Vi-Q-Tuss and dizziness

Its like drinking a shot of weak schnapps. Doesnt really alleviate the cough or make anything cough up easier, but it does mellow you out. No nausea, no dizzyness. I think the people that had those problems maybe had an allergic reaction.

Both my wife and I were prescribed Vi-Q-Tuss. It stopped the cough when we both took it the first morning. I had no noticable side effects, my wife said she was nauseas and dizzy. We both took it before going to bed, and both of us woke with nausea, dizziness, headache, and sweating that lasted most of the morning. We're not going to take this anymore, I would rather choke with the cough. Instead I took, and recomend, Fishermans Friend cough drops to help with the cough..... if you can stand the taste.

First afternoon:
At first it worked great, the dizziness was the same as before I started on V-Q-TUSS, my coughing became controllable, and I wasn't drowning in flem.

First evening: Extreme nausea, disorientation, sleeplessness, and tossed my cookies 3 times.

Next morning: I was very week again and VERY tired from not being able to sleep, and choking on my own flem. So I decided to take a dose (not realizing this was part of my problem). As soon as it hit my stomach I realized that this was the source of my nausea.
10 minutes later I was puking my guts out again.

Next attempt: NEVER!

"This patients medication has just been replaced with nasty syrup water. Let's see if he notices." Absolutely nothing. Is this a placebo medication? No nausea, no dizziness, but most importantly, no cough relief - just a disgusting taste in my mouth. Dr said if nothing else, it will help me sleep. Uh, no, it's not good for that either. Maybe I'm resistant to this drug?

Uncontrollable dizziness, worst nausea ever, high temperature, sleepiness, all the bad stuff. Even though it did make the sore throat better, I would never, ever take it again.
