First some basic info: I was 18 at the time. Pretty overweight at 250lbs, standing 6 feet Tall. I was in poor physical shape, then.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I had been abusing DXM spontaneously. Robitussin had become too disgusting for me, so I got hooked on coricidin. Yeah, I heard it&#x27;s dangerous, but I&#x27;m a light dexer, so I figured it would be allright for me. It was a shitty trip, but I did it anyway. I think I was addicted.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Anyhow, the night of terror begun on April 16th, 2000. Me and a friend planned to go to a semi-local rave and locate some good old &#x27;cid. I had been dying to try LSD for 2 years, I was pumped. I figured, there&#x27;s a slim chance of us finding it, so I bring some good ol&#x27; coricidin with me.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;!-- Big mistake.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
 --&gt;After about an hour, we had given up on finding acid, so I go in the bathroom and choke down 16 coricidin. And when I come out, I hear &#x27;hey, I found it dude, go talk to the guy over there&#x27;. I can&#x27;t resist. If I don&#x27;t do acid now, will I ever? So I buy 3 hits of liquid LSD from this scraggly looking fellow for a good 14$. Down the hatch it goes.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I&#x27;m going around the party, just chilling out for a while, waiting for the drugs to kick in. After about 45 minutes, I&#x27;m starting to feel the coricidin, and it&#x27;s quite heavy. Each bass drum thump of the music vibrates through me, tickling my molecules. For  some reason, I feel the impulse to hand out all of the candy I&#x27;ve brought, telling people &#x27;here, I gotta get rid of this. I&#x27;ll be on the floor in a couple minutes&#x27; or &#x27;dude, trust me, there&#x27;s drugs in this&#x27; :) &lt;div class=&quot;pullquote-right1&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;pullquote-text&quot;&gt;I feel the impulse to hand out all of the candy I&#x27;ve brought, telling people &#x27;here, I gotta get rid of this. I&#x27;ll be on the floor in a couple minutes&#x27; or &#x27;dude, trust me, there&#x27;s drugs in this&#x27; :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
At about 60 minutes, I sit down, definitely starting to feel the acid. My vision and psyche go down the vortex first. Everything I was seeing in reality started going into this vortex, and I had these strange thoughts that would bounce off each other. If I had a positive thought, another thought would enter my mind that was negative. It was like, there was this little demon that would mock everything I thought. It was the start of a terrible trip.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
At 70 minutes, my senses started going away. I can faintly remember people trying to coerce me .. &#x27;are you okay?&#x27; &#x27;dude.. you must be fryin&#x27; balls&#x27; &#x27;do you need some water?&#x27; .. I was fading in and out of consciousness up until 90 minutes.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I can&#x27;t remember anything for the next 2 hours. People report that I was shaking uncontrollably, not responding, had pure black irises, etc etc.. Apparently some kind soul called 911 after a long period of time of me sitting there.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Apparently I was psychotic and the room I was in had to be fenced off. There were policemen and EMT&#x27;s all about me. I guess I was going violent on them. They had me fully strapped down to a hospital bed. Even my neck, I think, was strapped.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I don&#x27;t know what point I woke up, but it must have been real late. In the hospital I went through different periods of being &#x27;asleep&#x27; and tripping insanely (having hallucinations so strong that I couldn&#x27;t see anything with my peripheral vision). They had me on 150 cc&#x27;s (I guess that&#x27;s a lot, a nurse told me) of valium to slow my heart down.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
So more hours pass. I become sober enough to answer basic questions like &#x27;did you try to commit suicide&#x27; and &#x27;what&#x27;s your address&#x27;? This was very degrading. I was hating myself so much. The acid was tapering off, and I could see floaty colors and hear echoes. I had a nurse take off some of my restraints. I could tell that she didn&#x27;t trust me, but she did it anyway. I inspected myself and found many bruises about my arms.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
The next day, here&#x27;s what I found out. My heart was pounding away at 100-160bpm when they found me, and I was lucky to be alive. I can only imagine how long my heart sustained damage. Almost 3 hours, before the EMT&#x27;s found me. Fucking shit. My heart is gone. They kept me at the hospital for another day, with a catheter in me, and an iv hooked to my arm. I think it was potassium, or some sort of diuretic. The doctors asked more questions. I think a nurse told me that the police wanted to talk with me. That put me on edge.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Another day passed. I had fully recovered mentally. I did not know why they were keeping me. I was told it was the doctor&#x27;s orders. One of the nurses is actually compassionate. She gives me some words of wisdom: &#x27;stop doing drugs.. I did that when I was young, turn on to meditation instead..&#x27; Unfortunately I never followed that advice.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Day 3.. They let me out. I had to call my mother to pick me up. I had to explain what happened. I made my mother cry. The bill was pretty big. The hospital charged me 800$. &lt;!-- and my
&lt;br/&gt;
Family had no insurance for me. I toly my parents that I would pay
&lt;br/&gt;
This off myself as it was my mistake. I finally got a job, and a
&lt;br/&gt;
Life because of this. I stopped being such a hermit, which is a
&lt;br/&gt;
Positive thing, I guess. But working at a fast food restaraunt for
&lt;br/&gt;
5 months and doing computer repair on the side isn&#x27;t the most fun
&lt;br/&gt;
Thing in the world.
&lt;br/&gt;
 --&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Afterwards I was not the same, mentally and physically. I&#x27;m almost 20, now, and I&#x27;ve got the heart of a 50 year old. I haven&#x27;t seen a doctor, but I think I should. Ever since leaving the hospital, I&#x27;ve had a pulse that&#x27;s a little higher than normal, constantly, and my heart seems to beat harder than it should when I&#x27;m exercising.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;!-- 
&lt;br/&gt;
I haven&#x27;t touched coricidin since then, and stopped doing DXM entirely a year ago ( mostly because of the brain damage it does.
&lt;br/&gt;
My verbal circuits are sort of fried. )
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
You know when you have nightmares, and you wake up in the middle
&lt;br/&gt;
Of the night and your heart goes fast? Mine goes really fast. I
&lt;br/&gt;
Feel like I am soon to die. I hope this serves as a warning to
&lt;br/&gt;
Anyone considering combining coricidin with *anything*! --&gt;&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
