| 4 | Bronchitis | No real side effects other than relief initially. The stuff really works. I accidentally took a little more than a tsp on the 3rd day and experienced an unfortunate narcotic high. I was spaced out and itchy. It wasn't fun. | Measure carefully. | F | 37 | 4 days | 11/2/2009 | 5 | Cough/ Whooping Cough | itchy.. spaced out | its amazing.. Its not that expensive... $15...totally worth it!! totally helps. | F | 22 | 3 weeks | 10/28/2009 | 5 | Severe cough | Mild drowsiness that last appx 12 hours. | This is the only cough medicine that has ever worked for me. i first tried it after it was prescribed for my mother (lung cancer) Absolutely amazing medication. And as to the expense. I wait until my deductible is fulfilled for the year then I had my doctor write me a prescription for the full size dispensing bottle. 443ml, and no charge! One bottle has lasted me four years. I only use it when absolutely necessary. | M | 56 | 10/17/2009 | 5 | Flu | Extreme euphoria, no pain | I slept like a baby for six hours, then when I woke up I forgot that it was a 12 hour medicine and took it again. Was wired for the rest of the night. Made me feel well enough to go for a run. DON'T TAKE THIS AND DRIVE!!! | M | 17 | 1 days | 10/14/2009 | 5 | chronic bronchitis | sleepiness | As others have stated, this works when everything else fails. I've suffered through many bouts of bronchitis, and it's a miserable experience. Tussionex is seriously the only thing that gets me through the pain and sleeplessness. I've not had any of the whacked side effects others have mentioned here, but everyone is different and perhaps they just needed cut the dosage way, way down. I just went to my doctor's office yesterday for yet another round of bronchitis, and a new doctor sent me home with a 'lesser' cough syrup prescription. It was completely worthless and as a result I was up for hours, and everything is now more painful. So, yeah, thanks for that, doc. Needless to say I called back this morning for Tussionex and told them to stick with what WORKS. For doctors who are so 'afraid' of this stuff, maybe they have personal issues that interfere with their judgment regarding others. Maybe they've never had chronic bronchitis or pneumonia and don't understand just how worthless the other cough remedies are. Whatever. It's ridiculous to expect someone else to suffer through when there is a solution. Someone mentioned earlier that they wish it came in generic form. YES, it does. My pharmacy gives me the generic all the time. | F | 46 | 8 years | 10/9/2009 | 5 | Cough, sneezing, congestion | dizziness | I have had a very bad cold for 5 days, and have taken several OTC remedies, as well as prescription Clarinex and Singulair. Nothing worked until I took one teaspoon of Tussionex! Within half an hour I stopped sniffling, sneezing and coughing. I would not be able to function at work, but this is absolutely perfect for me when I can stay home and rest. | F | 51 | 1 days | 9/11/2009 | 5 | Mycoplasma/Strep Throat/Bronchitis | Euphoria, slight drowsiness, relaxation | Whenever I get sick, my doctor gives me this treasure. Not only is the medication completely effective against cough, throat irritation, and restlessness, it gets you high to boot! I wouldn't call myself a drug addict, but when everything is a blur, I want something to mess me up. Tussionex is literally liquid gold. | M | 20 | 10 days | 7/31/2009 | 5 | severe cough | drowsiness | I was forewarned about tussionex, so I've always limited use to a half-dose as a last resort. As has been mentioned, it instantly smothers throat irritation, tastes great, and knocks you on your keister. I can't imagine taking this stuff on a regular basis, but boy am I glad it's there when I need it! | F | 30 | 5 years | 7/2/2009 | 5 | Coughing | Drowzy but can not sleep for long I wake up about every hour. Very vivid dreams. Dry mouth. Wired | My allergies get real bad about twice a year, it causes me to have alot of nazal drainage, which settle's in my chest or throat and it causes me to cough constantly just trying to get it out!! Gross but true! My doctor started me on a codine cough syurp that was awful almost made me throw up just smelling it. It was a cheap and stopped the cough but it was so nasty it would even make me sick several hours after I took it. I complained to my doctor about this and he finally prescribed Tussionex a couple of years ago. It stops my cough instantly . . but I can not sleep very well, I doze off but wake every hour or less. I have very vivid crazy dreams not scarry but real busy that seem to last forever, I mean I wake up from the dream and when I doze off again I go back to the same dream.. weird huh! But I will say I don't cough and that is my goal. Last wednesday I fell and brusied my ribs, everytime I coughed I thought I was breaking something. I went to anothert doctor as this happened while I was at work. He prescribed Tussigon pills. I hadn't used the pills before tonight as I had some Tussionex left. I have taken 2 pills even though it said 1 every 4 hours I wanted to go to sleep and not wake till morning. But as you can tell I am up and semi wired as usual. I have been getting about 2 real hours of sleep a night and I am feeling very sleep deprived. I give a gold star to Tussionex for it ability to stop the cough and wish it would let me get the sleep. I guess everyone reac | M | 61 | 1 weeks | 7/1/2009 | 4 | Bronchitis | None | Worked well and slept well but took a while for the first dose to take effect. Would recommend taking first dose a couple of hours before sleeping. Pharmacist gave me pipette to ensure exact dosage taken - this makes it easier. | F | 39 | 5 days | 6/9/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis and Strep | slight lightheaded feeling along with the inability to concentrate | I've been taking tussionex everytime I get strep or bronchitis for about 10 years now. It is the only cough syrup that has ever been able to alleviate my cough and allow me to sleep. Just like any narcotic, it is not without it's side effects and it will make it difficult to focus. | M | 26 | 7 days | 5/26/2009 | 2 | bad cough keeping me awake | very slowed breathing | i took this to help me sleep when i had a bad cold. the doctor seemed reluctant to prescribe it and i see why. this should not be used lightly, this is serious stuff. i took only the one teaspoon as prescribed. it stopped my cough and helped me sleep but i kept waking up and realizing that i wasnt breathing, or breathing so slow that i thought i had stopped. i was okay with it at first because at least i was sleeping. i took a second dose 12 hours later, 24 hours prior to writing this, and i'm still feeling the shallow breathing effects. this medicine definitely works but i'd try other things before this, and i'm definitely not using it again. | F | 27 | 1 days | 5/12/2009 | 5 | chronic allergies/bronchitis | A little dizziness at first but now it does not affect me. | My doctor prescribes this for me on a regular basis. I used to get brochitis about every six months. I haven't had it in over a year because the Tussinex keeps my sinuses under control where before a sinus infection would quickly turn into bronchitis. | F | 52 | 5 years | 5/8/2009 | 5 | Cough | I take ONE teaspoon at night (not every 12 hours as directed) because that's all I need and within 10 minutes the cough stops and I'm able to go to sleep. Nothing else works as well. | F | 49 | 3 months | 5/6/2009 | 5 | Flu, bad cough | None, other than the usual and expected narcotic effects | Have used on and off for 20 years. When I get really sick about every other year, I really count on this to help me sleep and knock out the rib-tearing cough. Have tried many others, but this stuff WORKS. | M | 54 | 20 years | 4/28/2009 | 5 | extreme coughing, walking pneumonia | I experienced dizziness and headache the morning after. I am prone to headaches so taking a couple of Advil got rid of it. Also drank alot of water, as it does dry you up, including your sinuses. Waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom I walked very carefully so as not to fall over. This is powerful stuff, but it works! | Slept well and it made the severe coughing stop. Read the pamphlet your pharmacist provides regarding the side effects before taking this, and you'll be aware of what to expect. If you have to be at work in the a.m., take a smaller dose the previous night (and not too late) or you may be lightheaded till noon. I was very happy with it, as I had a gut-wrenching cough for weeks and nothing took care of it until I took Tussionex. On weekends I could use it every 12 hrs., but weekdays, I only took it at night. Once the coughing subsided, only used every other day. Now using every 3rd or 4th day and in a smaller dose. | F | 45 | 2 weeks | 4/2/2009 | 5 | For Fun | I experience lot of emotion. happiness, love, desired attention, wiredness, itching, slower heart rate... | First time users takeing Tussionex, Its reccomened you take smallest doses for your symptoms, otherwise you could fill the side effects for up to three days, no bullshit. If taken correctly, you should supress a bad cough,sleep well, wake up fillen ready to start a new day. As for me, Im from Houston, Tx, so taken massive doses of Tussionex or any other Narcotic cough syrup is a must. I usually drop 4oz. of Tussionex in a 20oz. of Big-Red soda(best combo)or your favorite fruity drink, and yes, within an hour, drink it in its entirety. Most would say that we are retarted, and should seek help, it basically comes down to fillin great, even if youre haveing a bad day. | M | 25 | 400 weeks | 4/1/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis | A little wired, but once I fell asleep I had no problems waking up from my cough. | This helped me greatly. It is the 2nd time I've been prescribed it and it works like a charm. It seems as if most others who have had very strong side effects have perhaps taken too much. I'd say just cut the dose. It is the only thing that has ever helped me sleep with a cough like the one I had. | F | 24 | 8 days | 3/31/2009 | 5 | flu | a little sleepy | Tussionex works but is expensive. The reason it is expensive it uses a delivery system that allows for the patient to take this medication every 12 hours. All liquid prescriptio, narcotics are taken every 4 to 6 hours. The 12hr dosing actually will help reduce side effects. Tussionex only gives you 20mg a day of Hydrocodone when taking properly, this is much less than other hydrocodone antitussives on the market that are dosed much more frequently. Also Tussionex is at least 4x more potent than Codeine based drugs, hydrocodone and codeine are not the same. Hydrocodone is a much more effective cough suppresant than codeine. You also experience less side effects with hydrocodone than codeine. When taken properly tussionex is the safest and most effective cough medication available on the market today, Remember always uses a dosage spoon that you can get from your pharmacist and NEVER use a household teaspoon. All teaspoons are not measured the same and can lead you to use to much medication. Hope this helps. | 7 days | 3/29/2009 | 5 | cough from lung problem | Off and on insomnia at night and always tired during the day. Slightly reduced respiration and confused thinking. Absolutely could not drive on the stuff, had to be driven everywhere and couldn't work. Mild constipation. Massive diarrhea after I discontinued use and flue like symptoms, after tapering off slowly. But I was on it for a long, long time. | The only thing prescribed me that worked for my cough. Allowed me to sleep good for the first time in ages. It's a heavy duty narcotic cough syrup, take appropriate precautions. I was drinking a bottle of Dayquill/Nyquill and Delsum in about thee or four days with zero relief. Pulmonologist finally put me on Tussionex after trying something called Tusson Pearls which had no effect. Tussionex was the second Rx cough syrup, tried something weaker before it with no relief. Works like a charm and I can see why people get addicted to it. I was on a prescribed 10ml every 12 hours because the cough was so bad from my lung problem. It was a nightmare to get it filled every single time because that's double the recommended dosage. | M | 35 | 18 months | 3/27/2009 | 5 | bronchitis | nothing bad! helped me sleep | Worked GREAT for my cough!! I actually got some sleep without waking up coughing my head off. | F | 24 | 5 days | 3/13/2009 | 2 | Flu/Coughing | Wired/Still Coughing Badly it seems the cough is worse than better | My daughter was given this medicine on Monday due to having the Flu and her cough being bad. It has made her wired. she is 10 years old and only gets 1/2 teaspoon every 12 hours. Her cough is no better I can not tell it helps if anything she is coughing harder this morning...Not to mention the PRICE she was prescribed 150 ml and my copay was $60.00 and that is with INSURANCE. What a rip off. I would suggest Delysim or something that you can purchase without a prescription.. | F | 35 | 2 days | 3/10/2009 | 5 | dry, hacking cough; sinus problems | Wired; could not sleep | I love this medicine. It knocks out the cough quickly and helps with the sinus symptoms. Like I said above, unfortunately it does make me wired. But, I'll take wired over feeling sick and hacking anytime. | F | 39 | 7 days | 3/5/2009 | 2 | Cough/Cold | I found this medicine worked no better than any other over the counter medication. Tastes better than most. It said to take it twice a day and when i took it during the day I still coughed. It may have helped for the night time cough. It didn't make the cough go away as I had thought. | F | 30 | 5 days | 3/1/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis/chest cold/cough | Slight dizziness at times, itchiness, feeling "out of it" at times. | This is the only thing that works for my cough but I do have ups and downs with it. One moment I feel normal. The next I feel completely stoned and out of it. I also get a little itchy with it but I have a sensitivity to codine so I suspect that's what it's from. Not bad enough to keep me from taking it. I would recommend this but use caution when driving or doing anything that requires you to have to pay attention for safety. Otherwise, this is a great drug and a lifesaver for a bad cough. | F | 31 | 5 days | 2/28/2009 | 5 | Cough related to asthma/bronchitis | Very sedated, some mental confusion, dizziness, impairment of visual acuity and judgment. | I've used Tussionex several times over the last 12 years for cough secondary to asthma/bronchitis combined with colds due to allergies. Despite side effects, I was able to sleep a full 8 hours. Clorpheniramine is also in Dristan tablets, but Tussionex contains about 4x the amount to really knock out what's ailing ya. I LOVE the sweet lemon creme taste and the comforting numbing of my throat upon swallowing. Throat relief is near-instant, where "sniffles" should be gone by the time you wake up. Do not even try to drive when on this medication, because of the impairment of judgment being quite intense, or just take a half-dose. Also, be certain to take time off from work. I gave Tussionex 5 stars for being the best relief for my frequent suffering. | M | 44 | 2/25/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis,sleeplessness from cough | Relaxation | This cough medicine worked great and I did not feel strange, drugged up, or high. I actually slept the whole night without being woke up from coughing. Take the medicine in ½ teaspoon intervals if you are worried about feeling too drowsy. People with extreme symptoms must have taken too much. Take the prescribed dosage or less and you will feel fine the next day. Unfortunately, the medicine did not help much with my sinus symptoms, but it really helped my cough and throat symptoms. This medicine works awesome, just take it correctly! | F | 25 | 2 days | 2/19/2009 | 4 | Dry non-productive fitful cough | My daughter was prescribed this med, her cough was very disruptive to her sleep and her all day activities.No over the counter meds worked. | She was on Hydrocodone for a broken leg. That made her crazy and she felt ill. This med has Hydrocodone, but it isn't enough to affect her mind or stomach. So far, it is working well. It does not make her sleepy, so she can have a dose before school. 1/2 a teaspoon is the dose she takes. | F | 11 | 2 days | 2/18/2009 | 1 | hacking cough due to cold | I felt wired and could not sleep. | Save your money and don't believe the hype! Did nothing to abate my cough or cold symptoms. Better off with Benadryl or Nyquil. Very expensive; not worth it at all. | F | 48 | 1 days | 2/11/2009 | 5 | cough variant asthma | slightly tired | I strongly agree with the other female who had cough associated with asthma. This is the ONLY med that has worked to control my symptoms which flare up an average of 1x a year (usually in winter) and can last 8 weeks! I have been dealing with this for 23 years and have yet to find anything that can control my symptoms like this does. To prevent a major reaction, I always water it down by half. This also makes it last longer. | F | 43 | 1/28/2009 | 5 | flu virus | well my mom first got the medication and she was fooled by the good taste of it..then the medication took effect and knocked her cold...and it got rid of her flu virus | Then I took it and I loved the rest this medication provides...however it does make you useless if you want to have relations with your spouse. my whole lower area was numb...but hey i had a flu virus as well. My mom has had to take tussionex again, but now she says it helps her with arthritis...no more pain. This medication is the best..I do wish it was sold over the counter. | M | 39 | 4 days | 1/19/2009 | 5 | BAD Cough | Fatigue. | An old but ethical GP prescribed this for me about 15 years ago. I had a dry cough so bad my ribs were cramped, causing me extreme and constant pain. Sleep was out of the question. This stuff put my lights out and helped me get a nights' sleep. A few years ago my Mom was diagnosed with COPD. She has a constant cough perhaps 7 out of 10 days. I told her about Tussionex, she got a scrip from her doctor, and she has used it since. In my Mom's experience and mine, if you have a debilitating cough, THIS STUFF IS THE REAL DEAL. BY the way, my wife thought I was nuts, the way I "worshipped" this medicine----until she needed it, and it worked, as usual. It's a last resort for her, but now she knows it works. | M | 53 | 15 years | 1/13/2009 | 1 | severe bronchitis | Racing heart, heavy sleep, vivid dreams, fatigue, sweats, body froze up, mouth clinched, unable to speak, unable to walk etc... | Started taking Dec. 28, 2008 . Duration 2.5 days. 5 doses total. Felt sedated. Slept heavily too. But by the fifth dose I was in severe trouble! All mucus dried up in nose, chest, and lost all saliva in mouth.I felt weak, neck started to severely tighten,jaw tightened,became difficult to move my legs to walk (as if being cemented on floor) and I could not speak due to clamped jaw. Son called 911. Ambulance came. Went to ER. I was scared out of my mind. I had a problem focusing as if I was seeing people speak but not always hearing them. Eyes were WIDE open with a gazed stare. My muscles stayed locked up. I was so stiff. I had shallow depressed breathing. I LITERALLY HAD THE SENSATIONS OF BEING NEAR DEATH! I tried not panic because I knew just how serious this way. I laid there helpless in the Ambulance and in the ER unable to speak to describe my symptoms. I was at the mercy of the ambulance and the ER to figure something out. I had cat scans, lumbar punctures for spinal fluid, blood | F | 43 | 2.5 days | 1/13/2009 | 3 | Bronchitis | Itchiness all over, tired during the day, wake up dry mouth, would wake up randomly early AM. | Medicine definitely works to stop cough. The worst side effect was the itchiness. Did not experience anything near a high from the codeine. | F | 28 | 3 days | 1/9/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis Type Cough | NONE....BECAUSE I TOOK HALF A TEASPOON AND THEN THE COUGH STOPPED AND I SLEPT LIKE A BABY. PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSTED THESE WILD SIDE EFFECTS OBVIOUSLY TOOK TOO MUCH OF IT. GOOD GRIEF...USE COMMON SENSE. | YOU CAN'T TAKE MORE THAN ONE TEASPOON MAX...YOU CAN'T TAKE A BIG DOSE AND NOT EXPECT IT TO AFFECT YOU. | M | 63 | 7 days | 1/8/2009 | 5 | pneumonia | euphoria; excitability; loss of appetite; dizziness; occasional restlessness; vivid dreams | Tussionex is the modern equivalent of old fashioned laudenum. The majority of negative reports that it incurs are the result of a poor understanding of the drug via negligence of the doctor or pharmacist to explain that it contains a generous amount of hydrocodone. When properly administered, this syrup will allay all cough and lull the patient into a deep and restorative sleep. It should be taken on a full stomach (as with all opiates, to avoid nausea), and never in excess. Unlike the obligatory labeled warnings of many weaker drugs, all advisements associated with Tussionex should be heeded in ernest. Locomotion or labor should not be attempted. Under its influence, the operation of machinary or motor vehicles should be completely out of the question. Noticable tolerance will develop after the first few days of consistent dosing. By this point, sleep may prove fragmented and disturbed, and an unfortunate dependance may have developed. Because of this potential and even despi | M | 29 | 10 days | 1/4/2009 | 5 | very miserable cough from a cold | none bad. great sleeping. | wonderful! I took 1/2 teaspoon (1 teaspoon prescribed) and I slept like a baby with no side effects at all. I had been coughing so badly I couldn't sleep for a week. This stuff works great. | M | 62 | 5 days | 1/2/2009 | 1 | Negative neurological effects. Impaired thought process. Inability to walk | My 88 year old mother was prescribed Tussionex on 12/26/08 and took it as prescribed once that evening and once the next morning. Early the afternoon of 12/27, she and my sisters set out on a road trip. The rest area stop was a nightmare. Mom's legs/feet would not work. My sisters ended up picking her up to make progress. After reaching their destination, Mom was moved around the house in a dining room chair. I also traveled to their location the next day and brought her wheeled companion chair. We would usually use that chair at times we would be engaged in extensive walking. It took Mom several days to recover her normal abilities. She will never take Tussionex again. Yes, it was expensive too-not covered by her insurance company. That should have been an indication to us - bad medicine. | F | 88 | 1 days | 1/2/2009 | 5 | bronchitis | Sometimes caused dizziness/fainting during hot shower the following morning. | It is the only cough syrup that will stop my cough. Without it I end up with coughing attacks so bad that my throat closes up, I can't get enough air, and I end up in the ER every time. Now whenever I get bronchitis and start coughing at night, I can take the cough syrup and it stops after 15 minutes or so, and I can sleep thru the whole night without any problems. | F | 25 | 12/29/2008 | 1 | respiratory infection | I felt drugged,unbearable headache,weird dreams, unbalanced, had to hold onto the wall or furniture to walk, it made me cough even more, so much so that my ribs and stomach muscles hurt like crazy, and my lungs felt dehydrated, but I still needed to get what was in there out...it became hard to breathe. | I can't believe this product is still on the market. According to the other respondants, you'll love the drug if you're into getting high. Personally, I think it is incapacitating....and you still have a cough and possibly a broken rib from all the coughing. | F | 56 | 1 days | 12/27/2008 | 5 | bronchitis | it made my whole body numb. It was like my body fell asleep before my mind did. | It works great to help you sleep...I was coughing all night and would only get like 3 hours sleep. After taking Tussionex I got a good night's rest. It DOES make you feel loopy, but I just made sure to take it just at bedtime so it wouldnt affect my day | F | 30 | 8 days | 12/22/2008 | 5 | i was zoned out,weird dreams, addicted, great feeling of a unusual high!!! | this is the best drug i had ever used its better then extasy or weed i get high of it until i have no more...i love this drug. i would die if i dont have a 3 ounces a day. i love it so much. the best is spreading some on your ciggerete and smoking it . oh my God the new generation of drugs!!!!! | M | 19 | 2 years | 12/18/2008 | 5 | sinus infection and bronchitus | I really only had sleeping problems, it gave me insomnia after about day 2. It works amazing for my cough, and it makes me sleepy but I just lie there in lala land and can't sleep, when I do I have some crazy dreams. It also makes my legs itch, besides that it works amazing! | Only taking the medicine as needed for cough. No particular length of time | F | 32 | 12/8/2008 | 1 | Severe cough; pneumonia | It worked. My mother gave me a single teaspoon to take to quiet my coughing, as I was having coughing fits every minute and it was very painful. Soon I had stopped. And at first it was all right; I started to feel warm and comfortable, and figured I might as well sleep and finally get a good night's rest. But it was one of the worst nights of my life! I tossed and turned in a half-awake state for most of the night, experiencing terrible feelings of fear, dread, and paranoia over unrealistic things [such as my bed causing me to go blind], as if I were on a bad LSD trip. When I did fully fall asleep, I was plagued by vivid nightmares that seemed to last for days. | No wonder why doctors are so reluctant to give this out. It's dangerous! | F | 17 | 1 days | 12/5/2008 | 5 | bronchitis | After taking it for a few days no side effects. | I've been on this on and off for over 35 years, I've tryed sooo many cough med and this is the only one that works!! | F | 43 | 35 years | 11/16/2008 | 4 | Upper Resp. Infection; COUGH | SEVERE itching. Had to take benadryl to get some relief. Drowsiness, heavy euphoric feeling. Dizziness. Urinary retention. | This medicine did help my cough, which was driving me crazy. It's a good product if you can put up with all the side effects. I thought when the pharmacist told me it would impair my judgement, he was just saying that as a precaution. This medicine, in my opinion is just like taking hydrocodone. If I didnt know any better, I would think it was. But, it helps the cough. | F | 19 | 1 days | 11/8/2008 | 5 | broncitous | none what so ever. i stopped coughing immediately, slept well and had no daytime effects. i took it in the morning and at bedtime. great product. | M | 64 | 4 days | 10/29/2008 | 5 | Sinus infection with bad cough/cold | nothing bad as of yet, noticed just a slight feeling of heaviness in lower body (legs)...small episode of diarrhea approx. 2 hours after taking initial dose of cough syrup..may or may not be related. | So far...GREAT. Started off as bad cold and within 3 days I developed a sinus infection (customary for me)..went to DR., got antibiotics for sinus, shot of prednisone, and was taking OTC Benedryl (which hypes me up)...developed cough and it settled into chest 2 days after DR. visit. Horrible cough, could not sleep, wheezing, rattling, ribs and back hurt tremendously, had coughing attacks and would pee (thanks childbirth)...just absolutely miserable. Dr. called in Rx for Tussionex...paid $50.00 with good insurance..but was well worth every penny so far. Just took first initial dose about 8 hours ago, feel very calm...very calm. ribs and chest/back muscles are not screaming out in pain...for some relief. Coughing very little, and when i do..it is manageable. Cough syrup is thick, but has hardly any taste..very pleasant..doesn't make you scrunch up face and hop around when it hits your tastebuds like some others. So far..I love it !!!! | F | 40 | 1 days | 10/26/2008 | 4 | Dry Itchy Persistent Cough | Extreme dizziness, mild nausea, anxiety, Dry mouth, itchiness all over | I've taken this before and knew it would work for my cough. My mistake this time is that I didn't use a measuring cup to measure out my dose and may have taken a little too much. I couldn't stop coughing when going to bed so got up to take it. I stopped coughing immediatel and fell asleep. If you can believe it, the feeling of dizziness and nausea woke me up. I got up to drink some water, and the dizziness really hit me. I had to call for my husband to carry me back to bed because I couldn't hold myself upwhile walking back to bed. I wanted more water the rest of the night but was too scared to get up again. I fell in and out of sleep all night, was itching all over. I don't recall feeling itchy the times I took this before. I finally got a good 2 solid hours of sleep before having to get up. By then it was 7 hours after taking the medicine. I wasn't feeling quite back to normal but was ok, just felt very tired. I struggled to stay awake while driving to work. It's going | F | 36 | 1 days | 10/9/2008 | 1 | Cough associated with pneumonia. | EXTREME nausea, the nausea bolted me awake at 4AM. Followed 30 minutes later by profuse sweating, cold/clammy skin, paleness (lost all color), stupor, felt as if I were dying. Husband took me to the ER, I couldn't put my shoes on, slurred my words, in and out of consciousness. | I took the recommended dosage, 1 tsp before bedtime. I took it at 8-9PM but the symptoms didn't hit me until 7-8 hours later, I believe this is an extended release formula, so that may have had something to do with it. I honest-to-god felt like I was dying, I had no other explanation! I sat on the edge of the bathtub and thought I was about to die, it was that bad. | F | 33 | 1 times | 10/7/2008 | 5 | Upper respiratory infection | Drowsiness, slight euphoria | Every time I get a head cold, it seems to always settle into my chest after 3-4 days, and I can almost bet on several consecutive nights of unrest due to hacking cough. This happened last year, and having no luck at my Primary Care MD, who told me to take OTC Robitussin and Ibuprofen, I ended up in the ER unable to take it any more. The ER doctor prescribed an inhaler and Tussionex. After the first dose, I was amazed. I didn't cough from 10 minutes after the dose until about 18 hours later, when I needed another dose. I used it for about 5 nights and finally my cough went away. Again, two nights ago I started with the coughing and sleeplessness -- went to my PCP yesterday, asked for the Tussionex (had saved the bottle from last year) and she wrote it up for me no problem. I slept like a baby last night, with no weird dreams or anything like others have described. Put my kids on the bus this morning and having started to cough again, took another dose and am cough free as of a co | F | 39 | 2 days | 9/30/2008 | 4 | severe chest congestion/cough | extremely tired, weak. The day after my 1st dose I could not keep my eyes open and work and couln't wait to go home. I went home and slept from 5pm at night through the next day into the night and until the next morning. woke up 3 times and went right back to sleep. Couldn;t care about anything but sleeping. I had to force myself to get up to go to work and stop taking the syrup at noon the day before. | I felt like I was having some pycholigical shut down wanting to do nothing but sleep and I slept like a baby. Now off teh medicine my chest if feeling heavy again, but you could die taking that stuff not knowing when you took it last and just a guzzle here and there. watch out! | F | 46 | 3 days | 7/24/2008 | 5 | bronchitis | I was EXTREMELY dizzy the first day [when I woke up from the 5 hour nap it caused]. Drowsiness...mild euphoria...I had this weird half asleep half awake halucination type thing previous posters have mentioned. A little anxiety | It completely got rid of my cough and I've slept 13 hours the last 2 nights. I have a stuffed dragon in my room that a friend gave me, and the hallucination/dream I had was that he was actually moving around...I couldn't tell if I was asleep or hallucinating though. I think the medicine is wonderful though. I didn't want to drive at all on it, and now I'm almost better and only taking it at night. I had it left over from a really bad sinus infection last fall. | F | 17 | 5 days | 7/18/2008 | 4 | Caughing harshly. | Euphoria, Itching, Chest pressure, Body control loss, Confusion, Drowsy but not sleepy, untill about two hours after taking the meds. Troubles paying attention. | In the morning the meds. make me slightly crazy. I need to be under a fan cause of the sweating. I need to be in bed all morning. It then keeps me feeling a big high during the afternoon. I take my second dose and then sleep away the evening. I take another dose, and stay up all night. It is very powerfull, i have taken many drugs that "may cause drowsyness" but this is a whole different thing. Works amazingly though. I can breath without coughing now. | F | 16 | 3 days | 7/11/2008 | 5 | Insanely sore throat and cough | Little itchy, urinary retention (as usual with opioids). tired, which is what i needed. | It's a great drug. It really is a mirical. My throat hurt so bad I thought it was bleeding. I looked it up online and the doc gave it to me no problem. my family doc is great. Now I'm feeling good (also have some antibiotics). I should be able to start practicing again for my bands big show in a few weeks. I'm a singer...so thanks Tussionex! | M | 24 | 5 days | 7/10/2008 | 5 | Upper Respiratory Infection - Cough | Light headed and spacey feeling. Extremely drowsy. | This medicine works very well to suppress a cough and when I do cough it is more productive. Do not try to drive or do other mechanical activities while taking this drug. You are impaired, even if you think you are not. | F | 43 | 5 days | 7/3/2008 | 1 | Mom took this to reduce coughing | Nearly complete short term memory | ELEMINATE THIS PRODUCT FROM BEING PERSCRIBED. IT HAS RUINED HER LIFE. | F | 83 | 4 days | 6/25/2008 | 3 | Cough | Sleepy, dizziness and light-headedness | I did help on reducing cough and made me sleep. I did not like loosing control like that. Rest of it in sink. | M | 41 | 2 days | 6/24/2008 | 1 | Persistent cough for 2-3 wks | Knocked out immediately. Needed extreme care to going to restroom at night due to dizziness. Collapsed on toilet and nearly limp until stirred conscious by husband and assisted to bed. | This happened to my mom as relayed to me by my dad. He called me at 5:00 a.m. after getting her back to bed expressing concern about what had happened. In retrospect I should have had him call 911. He had been up all night monitoring her breathing. No warning from doctor or pharmacist about how precisely the dosage needs to be measured (she used a teaspoon and web sites warn strongly against that). She may have overdosed but considering she is 83, this may be entirely too strong for her age and physical condition (135 lbs). This med may be too strong for many people (see below) and should be substituted with something more mild or lower dose initially to see reaction. Check out the FDA warnings issued in March 2008 (http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2008/NEW01805.html) and any more issued recently before using. Lastly, the prescription was issued by her doctor's ASSISTANT. My mom is known to have glaucoma and elevated blood pressure, and may be suffering from micro-strokes causing | F | 83 | 1 days | 6/24/2008 | 1 | Bronchitis | OMG...took this med for the first time last night before bed. It has been a wild ride! It did not knock me out, but instead kept me in a state between sleep and waking. Moderate itchiness...not overwhelming just annoying. Unbelievably wild dreams with heavy hallucinations. Finally couldn't take it...got of bed and writing this rating. | Did an OK job on the cough...but considering everything last night brought....I'd rather cough | M | 53 | 1 times | 5/10/2008 | 5 | bronchitis | none | I have ashma. Living in the northeast I have been persistently having recurring acute bronchitis from fall to spring. Doctor prescribed Tussionex 1 teaspoon every 12 hrs. I only took 1 teaspoon a day towards evening. This is the only med that has helped keep me from hacking/coughing thru night and allowed a full nights sleep. And in the morning I did not have to go thru the usual hour of sneezing/coughing/ and spitting trying to drain my sinuses. | F | 54 | 1 months | 4/25/2008 | 5 | bronchitis | dizzy in the morning if I took over the recommended dose. | I took exactly 1 tsp at night and I would sleep like a baby. No coughing and no waking up. This stuff worked wonders for me. I took it a week straight without any side affects or withdrawal effects. Tastes very pleasant to me - the best for any cough syrup I've tried yet. | F | 37 | 7 days | 4/7/2008 | 3 | Persistant cough | HIVES! | The medicine worked for my brother when he had a cough, but i took it for a couple days a few years ago and got hives.. my doctor said he's never seen anyone get hives from it before, so it must be pretty rare. It didn't help me out a whole lot, but i didn't take it for too long due to my reaction, just thought i'd let you know of this side effect | F | 17 | 3 days | 4/7/2008 | 1 | Bronchitis | Slept for four straight hours, woke up to talk to the wife, next thing I know, my heart was pounding, passed out, wound up in the ER. Scary. | M | 30 | 1 days | 3/16/2008 | 4 | persistent cough | Midday drowsiness | This worked very well in both easing my cough and allowing me to sleep at night. Perhaps a bit on the expensive side but effective nonetheless | F | 24 | 5 days | 3/14/2008 | 5 | flu, severe coughing | euphoria,some itchiness, lucid dreaming, numbness, feeling like a cloud... | I have a severe case of the flu, and I am on day 8 of being stuck in my house.(The first few days I felt terrible, but I'm feeling a little better now.) The doctor has prescribed me to tussionex, and that's been the best part of being sick! I've been able to take this drug right infront of my parents without getting in trouble haha it's great! Since I've been on it, I've sat in the same recliner all week watching Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, and Pink Floyd concerts. I'm starting to feel better, and my friends keep calling to hang out, but my parents insist that I wait til I'm fully recovered, and I don't even mind! I recommend this to anyone...sick or not.haha And I want to give a big THANK YOU to the FDA for approving this. | F | 18 | 4 days | 3/9/2008 | 5 | terrible cough keeping me awake | none. just doctor reluctance to prescribe because considered narcotic. | this is a superb cough medicine. for anyone who has had a persistant dry or wet cough that won't stop at night (like a previous poster, I was coughing so hard I was throwing up) this medicine stops the coughing and helps you sleep. Word of advice: take the medicine as prescribed to avoid side effects. If you generally don't take medicines or are sensitive to side effects (this has an antihistimine ie: constipation, dry mouth etc), half the dose intially and wait a few hours to see it helps with cough. Generally speaking this will make it more tolerable. Worth the cost!!!! | F | 38 | 2 days | 3/6/2008 | 5 | to get really high | couldn't go to work, but called in sick and watched tv | This rocked, better than smokin a lot of grass. Couldn't buy it at the Wal-mart though, you gotta go to the E.R. and tell them you got like the bird flu or something. | M | 23 | 5 months | 3/3/2008 | 5 | Bronchitis | Difficulty urinating. Euphoria. | Amazing results. Cleared my whole head and chest. Was able to breath deep through my nose and decreased the coughing significantly. It feels like an upper to me. My husband, who also has Bronchitis, experiences it as a downer. | F | 34 | 2 days | 2/28/2008 | 5 | Flu | A little anxious (need to be left alone) | It is wonderful to be able to take the medication and feel great after feeling so lousy. The only bad thing is that for those of us that are actually sick, we have to beg to even get a two day supply of the stuff. Gotta love those addicts who make it hard for those of us who really need the medication. | F | 30 | 2 days | 2/23/2008 | 4 | Pneumonia | Worked wonderfully for the coughing. I was able to finally get some sleep while taking this. However I did expereince some strange dreams not sure if I was awake or asleep kind of thing. I am on full bed rest so I dont have to worry about driving while taking this or working the next day. | It is expensive but worth the money. It stopped the constant coughing I have had for 5 days and I was coughing until I threw up. Anything that stops that is worth it's weight in gold! I can breathe easy and no longer have back pain from strained muscles due to coughing. Wonderful medicine! | F | 37 | 4 days | 2/23/2008 | 3 | flu with cough | Itchiness | This medicine did stop my cough but i couldn't handle how bad i was shaking and how much i itched. I couldn't sleep because i had to scratch my body everywhere at all times. I'd rather be caughing then scratching cause i know i could get another cough syrup without the itchiness. I can barely type this message due to the severe shanking and i'm numb. I can barely bend my fingers to even type. Craziness. But it did stop my caugh. | M | 22 | 2 days | 2/23/2008 | 5 | severe, dry, wracking cough | dry mouth; extreme sleepiness with first dose; warm, Demerol-like feeling; some difficulting urinating | Wow! When you need to pull out the big guns, this is it. I keep a bottle of this for "in case of emergency". When nothing else will do it, one teaspoon of this immediately stops the cough, and PUTS YOUR BUTT DOWN! Slept 14 hours and woke up feeling much better. The initial dose packs a whallop as far as side effects, and tails off with successive doses. | M | 57 | 2 days | 2/20/2008 | 5 | Severe cough | It caused me restlessness when I tried to go off of it. My advice is to step down gradually...i.e. go down to half a spoonful, then 1/4, etc. | I had a MISERABLE case of walking pneumonia for 2 1/2 months. Finally my doctor prescribed me Tussionex and it worked like a miracle. I had been getting about 2 hours of sleep a night for weeks and was finally able to sleep for 8-10 hours w/o waking up in coughing fits. This is the best and only cough syrup that has ever worked for me, and it tastes really good, to boot. | F | 31 | 10 days | 2/7/2008 | 4 | chronic cough,cold symtoms | Worked well for the cough, nasal drippage,congestion. Kept me awake at night,thought it would help me sleep!! It does-only the next day!! Had some difficulty urinating..Other than this wonderful feeling of euphoria... | M | 40 | 4 days | 1/31/2008 | 5 | pneumonia | just the usual sedation associated with hydrocodone | After hacking almost uncontrollably for over a week I finally broke down and went to the E.R. and it was revealed to me that I am suffering from pneumonia and was prescribed tussionex. After being cough free and able to rest comfortably since filling my script I have to agree with everyone referring to tussionex liquid gold. | M | 25 | 2 days | 1/23/2008 | 5 | Dry Hacking Cough- Unable to sleep | Side Effects- A stupid doctor that would rather I suffer than prescribe for me... He has known me for 20+ years and knows that I have NEVER abused...Quite the opposite... But when I do ask for the big guns, he cowers like a child because "its Narcotic"... Damn shame ! Side effects - Doctors are VERY reluctant to prescribe. I suffered no real side effects from the med. Only "front" side-effects from my docs reaction to the advent of having to prescribe a real narcotic. | Several years ago, I had Tussionex (From another doctor). It was extremely effective and allowed me to get several full nights rest. I can not sing the praises loud enough... However, It is meant for temporary use only...It is obviously and addictive substance. | M | 48 | 3 days | 1/21/2008 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | Lightheadedness, dizziness, jittery, teeth chattering, weird dreams, nausea | Will NEVER take this medication again. First of all, I have hypothyroidism; literature says to use with caution if hypothyroid; doctor said nothing, just prescribed. Don't know if this exacerbated symptoms. Did not suppress cough at all, just dehydrated enough so I couldn't clear my chest anymore. | F | 34 | 1 days | 1/16/2008 | 5 | nightime cough | None | really works. Stopped the cough and allowed me to sleep. | M | 43 | 3 days | 1/15/2008 | 5 | Bronchitis | Brief period of drowsiness, some constipation. | For those of you who have itching and from the medication, you are probably allergic or sensitive to Hydrocodone. If you have a problem with Vicodan, or Lorcet, you more than likely will have a problem with this medication, as it is a semisyntheic opiod. This medication is expensive, but if used as directed by your healthcare professional, you will get the benefits for the money. It is a kinnetic medication, meaning that it is chemically structured to be "time released". Most other narcotic cough medications are prescribed for use every 4-6 hrs. PRN. Several patients experience nausea and/or vomiting from Hydrocodone, while some patients (me included) have no SIGNIFICANT side effects. If you are not used to taking Hydrocodone, or have NEVER taken Hydrocodone, you will more than likely be lethargic and feel the extreme euphoria. For those patients who are used to hydrocodone, or oxycodone (this medication DOES NOT contain Oxycodone) will not have as much a problem. | F | 27 | 7 days | 1/15/2008 | 5 | persistent cough, bronchitis | drowsiness, lasting a few hours. | Really amazing stuff. I usually get one bad cold/year with a bad cough that keeps me up all night for several nights in a row. when it gets to be too much and I can't take it anymore, I go to the doc, make sure everything is okay, and ask for this cough medicine. Since it is a narcotic, they are very careful about prescribing this, and rightfully so, of course. I probably on avareage have used this once/year for the past 5 years or so. I swear by the stuff. Everyone reacts differently to hydrocodone, though, so you should see how it works for you...it's wonderful for me, allows me to sleep soundly and wake up completely refreshed in the morning when I have a persistent cough. | F | 42 | 4 days | 1/4/2008 | 5 | Bronchitis | Intially side effects were not bothersome and quite nice I have to say. Extreme tiredness, dreamy floating sensation. Let me sleep for 8 hours at a pop. A week later I had extreme constipation that was an entirely new problem in itself. | I have had chronic bronchitis my whole life and can honestly say this is the only cough medicine that knocks me out enough at night so I can lay down and even try to go to sleep. I usually can not even lay down due to extreme congestion and wheezing. I will have to be careful because I can tell I like this cough medicine too much. I have already called for a refill. It works but be careful. | F | 46 | 12 days | 1/2/2008 | 1 | Bronchitis | Worst drug I have ever taken! I could not wait for the effects to wear off which took a VERY long time. I have had painkillers MANY times but there seems to be a bad combination in Tussionex. Paid $60 for the bottle and tossed it the next day! | M | 1 days | 12/31/2007 | 5 | Dry Hacking Cough | Sleepy-but thats what I needed! | It took darn near a miracle to get this prescibed to me, my doctors office is HORRIBLE-if you live in the Boston area-do not go to Harbor Medical Groups Primary Care practice in Danvers. I called to ask (after having no sleep in 5 nights) for this to be called in for me, they waited until they were closing to return my call, left a message saying to use a tea kettle and a tylenol. I've delivered 3 children-Naturally!! I am no complainer, and this was my first urgent care call to them in 10 years. Finally an ER NP prescibed Tussionex for me. The medication itself works, effectively and quickly-thank you Tussionex!! I finally got a full nights sleep! I think I was a bigger danger to myself and my children having had no sleep in nearly a week with that cough, I am not however intending to drive while medicated-it says clearly on the bottle not to! | F | 36 | 3 days | 12/13/2007 | 5 | bronchitis | Trouble urinating, itching. Euphoria, non-stop energy. | This is a FANTASTIC medication. The best cough syrup I have EVER used and I have tried everything. I get bronchitis several times a year and also have asthma so this is prescribed to me every couple months. Works almost immediatly, you can actually feel it start to work in as little as 10 minutes. I noticed some people say it makes then sleepy but it gives me almost unstopable energy and a feeling of euphoria. Makes you feel like you can do anything. I can clean my entire house on 1 teaspoon of this stuff! I have no trouble going to work on this medication or driving. If anything it just makes me more productive. It also masks any other sniffle or pain you may be having. You just feel great! However, yes you must be careful as this is extremly addictive because when taking it you feel so happy and nothing bothers you that you never want the feeling to go away. It's very easy to continue using this medication even if you don't need it. | F | 31 | 2 years | 12/6/2007 | 1 | had bronchitis | it is expensive and doesnt work! it just made me sleepy the day after taking it. i had bronchitis and the doctor said it was the only med that would help my serve cough. not true. | F | 26 | 7 days | 11/26/2007 | 5 | Bronchial Pneumonia | Wonderful feeling of breathing normally! | Every year about October thru March or April, I have had pneumonia. In the years past, the doc gave me Tussionex after the pneumonia had set in. This year, the sinus/rhinitis thing started so I went and picked up Tussionex. I have had this now since mid October and it has prevented me from becoming ill. I take a tablespoon 2x a day and experience sleepiness but over time that goes away. I manage to drive and work just fine. No Problems. | F | 42 | 45 days | 11/22/2007 | 5 | cough | I have experienced all of the above and more of what these people said. It s a great experience and I have found it to be the only cough syrup that has worked. | F | 47 | 5 days | 11/16/2007 | 5 | Chronic cough, postnasal drip | Drowsiness, headache | I have a very bad persistent cough, especially at night time. It is due to allergy and weather changes. I cannot even say a sentence without a cough, and forget about sleeping at all. I've tried every OTC + presc. med, finally Tussionex is the only one works for me. Just in one dose, my throat is less ichy, reduce the mucus, and my cough almost gone. But it makes me sleep for 12 hrs straight and still drowsy. However, it always works for my chronic cough. | F | 36 | 5 days | 11/14/2007 | 1 | cough, sinus congestion | I took one recommended dose of the medicine and within 15 minutes I was in and out of sleep for approximately 4 hours. When I awoke, needing to use the restroom, I got up and started making my way to the facilities and next thing I remember I was waking up on the floor. I then broke out in a profuse sweat. I discontinued the medication immediately. Be careful | M | 25 | 1 days | 10/31/2007 | 2 | extreme coughing | It made me sleep at night and felt drowsy during the day. It did not help much for the cough. | I wouldn't recommend taking this as it didn't help me very much. Way to expensive for not helping. | F | 62 | 5 days | 10/28/2007 | 5 | Night time Cough | Euphoria, Lethargy, Drowsiness, Itchy, slight difficulty urinating | Finally something that works...I've tried numerous over the counter cough syrup's with little help. I had my Doctor prescribe me Tussionex because I've heard from a few people that it works very well. Turns out they were right, this stuff is amazing it worked great on my cough and was able to give me a good night of sleep. However it did give me a stong sense of euphoria accompanied with drowsiness and sedation...which I'm not complaining about. That just made the whole experience that much better. The "only" complaint I can think of is that I did feel alittle itchy at times, but it really didn't bother me to much. | M | 28 | 5 days | 10/26/2007 | 1 | Bronchitis with deep cough | very drowsy, disoriented, slept for 24 hours, feel lethargic, out of body feeling,hallucinating. it stopped the cough and opened my chest up but I will not take it again. too dangerous. | I tried to drive to work yesterday morning after taking a small dose night before last. I was driving off the road and into the center lane bumps. I turned around and went home. I literally slept all day yesterday. This morning I still feel groggy, slow. I started to work this morning and got pulled over by a policeman for speeding and wreckless. This medicine should not be available. People cannot take it even in the smallest of doses and be able to function. I feel so lethargic, hallucinating, eyelids closing. | F | 45 | 1 days | 10/3/2007 | 5 | cough | Sometimes keeps me awake at night, dry mouth, constipation | I have taken it for many years. It is the only thing that works to stop my coughing and I have tried everything else. It makes me drowsy and relaxed, but keeps me awake. I take it only when my cough is bad enough. The awake at night feeling is more of an awake-dream state (hard to explain). I still get rest, just no sleep. The benefits of no coughing far outweigh the side-effects of no sleep. I'll choose Tussionex everytime I have a cough! It's worth a try for anyone who has problems with a cough (it's a miracle cough medicine). | F | 54 | 3 days | 9/19/2007 | 1 | Pneumonia | Hallucinations, high anxiety, panic attacks, racing heart, dread, and insomnia. | My doctor prescribed Tussionex and Biaxin for the pneumonia. I felt very sedated the first couple of days, and by the 3rd day I was having the effects described to the left of this box. I can't tell if those effects were the Biaxin, the Tussionex, or the combination. My doctor told me to stop taking Tussionex and I haven't had the same intense effects, but I have had similar feelings of insomnia and anxiety. Hard to tell but I will never ever take Tussionex again that's for sure. I'm surprised how many people here say it is so good. Maybe I'm an odd one. | M | 28 | 3 days | 8/22/2007 | 4 | Acute Bronchitis | Drowsiness, itchy, occasional insomnia | Very helpful cough syrup, definitely the most helpful hydrocodone cough syrup I have tried for my bronchitis, I tried Robitussin with codeine, Histussin HC, Codiclear DH, and Tussionex all in a 3 week period for my severe bronchitis and Tussionex proved the most effective. | M | 17 | 10 days | 7/24/2007 | 5 | cough, originally | positive outlook on life - feeling that you can accomplish anything. Waking up a lot - but then you feel the buzz and love it, it's best when it's the middle of the night - no sex drive at all while on this stuff (which can be a relief sometimes!) | Yes, it is addicting. Everytime my wife has a cough, I get excited because I know she'll be bringing home a fresh bottle. I always joke and ask her to ask for the "family size" bottle. Unfortunately for me, I haven't had a cough in years! But remembering how good it was, I sometimes steal a sip just to get that feeling for a night. Crazy, but like I said, dangerously addicting. | M | 41 | 2 days | 7/23/2007 | 5 | dry cough/itchy throat | NONE | Liquid Gold. The only cough medicine I have taken that actually works. I was able to sleep thru the night and feel very relaxed and happy. | F | 33 | 7 days | 7/19/2007 | 1 | Cough, | Couldn't breathe, had to go to an ER. Threw up quite a lot. Very weak and thought I was dying...seriously. Am scared to death to use it again, and as expensive as it was, that's upsetting. | F | 58 | 1 days | 6/18/2007 | 5 | Bronchitis,, hacking cough | Sleepiness | Helped me a great deal. I'd been prescribed a different cough medicine containing hydrocodone (5mg/tsp) but this worked so much better. I was able to sleep for the first time in days. | F | 37 | 5 days | 6/16/2007 |
