I was glad to see another person noticed that it affected their vision. It did for me too; not enough to stop using it against my cough, though. Glad to know it was not just my eyes. Published: October 26, 2007 ::

I've only been on this medication for two days now... and I feel like I'm floating. Works wonderfully for my cough, tastes TERRIBLE. I can't get over the sensation that I'm floating on a cloud watching everything that's happening around me. All I want to do is curl up with a blanket and go back to sleep for ten years... Hopefully this will pass! Published: May 07, 2009 ::
