They weren't pulled because of "rare misuse." They were pulled because a recent study showed that dextromethorphan (sp?) is not effective in infants and young kids so the cost of the rare misuse outweighs the uselessness of the meds.

And btw, dh has said for years that the cough syrup doesn't work, but would you rather have to give codeine? PITA all around I guess, but the discussion of whether placebos should be allowed to be recommended is probably one for debates. As I understand it, codeine OD is much worse.
ETA: The issue is being taken up at the FDA right now so additional meds on the list strike me as red herring. I hate the media.
