| 5 | severe cough from silent reflux | With doctor's permission, I only take this medicine on an as needed basis at bedtime. I take less than the 5 ml dosage. For me it is the only med that lets me sleep without the non-stop coughing. (Look up "silent reflux") | M | 84 | 2 years 5 ml 1X AN | 10/8/2018 | 3 | Bronchitis, Sinus Infection | Horrible migraines | Worked like a charm with the cough, however when I was coming down off the drug I would get horrible migraines. If you are sensitive to hydrocodone I would not recommend this for you. | F | 26 | 3 days 5ml | 8/14/2017 | 3 | Whooping Cough | Disorientation, extreme drowsiness, vomiting. | Despite the vomiting, this drug worked wonders for me. I went from coughing for ten hours straight with shortness of breath to actually getting a good night's sleep. Would use again. | F | 30 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 7/7/2016 | 5 | Upper respiratory & onset pneumonia | Sleepiness , euphoria, itchiness | I had a horrible infection in my lungs , the coughing fits would leave me lightheaded or throwing up. This is the only medication that helped. Would not recommend taking more then prescribed dosage. Can make side effects worse . Works good on short term basis. | F | 25 | 4 days 5ml | 5/19/2016 | 2 | Whooping Cough | Extreme confusion, nausea, headache, throbbing pain in stomach, dizziness. | This medicine was very dangerous to me, I had to wait 48 hrs for it to be completely leave my system but it wasnt for 72 hrs that the side effects went away. It felt like I was drunk and with an extreme hangover. | F | 40 | 2 days 30mgs | 3/29/2016 | 5 | Uncontrollable cough | No side effects-stopped my cough immediately | I have had an uncontrollable cough for over a month. Had every test done to determine the cause, but found nothing. I was driving anyone around me crazy with this cough. This is the only cough syrup that stopped it. First night of sleep in a long time | F | 62 | 6 days | 3/11/2016 | 2 | Bronchitis | Chest tightness, anxiety, hard to breathe, chills/shivering teeth chattering for several minutes, nausea. | I have take other hydro cough syrups before and had no issues. This one made me feel horrible, I took a dose, felt fine, better, then 4 hours later as directed took another does. A couple hours later I woke up in middle of night in panic feeling terrible. I wondered if it was just a panic attack which I have had a couple in my lifetime. But after reading what I have here and talking to my doc I think it was a reaction to the Hycodan. It worked great for cough but it was horrible was afraid I was having heart attack or something. | F | 47 | 2 days 10ml 1X AN | 12/16/2015 | 1 | Awful cough | Nausea, dysphoria, panic attack, inability to sleep, rapid heart rate, headache. | I have taken codeine cough syrup my entire life. However, I will never take another drop of this. I believe the homatropine (that is now added to discourage abuse) made me very, very ill. I took one teaspoon in the afternoon and vomited twice and had a terrible headache, felt very anxious. At bedtime I took less than half a teaspoon to be conservative. Could not sleep at all, mind very wired. Drifted off lightly, then woke at two a.m. with pounding heart. Had the worst emotional feelings in a long time. Extreme dread and detachment. In my opinion, they have ruined a really great medicine for me in order to prevent misuse and abuse. It's sad because it stops a cough dead in its tracks. | F | 38 | 1 days 1 teaspoon | 6/2/2015 | 5 | Bronchitis | Drowsiness, a little hallucinogenic but not bad more like I'm not sure if im sleeping or awake nothing crazy and all while in bed so no danger | It's the best cough syrup I've been ever given. Works quickly. | F | 40 | 5 days 5 mg 3X day | 1/5/2015 | 5 | Upper respiratory/sinus infection | Itchiness, drowsiness, euphoria | M | 23 | 5 days 2 tsp | 8/14/2014 | 5 | Cough | Works great, It stopped my cough quickly. | BE CAREFUL NOT TO TAKE TO MUCH AT ONCE. I took 20 ml and I had really hard time urinating for about a day. | M | 43 | 5 days 5 ml 1X day | 6/25/2014 | 3 | sore throat | shortness of breath, asthma, very itchy | M | 26 | 4 days 4 | 11/30/2013 | 4 | sinus infection, bronchitis | This syrup really helped my cough right away and let me get much needed rest. Although I had to cut my dosage in half due to nausea and dizzyness. Works like a charm, I recommend. | F | 39 | 6 days 4X/ 2tsp. | 11/27/2013 | 1 | sinus infection/itchy cough | Terribly nauseated and dizzy with extreme itching and pounding headache. | F | 35 | 1 days | 9/4/2013 | 3 | dry intense cough | severe headache and some nausea after first dose of one teaspoonful. If you are allergic or sensitive to drugs this may affect you adversely. I am highly sensitive to drugs and many chemicals. I will try a cough syrup otc. | F | 60 | 4 days 1X day | 3/1/2013 | 5 | flu | i hadnt had a good nights rest in 2 nights and literally 15 minutes after taking this medication i was sleeping like a baby. it does wonders when you are miserable. me and my bottle were best friends for 6 days. and theres still half a bottle left! | F | 23 | 6 days 1 to 2 teaspoons eve | 2/20/2013 | 5 | Acute bronchitis and laryngitis | Instantly helped with the severe coughing at bedtime so I could rest, but I do have itching all over my body from head to toe. The itching is tolerable considering it suppresses my coughing attacks. Love this stuff. | F | 36 | 3 days 2 tsp q4h | 1/19/2013 | 5 | Cough | None. | Amazing drug. My cough stopped in about 5 minutes. No side effects. Like magic. | M | 48 | 5 days 3X day | 1/11/2012 | 1 | Cough | Immediate nausea, loss of orientation, paleness, sinking feeling, had to make an effort not to fall asleep, i felt as if I was going to die | Would not recommend to my enemy. Stay away from it. | F | 45 | 1 days 5 mg 1X day | 4/2/2011 | 5 | chest cold / virus | I was given hycodan many years ago and have loved it ever since for my coughs due to colds / influenza. I cannot take OTC meds as they have decongestants in them which make me very agitated and anxious and the effect lasts for days. I can handle the dopey effects of hycodan. My big complaint - ITCHING! I don't itch with reg codein. So although I am not coughing I am up all night scratching! Take benadril to counter this effect - but only at night as you will get very drowsy. | If you are in Canada you can get 'Tylenol #1' (aceteminaphin with 8mg codein) OTC (ask the pharmacist) and this also works GREAT for coughs. Codien is a resperatory suppressant - that is why it calms your cough. | F | 43 | 2 days 5mg/5ml 2X day | 10/2/2010 |
