I didn't anticipate this b/c there was no mention of nightmares in the package insert. However upon doing more research I found this site where nightmares appears all over the place. | This med hasn't helped my cough one bit. I'm not taking it again. Hot tea with honey and lemon, along with an over the counter cough suppressant are my drugs of choice for this cough and cold. | F | 68 | 1 days 100 MG 2X day | 4/7/2019 | 4 | Constant cough/ viral bronchitis | None at all. | Started taking this 3 days ago with almost immediate improvement.

The emotions I felt during were so strong. I'd wake up drained and feeling frightened. I searched side effects but dreams like this weren't listed.

I will never take this drug again. | F | 63 | 5 days 100mg 2X day | 4/16/2021 | 5 | Acute cough possibly viral | None I was able to get some rest. | M | 62 | 7 days 200 mg x 3 | 1/25/2020 | 4 | chronic cough | Some nasal stuffines. | It has definetly helped keep me from coughing as much. I can tell when it is wearing off and need to take another dose. | F | 61 | 7 days 200 mg 3X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | Bronchitis | I have asthma and this drug prevented me from bringing up ANY mucous, to the point I felt like I was suffocating/drowning. That never happened with codeine cough syrup, which is what I will be demanding going forward. Doctors are now expected to consider what's better for society rather than what's right for the patient in front of them. Ridiculous! | F | 61 | 1 days | 8/4/2019 | 1 | Persistent dry cough | Terrible anxiety on day 2. So bad that I thought I was dying. Moderate nausea. Vivid dreams. | F | 61 | 10 days 100mg 3X day | 1/22/2023 |
