I wrote earlier on the list concerning the problem with cough syrups. Our neuro told my husband that there is NO problem taking the cough syrups and in some cases they actually help the PWP. In fact he said he didn't even know for sure why they put the warning lablel on. Murph used the cough syrups for quite awhile, and had no problems. I encourage everyone to talk to their own neuro regarding this, but that is what ours said. Hope this helps a little bit.
