For Cough "This is by far and wide the best treatment for coughing. The worse your cough is, the fewer 'high' feelings you will have. I don't mind the hazy feeling all opioids tend to give off, so this is an added benefit for me. The meds help relax your entire body. It can be difficult to sleep on it."

For Cough "Tussionex is awesome for that cough you get at night, where you get a tickle in your throat and just have to cough and can't stop. For me, it makes me feel loopy, though, even 12 hours later I will be lightheaded, so I usually don't use it unless Cepacol or something doesn't work. It's rare I use it more than once a year, and even then I only use half the dose. It really works, but it's powerful."

For Cough "I went to the doctor a week ago, and I was told that I had an upper respiratory infection (3rd one this year), so she gave me the usual antibiotic, Phenergan with codeine cough medicine, and an antihistamine/decongestion medicine. After a week of taking this, still not feeling better. So I went back, and she gave me a different antibiotic and the Tussionex cough medicine. The cough medicine has allowed me to sleep most of the night, but when I take it, I am completely knocked out and loopy. Still cough periodically, but nothing like I was without it. Even with insurance, this medicine was $50 for 4 ounces, but it's worth it! I've taken it before, and it really helps. Just waiting for the other medicines to do their jobs!"

For Cough "I have had a bad cough for over a week. The doctor said it was bronchitis and prescribed this and Septra. It does dry you up and quiets the cough. I've taken this before but don't remember it making me feel so loopy, even 12 hours later. Definitely don't drive, and it would be advisable to have someone around."
