| 1 | bronchitis and sinusitis | About 30 min after taking (swallowing whole with full glass of water) itching throat, swollen tongue and severe dizziness with blurred vision. Crazy dreams. Cough not better. Feel like jello. Scared to finish prescribed time of 10 days! | F | 38 | 3 days 200mg x 2 | 3/7/2016 | 4 | Bronchitis | none noted | I would have these severe coughing fits that would come on very sudden along with chronic coughing throughout the day. These seem to help stop the urge to cough. I can still cough if needed but didnt have that constant "itch" in my throat as I did before. Seems like this would only last on me for 4-5 hours so I'd take this 3x a day and then the Tussionex at night. I could definitely tell when this would wear off. | F | 37 | 10 days | 4/7/2008 | 1 | bad cough | Has been of absolutely no help in relieving my cough. I hacked all night! Very irritated. Was looking forward to some relief and got none Waste of money! | F | 37 | 1 days 100 mg | 10/26/2013 | 1 | cough | bad taste | M | 37 | 3 days | 2/19/2005 | 1 | Cough | It did not suppress my cough. | M | 36 | 3 days | 9/15/2005 | 1 | Cough | Did not help at all. | Absolutely hate this medicine and doctors are constantly trying to prescribe it to me. Makes me feel they get some sort of pick back for doing so. | F | 36 | 1 days | 5/19/2015 | 5 | acute sinusitis with postnasal drip | No side effects. | Finally stopped coughing enough to get some sleep. Med worked great. | F | 35 | 10 days 200 MG 3xd | 12/12/2014 | 2 | upper respritory infection/ cough | Dry Eyes, Insomnia, Head Ache | Not really helping. It does slightly work for about 2 or 3 after hours taking it, but then I cough for 3 or 4 hours until my next dose. Waste of money for me. | M | 35 | 2 days 200 4X day | 8/27/2010 | 2 | asthma | Somewhat better breathing lesser coughs during night. Side effects for me are giving me a hard time to sleep, exercise and eat well. | Using with prelone and Flonase | F | 34 | 4 days 200 | 9/14/2015 | 1 | Bronchitis | Vomited multiple timed 30mins after taking meds. Felt lightheaded and confussed the next day... | Never taking this drug again | F | 34 | 1 days 100 | 10/27/2018 | 1 | Cough | Weird vivid dreams, like someone put all of my thoughts and ideas in a snow globe and shook it! Slight confusion early on. | Did not work for cough, made it worse by triggering my asthma. | M | 34 | 1 days | 12/31/2015 | 1 | Deep chest cough over 3 weeks | Seemed to help with the clout but made me very tired. Both nights I took this medicine I had very, very vivid nightmares where I woke in the middle of the night sweating and exhausted because I thought my life was flashing before my eyes. I was awake for hours after experiencing this. Not worth the cough relief. | F | 33 | 2 days 100mg | 2/28/2020 | 1 | Pneumonia | My anxiety sky rocketed to the point I was suicidal. Stopped taking it instantly and called the doctor who advised that as well. Could not sleep. | M | 33 | 2 days 30mg 3X day | 9/24/2020 | 5 | Post Viral (H1N1) Cough | None. I got a little dizzy about 30 minutes after the first dose. It subsided within minutes. | I have a HORRIBLE cough after having H1N1. The cough is worse than having the flu. This has worked great! It does not completely get rid of the cough, but it brings it down to a less severe, manageable level. | 32 | 4 days | 10/26/2009 | 1 | Pneumonia | Extreme dizziness, body has numb feeling, fatigued. | . | F | 32 | 1 days 100mg 2X day | 2/7/2014 | 1 | Pneumonia | Felt like my throat was swelling up, difficulty swallowing , burning eyes and dizziness . Pills were taken as directed . I did not chew them. I ended up losing more sleep trying to wait until the side effects to wear off. | F | 32 | 2 days 100mg | 12/8/2012 | 1 | Bronchitis | Within 30 minutes I began having terrible anxiety. I was bouncing my limbs trying deep breathing exercises, constantly thinking I was going to end up in the hospital in the middle of an omicron wave. I thought it was some kind of interaction because there was no information about it on the internet until I came across this forum. This drug needs to be looked into. | Will not be taking this again. Adding it to my allergy list. | F | 32 | 2 days 200mg 3X day | 1/13/2022 | 3 | Bronchitis | Very, very vivid and insane dreams. | Helped with cough, however my side effect with the dreams made me stop taking it. | F | 31 | 3 days 100 | 5/10/2018 | 2 | Upper respiratory infection | My Dr. was on vacation this week, and his replacement gave me these, which I've had before and found them ineffective. But being desperate, I took one. About 30 minutes later I realized that my breathing was labored and my eyes were burning. The Dr.'s solution was Benadryl, which knocks me flat out on my butt. Needless to say, I'm not taking these any longer and I'll be suffering through my cough. | F | 31 | 1 days 200mg | 7/28/2014 | 1 | Cough | This medicine made me unable to BREATHE!!! I went to urgent Care to appease my boyfriend. He hounded me about taking the meds they prescribed even though I felt the intuitive urge not to... As soon as I took one, about 30 minutes later came a cough episode from hell, with my throat closing up. Thought maybe it was cold air. Took another one. Same thing. This time chest tightness and burning. I went to another urgent care where they gave me a breathing treatment and a z pack for suspected bacterial bronchitis. I came hm and told my man I think it was a side effect of the meds. He said let me take one, I've been coughing a little let's see if it works for me. 30 minutes later he had a migraine from hell and a fever. DON'T TAKE THIS TRASH!!! | F | 30 | 1 days 200mg | 12/11/2017 |
