| 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 | 4 | Bronchitis | Euphoric Feeling, Energetic, after 3 days depression | I am writing an honest review about this medicine. It definitely did the trick in helping with my cough. However, I noticed that my being able to function started to depend on me taking this medicine. I would take more than the recommended dosage (no itching or rash). I felt WONDERFUL!!! I even lied to my doctor and told them that I lost my bottle so that I could get another perscription. I have now been off of the medicine for 1 week and am JUST starting to get back to normal. I was severely depressed for 5 days ... crying non-stop, feeling hopeless and gloomy. Please be careful when taking this medication. | F | 28 | 2 weeks | 5/15/2007 | 4 | nighttime cough | totally zoned out, but enjoyed it nonetheless | initially i tried to not take my prescription at all due to a general wariness of pharmaceuticals, but after 3 days of hacking and no sleep at all from the cough, i broke down in a fit of irritibility and took way too much, maybe a 6x dose or so. BE CAREFUL! i ended up missing 3 days of school, the first 1 1/2 of those in and out of sleep and totally but pleasantly dissociated. i had to deal with the repercussions of that of course and it was difficult, but the medicine itself stopped the cough, caught me up on sleep, and only produced pleasant sensations. my fiancee was there to drive and get food, etc. where i definitely could not. if you are alone, watch your dose carefully! the only side effect i noticed was a weak gut motility manifesting as minor constipation for about 36 hours or so. in retrospect i'm glad to have hit it once hard rather than low doses over a period of time... it's addictive (narcotic) and i may not do so well with that. | M | 38 | 3 times | 5/12/2007 | 1 | cough | I had horirble side effects, since it has hydrocodone whcih I think I may be allergic to . I felt like I was going to die, Very dizzy , wekaness, my face turned extremely pale, my heart rate my racing, vomiting, Very weak, unable to move, short of breath , trembling it didi not work for me,I called my dr who told me to stop taking asap, other wise I would have a cardiac arrest. | do not take if alergic to vidoin, (hydrocodone) | M | 31 | 1 days | 4/25/2007 | 5 | severe cough | euphoria, relaxation, overall heaviness in my limbs | I felt happier than I had in weeks and I didn't have that cough. I also got really sleepy and I would sit in one position for an hour or so because I felt so heavy. When I went to sleep I slept for about 13 hours. Don't drive with this stuff. | F | 16 | 1 weeks | 4/22/2007 | 5 | Very Severe Cough | I took my first dosage tonight and for the first time in three weeks I have felt better. My cough is completely under control - I am hardly coughing at all and when I do, they are laughably mild. I no longer experience intense pain throughout my chest and throat with every cough. I was skeptical, but boy does this stuff work. Now, granted, I am writing this at 2:30 because I only got five hours contonuous sleep because the drugs *does* cause mild insomnia, but hey.. so was my cough, and to a *much* greater degree. Highly recommended, but use responsibly. | F | 30 | 1 days | 4/21/2007 | 4 | Throat Ulcer | Extreme drowsiness, nausea (when I didn't eat), weird and discomforting dreams, euphoria, slower breathing, passiveness. The first time I took it, it affected my vision and I thought I was going blind. After getting used to it, the symptoms slightly decreased. | Overall, it treated what it was supposed to treat. But definitely makes you sleepy and I didn't like my dreams. And I wouldn't recommend driving long distances. But I loved the fact that I was able to sleep and I liked feeling more relaxed since I'm an anxious person. But you should definitely drink a lot of water when you take tussionex. | F | 23 | 10 days | 4/20/2007 | 3 | cough | itchy, nausea, vomiting, induced a migrain | not for me, my cough is a bit better but all the side effects aren't worth it for me. i'd rather have a cough then feel like i'm going to vomit everytime i move. | F | 24 | 1 days | 4/11/2007 |
