| 2 | Cough | Numbness, Lightheadness, Tiredness, Very, very surreal dreams. Very vivid. Almost lucid. | After two nights of very odd dreams I quit taking the medicine | M | 2 days | 4/2/2007 | 5 | very tight cough, sinus infection | none | This is a wonder drug. Not only did it allow me to sleep through the night but loosened up my chest so it was not as painful when I did cough. Would definitely use it again! | F | 51 | 5 days | 3/17/2007 | 5 | Body Aches | Euphoria, itchiness, lucid dreams. | Tussionex is awesome. Not only does it work best on cough/aches, it also makes you feel incredible. I was really sick yesterday, so I took some and felt like I was on top of the world. I have to reccommend this drug to anyone seeking to feel better. | M | 20 | 3 days | 2/24/2007 | 5 | persistent dry cough | lethargy, ears ringing | great med - it stopped the coughing - I was able to sleep at night - just kind of woozy during the day - certainly would not drive while taking this med - I only took 1 tsp. 2x a day - and it worked! Pricy even with insurance! | F | 60 | 5 days | 2/20/2007 | 4 | cough | none, unfortunately--was hoping for some euphoria i get with hydrocodone tabs | F | 40 | 3 days | 2/20/2007 | 4 | persistent dry cough | lethargy, ears ringing | great med - it stopped the coughing - I was able to sleep at night - just kind of woozy during the day - certainly would not drive while taking this med - I only took 1 tsp. 2x a day - and it worked! | F | 60 | 3 days | 2/20/2007 | 5 | Upper Respiratory Infection | Slight high feeling other than that nothing. | This is the best medicine for severe coughing I have ever used. It is rather expensive though even with my insurance. | F | 31 | 1 weeks | 2/19/2007 | 5 | cough & sinus infection | constipation, relaxation, headache | Works wonders for a cough. Also has a pleasant banana (?) taste. Very expensive though. I pay $40 with my copay because it is not available in a generic. If you are using it as directed and for what it is prescribed for and not just to get high, you will not get addicted and you will not notice a lot of the side effects. For those who don't understand why MDs are reluctant to prescribe it: some people abuse this drug by lacing marijuana with it or by taking more than the recommended dose. There are always those greedy people out there that ruin things for people who really need and benefit from something. | F | 31 | 2 weeks | 2/12/2007 | 5 | Originally for dry cough | drowsiness,slight itch.. | This stuff is definately a wonder drug at least for me anyway.A year or so ago my Dr. prescribed this for a cold and cough and we discovered by accident that it also cured many other problems and medical ailments I've had. After having 6 abdominal surgeries over the years to remove adhesions that caused severe intestinal obstruction I have always had severe diarrhea and intense cramping from IBS as well as abdominal pain. After trying many different medications over the years from Demerol-Morphine-Paregoric-Dilaudid,Bentyl,Imodium etc, we discovered that by taking 2-3 tsp daily all of my intestinal problems and severe pain is gone with no constipation whatsoever and no longer have to take zyrtec,ativan or antidepressant or pain pills.I haven't had a cold in 2 years and sleep like a baby everynight.I no longer have anxiety or depression and now have normal bowel movements. Dr.said for reasons unknown it has proven to be a miracle drug for me and in my case the benefits outweigh the ris | M | 45 | 16 months | 11/19/2006 | 5 | Walking pneumonia cough | Itchiness and somnolence. | I have to say that anyone who may experience the above effects should try what I do. I am no Dr., but it makes sense. I take two Benedryl with mine - it decreases the itchiness AND it helps with my runny nose! It will absolutely knock you out though! Be prepared to be in bed for several hours! | F | 38 | 3 days | 11/4/2006 | 5 | Cough | relaxed, lethargic, happy : ) for the first year I used it. Maybe 2x week.. asthma/cough/sinus. I only take 1/2 the dose (1/2 tsp). Last night, I took the usual dose and had the most intense itching (without rash) it was unbearable! Finally took 25mg Benadryl, and then went to sleep. The itching was a new thing, had never had it before. | Am I becoming allergic?? Intense itching, no rash. | F | 51 | 2 years | 10/16/2006 | 5 | severe allergy symptoms | very relaxed feeling | the first remedy i found in over 30 years that relieved my sneezing , watery itch eyes and helped me rest at night.. | M | 48 | 8 months | 10/6/2006 | 4 | pneumonia | Itching. Lots of itching. No rash or hives---just itching! | All in all it works great, besides the itching. I slept great---too great. Someone else said not to take it if you have to be at work early the next morning---and I second that! It certainly helped me with my painful coughing and other aches. | F | 32 | 3 days | 9/20/2006 | 2 | bronchitis | I became addicted to thid medicine. BE CAREFUL!!! Now attending 12 step meetings. I was very much in trouble,I am not blamming the mediicine, but I never had an issue with addiction until I started taking this. | Taking more than prescribed will make you itch, and could have horrible affests, such as life threatening, and as states addicting for me. | F | 45 | 100 times | 9/19/2006 | 4 | chronic cough | Kind of zoned out feeling. | Great medication for Coughs. Hard to get it prescribed, and it costs a fortune, but worth it!!!! Lasts for probably 7 hours, highly recommended! | M | 40 | 1 days | 8/25/2006 | 5 | cough | it got me so euphoric that it kept me up all night | yes it did work wonderfully..it took away my cough and then some.(it even took my depression away !) I did't have insurance so I paid like 105$ for 200ml. at wal mart...and the dreams I had while on this stuff...WOW ! I definitely wouldn't drive under the influence of tussionex..but all that said..I took it for a cough and it really took it away . | M | 41 | 45 days | 7/14/2006 | 5 | cough associated w/sinus infection | have been on med twice in past month - 1st time, no side effects, 2nd time, itchiness. almost got through with no side effects, but tonight was my last dose and i'm so itchy! it's 4:52 AM as I write this, and I've had virtually no sleep - can't tell if it's the itching or the medicine straight up that's causing that. | Have taken this twice in the past month for cough associated with sinus infection, about a week each time. First time, no side effects, wonderful stuff. God rid of cough superbly. Second time, this is day 4 (and thankfully last day), and only tonight's dose has had side effects - I'm so incredibly itchy! I really thought somehow that I'd accidentally found a patch of poison ivy, even though there's no rash. It's 4:52 AM as I write this, and I've had virtually no sleep - can't tell if it's the itching or the medicine straight up that's causing that. I condsider, however, that the benefits far outweigh the side effects, even if they are annoying. | F | 28 | 11 days | 7/4/2006 | 5 | Sinus Allergy Symptoms | Minor constipation - only when I have to take it every day for 2 or 3 days. If you take more than you should, it might keep you awake. Usually 1 dose will last me 2 or 3 days. | I have non-allergic rhinitis so I have sever allergic reactions to everything, smoke, perfumes, dust, pollens, mold, etc. Over the years I have tried absolutely every concotion available OTC & Rx and nothing would work or would work for only a short time. I can't take decongestants. Then my doctor prescribed Tussionex, primarily because I couldn't sleep due to coughing from post-nasal drip. It was like a miracle! That was 6 years ago and it still works for me. During the bad times of the year, Spring & Fall, I take it about every other night. In the Summer, a couple times a week, and sometimes in the Winter I can go 2 or 3 months without it. I do take it once a day when I have a bad cold, the flu or a sinus infection but only for 2 or 3 days. The really great thing is that I can actually funtion normally for the first time in my life - I don't have to carry around a tissue box all the time, I don't sneeze & snuffle & cough continuously. It's Wonderful! My doctor is con | F | 49 | 6 years | 6/20/2006 | 5 | cough | No side effects | l/2 teaspoon washed down with fresh orange juice - it's a miracle - I can at last sleep without coughing | F | 85 | 7 months | 6/19/2006 | 2 | Bronchitis | It's 2:30 a.m. and I'm still awake and as soon as I lie down, I'm coughing more than before the meds. At least with codeine cough syrup, I could get a few hours sleep. | F | 56 | 1 days | 5/10/2006 |
