Coricidin Cough and Cold (triple c's) Addiction?

My name is Katie and I am 16 years young... so I have been abusing Coricidin for about a year now. my parents swear I am addicted but I keep trying to tell them that the only reason I do it is because it is fun. They are now threatening to send me off to rehab so I have no choice but to stop. My question is, does Coricidin actually have addictive qualities?? I know it is mentally addictive but other than that is there any possible way there could be something more? Also, I am having some hard time even doing simple times tables in my math class, will I ever be able to comprehend things as fast as i used to or is that permanent brain damage that I have done as a result of the "triple c's?"

Any sort of help would be great... I am really lost and just want to prove to myself that I do not have an addiction :( Thanks.
