Vi-Q-Tuss and headache

Anyone else have shoulder pain and/or rib pain? Almost like a gall bladder attack? Have taken it twice and both times have had a severe pain for a short time, helps cough though..Is this just me or a common side effect? Also the itchiness..

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.

This medicine made me nauseaus as well - my doctor suggested taking benedryll about 20 minutes before taking the medicine again. I got very sleepy but it worked, no nausea and no headache from it. I still wouldn't advise moving around too much, but then again if you're taking this stuff - you should be sick to the point where you should keep yourself in bed anyway.

within 30 minutes of taking the cough syrup I was drunk feeling a little nauseated and real dizzy standing up and walking,vision problems hard to focus on anything.within 45 minutes I was iching real bad,all of the symtoms left after two hours except the drunk feeling.I do have a slight headache but I had one before I took the cough syrup.

This medication gave me a terrible headache. As long as I was laying down I was ok, but as soon as I stood up I became extremely clammy and started throwing up. It helped with my cough but not to the extent I would ever take it again.

Within an hour of taking Vi-q-tuss I became very nauseated, weak, sweaty and dizzy. The lasted about two hours, but the rest of the day I felt slightly nauseated with a headache. I did stop coughing for about three to four hours. The night before I had taken Vi-q-tuss at bedtime and did not have any side effects. I probably will not take anymore.

same side effects as messge May 2003 by guest #2288...vomited EVERYTHING and then EXTREME nausea...dry heaves..headache...did not take again and it was 24 hours before I even BEGAN to feel better....
