1. the cough syrup had been ruining my body over a period of time (yellow skin=jaundice=liver not filtering out toxins properly)
2. I overdosed on tylenol pills, more specifically acetomeniphen, but the tylenol did, if i remember, have dxm in it. i didn't say i overdosed on dxm itself. I was told the lethal dose was 7 pills, i took 12. (don't remember the milligram quantity) the constant vomiting of bile and passing out sure woke me up
3. it isn't just the dxm, but as i said the other inactive ingredients like guasefien or however it's spelled that also do damage. just because it is inactive doesn't mean it doesn't do anything.

P.S. i was like 14-15 when all that shit happened, i thought i was invincible and i was a stupid kid. I just thought i'd let people know how fucked up cough syrup CAN GET. but it is your body your choice, some people get off differently, so more power to them.
