Hydromet (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "This medicine worked for cough and definitely made me sleepy, but DO NOT take more than recommended...even if you think you have a high tolerance or it hasn’t kicked in it. My coughing is gone now but I’ve been dealing with a pounding headache and feel nauseous. I learned my lesson!"

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "Hycodan worked great for the cough, but I ended up with a rebound headache the next morning. It also made me itchy and have strange dreams. Even with all these side effects, it was worth it to have a good nights sleep."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "This works great for coughs. I had bronchitis pretty bad and it worked almost immediately. I didn't really look at what the doctor was giving me so I didn't realize right away that it was going to be so strong. I don't take it every four hours as directed. I take it once or twice a day and that is enough. At first I made the mistake of taking it right out of the bottle; big mistake. Don't take more than directed, in my case I was told to take one teaspoon. That is more than enough. "

Hydromet (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "I kept this cough syrup even though it was five years old. Took it to stop an uncontrollable cough and boy did it work! I was able to sleep soundly, better than ever. Woke up and did not feel like moving much. I would not take this if I had to go to work in the day. I only took one teaspoon and have done it for two nights."

Hydromet (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "After coughing for almost a year and taking many OTC coughing meds, my primary care physician gave me Hydromet and my cough was under control. I was no longer coughing during church or work and I was able to sleep without coughing. And there were no side effects."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "This medication worked great at stopping my cough immediately. I was diagnosed with bronchitis but I think it is now pneumonia. A strange thing happened though. I noticed every time I took it, a few hours later I would feel like I had the flu. My skin would hurt and I would actually get a fever which I didn't have before."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "I found this medication to be in a completely different class to other other the counter medicines. It knocked the cough out, and for the whole night. I slept like a baby without difficulty in waking up. Follow directions exactly even though teaspoon seems like a tiny amount, it is strong medication. You will not be disappointed with it."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "This medicine was used for a racking cough. It gave relief and allowed sleep. It is an important tool in the physicians medicine chest. Take only the exact prescribed dose. it is very strong. Go to bed."

Hydromet (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "I had this medicine from last year for my asthma attack and continuous cough from the allergy season. I took the medice yesterday night about 9:00 p.m. Then I tried to drink a soup but I couldn't because I was so dizzy and with nausea. I went to sleep but I couldn't. I got off this morning feeling in the same way, but anyway I went to work, one hour later I came back home after threw up 3 times and I am still on bed."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "My poor son had a case of bronchitis and would cough until he actually threw up. Off to the Doctor we went and when I saw what the Doctor gave him, I knew he would be better soon. As I had taken it when I was younger and remembered how well it worked. "

Hydromet (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "I was given this for the bad cough I have with the flu and a double ear infection. It definitely is the best cough suppressant I've ever taken. The side effects I didn't like were the intense itching ALL over and the drowsiness. It is something to definitely only take at night but I was still drowsy the entire next day. I am not a light weight with medicine at all...but this one kicked my cough's butt. I wasn't told not to take my klonipen with it either so my first dose I had already taken it and the side effects were intensified. I couldn't sleep and had horrible nightmares. Definitely works...but be very careful with it."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "Twice I've had dry coughs that weren't helped by OTC syrups. In each case it felt as though I had a bit of dust adhering to wall of my throat. I went for several days without decent sleep because of all the coughing each night. I was miserable. In both cases hydrocodone (once in pill form and once Hycodan syrup) cured the cough and I was able to get a decent nights sleep. If you ever have bronchitis that keeps you up all night coughing, don't waste time being miserable. Go to a doctor."

For Cough "I took the recommended dosage before bed when prescribed for bronchitis to help suppress cough and allow me some rest. To my extreme disappointment and surprise, 1 hour later I feel blanketed in a thick, heavy fog but completely unable to sleep because I'm WIDE awake. For hours. I can barely lift my head off the pillow and if I do, I'm in a world of awful swirls, dizzy, and I'm trying to get my confused body to the toilet before I'm throwing up in my bed. 24 hours and 15 vomit sessions later, I'd rather have bronchitis. Never. Again."

Hydromet (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "I was prescribed hydromet for a flu related cough. It did great for taking care of my cough, but the vomiting, itching, headache and light sensitivity that I have as side effects isn't worth it for me."

For Cough "After fighting off a cold I end up with terrible bronchitis. The type of cough that makes you vomit with bruised ribs abs and you have to hold your head because of the pain. Walk in clinics give me useless puffers that have zero impact on my cough and how can you get better if you can't sleep? My family doc will prescribe this to me and it works immediately on half the dose. I'm very intolerant to any type of drug so I take half the dose on a full stomach and lots of liquids. You need to administer it properly but it works for me every time. Relief from my symptoms is like a gift from heaven. It's too bad that so many are trying to get this for the wrong reasons, the patients that really need it can't get it from a walk in clinic or emerg."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "Worked well on my cough. Did not suppress it completely which was a good thing since I was coughing up so much phlegm. Was able to rest on the medication. However if I took it during the day I found myself wanting to nod off and if I would not let myself sleep I would get a little dizzy."

For Cough "I usually get a persistent cough when I come down with a head cold. So, just before bed I take 5 ml ( 1 teaspoon ) measured carefully. Fortunately, none of the stomach side effects (which seem to be more common with higher dosages.) During the day I live with the cough, which I understand is somewhat necessary to clear the lungs. If I didn't take anything at all I would never get a proper night's sleep when I needed it the most - to recover from an illness."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "I have had a chronic cough for more than five years. Ever since I started taking blood pressure medicine which was Lisinopril. That's when it all started. Wish I had never taken it. I started coughing and the longer I took it, the worse it got. So the doctor changed my BP meds, but still coughed. It got so bad I would throw up. After trying about a dozen BP meds the cough never stopped. Finally, a doctor tried Hycodan and it worked like a charm. But you can't take it long term so, I'm also taking Gabapentin three times a day for a nerve reflex thing in my throat. Hycodan works great at night to help me sleep and not cough because Gabapentin makes my legs hurt and ache so bad. Only cough medicine I have ever taken that stops my cough. I give it a 10."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "This is the ONLY medication for cough I have ever taken that actually works. Back in the 90s, I got severe colds that left me with nagging, relentless coughs that would drag on for weeks. My doctor prescribed hycodan for me in pill form. With in MINUTES of taking it, the cough would stop the cough straight away, after it had bee plaguing me relentlessly for days. I would only have to take it 3 times per day for about 4 days before the cold and chest "tickle" would be gone so that the cough would not come back without the medication. Yes, it's an opioid. And now everybody is freaked out and doctors are reluctant to prescribe it. I actually had a doctor refuse to prescribe it for me today, claiming that the "literature doesn't support that it works". It WORKS. It is a great cough medication."

For Cough "I had been congested and coughing for five days finally went to the doctor and they gave me this medicine. I started taking it at 8pm last night and I have take two doses of it now. It works immediately. My only concern is it is now 5am and I haven't been sleepy or drowsy. I have been up all night with tons of energy. This stuff is really good."

For Cough "I had a terrible cough for days with no relief. Tried tessalon perles with some relief but cough persisted. We happened to have this cough med in the bathroom and my husband suggested I take some. I was reluctant because of being prone to nausea with pain meds. I was desperate so I took the prescribed dose. It helped almost immediately and I didn't cough at all for hours and slept great. Plus no nausea. It gives your body time to rest and heal. Maybe get a prescription for an anti nausea med to go along with it if that's a problem for you. Do yourself a favor and try it. Do a test with a half dose at first."

For Cough "I only gave this med a 5 because I have mixed feelings about it. As a cough suppressant it worked 'good' for me. Not great.. but I'm able to sleep better with less coughing. The cough is better. But the side effects have been awful for me. (I'm over 70 years old, so may react to medicines more readily). It makes me awfully drowsy and dizzy so that I won't drive. And after my morning dose today I started feeling nauseous and vomited (I have a cast iron stomach and never vomit unless I get the stomach flu). "

For Cough "After having no luck with the prescription Virtussin, I went to doctor and got Rx for hydrocodone/homatropine. I was nervous about all the nausea statements, so I had a small snack before I tried it. It did not completely stop the cough, but it certainly reduced it enough to let me grab a couple of hours sleep. The directions call for 1 teaspoon every 4 to 6 hours. Fortunately, I did not experience any nausea. When I did wake up in the middle of the night, I usually stayed up for about 30 minutes drinking ginger ale, having a snack, and trying to cough up some of the phlegm. All in all, I am pretty happy with this drug. It is also possible that the Virtussin that I originally tried was just old."

Hycodan (homatropine / hydrocodone) for Cough "I had a case of acute bronchitis. Was given Tylenol #3 tabs, 1 every four hours as needed for cough. For whatever reason it didn’t work. They then gave me Tessalon perles. They were TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. Finally the ER nurse gave me what she said was 5 ccs of Hycodan. Never heard of it before. Within an hour my coughing was much less troublesome. I was given a prescription for 120 mls of this cough medicine and it worked very well. Aside from some sedation, I was able to eat and sleep. This medication is effective for me."

For Cough "I've been coughing for almost two weeks now from a bad sinus infection and no otc meds were working for me. So my doctor prescribed this syrup for me and it has worked wonders. It has greatly reduced my coughing and I'm able to sleep again. I've only experienced mild dizziness with this medication. And I'm usually knocked out an hour after taking it, which is amazing."
