For Cold Symptoms "Awesome medication for severe allergies. I have been taking this medicine now for 2 years. My environmental allergies were just getting worse and worse. I have been to many allergists who kept giving me nose sprays and shots once a week. After one year of continual shots and not getting better, my doctor prescribed Tussionex. Just imagine feeling like you have a bad cold all year round, coughing, sneezing, and feeling miserable. Tussionex made me feel normal. I had forgotten what it was like not to cough, have a runny nose, and feel like I had the flu. With the Tussionex, I felt so good since it stopped the cough, the runny nose, and all the aches and pains in my neck and sinuses. THANK YOU for Tussionex!"

For Cough "Just got some of this at immediate care. Thank you, thank you!!!! I have bronchitis and have been coughing for 3 weeks. It is ridiculous that Drs don't want to give it because a minority of people will abuse it, and that has tied their hands. Give me a break!!!! I took this, and 5 minutes later, coughed up some terrible-looking infected mucus. I'm not coughing, relaxed, and finally will be able to sleep. Good luck getting it, though, especially from your regular Dr. They will try everything else before giving you something that works. Not to mention appt after appt..... Mo money, Mo money. Go straight to immediate care, pay the extra, or hope your deductible is paid. Also, for everyone saying it doesn't work, make sure you are shaking it up well."

For Cough "Just started taking this medicine. Had the flu, and at the end of the 5-day flu, started a head cold. Couldn't sleep for a few nights due to cough. Only woke up 3 times tonight (once to pee and twice due to coughing). Just took my second dose and will go back to sleep. Was prescribed codeine, with no help at all. Was told this is called liquid gold - they weren't kidding. Very grateful my pharmacist mentioned this to me, then I told my doctor."
