cough syrups are not good to have over 6months to a year then toss them. they double and triple there strength. unsafe and hope the children never reach them.its not so funny if you get poisoned at a toxic level. contact your doctor or poison control they can verify this. thanks Kat

Excessive use of cough syrup may do harm in our body. Some ays it contains Codeine in it. Codeine is classified as a harmful and prohibited drug. Thus, it will really do harm to you.....

I don't seem to have suffered any long term effects from it, and I robo'd ALOT when I was yournger. Felt like I just smoked a joint and dropped a tab, and they sold it at the dollar store!!! ahhhh....good times. I still drink double the NyQuil sometimes. The mixture that makes you dopey is the alcohol, the diphenhydramamine, (or benadryl) and the dextromethorphan hydrobromide, (commonly abreviated as DM)
