Is it normal i once did cough medicine and never felt the same?

a couple years ago I went through a druggy phase in which I just wanted to get as high as I possibly could and stay that way. I had a couple really terrifying experiences on cough medicine, in case you don't know that shit's dissociative sort of like PCP or ketamine. I know it was dumb that I did it I blamed the guy that pushed it on me saying it would just make me feel good and nothing about blacking out...I know I still took it and drank it and refused to puke it. I've just never felt quite right since, kind of numb like I can't really feel objects in great detail, Idk if I can think the same way, sometimes I say funny things inadvertently and I don't realize they're weird or stupid until people laugh at them.

    i went thru that phase too man,
    always thought me and my friends were the only ones.

    but it is normal for you to feel like that.
    i was taking 32-45 tripple c's at a time just to have what i called "the craziest night of my life"
    and i, too feel what you've described above,
    i just think other people who havent gone thru this wouldnt understand.

    I've heard similar stories from people who smoke pot for the first time and are "never quite the same" afterwards. My guess is that you might have depersonalization disorder.
    I have a dissociative disorder and using dextromethorphan actually made me feel things MORE intensely after doing it, but that probably is even less normal.

    I would recommend going to a therapist. There might be a nonphysical cause, like some sort of trauma you experienced from the drug, or maybe a latent one that the drug brought out (this happened to me).

    I got really high on that shit before, it fucks you right up, but I usually felt normal after a day or so, a good sleep and a few joints, I feel fine.

    I know exactly how you feel. I went through the same thing recently and most likely OD on nyquil. I think something changed in me after that, my thoughts don't process the same way anymore. I just don't feel the same as I used to.
