Vi-Q-Tuss and vi q tuss

After suffering a week with a nasty cold I went to my doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis. As well as an antibiotic I also got Vi-Q-Tuss for my cough. I took it as ordered at bedtime. At first I was feeling a bit tipsy, but it did stop the cough. I started to feel drowsy so I went to bed and as some have complained....I cannot sleep. I also seem to have a side effect that I haven't seen here yet....I am VERY cold. Freezing to the point of shivering uncontrollably and nothing seems to warm me. I was under many blankets, mind you I live in Florida and it is not yet cold outside despite the time of year, in fact we had the air conditioner on during the day today. But, thankfully, no nausea or vomiting. Even though these side effects are a bit bothersome, I suppose it is a small price to pay to stop that painful cough I was dealing with, so long as the effects don't worsen. I will however ask to try something different next time I need a cough medicine. There has got to be something else I can take that will work at stopping the symptoms without causing such weird adverse effects.

My husband took this medicine after coughing continuously for over a week. Neither one of us was getting any sleep. We tried everything before he went to the doctor. He was prescribed Vi-Q-Tuss. It worked great. Nothing else worked. You have to drink a lot of water for the medicine to work right. It helps the guafenesin do its job. You should not take this medicine unless you are really sick and regular cough suppressants don't work because it is narcotic and can be addictive.

My wife took only one dose of Vi-Q-Tuss before bed as prescribed. Very shortly after taking it she started feeling itchy all over the place. The itchiness got progressively worse and then she started becoming delirious and started twitching uncontrollably. It was then that we decided to go to the ER. They gave her an IV with a mega-dose of Benadryl and Pepcid as well as some serious Steroids in order to stabilize her heart rate (which was very high) and to help the itching to subside. She described it as torture. Even with the IV medications and the prescribed antihystamines and steroids, she still suffered from an ever-constant itching sensation. It helped her cough, but it did so at a hell of a price. This stuff is NASTY. DO NOT TAKE IT.

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.

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.

Will vomit food up taken within 1 hour of taking Vi-Q-tuss. Doesn't matter if it's before of after you took the meds. But, if you ate recently it will come back up within 2 hours or you'll feel extremely queezy until you do throw it up.
