| 5 | Bronchitis | itchy skin 2nd day of taking meds | Absolute best cough medicine EVER! I had been sick for over a month. I work in the ER of a hospital so I wasn't able to kick the cold/bronchitis with OTC meds and finally broke down and went to the doctor. He prescribed the Tussionex along with Tessalon Pearls. I started meds at 10:00 one morning and when I woke up at 2100 that evening, I felt 100x better than I had when I fell asleep. That night at work, I coughed maybe 3 times total. Literally liquid gold! Pricey but worth the money. | F | 25 | 2 days | 3/17/2006 | 5 | bronchitis, severe coughing | itchy skin...no rash, just itchy | I hadn't slept for 5 straight nights and had been taking Mucinex DM and then benzonatate gelcaps prescribed by doc...with no relief. I coughed so hard I pulled a muscle in my side. I was miserable. Then my doc called this RX Tussionex in for me and it was a MIRACLE I slept for 6 straight hours for the first time in 6 days. I feel 100% better this morning. This syrup is VERY expensive though. Wish there was a generic version. This is the best cough syrup I have ever taken. | F | 42 | 1 days | 3/15/2006 | 4 | yes | I only had the drowsiness! | I have been on it once & was just put on it today & it has helped me. Becuse i get take it when i get the croup because i have asthma so it makes it really hard for me because i really can`t breath then. | F | 16 | 1 weeks | 2/9/2006 | 5 | Upper Respiratory Infection | Wow! This medicine sent me to la la land! Within an hour I was feeling lightheaded and GOOD! Felt as if I was floating. I fell asleep shortly and had the BEST sleep I've had in a long time. I took it for 3 days and slept an average of 14 hours a night. DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP FOR WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING!! Please take heed to the warning about being careful while driving... I had a mild hallucination (not scary, but weird) while driving. | WHOA! This was a WONDER DRUG! After 5 days of coughing and hacking and 4 sleepless nights, I was finally prescribed this medicine. It INSTANTLY worked! I recommend this to everyone with a severe cough. Be careful though, it seems like this would be addictive if taken for a long period of time. | F | 27 | 3 days | 1/18/2006 | 5 | Sinusitis,laryngitis,bronchitis | The most wonderful sleep I have ever had when taking Tussionex. Personally I had the lethargy, and feeling like I was walking about 3 inches off the floor, but I didnt care...my sore muscles in my neck were no longer hurting, my cough was almost all gone and my head was clear. | My doctor is very guarded about perscribing this med, because of the addiction factor. I am sick usually once or twice a year, and he perscribes a bottle, along with antibiotics because this method of medication WORKS for me! If you wish to contact me, remove the 1 in my email address. Thanks! | F | 40 | 1 days | 12/20/2005 | 5 | bronchitis, night cough | sweating, lightheaded, somewhat dizzy/euphoric, extremely dry mouth, itching without rash | I took this medicine for the first couple of nights as directed and it was a miracle. Last night, I wish I had read your comments before the second dose in 1 hour! My cough was worse last night and the first dose just didn't seem to work, so I took a second dose..... I quit coughing allright. I was awake the rest of the night, but almost in a 'awake sleep'. I couldn't function because I was so tired. Acutally, I almost had some OCD tendancies. It was really wierd. Got on line at 3 am and read the comments here. Wish I had read them before that second dose. Glad I lived through it! It's 12:30 pm the next day, and I still feel the effects......... It really does the job, but don't take too much! | F | 39 | 3 days | 11/9/2005 | 5 | Dry, hacking cough; esp. at night. | Mild difficulty urinating. | I've taken this cough syrup on and off for many years. Unlike off-the-shelf "cough remedies", this is the real deal. Kicks the cough so you can sleep. It does make you spacey, so beware taking it before doing anything requiring focus. I disagree with the idea that some folks have that it is "dangerously addictive". Take it to kick your cough, not to cop a buzz and you'll be okay. I take it in conjuction with a Z-pack or similar and lose my cough in 5-10 days. | M | 42 | 5 days | 11/8/2005 | 5 | Paroxymal cough, plueritis, asthma. | None. | IMMEDIATE and long-acting RELIEF of the chest pain and coughing! Was finally able to sleep all night instead of coughing all night. First time I have used this drug. I used it every 12 hrs. as directed. | F | 60 | 1 days | 9/28/2005 | 5 | flu like symptoms achy chest | a little constipation but other than that not much | YES THIS MEDICINE IS LIQUID GOLD! VERY PLEASANT. TOOK AWAY MY PAIN IN 2 OR 3 HOURS. VERY THERAPEUTIC. GOT MY PRESCRIPTION FOR $12.00 DOLLARS BECAUSE OF MY INSURANCE. I FEEL THIS MEDICINE HAS GREAT HEALING POWERS. I FELT LIKE I WAS GETTING THE FLU. STARTED WITH A SORE NECK THEN WENT INTO MY CHEST AND BACK. THE NURSE WAS RELUCTANT TO GIVE IT TO ME BUT HAVING USED IT IN THE PAST I TOLD HER IT WORKS WELL FOR ME! BY ALL MEANS INSIST THAT YOUR DOCTOR PRESCRIBE THIS MEDICINE IF YOU ARE HAVING COLD OR FLU SYMPTOMS THANKS TUSSIONEX. I HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS MEDICINE FOR 3 DAYS AND WILL PROBABLY QUIT IN THE NEXT DAY OR 2 IF MY SYMPTOMS DISAPPEAR | M | 48 | 3 days | 8/23/2005 | 4 | Cough | Drowsiness, negative sexual side effects | Worked wonders on my cough. | M | 36 | 5 days | 6/8/2005 | 3 | Cough | A feeling of emptiness in my wallet, followed by suspicion of Doctor drug representative office luncheon kickback and a realization that I had been taken. | It works no better than codeine or phenergan combined with OTC chlorpheniramine maleate, but costs 1000% more. This is the second time in the past five years that a Doctor has prescribed for me an effective cheap drug in some lame repackaged form with a new outrageously expensive price. Tell your Doctor to never do it again. I was insulted. I should of demanded the Doctor reimburse me. The drug company adds new meaning to the term highway robbery. | M | 49 | 7 days | 5/26/2005 | 4 | cough | itching;drowsy but not easily falling asleep; | makes you feel very good;easy to get hooked on,but works for cough very well!!used as needed | M | 36 | | 5/20/2005 | 5 | accute sinus infection/ severe cold | very comfortable feeling. got a little constipated and vision was a little distorted. | very good medicine for colds and flu. would not recommend it to anyone with an addictive personality | F | 31 | 5 days | 5/9/2005 | 2 | Sinus Cold and Cough at night | Did not help the cough and kept me up until 4 a.m. both times I took it. Will not take it again at night. Felt like I had 4 cups of coffee before bed. | Codeine works much better for me. | F | 56 | 2 days | 5/1/2005 | 4 | hacking cough | VERY disturbing dreams, extreme lethargy | works wonders to subdue cough, although dreams so disturbing and seemingly real...difficult to wake from depths of said dream when you're so lethargic. do not suggest taking if frail, have tendency to sleepwalk or even if you live alone. | F | 37 | 2 days | 3/30/2005 | 5 | alergy induced asthma | NONE NEGITIVE.FUNCTIONABILITY! | TUSSIONEX IS THE ONLY MED THAT WORKS. TRADITIONAL TREATMENTS NOT EFECTIVE AS ALERGENS OCCUR CONTINUIOSLY AFTER USAGE. TUSSIONEX EVEN STOPS THE WEEZING AND PREVENTS FURTHER REACTIONS TO ALERGENS. ONLY MED I CAN CARRY ON A DAILY RUTINE WITH. SHOULD NOT BE SO DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN IN THESE CERCUMSTANCES! FRUSTRATING!!!!!! | F | 55 | | 3/25/2005 | 5 | flu,cold,dry hacking cough,sore thr | None | Feeling of well being,increased energy,like drinking expresso coffee | M | 44 | 3 days | 3/24/2005 | 5 | Severe Cough/Throat Pain | Itching was the most annoying side effect. There was also some slight dizziness. | There is no comparison to what you can buy in the drug store. Tussionex actually works. The cough and pain was gone so I could sleep at night. It actually made me feel quite nice other than the mild side effects I listed. I highly recommend it for severe colds or flu if nothing else has worked. | M | 25 | 2 weeks | 2/19/2005 | 5 | Cough/Congestion | Dry mouth, Enjoyable drowsiness. | Known on the street as liquid gold. I think that says it all. The stuff works. It's a shame that it is so expensive considering my doctor said there is not one expensive substance in the stuff. I could see how it could become very addictive. When my cough was gone I wanted to finish my remaining Tussionex just because it made me feel great. It is comparable to Oxycontin and seems to have the same mild side effects. | M | 32 | 5 days | 2/19/2005 | 5 | bronchitis, sinus infection | Definitely the best cough medicine on the market. I‘ve had problems with severe cough from bronchitis and headaches from sinus infections all my life. This medicine makes me feel a great deal better when normally I would be in extreme discomfort. It works much better than Nighttime cough medicines over the counter. Although I’ve read that it’s side effects will make you drowsy, I’ve experienced the opposite. I feel very “wired” when I take it and have difficulty sleeping. I only take it during the day so by bedtime I can sleep. | This medicine can be very habit forming. Use only as directed. Extreme euphoric feelings may me experienced, exercise caution. | M | 29 | 12 days | 2/11/2005 |
