[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 82117, member: 1967"] Kjs, My difficult child had a similar experience when she was 16. She collapsed in the shower and we ran in there and had to pull her out. Her eyes were dilated and I kept asking if she had taken something and she denied that she had. We went straight to the ER where the doctor said he thought she was just dehydrated and had gotten dizzy and fell. We found out a year later that she had actually taken an handful of Coricidin cold tablets that kids use to get high. It is called Skittles. The problem is that dextromethorphan won't show up on standard drug tests. Skittles are a very big problem with younger teens. It is often the start of drug use. I had a student collapse in my class last year and it turned out that he had also taken too many of the cold medicine pills. I'm not saying that is what happened here but be on the look out for cold pills. They use the Coricidin High Blood pressure pills (CoricidinHBP) to get high. After I found out what my difficult child was doing, I found some in our medicine cabinet. I hope it turns out to be nothing serious. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
