Hard Cough

I got some hydrocodone cough syrup called ‘hydromet’ from my Doctor today. I am trying to figure out how many miligrams of hydrocodone is in a table spoon so I can get a better I idea of what dose will work best for me. I would like to take 5mg of hydrocodone at once, not less, not more. Any suggestions?

in one 5ml teaspoon of hydromet you will get 5mg of hydrocodone and 1.5mg of Homatropine and the latter will dry you up so don’t take more than you’re supposed to.

I am crazy when it comes to being sick. I hate being sick. I take medicine as soon as I get ANY cold symptoms. My mom says that taking cough syrup with just minor symptoms damages my immune system. She says that my immune system depends for that medicine.

Also, last year I got sick 5 times… each a different illness. (strep, stomach flu, the regular flu, etc.)

Thanks!!!

Your Mom is right you should let your immune system fight those infectious bacterias so that you can get stronger . Otherwise your immune system will weaken over time . Good luck

Robitussin for instance, how do people get high from that? Is it just if you take enough? Do you get close to overdosing when trying to get high from Robitussin?

anyway, I guess what I am asking is …how much of a cough syrup are you supposed to take?

Can you die from it if you are also taking anti depressants or whatnot?

(no i am not planning to do it). I just hear a lot about this and got curious so don’t lecture

There’s a chemical in cough syrup called DXM and in large amounts it can make you high. How much you take is dependant on your body weight and on how high you want to get. People that enjoy getting high off of DXM say that you can’t overdose, which is untrue. A kid my boyfriend used to be friends with died of a robitussin overdose just a few months ago. And drinking large quantities of cough syrup is really, really awful for numerous organs in your body. Just because it’s technically legal doesn’t mean it’s safe, most illegal drugs are much safer than chugging robitussin. And it’s dangerous to take if you’re taking MAOI’s or SSRI’s I believe.

I tried getting high off DXM (the cough suppressant and psychedelic that’s in cough syrup), but I could only get down like 300 mg of DXM before getting extremely nauseas. I’ve been told that it takes about 800-900 mg to REALLY trip, but how would I get down this much?

stupid question!

I hate taking anything I don’t know whats in it. All the pharmacy told me is it’s like a cough syrup with 3 diff meds in it. Does anybody know the three meds?

its a combination what they refer to as a cocktail of meds

My sister recently broke out into hives after taking this medicine as well as another medicine. We are trying to narrow down the possibilities, but I do not have the cough syrup’s ingredients. So if someone could please give me the ingredients or a place to get the ingredient list. Thanks!

Hi.

I think I’ll be tripping on DXM again sometime soon. I don’t have any pure powder, so I’ll be drinking cough syrup. I was wondering if the ginger gravol will be as effective in relieving the nausea as regular gravol. I don’t think that ginger could react unpleasantly with the DXM, but I’m not sure.

Thanks in advance!
hope you cause brain damage you f’ing retard.

in hopes of getting drunk… will it work?

i drank half bottle of mouth wash just bout and less than half bottle of the cough syrup

how long will it take till i feel it?
i dont have money to buy my southern comfort.. so this is all i got.

You have a serious problem. Seek help.

I have a bottle of CVS Tussin Maximum Strength Cough Syrup, and it’s best if use date is from 2003. Is it still safe to use?

The generic answer is Never Use out-of-date medicine.

In truth, there’s nothing in the cough medicine that goes "bad". It’ll work now just as well as it would have worked in 2003.

But again, you should "Never Use Out-of-Date Medicine".
(Kind of a legal disclaimer, you know?)

This is kind of a weird question, I’ll admit, but it’s true! Sometimes when I’m ill and go through the medication process of drinking cough medicine or any liquid medication, my urine often smells like cough syrup. I can sort of justify why it would, but can anyone give me more details as to why my urine would? Is it serious?
