Cough Syrup: An abuse of cough syrup that contains Codeine and dxm (dextromethorphan) is dangerous. Codeine, an opiate, and dxm, a psychoactive drug, are two very addictive substances. Cough syrup is a preferred substance to abuse for some because of its wide availability and low cost. Addicts drink these syrups undiluted or mixed with other drugs, juices or sodas. See your doctor if you are addicted.

Try taper or replace: With glass of water, when ever you have compulsion/perceived need for another dose of cough syrup. Otherwise you may need help from a psychologist, psychologist, or step program with an addiction counsellor.
