Did I imagine that they can make you psychotic.
I bought so many.
I hope they don’t harm me. They’re so tasty.
My 2 favourite flavours are cranberry and lemon mint.

When I was psychotic I also thought sugar made the voices angrier.

Mmmmm sounds good.
Oh I am not sure if it’s the sugar on its own in cough sweets but rather, also some active ingredients in there.

Yeah sorry I didn’t notice they were sugarless.

Did you talk to your doctor to make sure there’s no harm in it? I mean I’m sure there’s a good chance it’s fine but if it were me I’d want to make sure.
Personally I get creeped out by the anesthetic property that numbs your throat. I suppose I can understand liking the taste.

Yea Idk what’s in there but somehow they taste better than normal candy.
I did a quick research just now. Apparently it’s DXM that is linked to psychosis these ones don’t have that in there.
Phew.

Oh okay yeah that’s what I’m probably thinking of, but I’m pretty sure cough syrup is troublesome simply because of like one key ingredient so if that’s not in the cough drops there would be no problemo.
EDIT: Oh wow the syrup had codeine? I’m surprised that was ever allowed in anything OTC given this country’s bipartisan stance against painkillers.

Yea that’s strange about the codeine.
Idk why they add that addictive stuff in an OTC medication.
I’ve never heard of that before.

My first and second psychotic episodes were caused by codeine. I can’t go anywhere near the stuff. I mean bad.
