Friend taking drugs :(

My close friend has been taking DXM (I think it's that) for a few months and I don't know what I can do to help her. I'm worried that something really bad will happen to her from taking it, and if something did, like if she died or something really bad, I would be left to blame myself for the rest of my life! I don't know what to do, and I can't talk to anyone about. Does anyone have any experience of their friends taking DXm or other drugs? It wuld be nice to hear from you guys...

hmm well look up info on it...
its always good to know what you're talking about.
then:S...i think you should talk to her too...
good luck hun xoxoxo

I have grown up with drugs my whole life, my mom and dad...most of my relatives, i guess cause i'm so used to it, it doesn't bother me as much.
Most of my friends are into weed, but there are a select few who do the rest. They know it's bad, they know it's addictive, but most are depressed about something and that's why they turn to drugs.
The only thing you can do is express the way you feel, but let them know you're always going to be there for them. No matter what! Cause that's just what they need...a shoulder to cry on / or someone to confide in.
However be careful also cause they could be taking drugs for different reasons, so don't ever let anyone pressure you into doing them!

Are you saying that your friend is abusing cough syrup? DXM (dextromethorphan hydrobromide) is the active ingredient contained in common, non-prescription cough medicines like Robitussin, Vicks and Coricidin.

yep, abusing DXM robitussin. she took a whole bottle last night and it freaked me out so much. I can't handle it anymore. I want to give in, but I can't. I was so upset today, I just wanted to get out of this world. I know something bad is going to happen, and I don't want it to :( she means alot to me. When she was under influence or whatever you want to call it, she wrote like a letter to herself that she wanted her friends, including me. I don't know how long I can keep on being happy. I know I'm not going to do it, but yeah :( I hate it.

talk to her...but in the end its up to her to fix it. i used to do drugs...lots of them and my frends talked to me about it and it did'nt really mean a hting until i almost o.d. and i knew i had a problem...ahe has to want to stop it. thats the only way it will end.

I've tried to talk to her and now I'm running out of things to say. She knows I hate things like this and I'm giving her support. It was going to be a once off to see what it was like and shit, but it turned out to be an addiction. I'm just scared she's going to o.d or something worse. I don't want to lose her, I know something will eventuate and then yeah...
I'm falling apart cos of it, and I don't know why :( I hate not being able to help

even though your friend might not like hearing it, you have to tell her how you feel, explain to her that you're not trying to change the way she is, and let her know that you're not trying to run her life, but also explain that you're worried about her, that you care about her alot and you don't want to lose her. believe me if she really is your friend, than she'll listen.

Thanks heaps everyone :)
