Does anyone out there know what a new drug called Triple C can do? My step-daughter took 8 of these pills on Monday. She told my daughter they make her feel drunk. Please help if any information. Thanks

Hi, Triple Cs are Coricidin, which is a cold medication bought over the counter, and are made for people with high blood pressure. Kids have started taking these some years ago as a means to 'get high'. What is actually causes the user to feel like, is that they are 'tripping', like as if they were on mushrooms and the like. they can also use some types of cold medicines that can have this same effect. The way they 'get high' on these, is they rinse off the outer coating of the pills, which is put there to make people sleepy so that they dont feel these 'trippy' effects of this medications. then they take a bunch of them and 'get high'. The effects lasts for a very long time, like hours at the time. It causes slight hallucinations and visualizations, as well as feelings of 'out of mind and body' experiences... needless to say this isnt very good... Stores have started to keep a very close watch on this type of drug usage. you have to be 18 to buy them, and cant buy more than one box... im sorry to have to tell you this, but hopefully i have helped, please feel free to ask me anything else, and i hope everything works out for you and your child... lesley

Hi, I am a new member, I know your post is 3 months old. But I was wondering if you step-daughter is still abusing CCC?
My son is an addict and this is his drug of choice. He has yet to find help getting off this stuff.
