Hydrocodone with antihistamine

Common Questions and Answers about Hydrocodone with antihistamine

vicodin

Avatar n tn I told my doctor and he already new about this affect so he gave me a months supply along with a steriod spray and Antihistamine pill.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn my cousin has been taking hydrocodone and has had severe hives for 7 weeks now. she has quit taking the hydrocodone 6-7 weeks ago but the hives are still coming (every single day) and in different places on her body. is this an allergic reaction to the hydrocodone? and can it take this long for the hives to go away?
666921 tn?1254990618 I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it
Avatar n tn How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
Avatar f tn Hi & Welcome....She's already taking an antihistamine (I would not add more).....Temaril-P is a combination drug consisting of antihistamine & a steriod. What I think she needs is LASIX (For the fluid retention). Normally for heart failure, Lasix are prescribed along with the heart meds. and can be given 1-3 times a day depending on the severity of the congestion. Once, the fluid is off her lungs, the cough and congestion will improve greatly.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with chronic hives about one year ago. I was told just take antihistamines because you may never figure out why you are breaking out. After going to an expert dermatoglist who again stated just take medicine to control the hives - I ended up on Allegra, Claritin and Doxepin. My hives seemed managable mostly at this point but in October 2009 I stopped all antihistmaines to have a food alllergy test just to see if anything turned up there.
Avatar f tn not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
Avatar m tn m a long time sinus sufferer and hydrocodone with chlorotab which is the same thing as tuscinex works. It also gives me energy and focus. I believe I probably have limbic ADD. The last thing I want to hear is how addictive and the long bad road they can take you on. I get that but we spend so much time focusing on that we never think to focus on what people are saying when they say the above, what it means and use that information to study it or find alternatives.
Avatar n tn I am on day 6 I believe of no hydrocodone and I am just starting to feel better. I am starting to get some of my energy back and am starting to act like my old self. I am still really moody but other than that, I am not having much w/d anymore. How much hydro's were you taking and what mg's? That makes a difference too....hang in there. This website is awesome and it helps so much.
406036 tn?1216188561 I think you'll be fine here. Generally the docs. don't write a script for cough syrup unless you've got a hacking unproductive one that keeps you from sleep. Otherwise, something like Delsym 12 hour is awesome. There are even lots of Rx cough syrups with diff. opiates in them like with codeine, which is known for it's cough suppressive properties. There are lots of different Tussi formulations too with different meds. in them, some with opiates, some without.
461838 tn?1255790216 Typically, the docs told me to try Advil PM. I've taken a few hydrocodone (very few) over my last 18-weeks of treatment when the feeling of having been beaten all over my body with a ball bat comes along. The docs didn't freak out over it as they trust that I don't abuse them. Regarding the nasal alergies, which kick my butt from time to time, they told me to take Claritin.
Avatar m tn 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. TUSSIONEX (hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine) Pennkinetic Extended- Release Suspension is for oral use only.
Avatar f tn t itchy, but I could feel my sinuses swell a bit along with my tear ducts swelling. I took an antihistamine, which I haven't taken in a long while. The antihistamine alone was okay, but combine it with using my contacts, and my eyes swell. I don't know if it's the saline or contact solution. So, I stopped the meds, and it went away. My contacts alone are fine. No issues. Last week, I took an antihistamine before getting my allergy injection, and I was fine.
Avatar f tn I am to see my pain doctor Monday and I am going to plead with him to just give me back an extra hydrocodone like I use to be on. I know they fear for the acetaminophen affects on the liver, but it is pretty much a waste of money. Does anyone have any idea why it just doesn't work?
1160764 tn?1267113859 I am with you. Saturday was my first day with no vicodin. What helped me, as I am a mother of a 4 yr old autistic with three teenagers and a husband who doesn't understand. Your physical pain will be the hardest. When you are a mom though we tend to put high demands on ourselves. Do everything above that the others shared and let the rest go. Let your house go. Let the dishes go. Enlist the help of your little ones while "mommy is sick". They won't mind helping.
Avatar f tn I, too, suffer from panic attacks. I can tell you that my anxiety was off the charts for about 3 weeks after I stopped abusing pain meds. I went to see a psychiatrist and told them I did not want benzos since I have abused them in the past and he put me on an antihistamine. I didn't think that an antihistamine would help my severe anxiety, but to my surprise it did!
Avatar n tn What kind were you taking?
Avatar n tn Jaybay, Thank goodness she did take an antihistamine (which is of course what benadryl is) along with prednisone. She did some quick, smart thinking. If she would have waiting on me...she may have been in ER. Sorry I forgot to tell you Orianna, good thinking.
Avatar m tn I have severe back problems. Currently taking 3 ten mil hydrocodone a day, and one 2 mil xanax at night for sleep. The tabs do not work anymore. Dr. said we could try morphine 20ml. twice a day. question is will I have to quit the xanax at night? I read where they are not mixable. Can anyone help me here. I meet with the Dr. this week, he does not yet know of the xanax that I take at night. I just started them a couple of weeks ago. Sleeping better than I have in ten years.
Avatar n tn Hey Ive been using roxys anywhere from 15mgs-60mgs a day for 10 months. I stopped a couple months ago for a week then started again.
