[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 477071"] As for cough syrup-huge problem with even OTC stuff. Kids call it robo-tripping or drank or syrup- and few other dozen names. Popular topic in a lot of rap songs. Problem is that when you start mixing opiates and alcohol, your body forgets that it needs oxygen and the breathing reflex gets shallow, carbon dioxide levels get sky high, people start acting crazy and everyone laughs because "look they're so high" not realizing that they're getting the crazies due to too much carbon dioxide. And then they go into cardiac arrest. Which a local HS junior did during the homecoming dance this year. Lucky kid- defribrillator on site and paramedics 2 minutes away plus plenty of level headed sober adults who knew what to do. An hour later he would've been at an "after party" and maybe not so lucky. Speaking of which-opiates are a huge danger for anyone with sleep apnea as they dull the all ready poor breathing reflex. My dad had apnea and had dangerously high carbon dioxide levels post surgery due to the pain medications. Partly responsible for the bad outcomes that eventually caused his death :-( Our pediatrician - when the boys were babies - was a strong advocate against parents having ANY rx narcotics on premises due to the potential for unintentional poisoning because the outcomes were almost always fatal [/QUOTE]
