I dont know whether or not to ask this here or in the advice board but I have been using cough medicine as an OTC dissociative and have noticed that I know have dp/dr, brain fog, and short term memory issues. I want to know more about how it might have contributed to it.

you don't need to quantify the harm you've done, there is no place to draw a line, except that you've noticed negative effects, which means it's time to climb on the wagon for a few years. After you've cleared up a bit you'll probably appreciate the return of what you've lost so much you won't be tempted to do purple drank anymore. You will have leveled up and can move on to cocaine!

Wasn't there a house episode about this? Some 200iq genius used cough syrup to turn himself into a normie.

How long has it been since you last used it? DXM gets metabolized into dextrorphan which takes a lot longer to clear out of your system. If you're using DXM regularly you might not be giving your body enough time to get rid of the dextorphan.

>purple drank
Purple drank is codeine/promethazine.

No evidence to support permanent brain damage, it will probably take a while for your brain to recover
