tussionex

636562 tn?1223667445 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?
Avatar n tn How long have you been taking it? Your body probably has become dependent on it and that is why you are having the withdrawal symptoms. It doesn't take all that long for our bodies to get use to something. Are you thinking about putting it down for good?
Avatar n tn You should ask your pharmacist. I don't know how much hydrocodone Tussionex has in it, but I wouldn't take both of them. Both medications contain hydrocodone, which you probably already know. That is a very strong narcotic and not one you want to OD on. You can take as much as 10 mg of hydrocodone at a time. That could leave yoy feeling quite out of it though if it is too much for your system. I would probably wait 6 hours from the lortab to take the tussionex. Feel better.
Avatar f tn I took tussionex before and it is amazing. it even tastes good. how many times have you withdrawn from it? how much were you using? it is very expensive. at least it was for me. you are not alone here. there alot of people on this site that were addicted to opiates and went thru withdrawal. just read thru some of the posts.
Avatar m tn Getting back on the wagon so to speak was pretty easy physically. Mentally, I know how you feel. But it gets better, and the closer I get back to 56 and beyond, the better mentally I am doing. I am surprised you were given hydro cough syrup with pneumonia, seems counter to wanting to clear it out, but no matter. If you have not done so, flagging yourself with docs and pharmacies would have prevented getting narcs like the syrup you got.
Avatar n tn im am addicted to this and hycodan at the same timw for about 3 years i take about a 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of tussionex a day i have drank 3 and 4 ounces in a day many times with ease thought and put any where from 2 tsp to a whole ounce in sprit and i never dont have a cup i also take klodipin i take 2 to 4 mgs a day and take at least 100mg of lortab about ten 10mgs a day but sometimes it does reach up to 20 tens a day plus the cough syrups how bad is my withdrawl for the codiene going to be i
Avatar f tn Thank you for your comments, Dr. It was only that one incident (thank goodness) - personally, I do think it was the Tussionex. I am much better - except for the residual cough. It's pretty much non-productive but hanging on. Others who have had this cold say the same thing. I've been taking honey and drinking lots of warm/hot liquids.
1003776 tn?1360197582 I would also give so many of them to my non-addict best friend to hold. I told her no matter how much I cry dont give them to me until the day we discussed earlier. I wish you love, luck, and soberity. Dont give up , be stronger than "IT", you have made it this far, just keep looking for that light at the end of the tunnel believe me it does get brighter! Best wishes and good luck to you and your children.
286124 tn?1214938528 Tussionex is the highest concentration of hydrocodone. I 5 ml. teasponn contains the same amount of dope as 2 vicodins. All dope makes you constipated and now they are coming out with a new drug to help people who are on long term opiates.
Avatar n tn It may need to be used every day for several weeks to months to notice improvement in the symptoms. To get the most help from any nasal spray first do a nasal wash to remove mucus from the nose and sinuses. To learn more about this technique please read our nasal wash treatment information by copying and pasting this address http://www.nationaljewish.org/disease-info/treatments/alt-ther/nasal-wash.aspx into the address window of your internet browser.
Avatar f tn You had a life before them and you will have a life after them. But doing drugs to numb the pain is not the answer. you need to talk to someone about how youre feeling. Trust me this is not the way to do it.
Avatar n tn I have a bottle of Tussionex since the last time i was pretty sick. It was filled may 15 2008 and Im not sure what the expiration date is on it. would it be fine to take?
Avatar f tn My addiction started around 1 1/2 to 2 years ago when I had a chronic cough and was given Tussionex - wow how I loved that stuff. It totally stopped my coughing and made you feel great. I took that stuff for heck months...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...
Avatar f tn I dont mean to sound stupid.....I just want to know how bad my situation is. I know addiction is bad no matter what but would that be concidered very high??Thank you all so much for the information and support. Im still terrified but you are making me feel like tomorrow (my day 1) will be "surviveable"....And I can do it because I have you all to help me through it.
Avatar n tn Tussionox does not have penicillin in it. It is a suppressant cough med and is hard to get because it has hydrocodone in it. People the drug addicts abuse it, many used to shoot it up. But for the ones that need it, it is a safe reliable cough med and i recommend it. Before you ask for it be sure you are coughing alot with chest congestion.
Avatar n tn There are a couple of different options here. There is a no-pull harness that you can buy that will stop him from dragging you all over the place when you take him out. It goes around his chest and up under his underarms, and it feeds through d-rings on a belt that goes around him. This way, when he pulls, it causes the rig to pull up on his underarms, making it extremely uncomfortable for him to pull you. There is another option called the Gentle Leader halter.
901807 tn?1287015788 Swampy's income varies from year to year, as does the kids he buys for. Usually, though, he tries to give a few high thought gifts rather than many smaller ones or impulse buys. As an example, his niece is going to get alphabet blocks, and a high chair to use at her grandmother's. Swampy is also thinking of a fun "California" gift would be matching tie dyes for his SIL and niece. There will be candy, cheese, olive oil, and coffee for the adults to share.
Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar f tn I did this over a course of 1 month (started in January and got caught yesterday) I had a total of 6 rx (2 I tried to get filled in a matter of one week) the reason I tried to do 2 in one week is bc my dr wrote me a script on Tuesday (this dr had already written me a script two weeks prior). I went to the pharmacy to try to get it filled. They said my insurance wouldn't cover it until next Friday so they wouldn't fill it.
1071153 tn?1255369215 It was explained to me that when you start using drugs in High School you stop your emotional development. That puts it pretty strongly but it has to do with learning how to tolerate bad feelings without instantly making them go away. Its about learning that everything passes and it is not necessary to panic or feel trapped by a bad feeling. You have a lot in your life to protect, ride this WD out. I like to picture myself balanced on a surf board in the midst of huge waves and rocky waters.
Avatar f tn If you are high risk and you have had two shows of high protein in your urine then they would consider inducing you I would think.. High protein is a symptom of pre - eclempsia, are they monitoring you? Here in Australia they only offer to induce you if there is a valid medical reason, or if you are at least 10days overdue.
Avatar f tn my husband does the same thing...just used to happen if he was drinking alcohol, after 3-4 beers. The other day he had not been drinking at all, sitting there watching tv and felt like he needed to cough, but as soon as he inhaled to cough, his breath cut short....face turned red, scrunched face, like he was trying to force out a cough with a closed mouth, started shaking and leaning over, about to pass out. I started screaming his name, he does not respond, all of a sudden....
Avatar m tn Please don't try and kill yourself its not the answer!!! 1st question: Are you clean??? I am a greatfull recovering addict. If you can get to an NA meeting you should try. There are some amazing people there that feel just like you so. I don't know where you live but there has to be a program that can help you with your depression issues. If you really feel like hurting yourself go to the hospital or call 911.
Avatar m tn This leads to exaggerated effects or feeling of euphora and other symptoms. It may be harder for these people to get off the cough syrup because they are sort of absorb it more so to speak. There are genetic tests to see if you have this enzyme. But they are not covered by insurance and can be expensive. So, any medication that has opioids and drugs that are addictive you should use with caution. A lot of people get easily addicted to codeine in cough syrup as well and this drug is similar.
Avatar n tn I'm going to be very honest here. The effects you're showing now are things you would only encounter in advanced stages of amphetamine addiction. Your symptoms scare me. You really need to be in a healthcare facility for a monitored detox to make sure your heart is OK during the detox. The strain that this drug is placing on your heart is scary. You need to reach out to someone and get into some sort of program immediately.
Avatar n tn I was also given a three day regiment of azithromicin (zythromax) and Tussionex to control the cough. I was also given a DuoNeb. None of which seemed to work. After checking in with my primary care, i was given a flovent inhaler, to no avail. Following that, i was put on 80mg of prednisone, down to 60, then weaned off.
