One mother reports that her 15-year-old daughter overdosed on cough syrup and ended up in the hospital. After returning from the hospital several days later, the first thing her daughter did was to drink another whole bottle of cough syrup. The girl now has frontal lobe brain damage.
Another family reports that their son can no longer even close his mouth due to extensive brain damage from abusing cold medicines.
Authorities say that teens are abusing all kinds of over-the-counter medications, but most of the medications have a common ingredient DXM, or dextromethorphan, which causes euphoria and dizziness. This drug is often referred to by the names Dex, Robo, or Skittles.
