I found this medication to be in a completely different class to other other the counter medicines. It knocked the cough out, and for the whole night. I slept like a baby without difficulty in waking up. Follow directions exactly even though teaspoon seems like a tiny amount, it is strong medication. You will not be disappointed with it.

This works great for coughs. I had bronchitis pretty bad and it worked almost immediately. I didn't really look at what the doctor was giving me so I didn't realize right away that it was going to be so strong. I don't take it every four hours as directed. I take it once or twice a day and that is enough. At first I made the mistake of taking it right out of the bottle; big mistake. Don't take more than directed, in my case I was told to take one teaspoon. That is more than enough.

Hycodan worked great for the cough, but I ended up with a rebound headache the next morning. It also made me itchy and have strange dreams. Even with all these side effects, it was worth it to have a good nights sleep.

This medicine is very effective for a nagging cough that won't quit, but be very careful with dosage. I once took 2 teaspoon instead of my regular 1 tsp dose and felt absolutely AWFUL - shaking, agitated, hot flashes, nervous, nauseous.

I have had a hacking cough for about a month that was severely hindering my ability to sleep. I've only used this medicine for one night and last night was the best night's sleep in over a month. Even my boyfriend said I didn't cough in my sleep or toss and turn. This medicine is the third medicine I have tried in this past month. I couldn't ask for a better product.

FOR YEARS I HAVE A CHRONIC COUGH AS WELL AS SOME FORM OF ARTHRITIS, WHICH DENIED ME A GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP. LATELY I HAVE BEEN TAKING A TEASPOON OF HYCODAN SYRUP ALONG WITH 2 ADVIL TABLETS, BEFORE GOING TO BED, AND GOT A RESTFUL NIGHT OF SLEEP AND WOKE UP WITHOUT PAIN.

I tried about 4 OTC cough medicines to no avail. I have tried Hycodan in the past and this is what I recommend if you want a good medicine for a bad cough.

Twice I've had dry coughs that weren't helped by OTC syrups. In each case it felt as though I had a bit of dust adhering to wall of my throat. I went for several days without decent sleep because of all the coughing each night. I was miserable. In both cases hydrocodone (once in pill form and once Hycodan syrup) cured the cough and I was able to get a decent nights sleep. If you ever have bronchitis that keeps you up all night coughing, don't waste time being miserable. Go to a doctor.

This medicine was used for a racking cough. It gave relief and allowed sleep. It is an important tool in the physicians medicine chest. Take only the exact prescribed dose. it is very strong. Go to bed.
