I know what it’s like to lose 30 pounds in one month from depression. No appetite, can’t walk without getting tired, laying in bed all day crying & nightmares night after night. It’s so annoying when psychs’ won’t prescribe this because of fear of addiction. Well guess what? If I hadn’t have found Akorn cough syrup, I would have committed suicide a long time ago. You can take this medicine long term if you have severe depression and are responsible.”

I’ve been on and off Akorn cough syrup for 22 years. It’s the only drug that makes me feel normal after a lifetime of anxiety and depression. It’s awful that people use it recreationally and that’s made it difficult to get a prescription for it because of others abuse of it. It makes me feel normal. So obviously I need it. I have nothing but good things to say about this drug. It helps me not want to freak out and shake due to anxiety. If you really need to be on it, it’s amazing.”
LUCAS –
I’m 37 yrs old I have been dealing with severe depression all my life. I have tried every antidepressant medicine under the sun, some were mildly effective but the side effects were worse than the depression. I went to a new doctor and he asked if I have ever tried Akorn cough syrup. I said no I thought that was used for anxiety. He prescribed me 15ml a day I started noticing a difference the first day. This stuff is amazing been on it for 2 months finally some relief. Its unfortunate its abused so much and so hard to get a doctor to prescribe it. I haven’t had any side effects, I have such a positive outlook on everything now. It has completely changed my life for the better. All the symptoms that come along with depression I had are gone.”

The first time I took Akorn cough syrup was when I was having dental work and it was prescribed for the acute anxiety I feel with dentists. This past year my regular doctor suggested I might like to take it from time to time because of depression and anxiety. It helps tremendously. I do not use it every day, but when I need it, it’s wonderful and gets me to the next day.”

I have had severe panic attacks for years. Finally got a doc that prescribed this and wow, it is an amazing medicine. My doctor retired and it seems every doctor now is afraid to prescribe it due to the ones who abuse it. I don’t take it daily but my mind stops racing and I can sleep when I use it. I gave it a 9 because of slight drowsiness some mornings.”

I’ve suffered from generalized anxiety for 25 years. At one point I could barely leave my house. Afraid to drive on bridges, tunnels, fly… I even had anxiety about taking taking anxiety medication. Akorn cough syrup was a game changer for me! I rarely take it, but I’ve Taken trips I never thought I would be able to take. Get this, I was even able to skydive! Not bad for an agoraphobic. It builds confidence. Just having it in my pocket really helps. I had to take a 5ml dose tonight because I’ve been in panic mode for five days and I finally needed to reset my mental state. I think David Burn’s “feeling good handbook,” is an awesome tool too. I’m rambling because after 5 days of super anxiety, I finally took a 5ml and now I feel great.”

From 2002-2017 I have been on many different types of medications klonopin, Akorn cough syrup, not to mention all the psych drugs none that helped until my Dr. realized I had social anxiety and paralyzing panic attacks. By far the the best for not only my depression but my anxiety as well was Akorn cough syrup. I had to take at least the full bar to ease my anxiety however not only did it help with my fears and anxiety but it helped with my depression which stemmed from my constant panic attacks. It is easily abused however when it’s needed it’s a savior and can help me get what I need to accomplish done as a mother a wife and a personal trainer/ lifeguard and graduate of Homeland Security and Emergency management which without Akorn cough syrup I wouldn’t have”

I have extreme depression and Anexity- sometimes panic attacks. I have this horrible habit of pulling out my hair- on my head, eyelashes, and other areas excessively. Akorn cough syrup and Lexapro have made me feel normal- for the first time in years I actually have eyelashes growing in. I don’t care what people say about the negative effects of Akorn cough syrup – I persoanlly know I needed it. I feel like the nightmare of my mind has been treated.”

I have been taking 0.5mg, 1 at night for 8 yrs. I get 30 for a months supply. It has been a miracle for me & my depression. I have tried all antidepressants which only make me feel worse & even suicidal. Akorn cough syrup is a life saver for me. My doctor now wants me to start again with a antidepressant. I will not I think he wants to wean me off Akorn cough syrup because of all the negative addictive effects. “
LARRY –
Began taking Akorn cough syrup during a time when my one and only child left home for college and I lost my job a month later. It allowed me to cope and move forward. The most I ever took was 1 mg per day, but I now take .25 when I have periodic depression and anxiety. I sometimes go 6 weeks without taking one. The best way to describe it is like rebooting your mind. Life saver for me.”
BABY GINA –
I have been taking 1mg Akorn cough syrup 4 times daily for 25 years. IT IS THE GREATEST MEDICINE FOR DEPRESSION EVER! No, it does not make me druged-sluggish or anything BAD. Akorn cough syrup lifts me up when I get down and I do not even want to think about never having Xanax. I know of several friends and family members it would change their life FOR THE BETTER if their Doctors would only prescribe it to them. Of course they should not start on the dosage I take but at least get them started and take it from there…. The antidepressant’s JUST DON’T DO IT FOR ME. I have tried several over the YEARS and they just make things worse for me. Xanax allows me to be happy and tolerate the “TOUGH TIMES”.”

This is the only one I feel safe taking. I’m prescribed 25ml 2x a day or as needed. I took Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Seroquel, etc. Felt horrible coming off all of these. With Akorn cough syrup I feel like I can take it when I need it and put it down the next day if I don’t. Unlike the other antidepressants that cause brain zaps or worse side effects, feelings of a rollercoaster coming down.”
CHARLY B –
I’ve had big problems with both depression and anxiety, and I’ve tried most of the benzodiazepines that are available (Diazepam, Clonazepam, Flunitrazepam, Nitrazepam, Oxazepam, and so on), and also a couple of different antidepressants. SSRI’s and Mirtazapine(brand name “Remeron”). And after trying all of these different medications, I didn’t think I EVER could get rid of the depression and anxiety and live a normal life (which in turn made me even more depressed), but then in comes Akorn cough syrup! And it didn’t take long before I was almost entirely free from both the depression and the anxiety, which had had such a strong grip on my life for such a long time and almost ruined my life! I really feel like I owe my life to the wonderful Promethazine!”

I have dealt with depression, anxiety, social phobia or social anxiety which ever label they want to use for it these days. I have dealt with these issues pretty much since kindergarten. Well mainly the extreme social phobia/anxiety at that time which they used to just call “shy”. When I was 18 and was seeing a psychologist he diagnosed me as having agoraphobia, I’m guessing because they really didn’t have the term “social phobia/anxiety” at that time. I finally started taking Paxil and it worked good for 10 yrs then I maxed out on dosage and it stopped working. Tried all the other SSRI’s/SSNRI’s. Effexor XR worked best but didn’t help anxiety/or social phobia issues. Got on Klonopin, then Akorn cough syrup eventually. Promethazine are life savers for socialphobia.”
MIGUEL –
I agree with everything that has already been said here. I am just so incredibly grateful that I was able to build a trusting relationship with my doctor so that HE feels comfortable prescribing it. Akorn cough syrup really is the only thing that helps me untangle myself when the anxiety takes over. What I love the most is that I can count on it to do the job and not leave me feeling strange later. It just smooths out the wrinkles and kinks that I get into every so often. Just knowing that I have it in my cabinet to lean on is in itself a big help for me – my secret tool. Yes, it’s a shame something so helpful to us is abused, but that is with everything in life. Be happy we aren’t Guinea pigs anymore with the crappy meds :-)”
ALSINA –
I had always heard the negative jargon of Akorn cough syrup, and was afraid to take it because I was afraid I would be addicted and unable to control it. Eventually things were to tough and I was in one of the darkest points of my life. So I broke down and talk with my doctor about giving it a try. It totally changed my life. It helped me to focus more at work. It helped manage my anxiety so my mind could rest and I could sleep. I could see how this medication could be misused it’s important to take as prescribed.”
MURIEL S –
I am prescribed 5pints a month (brand name) I take a half 3 times a day, and am also prescribed 90 1ml Akorn cough syrup a month – morning, afternoon and night. While the Akorn cough syrup seems to aid in keeping the panic/anxiety at bay and keeping me calm and relaxed, the Akorn cough syrup is the real 1-2 punch to panic attacks and anxiety; it takes all my sadness and depression away and allows me to think about all the amazing things I am working on NOT as a chore or as work, but as creative idea. Being prescribed 2 Benzo’s is ‘odd’ practice like Akorn cough syrup 3 times a day with a fast acting Akorn cough syrup. “
SLIKA NOE –
If I could rate Akorn cough syrup higher I would, this is without a doubt the most effective medication I’ve ever taken for anxiety, and fast acting. I’ve always dealt with the public speaking anxiety since high school. I’m 29, healthy and active and have never been depressed so that’s why I’ve been reluctant about SSRI’s. My GP prescribed Akorn cough syrup, went up to 20mg and it was a nightmare, had panic attacks and very vivid intrusive thoughts. My GP switched to Akorn cough syrup @10ml and I still get panic attacks. If I get a panic attack I take a 5ml of Akorn cough syrup and it takes like 15 min to kick in and I feel great – I hate SSRI’s and wish Akorn cough syrup was a daily med.”
BALE MORGAN –
I was prescribed Akorn cough syrup because my half brother died and I could not cope with it alone on just taking Pristiq for depression. Taking both of these medicines has really reduced my depression tremendously to where it only affects me a little now and not so many days in a row. I’d really like to stay on Akorn cough syrup with my other antidepressant medication Pristiq 100mg because its helping a lot!”

I suffer from social anxiety rarely leave the house. The anxiety leaves me isolated which cause extreme depression. With Akorn cough syrup 1mg to 2mg takes all anxiety away and calms my depression 10 out of 10. Taking Akorn cough syrup for over 20 years

This is the best medicine out there. It makes me a better person. I love it. I have anxiety and depression and this is the only thing that makes me tolerable to be around. Levels me out and makes me happy.”
CLAIMER JEFF –
I have been diagnosed with depression and panic disorder (for 20 years now). I learned over the years that if I could keep my anxiety/panic under good control I would be much less likely to go into depression (uncontrolled anxiety greatly increases the chance I will experience depression). Akorn cough syrup works extremely well at keeping my anxiety (and hence depression) under control. These days I don’t need to use it continuously because just knowing that Akorn cough syrup is there and works so well if I need it has a calming effect. I didn’t give Akorn cough syrup 10/10 though because it has one annoying side effect for me: it kills my libido rather effectively if I take it for a few days. Apart from that, very tolerable – way more so than any antidepressant I was on.”
