tussionex

636562 tn?1223667445 Chlorpheniramine maleate and hydrocodone bitartrate are used together in an oral preparation to relieve coughing and upper respiratory symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis or the common cold. Hydrocodone release from the Tussionex® oral suspension is controlled by the Pennkinetic® system. Chlorpheniramine release from Tussionex® is prolonged by use of an ion-exchange polymer system. Chlorpheniramine is well absorbed from the GI tract.
Avatar m tn Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine. TUSSIONEX (hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine) Pennkinetic Extended- Release Suspension is for oral use only.
Avatar f tn I took Tussionex for the first time at 11:00 pm after I took a Levaquin at 10:00 pm. I have bronchitis. I awoke suddenly from my sleep at 2:00 am and had no breath - and could not speak or call my husband although I was trying to say 'help'. I got my breath back after a minute or so and was pretty shaken up by this. I'm very tired but reluctant to go back to sleep if it happens again. I was pretty shaken up. Is this an allergic reaction or a side effect?
Avatar n tn sober 20+ years in 12 step program. Take Tussionex for chronic cough, 1 tsp. per day. I don't abuse it by taking more. But, if I don't take it every day I start to feel like I am getting the flu. Is that withdrawal, just the level in my blood is dropping off after 24 hours? Would appreciate anyone's input, especially if you have experience. Thanks and bless you all. One day at a time, because that's all we've got.

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 I am hopefully going to start treatment AGAIN for tussionex withdrawal and treatment. Pray for me. Any suggestions or any other people out there like me? I am so alone.
Avatar m tn Don't know what you're working on. Time release is slow release. When I managed health food stores the saying about time release was, expensive urine or bowel movements, since the body evacuates before the stuff comes out of the capsule.
Avatar n tn Had all the allergy shots available on the planet (allergies to dust/dust mites) and today, I read about Tussionex. I control my blood pressure very well with Adalat once a day. I'll be seeing my GP on April 8. I pray that Tussionex (taken only 8 hours or 12 hours prior to my show/s as opposed to taking the narcotic regularly - that's scary) would be permissible for me even when taking Adalat.
1003776 tn?1360197582 it sounds like you are really motivated to make a change which is great! Like many others said I agree you should try tapering off. I wouldn't recommend leaving this soley up to you I would give them to your husband make a plan for tapering and go for it!!! I just worry that if you keep the pills yourself and dispense them yourself you won't be able to control the urge!
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 Last night and today, I have relapsed yet again on Tussionex. For the past two weeks, I have felt nothing but excruciating pain in my heart from so many losses. My divorce, my ex boyfriend and my recent ex boyfriend. Then, I used last night. I took a tablespoon of the tussionex and I felt numb. I felt happy. I felt like I didn't want to kill myself. So I took two teaspoons today. The pain is still nagging at the back of my head.

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 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 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.
Avatar f tn When is it a good time to go on leave if you work but its not harsh work just sit down office work??
Avatar f tn lots of bubbles first and less at the end. Extended release versions try to even the bubbles for the referenced time. At the end of the referenced time the amount of medicine has waned enough that if the next dose is late you will not be maintaining a consistent level in your system. This is not only hard on a body, but effects the quality of treatment.
Avatar f tn Hi Brianna. My name is Janelle. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I experienced that with all 3. Your uterus is growing and leaving less room for your bladder to expand. So you can feel your bladder release when you go to the bathroom.
Avatar f tn After my mri, at my follow up my doctor said that i had plica syndrome and that i should try taking some time off and see if that helps. He mentioned surgery but wanted me to take time off first. I took it easy, and rowed only twice for 1 month. I did not experience any relief with the pain, and it even got worse. I went back after a month and he said that surgery was probably the best option for my problem, because it affects my everyday activities such as walking and doing stairs.

Avatar f tn Asthmatics worst time of day tends to be between 2 AM and 5 AM, I had a doctor tell me one time, and based on my experience -- especially when sick -- it's very true. Bedtimes are the worst! Extra pillows can help, or if there is some way you can sleep in a recliner that is great too. As far as the Zyrtec causing a cough, I haven't heard of that firsthand, but you might ask your pulmonary doc about Singulair -- it's a once daily preventative tablet for allergies and asthma.
Avatar m tn In regards to California trying to lighten their financial load, they are willing to release inmates.... to save money? Go one step back. Quit prosecuting for petty crimes. If someone is worth incarcerating, keep them in jail and look to make cuts elsewhere. (I don't know... start with some of your welfare policies....
Avatar n tn If you prove not to have asthma, aren’t smoking and didn’t have whooping cough,you should contact your doctor and request a prescription for a strong cough suppressant You could try an over-the-counter cough suppressant with “DM” and if that doesn’t provide relief of the cough, then call or visit your doctor to make sure that nothing more serious is causing your cough (you may need a chest X-ray to do that) and get a stronger cough preparation such as Tussionex.
