Hydromet and Dizziness: What Users Say

For Cough "I was taking Hydromet for pneumonia. It seemed to work quite well the first night, as I took it right before bed, and I slept very well. However, I found that while taking it during the day, I got extremely nauseous and continuously threw up until an anti-nausea prescription finally came through. I usually do fine taking pill forms of codeine, such as Vicodin, etc., but find that in taking this during the day, it causes such dizziness that you feel like you're on a horrible theme park ride. Do not recommend if you are susceptible to vomiting from being too dizzy; seems to work for others though."

For Cough "I took 2 teaspoons of this cough medicine because I have been bothered with a consistent cough due to a virus that has overtaken my family. Anyway, I fell into a twilight sleep where I could still hear the T.V. and could hear myself snore. I was having scary dreams. I couldn't urinate when I went to the bathroom. Going into the 3rd or 4th hour after taking the medicine, I woke up with nausea, dizziness, and a headache. I ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor with a pillow. That kind of reaction is not something that I want to experience again."

For Cough "The Hydromet worked great for suppressing the cough, but after the second day of taking it, I am experiencing dizziness and slight hearing loss in my left ear. I thought I was experiencing vertigo (which has never been a condition I've dealt with) until I read the side effects for this medicine. I haven't taken the medicine in 2 days, and I'm still dizzy. I've walked into walls, fell back into my seat as I'm trying to get up."

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