| 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 |
