What is Tussionex and it's Effects?
Tussionex is a prescription narcotic used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and cough caused by the common flu or cold. Tussionex is taken orally and should be used only with an accurate measuring implement as taking too much can lead to overdose. This medication is meant to be prescribed with caution as regular or prolonged use could lead to the development of a physical and psychological dependence.

Tussionex presents similar side-effects as other opioids including euphoria and sedation. Many Tussionex users report a warm or pleasant numbing sensation throughout the body, one of the most well known effects of opiates. Withdrawal effects include severe pain, pins and needles sensation throughout body, sweating, extreme anxiety, restlessness, sneezing, fever, depression, and extreme drug cravings.
