Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ron, I smiled to myself about cough medicine for LBD. I am exactly at the same place you are. I haven't learned what are safe and what it not. Except that anything with Dithenhydramine (Benedryl (sp) in it should not be taken. I love reading your responses, you are really gaining knowledge about LBD. I remember when you came on and had so many questions. You do learn well.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 One of the members of my support group has asked this question. Can anyone help please? " I was hoping you would have some information on LBD and cough medicines. My mom started taking codene today. Is that generally okay? Is there a better choice?
