Dry cough going on a week, nearly throwing up from some of the coughing fits. Didn't sleep one night this week already due to the coughing. Docs gave me benzonatate/tessalon perles and they do jack. Antihistamines with them don't seem particularly effective either. I'm on Wellbutrin so I can't have the dextromethorphan. I have stooped to eating straight spoonfuls of honey at this point. I coughed so hard earlier I launched a pine bros lozenge right into my face mask.

I will take the most unhinged, off the wall, batshit cough relief/suppressant tips you've got at this point. I've also been trying the suppression techniques but the tickle is sometimes so horrible that I'm standing there, eyes pouring, nose running, body actually spasming, and end up choking anyway. Please send anything you've got

God, trying to deal with sudden attacks while in the middle of my job is the worst. Going through my day absolutely fine, a bit off but no worse than usual. Giving my book fair speech to a class and there it is- the full body tingle/tremble, the sudden hot/cold, the "am I about to lose my lunch on the carpet right now," feeling. At least I carry Zofran and pepto everywhere so I can hopefully curb it, but goddamn, my entire being lights up with panic until I can get to the bathroom. Managed to finish talking quick and get a Zofran in my gullet, but now I'm going to be scared of throwing up AND running to the toilet for an unknown amount of time.
