Hydrocodone homatropine syrup
Common Questions and Answers about Hydrocodone homatropine syrup
vicodin
Well, tussionex is part hydrocodone which is a semi-synthetic opioid and part chlorpheniramine which is a type of antihistamine. So some people can be more sensitive to the hydrocodone (vicadin) part of the cough syrup. It is a fairly addictive drug and some people have genetics (an enzyme called cpy 2d6) that increases the duration the hydrocodone is elevated in their blood. This leads to exaggerated effects or feeling of euphora and other symptoms.
This cough syrup combines an anti-histamine (chlorpheniramine) with a codeine-like cough suppressant called hydrocodone. Tussionex stops coughing well, but it carries a risk of potential side effects, including drowsiness, constipation, lightheadedness, and vomiting. The hydrocodone component is also an addictive medication and should be used with caution.
I was given hycodan (hydrocodone) cough syrup. A doctor told me to take it when I have trouble sleeping as well as when I have a bad cough. I have had it for about six weeks, and I take a single dose two, sometimes three nights a week. Is it possible to develop a dependency or addiction when you only take it three times a week for a couple of months?
However, here is the problem - The dilating drops this new doctor used were not Tropicamide but Homatropine. I only found later on this forum that the effect of these particular drops can last upto a week.
1. It's been 2 days and still the near vision is not back to full (the drops have not worn off). I wear dark, UV tinted glasses when I go outside in the sunlight but sometimes the reflecting sunlight from cars and the street does go into my unprotected eye.

I relapsed in Dec/Jan and it all started with bronchitis and a bottle of cough syrup with codeine (not even hydrocodone).. Good job on being honest with your idiot doctor.. now just pour it out and move on. No need to be worried or dwell at all.. Just be on your a-game cause chances are even a teaspoon will kick those cravings into overdrive so its best to not have it around.. good luck!
All opiates/opioids are cough supressants. Promethazine cough syrup can be compounded with either hydrocodone or codeine. Taking an occasional Vicodin while on treatment is not drug abuse.
Two weeks ago I have a severe sinus infection, the doctor prescribed some azithromycin, prednisone, and hydrocodone cough syrup, I only took the cough syrup twice, it was too strong and made me hallucinate. However, I now have a stiff neck that is extremely painful at times. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and I can't continue to stay in bed. Yet, when I get up and sit in the chair I am exhausted. The stiffness and pain is on the right side of my neck and head.
I need some answers- I have been abusing Hycodan (Hydrocodone cough syrup) for several months now. I recieved the first prescripton a couple years ago and noticed that i liked it. I would get another Rx off and on for bronchitis or whatever, and during these times i would take more than i should at a time, but when i ran out i never had any w/d. Over the last 6 months or so i have had several refills and hardly went without the drug for more than a day.
For OTC cough syrup, I use Delsym (Dextromethorphan polistirex) or Mucinex (Guaifenesin). I've never had a problem with either, and I'd consider myself fairly sensitive to cold medications. When I need the big guns, I get my PCP to prescribe Tussionex (chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone) aka. "Liquid Gold". I love this stuff. It's expensive, hence the name. But you WILL stop coughing, and you WILL sleep!
Each teaspoonful (5 mL) of TUSSIONEX (hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine) Pennkinetic Extended-Release Suspension contains hydrocodone polistirex equivalent to 10 mg of hydrocodone bitartrate and chlorpheniramine polistirex equivalent to 8 mg of chlorpheniramine maleate. TUSSIONEX (hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine) Pennkinetic Extended- Release Suspension provides up to 12-hour relief per dose. Hydrocodone is a centrally-acting narcotic antitussive. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine.
It makes it easy to exam the eyes since it is already dilated and it is supposed to decrease ciliary spasm. Years ago, I use homatropine which has a much shorter effect and usually stopped it in a week.
I have not routinely used a post operative dilating drop after retina vitreous surgery for the past 10 years. In some cases I have put in atropine to have the eye dilated the next day for a quicker post operative visit.
I am 7 weeks pregnant, and need some comfort from anyone with information on taking hydrocodone while pregnant. I am so scared for my baby. I have cut down to 1 and a half a day. But I keep seeing commercials of babies with birth defects and I don't want to ruin my baby's life. Please keep in mind I take this medication because I had several failed back surgeries..
Also the type of drop used makes a huge difference. Neosynephrine and tropicamide wear off in 2- hrs in most every one. Cyclogel can last several days, homatropine almost a week and atropine over a week. For our patients that have this problem we us half the regular amount and we use only short acting neosynephrine and tropicamide.
Why would my drug test show Hydrocodone? My husband is prescribed hydrocodone for arthritis. Could handling his meds somehow rub off on mine? I don't get it; but the clinic is threatening to drop me.
It may be that you are on another drop like homatropine or cyclogyl that is causing the dilation. Also, it might just be part of the normal healing process. Please talk to your surgeon to see how you are doing. Good Luck.
AND, I was given a Rx for Hycodan syrup, which, as we all know, has hydrocodone in it. But my husband gave it to me when I needed it, and I took it only as ordered. I flushed the rest of it. I still feel like I cheated, though. But, I'm getting past that. I know it's not abusing or cheating if you take a medication like it is ordered and if you REALLY need it. Anyway, I just wanted to check in. 121 days! Wow!
I have had a pressure reading of 35 the wek after surgery. it was 22 last week. Dr. is hoping the steroid drop Homatropine & cutting down the antibiotoc drop Tobramycin will bring it down even more. I have had previous cataract surgeries in my late 40's then Retinal detachments ....[I have a wonderful Retina specialist at Baptist Eye Center, Little Rock, Ark].
Thank you for you concern & reply..deeply appreciated..
I realise I am addicted to a cough syrup with hydrocodone(5mg per dose). I go through a 240mg bottle in 8-9 days. My problem is I have allergies of dust and mold that make me cough till I am exhausted or sinus drainage from these allegies that cause sinus infections that settle in my chest and it starts all over again. I take it as a maintenance to keep from all my symptoms coming to the uncontrollable cough to the tickle in my throat that drives me nuts.
A uveitis that severe you should also be using some sort of red top drop to keep your pupil dilated (atropine, homatropine or cyclogyl) 3. If you are no better after a weeks therapy your treatment needs stepped up perhaps oral steroids. 4. You also need a work up to determine why you have uveitis.
