| 5 | Coughing all night | None | This is the only cough medicine that helps me to get a good night's sleep when I am coughing all night. Not only does it stop all coughing, but it also seems to help me fall asleep and stay asleep. It works every time. Wish I could take it more often. My doctor will only prescribe it if I'm desperate. | F | 62 | 3 days | 4/16/2006 | 1 | cold/cough | Uncontrolled vomiting (including dry-heaving), horrendous headache, leg weakness. Lasted for 12 hours. Took 1/2 tsp of the 'mild' cough medicine. Full recovery took 24 hours. | I'd taken it before, years ago, with tylenol, and got nauseated, but never vomited. Never again. | F | 60 | 1 times | 10/14/2007 | 2 | Back pain | extreme neausea | It helped the paid but made me feel so sick I couldn't take it again | F | 56 | 1 days | 1/20/2010 | 5 | bad cough | some drowziness in the morning | while recovering from pneumonia with a bad cough, this medication instantly stopped my cough and gave me the relief I so desperately needed for sleep and rest | M | 54 | 4 days | 1/11/2006 | 5 | cough from bronchitis | none | It really provides cough suppression and has a pleasant taste, unlike another cough medicine I was given. | F | 52 | 3 days | 9/22/2006 | 5 | Cough | Extremely effective and very low nausea side effects! | You do feel interesting while taking and after taking for about a week I REALLY craved donuts after I stopped taking the drug. It's great and cheap! | M | 49 | 7 days | 5/26/2005 | 5 | Asthmatic cough after cold | A bit groggy and thirsty in the AM, but not a problem. | This cough suppressant is superior to Tussonex in that you actually get a good night's rest, with REM sleep. It works as advertised for cough suppression. Thanks, doctor. | M | 48 | 3 days 1X D | 8/31/2010 | 5 | Chronic cough | Some dizziness, enough to keep me off of ladders. Very managable. | The only thing that really stops my cough. Dextromethorphan won't touch it. Taking the codeine for about a week stops the cough until the next cold, usually months later. | M | 48 | 7 days | 1/25/2005 | 5 | strep pneumonia - wheezing cough | None whatsoever! | Amazing relief! Horrible cough that went into wheezing. Talking to anyone would stimulate coughing/wheezing attacks. Previously on just codeine elixir with minor relief. P & C saved me!!! As the days progressed, need for use decreased. | F | 45 | 7 days | 8/25/2004 | 5 | terrible cough | none | This is the ONLY medicine that stops my cough. Why can't it be bought OTC? | F | 42 | 4 days | 12/28/2005 | 5 | chronic cough/pneumonia | recently blurred vision - only in morning, minor constipation | This is the only remedy that has worked effectively and reliably for over 35 years. Have asthma and any chest cold becomes a racking cough - as a youth lasting over 4 weeks. As an adult it remains the only effective treatment for night time rest and quickest relief for cough. Generic made me gag, only the original has worked. Also effective are Teslan pearls for cough suppression - chem name benzonatate - phenomenal when combined with phenergan - nothing beats it! Have never had problems with it being additive either. | F | 41 | 14 days | 7/7/2006 | 5 | cough | none...a little sleepy | this is the only cough medicine that doesn't make me want to vomit from the taste...it is an old medication, but it tastes better than anything out there...it is hard to get, though as the insurance companies want you to have the generic which tastes awful...if you have to take a medicine, it should at least taste ok | F | 39 | 6 days | 10/10/2004 | 3 | Chronic Bronchitis | My head feels heavy, migrane headache and just feel uncomfortable. | I'm taking Phenergan w/Codeine to wean off from Tussionex Penniketic. I've been taking Tussionex every day since April of this year. So my body has gotten used to the medicine. I just would like to note; I wasn't taking it to feel any high.All it ever did for me was control the cough and put me to sleep. I was simply taken it for my Bronchitis. Now I just hope I could finally rid myself of this medication as well and go back to normality. | F | 39 | 1 days | 11/4/2008 | 2 | coughing | With 1 tsp, NOTHING happened. No effect on cough - didn't even feel drowsy. With 2 tsps, very slight effect on cough and slight dizziness and fatigue. | F | 31 | 2 days | 1/6/2009 | 1 | dysmenorrhea | I took this in the form of Tylenol #3 and as plain Codeine. Had nausea, sweats, violent itching, allergic reaction. All in all, a horrible experience. | It says it is an analgesic, but I guess it is meant to be cough medicine, as it has no effect on pain. I assume I am allergic, as it caused my hands to swell. Itching was unbelievable - absolute torture. PLEASE don't let your doctor Rx this for any kind of pain ! | F | 28 | 1 weeks | 10/24/2006 | 5 | bronchitis | None really, the first day I was a little sleepy but not enough to stop me from my daily activities or effect my thinking. | It worked wonders! I was previously on Carbofed which is generic for Rondec DM and that did nothing, that had dextro and an antihistamine in it and that made me extremely tired with no relief at all. I would recommend this to anyone. | F | 21 | 6 days | 12/11/2005 | 2 | post-op pain | extreme nausea! REALLY extreme! Did I mention EXTREME? | loopy sleep, couldn't wake up, felt trapped in sleep/dream.half-awake cycle--felt totally helpless and frightened | F | 16 | 4 days | 4/5/2002 | 1 | pain | nasuea everything bad | 30% of people cant metabolize codine into a narcotic. if your doctor prescribes it tell them to fuck off | M | 15 | 2 weeks | 4/15/2009 | 3 | | 9/19/2008 |
