Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cough "This is my go-to cough medicine, it absolutely works the best for bronchitis cough or sinus infection. I have experienced headaches with this but found that if I drink a lot of water when I take it, that helps. We call it super syrup in our house."

Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cough "This medication will take a cough away, but I didn't like the side effects. I normally react great to pain meds, but not on this. Couldn't sleep the first night. Woke up with a severe headache. Had to take another dose for this cough and still bad headache. Can see this will turn to a migraine. Was so hopeful of this medication."

Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cough "This stuff is amazing when you are really sick. A severe cough was making my head and neck hurt so bad. After about 20 minutes of taking Tussionex, my cough was much improved, and my neck/headache almost non-existent. I was prescribed this after codeine wasn't helping at all. Will definitely take it again if needed."

For Cough "Had a cough so bad it was hurting my back and gave me terrible headaches. Was first prescribed another product, which did little. Have been taking this new prescription for a couple of days now (only need 1 tsp every 12 hrs)...amazing. Finally feeling like I'm getting better. Cough is much less, not nearly as tired as I was (was sleeping 16-20 hr days), been awake most of today. Thank you so much!"

Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cold Symptoms "Was given this medicine for upper respiratory tract infection. It helps the cough but makes you feel really out of it. With this prescription, I have had headaches. I'm on the 12-hour/1 tsp dosage. I would recommend this drug before you go to bed."

Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cough "This is hands down the best cough medicine I've ever taken. I had a cough so severe that I wet myself or threw up during uncontrollable coughing fits. Needless to say, I couldn't sleep at night for more than the few hours when I just passed out from total exhaustion. My first dose of Tussionex didn't totally get rid of the cough, but it did cut it by about 50%. The second dose helped more. My third dose was last night, and it made it possible for me to get a good night's sleep for the first time in two weeks. I did wake up once with a bad headache, but I can't tell if it's a side effect of the medicine or just part of being sick. Anyway, I'll trade a headache for vomiting from coughing fits any day."
