Cough suppressant symptoms and conditions

I got off Diovan because of diminished energy, drowsiness, and all-around lack of ability to focus after several years on it. I didn't realize it was the Diovan until I got off it and got on a weight loss med: Phentermine. I felt like I was 20 again. But that was short-lived of course because you can only take that stuff for 90 days, max. Diovan was bad for me. Then the Doc prescribed Lisinopril and I was on that for a couple of months until a week ago. I'd been suffering with a dry cough for a week when I told the Doc about the side effect and I've been off Lisinopril for 7 days. The cough is still but slowly going away. Bouts of coughing are no longer every hour on the hour but about 2-3 times a day and still all night long. I'm off of any BP meds now and my BP is 150/90, same as it was on both Lisinopril and Diovan. Apparently it takes a while for the Lisinopril coughing spells to go away.

I started taking Lotrel 5/20 about 7 days ago. The dry cough is out of control. I have it all day long and it's worse at night. It even wakes me up. The worse thing its hat it doesn't seem to be doing that good a job for me as far as lowering my bp. I'm not taking that on it's own either. My doctor has me taking Hydrochlorothiazide with it.
But all that aside....
If you can't get rid of the dry cough that some along with the Lotrel..you have to try Buckley's Mixture cough suppressant.
The Pharmacist suggested it. OMG i's the nastiest stuff I've ever tasted but......I swear it works. The dry cough was really bothering me and my chest was starting to really hurt from it. This took the edge off really well. I'm just suggesting this for people who find that the Lotrel works for them but the cough is just too much to handle. Buckley's works.
I on the other hand probably have to try another bp med because Lotrel isn't working for me.

We found this medication to be largely ineffective, too mild to have an effect om symptoms. My daughter was diagnosed with strep, and takes Claritin daily for allergy symptoms.On top of the strep, she had a nearly non-stop cough. Prescription stated 1 tsp twice daily. On first night of use, we gave 2 tsp and had zero improvement in symptoms. After two hours, gave another 2 tsp (4 total), and again, had zero improvement in symptoms. Following night, abandoned this med, and used individual meds instead of this combo. Used Benadryl to replace antihist, used much cough suppressant individually, but did used same decongestant slightly higher amount. Also, supplemented with Tylenol. Everyone slept on the second night.

I took last night and felt dizzy, highly agitated and anxious. Needless to say I did not take it again. I am a little confused because I have taken an over the counter liquid expectorant with a cough suppressant many times and never had this type of reaction. I felt I should have had some type of warning about this. Luckily for me, I was at home on the couch instead of having to function at work or even worse, driving somewhere! It's horrible and I will never take it again!
