heard a voice that talked to me.
That was not real, at that. I ended up in the hospital. Then in a drug and behavior monitoring program with no access to the real world. Then i realized the truth. I was addicted. Its a bad addiction. So for all those that are looking to quit, please stay strong. It gets better the longer you go without it. But i still feel the small pangs of the addiction, 14 years later. Its a constant battle. It messed my moods up.
Lost my family. And almost lost myself completely. So please stay away from it. Not worth it. You may be surprised to know that this term represents a seemingly common yet possibly dangerous medication. This brand uses a medication called dextromethorphan, which can cause hallucinations if taken in high doses. Triple C is typically swallowed but can also be snorted or injected.
The pill is usually available over-the-counter at drug stores, and some powdered forms exist. Triple C is usually safe when taken every 6 hours; but because of its effects, it is sometimes taken recreationally and in higher doses than recommended.
