Got an annoying dry cough kicking in.

Just wondering if its worth getting some Robitussin with Dextromethorphan in?

I know its meant for a dry cough, but always bit wary of cough and cold remedies beyond paracetamol for fever and headache and brufren for any inflammation.

But this dry cough is a pain! :\
 
Dont know about coughs but its fucking brilliant at causing explosive incontinence, vomiting and double vision. 500mg should sort you right out.
 
It's a trippy drug mate if you take too much!! Some benzos and maybe 200ml it is cool but you will be fucked...can't say how effective it is for your cough though I only ever used it for re-creational purposes. Be careful with it though
 
Only plan to take recommended dose! Not interested in recreational use whatsoever!

I read that codeine isn't that effective, but I take it daily anyway.
 
I've taken it for reasons beyond feeling physically ill and having weird dissociation, so I can tell you that it does indeed help. Not gonna kick it right out of you, but if you can bear the taste, it's not too bad.
 
I think DXM is a good cold medicine and stops cough for me.

Also something else that works pretty well is codeine. It loosens the throat. The formulas that are OTC here contain a very low dose of codeine as it does not take much for it to loosen the throat.

Tylenol works pretty well for me whenever I feel under the weather.

Then there is always straight up narcotics..... but that is a bit off topic and not good HR.
