Possible overdose, should I go the hospital?!


Question: Possible overdose, should I go the hospital?
Posting this question again, I've been having a very bad fever/ cough with lots of phlegm i took 2 1/4 tablespoons of tussionex and feeling very strangeand a little panicky. I only took more than because I feel asoutley horrible and it has hydrocodone, didn't think it was too much too take? recommended dose is 1 teaspoon twice a day. I'll get kicked outta my house for good for if i gotta tell my parents and go to the hospital. I can't tell very well but I think I might be coming down from it though

Well, tussionex is prescribed for a cough. I really dont think u are having an overdose. You only took double the amount. It will take more for you to overdose. Have you ever taken hydrocodone before? If not, you are just feeling the effects of it then possibly. I think you are having a panic attack. It is easy to freak yourself out on medications that you are new to. It happened to me on Phentermine. I take 35 mg of hydrocodone at a time. ok, so you just took 22.5 mg of hydrocodone. if u haven't ever taken that much before. you will have a major high. you might feel itchy too. anyways u will be fine probably. i've never know anyone to overdose on that much. sleep it off. u may feel nauseous though if dont already. a lot of people get sick from hydrocodone but that is usually from the acetaminophen in it.
