Elizabeth - I really don't know what you can do about a cough; especially after checking my files and finding the following article in the Western Journal of Medicine:
It sounds like you unfortunately took a "fun" dose of DM. I wonder if the DES or BUPH inhibited it's metabolism, somehow; or if it had an additive effect with the BUPH. It shouldn't, but I've been wrong before.
Fisherman's Friend really has no "active" ingredients, just a little eucalyptus and menthol; but it works! Opiods that block the receptors in the cough center of the brainstem would probably work better than BUPH (ie. the lack of cougn control activity may have something to do with the agonist activity).
I'm not sure that you wouldn't get a antitussive effect with codeine (aside from the low doses talked about in the above article) or hydrocodone. You may also get the same exaggerated effect seen the DM. You could try lowering the DM dose to about a quater to a half and see if that works. It is always easy to titrate up, than get rid of the effect once it has happened.
The quote was from "I Am The Walrus" by the Beatles. It is about taking acid and going to a concert, where the anticipation of the band coming and sensory overrload of the crowd would make one feel even more detached from reality, than one would ordinarily be from taking acid. Hence, "sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the band to come" is imagery from this experience. I have also heard it explained as "walking on bubbles or bubble wrap".
Good luck peeing that bug out, Sweetie. - Cam
