As with others, I have experienced the more pleasurable side effects of Hycotuss. It maybe slightly less addicting than Tussionex because it is not a suspension, though it has hydrocodone in it, so of course it can be addictive. The strange thing with hydrocodone is that for some people it relaxes them, while in other people it aggravates them, or stimulates them. I have no explanantion for this, but have several friends that fit this description. It's kind of like how you aren't supposed to give Xanax to a psychotic patient, because it can trigger a paradoxical excictation in them. Chances are for you sleeping beauty, you should take the Hycotuss about 3 hours before you usually go to sleep and enjoy the ride and you should be tired and able to sleep without nightmares, if not, call your doctor. Personally, I noticed that it was neither stronger that Tussionex or Vicodin ES, but that's just me.

My 12 year old son was put on Geodon for BPD. He was started at 40mg BID and 3days later upped to 60mg BPD. He slept through the first 3 days at 40mg and I contacted psydoc hesitant to increase. She insisted that paradoxical reactions happen at lower doses and that we should increase it.

They were horrible!! He begged me to make them stop. We stopped the Geodon. He is now very depressed, going through withdrawl, vomiting and still having intrusive thoughts that won't stop of the most perverse sexual nature.
The psych ward for kids is full and he can't be admitted. He is begging for help to make the horrible thoughts stop. It's been about 40 hours since last dose. I called psydoc after the assessment to say he wasn't admitted to hospital and still vomiting and going through withdrawl and begging for someone to help him to stop these thoughts. She has not called us back and it's been four hours.
