Ok here goes... I have never been able to take morphine or lortab without extreme nausea. I normally ask for an antiemetic to go along with the narcotic if I "NEED" to have that kind of pain medicine. about 3 or 4 years ago, I had a really bad cough keeping me up all night. So my doctor prescribes some kind of narcotic anti-tussin and said it has Vicodin in it, and that it should work really well. I didn't know what vicodin was and was so sick I forgot to ask if it would make me nauseated. So I took it as prescribed and it did not make me nauseated, at all. It did work great on my cough. OK, now..about 3 months ago I went with my husband to the doctor and he had a bad cough, our doctor said "Well they stopped making what I think was the best ever cough medicine and this is the closest thing they have to it now." when we got it I noticed it said With Hydrocodone, but I can't remember the name of either med. Its a shot in the dark, I know, but does anyone know of any narcotic anti-tussin that has been changed or discontinued, in the past couple of years? The real question is can I take Vicodin and not be sick, if I can't take Lortab or morphine?
What is the name of the narcotic anti-tussin no longer made?

lortab is hydrocodone and maybe your thinking of robatussin AC which has codine in it. i see it prescribed alot for children and the elderly. if its an RX your thinking of this would probably be it if your thinking of an over the counter only thing i can think of would be things with tylenol in them

oh sorry hydrocodone is the same as vicodin. only difference between this and lortab is the amount of hydro and tylenol but each of the genarics are hydrocodone/apap (tylenol) however tylenol #3 (tylenol with codine) is something you may be able to take. um... tramadol is another pain killer thats narcotic like, but its sedating
