@bechtlerd, welcome to Connect. I am glad your research brought you to this forum. Our mission is to help every member have a better quality of life as well as a place to get feedback from other members who share our experiences. Somewhere along this journey, I had a similar cough. My companion and life partner was very worried that I was developing something contagious. To learn more about Neurogenic cough reflex, I researched like you and on a public med site found the recommendation for amitriptyline and gabapentin.
So....it is not working as well for you because of side effects. What are they? Is there any way to get around them? The reason I asked is that if you choose CBD without the entourage effect of some THC, you may not have the best response. CBD can be calming especially if you use a high-quality medical cannabis source. If you are doing research you might try the Leafy site. I find it the most reliable at this juncture. If you must omit the THC then try the Papa and Barkley all CBD site. I have been using their products for five or six years and they are consistently
reliable. You can also ask questions and get answers promptly. Perhaps there is a ratio, e.g. 30:1 CBD/THC that will work without getting noticed. I truly don't know.
What I do know is that you cannot trust the consistency of unregulated products that are sold on the street. Let me know if I can help in any way.......I can cheer well.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

I had a severe cough that came on slowly over time and eventually became severe and debilitating for years. I have been diagnosed with acid reflux, and every time I complain about anything concerning my voice, swallowing, throat, etc it is always blamed on that. One day at work, I was coughing to the point that I was doubled over with it, and a customer asked if I take blood pressure meds. They said they had the same cough and it turned out to be their med. I asked my doc to change my ace inhibitor blood pressure med, and sure enough, within a month my cough was gone. That was several.years ago and the discovery was life changing for me. I am not saying that is your problem, but it is something to look into for many people facing this problem. Sometimes the answer is so simple.

Thanks, my side effects were:
Amitriptyline, severe sleepiness to the point of falling asleep while driving, brain fog that affected the ability to do my job etc.
Gabapentin, over time I developed muscle soreness/fatigue that affected day to day, even repeated pulled back muscles which all went away after stopping. Both drugs were tried at low to high strength.
My Dr recommended a break from the injections so I'm searching for another avenue of relief. I'm looking at a store in my area called Your CBD Store, their product is Sunmed which is 3rd party tested.
