For a couple sleepless nights,I had severe couphing "episodes"(as I called them)... to the point of choking / gagging. My regular doctor was not available so I went to an urgent care type of provider for help. After initial exam, and x rays, was told I had a bit of bronchitis and what my options were for medical treatment.#1 Mucinex or #2 Codein. I was told if it(coughing) was keeping me up at night they could give me an RX for Tussinex. After brief discussion i decided on the Tussinex because it would help me sleep at night as a result of taking Tussinex- following the dosage instructions. The result was quick as i progressed from being barely able to talk and having"a coughing fit before going to bed, to waking up very sleepy but with a LOOSENED cough.But the main thing is it makes me sleepy so I take it about thirty minutes or so before going to bed at night. So you wouldn't want to take it during the day unless you really need to! But we all respond to medicine differently. I never heard of it before a doctor told me about it... and it is by far no doubt the best medicine out their for coughing; due to the pleasant taste and FAST recovery time. I mean... (the knocking out of the severity of the reflex to cough)..overnight!So Occasionally the cough is still their but not nearly as severe as when I first started on it about a month ago..

Nothing has ever stopped my coughing like this does. Have had bronchitas for over 40 years...........usually getting it once a year.....this is the ONLY thing that has ever helped.

This is the ONLY thing that works for a cough (Cherratussin MIGHT if it didn't taste so bad it makes you throw it up). I treat Tussionex like GOLD when Rxed. ONLY problem I have is that it's very thick, but dosed in tiny amts (0.5 tsp-1tsp), AND THEY MEAN IT (one ml too much, you're dizzy), but it's tempting to be safer (no cough) than sorry (cough, not sure if you should take more)!

Anyone know how to cut it in half, to thinner syrup, so 1 tsp = 1/2 tsp (no accidental ODing) WITHOUT ruining its effectiveness? Maybe the thickness is what helps the cough, but I rarely get "right" dose. Not to mention, it's so expensive, and I know I leave about 10 DOSES in glass bottle that's impossible to get to. There's GOT to be a way to cut this syrup and make it thinner! Help?
