better known to car sickness aficionados as Dramamine or Gravol
used to prevent or treat the nausea and emesis (barfing, puking, ralphing, spewing, vomiting, that sort of thing) associated with motion sickness, radiation sickness, being under general anaesthesia, chemotherapy, Ménière's disease, etc.
is actually a combination preparation of two drugs: diphenhydramine (also known as Benadryl, an antihistamine that produces sedation and helps alleviate allergies, nausea and vomiting) and 8-chlorotheophylline (a derivative of theophylline, a relative of caffeine found in tea that is used to counteract the sedation of the first drug)
in large doses can cause convulsions (young children are particularly susceptible), ataxia (loss of muscle coordination), stupor (just like it sounds), hallucinations (yes, people do abuse it to trip out...but honestly, just spend the money on shrooms), coma, and respiratory depression

Wow, I had no idea about the hallucinations, although I'm not suprised. I swear on my mother's grave that I once had hallucinations on Nyquill when I was really sick. It was wild.
Hey Tessa. Yeah, it's actually pretty impressive how many drugs will make you hallucinate if you take enough of them. NyQuil will definitely take you on a trip, but I hear that you need to chug at least a bottle of the stuff for that to happen.
Dramamine will ABSOLUTELY cause hallucinations when more than the recommended dose is taken. Unfortunately, when I was a teenager, the huge fad at the time was "tripping" on Dramamine. We would generally take 8 to 12 of them at a time, and the strange effects would last for many hours. For some reason, a very common hallucination was smoke-- trailing from fingertips, emerging from walls, you name it. Anyway, I will confirm this one as fact, from personal experience.
I've tried dramaine too. It makes you incredibly tired but as soon as you let your eyes shut your body spases out and you are unable to sleep seeing as that will happen for a very long time. My cousin was in the room with me after i was finally able to sleep. My friend called to make sure I was ok and my cousin appaerntly asked me if I was ok. I responded with " is she ok? is she ok?" I dont remember that but its interesting none the less. I didnt really see anything that didnt exist but my vision was definately skewed and dream like. I couldnt stop staring at my face in the mirror because I looked so weird. Also when you talk, which I did a lot, you never think about what you are going to say before you say it. Its as if the thoughts never even came from your head. The words just shoot out of your mouth. The ironic thing is that you realize for a split secound that what you said might not have made any sense, but then instantaniously you forget all together what you just said. I'm glad I tried it but I wouldn't make it a regular thing... its not that great.
Actually, pot is classified as an hallucinogen and even in small dose can make some people hallucinate. however it is rare for pot to cause hallucinations, but it can happen.
Yea I tried it once. Its pretty cool and worth to try it once but be careful the dramamine will want you to take more then you should. I took 12 and that was my first time. You should test 4 allergic reactions though.
What happened with me was it looks like the walls are kind of melting but I did not have any really scary things pop out at me. My parents kept calling me so I had to go downstairs and my dad is like "I am not sure how I pay it like that." and I'm like you want to learn how to play it? Then he's like r u ok and u slur u words some. I then realized wut I said and I corrected myself. I no it sounds random but its like a really weird feeling. I might do it again. Be careful.
Cough medicines with Dramamine do cause you to hallucinate, however dont mix with alcohol. and its better to get just a no name brand of it so theres no other dangerous chemicals like acetaminophen, which can cause liver failure in as little as over 4-5 grams in 24 hours. one time i took 40 DM liqui gels, yes 40 (15mg Dm/gel), 600Mg of Dm.. NEVER TAKE THAT MUCH... i personally have discovered that my body is very tolerant to drugs, i even took acid and didnt hallucinate.. well the SAFEST way to do it is to "test the water," take 2 pills every 5-10 mins for an hour... wait another hour.. then take 2 more if needed
I have taken Dramamine since I was a child for motion sickness. I still currently take it. But I also use it now to sleep I take 4 dramamine or 4unisoms, benadryl or tylenol pm. I also tried a natural one called melatonin but it caused me to have bad nightmares.
dont do triple cs' coriceden coff and cold, less you wanna puke your brains out with tha runs tha next day, if not juss die. if dxm'in it, go with active ingredent(ONLY DXM). juss chug a 3-5 oz bottle of delsym. and dramamine, shits retarded iv done it a couple times. allthough, yes it does trip you out, a very gay trip thow
I was thinking if you take quite a bit more than the recommended dose, it could kill you. Doesn't sound all that dangerous to me, if people are taking so much just to trip. Maybe if you mix it with alcohol?
I've taken Dramamene and Coricidin many times. As a daily pot smoker and drinker, I've found that 'pot' can become less and less exciting. When I was around 15, I began experimenting with OTC drugs. Coricidin (Triple C's) was my favorite of them all, although they include HBP which adds a risk factor, the high was some what worh it. And it allowed me to take a break from bud including that my need for a high was satisfied with heavy amounts of alcohol and pills. I do not reccomend anyone else to fool around with OTC drugs, I overdosed once, but for the most part I was careful with my intake of narcotics. I got my tolerance up to about 35 Coricidin pills a day, and overdosed as I gambled with 49 (Which I'll never try again). I've been sober for just over a month now, and happy to say that I've welcomed Coricidin back into my life.
I took 24 dramamine my first time and tripped hard I completely forgot I took anything I thought everything I was seeing was everyday stuff some how I ended up across the street in my neighbors yard at like 2 in the morning talking to his bushes thinking they were to friends of mine he comes out and asks me what Im doing I say hanging out with my friends he's hes like what friends and I point at the bushes and say these are my friends it was hella funny.
While on 12 no name gravol pills, I hallucinated spiders and ants crawling all over me. I could see them as if they were real. I also hallucinated a family member! What was trippy is that they materialized out of other objects in the room. Even though I knew i was tripping out on drugs, to look at them was as real as anything. The bug thing was pretty cool, but I can see most people freaking out. definately be careful if you plan on trying this. BE safe!
Combinations of any of the substances discussed in this blog or even high enough doses of any single one of them is a recipe for death.
I have seen too many friends and acquaintances die this way.
This is NO JOKE!
I can't express in words how deadly-dangerous combining or taking too much of these over-the-counter drugs is and can be.
If you don't care enough about yourself to not play around with these deadly drugs the, PLEASE, save your friends and family the heartache of being the person to try and wake you up, only to find your cold, stiff, and lifeless body.
I am dealing with this issue right this very minute with my mom. She fails to hear my words of caution and I can only pray that God will intervene now, before it's too late.
i took 12 dramamine pills for my first time and tripped hard. it was very cool for the first couple hours. my body felt normal, not like smoking pot. everything was normal except for my perception. everything i looked at was distorted and wavy. then i fell asleep. when i woke up, i couldnt find my cousin who was sleeping right net to me. i walked on top of him and then went looking for him in the house and saw a bunch of black people walking around.. i kinda freaked and woke up my cousins parents and said 'there are black people walking around your house!' they got up and showed me nobody was there. i went back to sleep and woke up thanking god it was a dream, that is, until my cousins parents gave me a lecture about it.
i still swear to this day theyre were black people in that house. it was very cool and id like to try it again. if u do so, i advise you not to go to sleep until the high goes away.
Well Im at the end of a 15 pill no brand gravol,and my day today was pretty fucked. But what bothers me is that I didnt hallucinate fully lately. Oops theres a storm...or naw?There goes another frenzy of dots(flies squirting around. 8==ID, I was here deal crazy.
I tried triple Cs with 2 friends years ago when i experimented with different drugs, i didnt think i was gonna trip out the way i did. My 1st and only time, i took 16 pills, then after 20mins nothing happened so i started eatting hott cheetos and pickels and my friend told me to stop but i didnt care and continued to eat, then after an hour i started to get sleepy but as soon as i thought i was about to fall asleep i woke right up and ran outside and puked out all the hott chettos it was gross. Right after i threw up i went on this crazy trip we were all sitting in a circle outside and i thought my friends cousin could read my thoughts so i didnt wanna think anything personal haha. then i couldnt stop talking, and it was all nonsence, we were all talking to each other but it was all nonsence. I was saying all the times tables starting with 2 times 2. to 12 times 12.I felt like if i thought of something like fire id catch on fire, and i felt the fire spread all over my body. My friend felt like there was lil men walking on her and my other friend felt like bubble gum. Then when stood up to walk . It was like there wasnt any gravity and ifelt like i was walking on the moon. I went inside to the restroom and i freaked out at my reflection, i thought my face looked sooo weird. I feel asleep and woke up the next morning feeling great. IDK but my alergies cleared up. All in all id never do it again.
