Overall rating: | |           |
Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
Side effects: | | Moderate Side Effects | | Treatment Info |
Condition / reason: | | Mycoplasma bronchitis |
Dosage & duration: | | 1 tsp (dosage frequency: every 12 hours) for the period of 1 week |
Other conditions: | | None |
Other drugs taken: | | None | | Reported Results |
Benefits: | | Suppression of cough |
Side effects: | | Drowsiness, dizziness, dream-like state, very mild haluccinations, weakness in arms |
Comments: | | I was battling a severe, deep, incessant cough, and was diagnosed with mycoplasma bronchitis, probably contracted from my spouse who had walking pneumonia. I couldn’t go for more than 2 minutes without coughing, and couldn’t sleep through the night. After suffering for well over a week, I finally was prescribed Tussionex (my spouse was too), and it was the most amazing relief – it suppressed the cough, and I could finally sleep. Due to the side effects, I haven’t taken it for any common colds or flus, but it was worthwhile for my severe cough. |
