Comment:
I decided to see a doctor after about a week of coughing at night. It kept me up and looking back, I realized that I was afraid to go to sleep just because I knew I'd wake up coughing.

Remember to take with a big glass of water, and to eat something (even a few soda crackers) afterward, like all hydrocodones, it CAN make one feel a little nauseous on a total empty stomach.
