 1  bad cough Paranoia, suicidal. The most horrible time in my 55 years. I became extremely paranoid and suicidal. My wife had to literally lay on me in the bed to keep me from getting up in the night to kill myself. I ended up in lock-up in the psychiatric ward of a local hospital for three weeks, and took over a year psychiatric counselling and more drugs and more recovery from the symptoms from those drugs. After three years, I am finally getting back to normal. PLEASE EVERYONE READ THE FINE PRINT AND BE AWARE OF POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS BEFORE YOU START A NEW MEDICATION. M 55 6 weeks

 1  Persistent cough I recall a severe light sensitivity, which may have been due to the headache, and general sense of lethargy and confusion. I was on vacation and spent 2 days in the hotel in the bed with the lights off. I remember thinking that this pill was evil, which reminds me, I may have been having slight hallucinations. It did help with the cough. M 50 2 days
