HELP omg so sick and have ? about robitussin

Published

So I took robitussin last night after like reading the bottle like 10 times making sure no alcohol. None listed. However it has dextromarphan (spelling). I looked it up and it said it would give a false positive if you took like a massive quanity like 600 mg, is that true. The cough syrup has 20 mg of tand guafinissen only nothing else, every four hours. Am I screwed having taken 2 doses?

By massive i mean 2 extra strength every 6 hours. For me someone that is not fond of taking pills on any type of regular basis that is quite a lot. i am not one of those people that will take tylenol for just anything, something has to be wrong. sorry for the misunderstanding.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR ADVICE AND WELL WISHES. I think Tamiflu is the new antibiotic for the flu because I am feeling much much better this morning. Back to going to meetings and being a sober mommy. Yay.

Good for you I'm glad you sought out treatment in my first attempt at TPAPN my employer was aware if I had any medical or dental issue come up I could be off work as long as 2 weeks and this would not be ok. If even 1 dose of anything would cause a positive test to make sure neg test was on file before return to work this made me very scared because I needed that job so ,I ignored my health ,needless to say it didn't work out well at all and I lost job anyway and had to restart TPAPN all over a cracked infected tooth. So the moral of my story is don't forget to take care of your self it will serve you well in the long run.

It's too late to help this time, but I can't tell you how much saline spray has helped me since I dare not take much of anything. I've been told I can take Claritin but I only take it when I'm desperate (I don't want trouble with IPN over a cold!) Ocean nasal spray provides a nice gentle saline mist and Arm and Hammer Simply Saline nasal spray provides that neti pot sinus douche experience from a sterile container. It's effective, natural, and doesn't show up on a drug screen!
