Homatropine / hydrocodone for Cough "I have been taking Hydromet cough syrup for 10 years. It works just as well today as it did when I started it (prescribed by my pulmonologist). I have a lung disease and cough incessantly. Sometimes I can stop on my own, but when I start gagging and vomiting, I take 2 teaspoons of the medicine, and within seconds I am able to stop. I feel no narcotic effect, only relief from gagging. I have even had severe headaches from violent coughing. I would have no quality of life without Hydromet."

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 "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. My coughing is gone now, but I’ve been dealing with a pounding headache and feel nauseous. I learned my lesson!"

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 night's sleep."

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 aren't worth it for me."

For Cough "It stopped a persistent cough. But the side effects for me were unpleasant. Woke up the next morning with a headache, nausea, and like the room was spinning. Had no appetite for several hours."
