I took a teaspoon of Tussionex yesterday for a bad flu and I'm still feeling the affects. Is there a fast way to 'detox' yourself from it or wake yourself up at least? I have to work in an hour and I can barely keep my head up or walk straight. It might be a problem..

Tussionex.
"Side effects may include:
Anxiety,
constipation,
decreased mental and physical performance,
difficulty breathing,
difficulty urinating,
dizziness,
drowsiness,
dry throat,
emotional dependence,
exaggerated feeling of depression,
extreme calm (sedation),
exaggerated sense of well-being, fear,
itching, mental clouding, mood changes,
nausea, rash, restlessness, sluggishness,
tightness in chest, vomiting
"Special warnings about this medication:
Tussionex contains a mild narcotic that can cause dependence and tolerance when the drug is used for several weeks. However, it is unlikely that dependence will develop when Tussionex is used for the short-term treatment of a cough. Like all narcotics, Tussionex may produce slowed or irregular breathing. If you have lung disease or a breathing disorder, use this medication cautiously. Use Tussionex with care if you have the eye condition known as narrow-angle glaucoma, asthma, an enlarged prostate gland, urinary difficulties, an intestinal disorder, liver or kidney disease, an underactive thyroid gland, or Addison’s disease (a disorder of the adrenal glands), or if you have recently suffered a head injury.
Extra caution should be used when giving Tussionex to the elderly and those in a weakened condition.
Remember that Tussionex can cause drowsiness."

You shouldn't be feeling any effects from a med you took yesterday. Your probably feeling tired because you weak and sick. If your able to keep food down, try eating to get your energy back.

well if you can cut back enough a little at a time to figure out how much to take to help with the pain but still let you be somewhat active . that might be a solution i hope for the best for ya.

Humm that does not sound good. The best thing for you to do if you can is to call in sick because you are in no shape to drive. You need to sleep the meds off.

when I want to flush temporary medications like that out of my system, I go for a light jog. It seems like boosting my metabolism helps to burn the stuff out of my system, And drink plenty of water.
