Tussionex cough medicine

Common Questions and Answers about Tussionex cough medicine

tussionex

Tussionex is the strongest cough medicine you can get, and it has quite a street value due to the opiate content. It's pretty stout stuff along with the antihistamine. So yeah, you've got a little opiate withdrawal along with the antihistamine rebound that el_em mentioned. No fun for a few days and you probably won't sleep well for a few nights, but you'll get through it. Most docs don't prescribe tussionex for more than a short-term cough.

I wanted to know how I could stop taking Tussionex suspension, a potent cough medicine which contains hydrocodone polistirex. I've been taking this medicine for three years now, nearly everyday, and I wanted to know if you or any of the other doctors could help me with this. I've come back to this site often since I posted that question, and nobody seemed interested in what I had to say, since there weren't any answers to my question for maybe two to three days now.

Treatment of your husband’s chest infection will, indirectly, treat his cough. Check with his doctor to see if he could take any of a number of cough medicines to relieve his cough, such as Tussionex® (hydrocodone) and any of a number of codeine containing cough syrups.

I've tried everything you could think of including nexium, dexilant, omeprazole, lansoprazole, all acid reducers, antigas, I also tried allegra. The thing is that the only medication that helps me with the chronic cough and belching is is TUSSIONEX witch is a combination of Hydrocodone and Chlorpheniram, but the problem is of course that because it's a narcotic no doctor will give that on a daily bases for the rest of my life.

how about taking tessalon perles or something like that? i LOVE tussionex! my all time favorite cough medicine! love it!!! would cough out a lung before i would take it again though! now this is just regarding myself... for me, i have to be really careful what meds i take esp. narcotics... i will manufacture pain to give myself a free high here and there... by no means am i a martyr... i had kidney stones a few weeks ago and i had to take pain meds...

When I say uncontolable I mean she was coughing non stop for hours at a time. He put her on an antibiotic (zpack) and gave her cough medicine with codine. 5 days later she was not any better. Brought her back to the doctors and they did a test for whooping cough(have to wait 2 weeks for the results) and a chest x-ray, which was fine and put her on steriods. A week later she was still not better. She was seen by a pulmonary specialist this morning. They do not know whats wrong with her.

The only medicine that seems to controll the cough in some way is Tussionex, which is a narcotic cough suppressent and I'm on my maximum dosage of it now. It's starting not to work. If anyone has any info that might help, PLEASE let me know. I'm a student in college and this cough disrups my life. I've had to miss numerous classes from the coughing attacks.

A neck and chest X-Rays were done, nothing. We have tried every cough medicine/home treatment you can name and they are not even taking the edge off. We went to an ENT today and he was just as baffled. He did a scope and said throat and vocal cords were normal. Ears were squeaky clean. We left today so discourage because it took two weeks to even see him and now he is referring us to a Pulmonary Doctor, who knows how long that will take. Has anyone heard of this before?

My life is on hold, as I continue to cough, I stay at home more and more. Tussionex (cough suppressent) helps, but the dr. will not prescribe it, even though I only take 1/4 tsp every day. Please Help.

I finally had a CAT scan and it shows that my lungs are fine, except from some harmless scarring from prolonged coughing. Antibiotics have no effect on the cough. I've used Tussionex (codeine cough syrup) for years, but drs. don't like to prescribe it, so I use it when I can't stand it any more to make it last. The cough leaves me so exhausted, and my muscles painful, and it's almost impossible to sleep. It almost always starts the second I lie down as I have a post nasal drip.

Go to him with the drainage and cough, without the cough medication but bring it with you. Have him look at your throat and hear you. Take the medicine in his presence and ask him to check you in 30-45 minutes, however long you know it takes the med to work on you. You will make a believer out of him. Just make sure you find the MINIMUM dosage that works for you and ONLY take that much!!!

I had no cold, no flu symptoms just a productive cough. As six weeks went by I realised this was no ordinary cough and my Doctor prescribed me cough medicine and a course of antibiotics because of it being suspected chest infection. Then at 8 weeks I was back at my Doctors again who gave me heartburn medicine, as I was complaining of heartburn which I feel at the time was a 'product' of all the coughing not a symptom. I was also given a asthma reliever inhaler...

I have a 9 year old daughter who has had a tickle in her throat for 14 months. This tickle causes her to cough 4 to 10 times a minute. Most of the time she coughs silently (just her diaphram quickly pushing out air) but sometimes she coughs out loud. She does this intentionally she says. When she lays down at night it gets worse and she has a barking cough until she goes to sleep. She doesn't cough when she's asleep. And the silent cough does not exist when she's asleep either.

It's like I just have to keep coughing till I'm all coughed out. I get very hot from the intense coughing, and I get so exhaused from it that I feel like I'm might pass out by the time it slows down. If you figure it out please post.

He said it didn't need to be tapered since she was only on it for 5 days. She was also prescribed a cough medicine with codeine so she could sleep at night. When she finished the prednisone, she started wheezing. The dr diagnosed asthma as a result of this respiratory irritation & put her on medrol 32mg for 6 days with no tapering. She got worse with congestion and coughing into the 4th day, but he said the asthma disappeared. She is so tired and exhausted from all this.

I recently had a bad reaction to Tussionex Suspension and had to go to the ER. I agree with the doctor that I had a reaction to the Tussionex, but I'm wondering why it affected me so long after I initially took it (I didn't have any symptoms for the first 7-8 hours). I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I thought a pharmacist would be the best one to answer my question. How do extended release medications work?

until I was diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back - well as luck would have it I was prescribed Vicodin with has the same crap in it as the cough medicine Tussionex had. Well long story short I have finally come to my senses and gave it all up. I can do it...but man oh man this withdrawal is really terrible....

In the meantime, as the appropriate medicines you've been given take effect, you might get some relief from a codeine containing cough suppressant or a medicine called Tussionex® (hydrocodone bitartrate and chlorpheniramine maleate). Do not be discouraged. You made an excellent decision when you decided to stop smoking. Stick with it.

my question to the forum is, can i take this extended release cough syrup for my cough and cold and consider the doses my taper doses i would be taking?? or should i just not even go there. I also have a root canal on monday and would like to save the vics i have for the pain for that. the endodontist wrote me 15 for the procedure. help whats an addict to do?? the cough syrup contains 5mg of hydrocodone per dose which i am supposed to take every 12 hours.

I have had a recurrent (mostly during winter) chronic cough for about three years. Totally asymptomatic otherwise. Only known health issues are clinical depression (treated with 300mg/day of Wellbutrin SR) and anemia. No known genetic dispositions (unless you count a maternal grandmother with asthma and lung cancer), no prior exposure to toxic chemicals, no diagnosed connective tissue disorders, no pet birds. I am usually able to manage it with OTC Mucinex DM, but not this time.

I stayed within my daily limits.. actually having brochitis and that extended release cough medicine made it easy.. one teaspoon every 12 hours... I didn't even think about it.. for one I was too sick to care about drugs.. I took what I was given as told.. And i have said this before... Its been sooooo long since I used the pills to get high... I have only maintained my habit for about a year.. so I don't crave "high" I only crave "normal" when i feel bad..

I was totally fed up with Western Medicine, and after doing some research - found the BEST acupuncturist that practices Traditional Chinese Medicine. After the FIRST session - my cough has depleted almost 99%. After the second session - I was coughing about twice a day and it was two coughs - like a normal person. My co-workers have noticed that I'm not coughing and I can make plans for the future without saying - it depends on what I feel like.

I went to see the doctor and as some of you posted, had all sorts of medicine. I've used cough syrup, antihistamine, inhaler, and now nasal spray (just started). I too have wheezing coming out of my throat. It happens on and off and can get worse and make more coughing occur. When all this began though, my throat itched and burned. The itching is incredibly bad. I almost coughed up my gut. I mean to the point of throwing up!

-Lortab, Norco, and Vicodin being the next in line, then darvocet along with cough medicines like tussionex that contains hydrocodone.) and yes IT is very addicting if not used properly.

At any rate, methadone or not, if you need relief from the pain you are experiencing you should have it. About the Hycotuss, it sounds something like Tussionex which is a hydrocodone laced cough syrup. I've had it for bronchitis and pnuemonia is the past and it is pretty powerful stuff. I made the mistake of drinking the whole bottle in one day and WOW! Are you taking it now?

i have the same problem as you all. it really *****. ive tried everything. lozenges, cough medicines, steroid inhalers, chloraseptics. the only thing that has come close to working is Hydrocodone. it helps stop the coughing. if taken with a decongestant cough medicine it helps get rid of mucus build up in the lungs. try it. it worked for me.
