| 4 | Bronchitis | Feeling of euphoria and extreme sense of well being. Although I felt pleasantly drowsy, I could NOT sleep. | When I initially took it when my cough from bronchitis was at its worst, it calmed it, but I still had quite a cough. Later, as the bronchitis started to become better, it did stop the brief coughing spells. I can understand the concern for it becoming habit forming. | F | 42 | 5 days | 2/4/2005 | 5 | cough | no | no | M | 23 | 5 days | 1/26/2005 | 5 | Chronic cough | I take this at night when my cough (asthma) acts up bad enough to keep me from sleeping. Tussionex stops the cough and relaxes me but for some reason keeps me awake. I know, it makes no sense, but that is what happens. So I only take it if I am in desperate need of something to stop my cough. | I could take this stuff every night, sleep or not. It gives me this wonderful euphoric feeling and I can see where it is extremely addictive. I try to take it only when I absolutely have to. | F | 53 | | 1/26/2005 | 5 | unproductive painful cough/cold | some drowsiness, wierd dreams | helped a lot with my symptoms but I could have done without the crazy dreams. | F | 36 | 5 days | 1/25/2005 | 4 | hacking uncontrollable cough | drowsy, | great medicine. have a chronic cough that keeps me up at night when I have attacks. This medicine allowed me to function. Much better than codeine/guafensin, | F | 27 | 2 days | 1/14/2005 | 5 | coughing at night | euphoria, increased sexual drive (??) | Best cough medicine I have ever taken. In fact, the only one I have ever taken that actually allows me to sleep at night when I have a cough to deal with. I have taken the medicine on a few cycles over the last two years. With two small children, colds are commonplace in my home. Only negative is that the stuff is almost too good because you will feel the effects. In other words, you will like the medicine! | M | 39 | | 12/29/2004 | 5 | Cough and Congestion | None | Make sure you shake well before using. The best cough medicine a M.D. can prescribe. Excellent taste. It is very expensive. 6 ounces cost me 95 dollars. Don't try walgreens they wanted 108 dollars. Try Walmart or K mart for best price. Would recomend if ever in canada go in and see a M.D. and ask him to write you a prescription. He will only charge 30 for office call and the prescription will only cost 38 dollars to get filled for 6 ounces. Be also advised it is still available in tablets in canada. Tablets were discontinued in U.S. back in 1987. Doesn't come in generic and never will because the manufacturer has patient on the manufacturing process for politrex medications. | | 12/28/2004 | 5 | very bad night cough/congestion | drowsiness, dry mouth, little appetite | It works! The best drug that works against my cough. I had given up on cough meds because codine didn't do the trick. The sleepiness is was OK because I had been up about a week with little sleep, due to the cough. It's expensive and no generics are available, but it works much better than hydrocodone/homatropine mixes for me. I think it is the extended time release -- I could feel it kicking in several times over the 12 hours. Before when I've taken hydrocondone/homoatropine, I felt paranoid/anxious -- but not with this stuff. | F | 47 | 2 weeks | 11/30/2004 | 5 | Cough and congestion. | Experienced moderate drowsiness when taking the recommended dose of 1 tsp every 12 hours. Drowsiness increased if more was taken. Constipation is a common side effect, because it contains hydrocodone, a mild narcotic....which also gives some desired side effects: euphoria, lethargy. Definitely helps with the aches and pains associated with a cold or flu. | Tussionex is a very effective cough suppressant and antihistamine for colds and allergies. Although there are other similar brands, this is one of the better ones I believe. | M | 27 | 14 days | 11/28/2004 | 5 | cough, bronchitis | drowsiness | It helps with nasal congestion and cough | F | 45 | 10 days | 11/24/2004 | 5 | bronchitis and coughing a lot | no side effects....but it sure helped me get through the night...very expensive because I have no insurance. | maybe there could be a generic for it or lower the price | F | 27 | 5 days | 10/26/2004 | 5 | Bronchitis | none | This didn't knock me out, but it relieved the cough so I could function. It did help me rest easier at night, but I could take it in the evening and still function. VERY EXPENSIVE... | F | 29 | 8 days | 10/20/2004 | 5 | night cough | Slight drowsiness. | A one teaspoon dose lasts the night and enbales me to get a good night's sleep. At $16/oz it is very expensive. Would be great if a generic substitute were available | M | 59 | 5 days | 10/14/2004 | 5 | cough | M | 37 | 5 days | 9/19/2004 | 5 | Cough | Constipation | Nector of the Gods.. Great Stuff! Kudos to whomever mixed up the first batch.. | F | 44 | 7 days | 9/19/2004 | 5 | To get high | It had the desired side effects....dizziness, euphoria, lathargic | I had way more than the recommended dosage though.....I believe around 1-2 oz is what i had mixed in a sprite to offset the time release | M | 21 | 6 months | 4/30/2004 | 5 | Exhausting cough | Some drowsiness at first, but this subsided after a few days. | Most effective cough medicine I have had, and no unpleasant taste like most. Effects last through the night and enable sleep and healing. Expensive though, and no generics available. | M | 48 | 2 weeks | 3/28/2003 | 5 | coughing | F | 34 | 5 days | 11/13/2002 |
