that's what i'm saying...i'm not saying dxm does that....it's that extra shit in tripple c's....that thing at normal doses is fine, because your body CAN handle at that point breaking it down and passing it t hrough...it's w hen you go taking 20, 30 or even 40 times the ammount that's too much that it causes problesm.....let me clarify...dxm is just fine..i've found no info to suggest even at 700-1000 mg doses does it have any REAL harm on your body (but i'm sure taking it all the time and alot can't be too good for you either) matter of fact i tell people that if they wanna do tripple c's type of drugs to get a bottle of 'tussin with only active as dxm.....i'll try to find the article that stated and described from a medical stand point (there are multipes that i've seen so i'm pretty sure what i have said is true) why tripple c's are dangerous.....
