Homatropine / hydrocodone 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."

Homatropine / hydrocodone 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."

Homatropine / hydrocodone 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."

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 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 I may react to medicines more readily). It makes me awfully drowsy and dizzy, so 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)."

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 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."

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."

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, one 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. Twenty-four hours and fifteen vomit sessions later, I'd rather have bronchitis. Never again."

For Cough "It worked just OK with the first dose, after that, it didn't do much to control the cough. I also found it did nothing to help get the mucus up. I had no adverse side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or dizziness. This is with a carefully measured dose of one teaspoon. Overall, I found it to be non-effective."

Homatropine / hydrocodone for Cough "Works miraculously on a cough. Be careful of the side effects. Makes me somewhat woozy and dizzy. Use only when desperate for relief."

For Cough "Makes me very drowsy, induces vertigo, but stops cough better than any other treatment I've tried."

For Cough "I have a nasty case of the flu and a severe cough, which landed me in the ER. They prescribed this medication, and I thought I knew what to expect, but I was sadly mistaken. The severe cough was controlled almost instantly. I slept well, but the side effects were wicked. I felt dizzy, delirious even. It was as if I were drunk or even on acid, perhaps. I ended up vomiting multiple times the next day. The side effects of the medication can take up to 24 hours or more to wear off. However, this medication really does do what it is prescribed to do, and that's stop the persistent, hacking cough."
