Tussionex Addiction

The prolonged use of narcotic analgesics can lead to dependence and addiction, and Tussionex is no exception. The medication’s combination of chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing and cough due to cold or flu. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine and hydrocodone is a potentially habit-forming semi-synthetic opioid pain reliever. Hydrocodone can trigger both physical and mental addiction. Hydrocodone-containing products are marketed under several names including Vicodin, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Anexsia, Hycodan, Vicoprofen, Tramadol, Zydone, Tylox and Hycomine. It is most often used in medication for treatment of pain and cough suppression.

How Tussionex Addiction Develops

When Tussionex is used for long periods of time, or at high doses, tolerance can develop, causing some to take more than prescribed. This can be dangerous, even fatal in some cases. Risks of misuse or overuse include overdose, dependence and addiction. Compulsive use of Tussionex and other opiate painkillers can easily lead to addiction, which is a condition that can progress and worsen over time. Drug addiction can cause intense cravings for the drug, both mentally and physically. Many habitual users experience very unpleasant physical effects when they try to stop using. Those who become addicted habitually seek out their drug of choice, regardless of the negative consequences that may result. Researchers say physical addiction occurs when repeated use alters reward pathways in the brain.

Treating Addiction

Addiction is a serious condition and can lead to many social, personal and legal problems. Relapse is somewhat common among opiate users, especially with those who don’t detox in a medically-supervised setting.  Many addiction experts agree that sustained sobriety is best achieved when treatment is sought early on. One of the biggest reason people delay seeking help is for fear of withdrawal. This can include intense physical discomfort, anxiety, muscle spasms, flu-like symptoms, tremors, hallucination and delirium. Detoxing from opioids can be extremely difficult and many people require in-patient treatment that is monitored in a professional setting. Withdrawal from opioid drugs can be very intense. Drug detoxification is often the first step in a drug rehab program and could include any number of intervention strategies aimed at ridding users of addictive substances.
