Another RX Cough Syrup Question

[dopeman]

Per 5ml
5mg Hydrocodone Bitartrate
200mg Guaifenesin
60mg PSEUDOEPHEDRINE HCI
This stuff has quite a bit of PSEUDOEPHEDRINE HCI my question is how much of this stuff does it take to start having bad effects that would take away from the Hydrocodone.
15ml so far isnt too bad but I am sorta afraid to take more than that.

uhhh i take that back im feeling sorta nausous (sp?) maybe its the gufistuff makein me feel sick.
I think this stuff is pretty useless except for a cough. There is too much ephidrine in it.

well 60mgs is like one sudafed pill!
I absolutely love syrup! I have been on it for about two years almost three, at least a bottle a month.
tell your doctor this certain syrup is upsetting your stomach! He'll probably call you in something different
maybe Tusionex if you are lucky

200mg Guaifenesin
that is what is causing your upset stomach.

pseudoephedrine can be extrated very easily, I know from pills its easy, and dxm doesnt dissolve in water. figure out if pseudo dissolves in water or not as well. I dont know if yah wanna do that, its easier than extracting the dxm though.

seriously!! guaifenesin makes you throw up. end of story. it's ld50 is pretty high up there, but it causes major stomach irriatation.
edit: looks like me and math go together like oil and water. sorry about that... i blame society. and my parents. and george bush.

Tell the doctor it makes you too hyper and you can't get to sleep and maybe you'll get a version without so much pseudophedrin.

ok am i crazy or am the only one who has ever seen hydrocone liquid wihtout any other shit besided apa mind you this was a cancer patient
your not the only one. i've seen hydrocodone/apap, oxycodone/apap (roxanol I believe), and god's best creation ever OxyFast, containing 20mg oxycodone/mL.

at 15 ml, you have 3000 mg of guaifenesin. imho that's too much. vomit central in my books.

No, at 15 ml you have 600 mg of guaifenesin not 3000.
600 mg... may or may not make you feel bad. It's not that outrageous of a dose. Maybe you're just susceptible. 3000 mg on the other hand... You'd need 75 ml of the syrup to get that dosage. The dosages were per 5 ml not 1 ml.

Well after a bit of complaining the DR. changed it to
Entex HC
Per 5ml
Hydrocodone Bitartrate 5mg, Phenylephrine HCl 7.5mg, Guaifenesin 100mg
This sounds like it will be much better. I am however still feeling sorta sick I dont think that Guaifensin sits to well with me.

This man can do math. He is correct I took 600mg of the stuff and 15mg of hydrocodone and 180mg of psudoephidrine. All in all I ended up getting a bit itchy then sweaty then nausous (sp?) and within 2 or 3 hours was pretty much back to normal. Woke up with a terrible headache and have been feeling a little like throwing up most of the day for whatever reason who knows.

Is there a way to extract the hydrocodone from the rest of the syrup or remove the majority of the other stuff?

Roxanol is Roxane Lab's oral morphine concentrate, containing up to 20 mg/ml. Their oxy/apap product is called "Roxicet". Don't know if this is offered in a liquid form though.
