OTC cough medications don't do much for me. This stuff does - controls cough almost immediately for almost 6 hours. Usually I'm well in about 3-4 days. Can make you a bit drowsy, or maybe that's the cold?

I was prescribed this medication for a cough related to pneumonia. I took it at 6PM because my doctor told me that it would "knock me out" and that it would last for 12 hours. It is 4:30AM and I haven't slept at all.

I have been using this kind of the cough medication to treat the night time coughing. The OCT medication never work for me at all. Every time when I ended up with URI, I tend to cough worse at night. Only this kind of the prescription cough medication work for me. The problem is that I am too sensitive to it. It works within 5 minutes but it made me very drowsy for the next day most of the time. It also made me constipated. If I still have the cough for the night, I wouldn't take it unless it is bad enough to wake me up from my sleep. I really can't stand the drowsiness at all.Read More Read Less

I came down with the flu and had a nasty cough and couldn't sleep. Went to a walk-in clinic because my doctor was on vacation and couldn't fit me in until the next day. I was prescribed Hydrocodone-Homatropine cough syrup. I took it and it made my coughing stop after an hour later. They only thing I didn't like about this product it made my pulse race and gave me a super headache. I have mild high blood pressure so wasn't sure if I should take ibuprofen for headache or how it would interact with it. I started listening to classical spa music and it seemed to calm down my heart racing..Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this drug for a severe cough I had with my sinus infection. My lungs were sore from coughing so hard and I hadn't slept in 3 days. One dose stopped my cough and allowed me to sleep a full 6 hours before I started coughing again. The only drawback: I woke up in the morning with a bad headache, feeling like I was hung over. I took some Advil for my headache and was fine.

This cough syrup works well to calm down my cough, but it gives me a little buzz that's pleasant during the day but keeps me up for hours at night. Unfortunately, night time is when my cough is worst and I need the medicine. So, I end up not benefitting too much from this drug - it makes it so my cough doesn't keep me up, but the main side effect is it keeps me up without the cough.

Initially took for cough, but noted a helpful side effect - it reduced the frequency of nighttime urinations from 4-5 to 1-2. Now take one tsp only at bedtime.

No over the counter cough medicines work for me. This is the only one that will take away my cough and let me sleep. I only take it at night. It does make me feel alittle buzzed but I think thats what helps you sleep. Only cough medicine I will use!

I was prescribed this medication on a Tuesday, by Sunday I started complaining of a UTI, wasn't even sure if I had one, but I know my body. This was also even after I'd stopped taking it two days prior. I am tossing this medication.

Yes, this drug helped stop my post nasal drip, after suffering for 11 days. NO I will NEVER take this drug again! I Have never suffered a more horrible bout of Nausea and Dizziness in my entire life! It lasted well over 12 hours and I am still feeling not right 32 hours later. If you have a stomach that upsets easily, DON'T take this drug! You will regret it!
