Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of The Elevate Experience tackles a surprisingly dangerous topic: the misuse of over-the-counter cough medicines like Robitussin and Coricidin. Host Angie Manson and guest Tommy Legan dive into the hidden risks of Dextromethorphan (DXM) abuse, a practice known as "Robotripping" or "Skittling." They highlight how this seemingly harmless household staple can pose serious health risks, especially for teens and those in recovery.
Angie and Tommy share eye-opening insights into the psychological effects of DXM, which can mimic substances like PCP and Ketamine. The duo doesn't shy away from discussing the subtle warning signs that parents should be on the lookout for, especially as cold and flu season looms. From mood swings to secretive behaviours, they paint a vivid picture of what to watch for in loved ones who might be misusing these medications. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Angie and Tommy also offer practical advice on alternative remedies and stress the importance of staying informed. They remind listeners that even seemingly minor choices, like opting for cough syrup, can have significant implications for someone in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the sneaky dangers lurking in their medicine cabinet. Are you aware of what's really in your medicine cabinet? This episode might just change the way you look at those innocent-looking bottles.
