Did I relapse ?

I have been doing SO well with my taper off percocets.( down to ONE 7.5 mg day )from 5-7 a day. Even turned down off for oxycontin from Dr. at one time.
my question is this. I had developed bronchitis as after effect of the flu and couldn't get over the ickies( didn't resort to taking extra percs though ),. Went to Urgent Care and was presribed 4 ounces of Tussionex.( along with antibiotic and steriod dose pack for inflammation) I was to take it at night if coughing woke me up or kept me up. I took it DURING THE DAY. I took the prescirbed amount plus a dab more. Didn't catch a buzz per se but did feel good. How is this going to effect my taper off the percocets ?

Re: Did I relapse ?

I have been in is exact same situation when I was withdrawing. I came down with a horrible cold and was given Tussionex for my cough. If you look this med up on the internet it does contain Hydrocodone. I believe it is 10mg hydro to a teaspoon of Tussionex I think???? I only took it for three days so the withdrawl was not bad. I wouldn't take the Percs if you are taking this to. I would hold on to them in case you need them after this med is gone.

Re: Did I relapse ?

Wow gals,

I am on day 36 today and now have a cold too. My whole family has the same thing so I think I got it from them. My wife actually missed work Monday she was so sick. I don't feel really that sick. I can still work but I have a nasty head cold and not much coughing. I smoke Cigs so when I quit that it will most likely help me feel even better.

My plan is to quit at the end of the month.

As Always,
Peace.
