Went to another chemist's today, and got told that it's clobutinol(sp?) that was taken off the market, not dextromethorphan.

She also said the tablets I wanted contained cl. rather than d. (which is odd, since they were listed on the mail-order site when I searched for d.); she had the lozenges I had had before, though (though in a slightly different packaging) as well as syrup, so I went with that since sucking the lozenges takes about a quarter of an hour and I found that annoying.

So now I have my sweet, sweet psychoactive drugs! Hopefully that'll keep me from coughing again this night.

The lozenges I use (when I really need them) have benzocaine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzocaine) and menthol. I used them when I had tonsillitis and nothing else helped. They took away the cough, and the pain, and the feeling....
That was in between sucking down probably gallons of tea, one cup at a time.

From Wikipedia I learn wonderful things: "Benzocaine can also be used as a fish tranquilizer." :D
