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 Cough "Cleared my cough and allowed me to rest. This liquid must be taken exactly as prescribed. I experienced a slight feeling of lethargy the next day. Given that as a side effect, I would take this again for any of my severe coughing spells."

Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cough "I have extremely bad coughing spells at night. So my doctor prescribed codeine cough syrup, which surprisingly did not help because it is a pretty strong cough medicine. So instead, he prescribed Tussionex for me. The medicine worked great! The only thing I don't like is it made me sleep all day long, and the next day I could still feel it in my system, but I know I could have probably slept for 2 days straight off of the small dose he prescribed. He told me to do 'Take 1 teaspoonful 2 times a day.' I only did one, and it made me feel very tired. But it does a great job with suppressing the cough."

Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cold Symptoms "CAREFUL! Warning that you can become drowsy the next day after using this product. Falling asleep at work, or while driving, because the narcotic is too much. If you're able to be passive with just a glass of wine, think seriously before taking the full teaspoon. Talk to your doctor if you feel unusually tired because of the Tussionex."

For Cough "This medicine really helped my cough, but it made me itchy, and I got hives on my elbows and knees. It also made me very tired the next day, but tiredness alone wouldn't stop me from taking it again. It did wonders for my cough."

For Cough "Worked wonders for my cough, slept well through the night. Made me lethargic the next day, but well worth it."
