Answer: If you are taking the cough syrup as directed there should be no consequences or negative effects on your health. However, if you are taking excessive amounts of cough syrup( maybe you are just taking more because you think it will work better,maybe you are taking the maximum dosage for more than a week or two, or your intentions are to get high) than there could be some serious mental and physical health problems Most cough syrups contain a drug called dextromethorphan, the risks associated with this drug in high doses are panic/anxiety attacks and paranoia/psychosis. If the cough syrup also contains acetaminophen than this can cause liver damage/liver failure in high doses (4000mg and up; lower for children) If it contains guaifenesin than the only risk is severe nausea and upset stomach.
